Terms offered to Turkey by the Balkan nations are enlther In form nor In substance un compromising, according to informa tion derived from an authoritative source In Sofia. ,They even leave the door open to eventful modifications by negotiation so that it may be assumed Turkey will accept them and a truce will be brought about. Emperor Francis Joseph, in the course of a speech toj' the Hungarian delegation at a banquet last evening expressed his admiration at the way the Bulgarian troops had behaved during the war. On the other hand, however, his majesty declared he could not understand why the for tunes of war were so unfavorable to the Turks. - 7 '- ' I Referring to the dispatch of an Austro-Hungarian consular officer to nlvestigate the situation at Prlesrend, ! the emperor expressed the hope that the reports published regarding the Servian treatment of the Austro-Hungarian consul there would prove ex aggerated and that the Incident would be settled peacefully. The Reichpost sent Instructions to Lieutenant Wagner to proceed to Prlesrend, bu the Servian govern ment prevented him from going. While staying wt Nish, Lieutenant Wagner reports that he heard well nigh increditable details of the bar barities committed by the Servian troops on'the Albanians. A Red Cross doctor with the Servian army told him: ' , 'The Servians gave them no quar ter.

A special cable to the Chicago Dally News from Pek in, China, contains the following -on the Mongolian situation: Lu Chang Slang, minister of for eign affairs, yesterday presented- a note to the Russian minister concern ing Russia's action in making a treaty with -Mongolia. -In " this - -situation China appears to be following - the tactics adopted by Tang Shao Yt In 1900, when he converted Sir- Francis YounghuBband's treaty with Tibet Into a treaty with China. Lu Chlng Hslang proposes altering Russia's recent note so as to preserve Chinese suzerainty over Mongolia with the minimum loss of control and dig nity at the principal point, China to cend sufficient soldiers to.

NO ASSISTANCE GIVEN TO THE SUFFERING Dying Plead for ,read or .Water as . Visitors Inspect Vast . Laser House. By Associated Preu. Constantinople, Nov. 21. Scenes of suffering and misery are to be wit nessed dally at the Turkish cholera camp at San Stefano. A correspon dent of the Associated Press paid a visit there today. ! Much skepticism had prevailed in Pera, the foreign quarter of Constantinople, both anion,; members of the diplomatic corps and foreign residents. No one there be lieved the figures given by railroad employes and others in contact .with the Turks who declared that many thousands were stricken with cholera. The camp is situated at tho side of a railway embankment 3D ' feet In height. A large open space, like a village green stretches away for some distance. This is Surrounded by bet ter class houses two or three stories high, built In European style, for San Stefano is the summer resort of many of the wealthy residents of Constan tinople. Two Ottoman soldiers were stand ing on guard to the entrance to the camp but they made no motion. Their duty was to prevent those within the cordon from escaping and not to hin der other people from entering. A Nauseating Picture. A nauseating picture was witnessed at the side of the railroad. Bodies which had been thrown from trains lay as they had fallen. Some struck on top of the embankment but others had rolled part of the- way down. Around a one storyfetable at the foot of the embankment was a group of 60 dead and dying,; lying close to gether apparently for warmth on the slopes of. a manureV-wihj, ' which the sick men had- found -softer than the hard ground. One man on top of the pile was digging with his Angers a sort of trough in which to lie. The trough soon became his grave. As visitors came near the sick men raised their heads' and cried in the hearing of the attendants that they were given no bread or water. Walk ing half way across the field the visi tor passed dead and . dying men, sometimes at intervals of a yard,' sometimes from 20 to 80 yards apart I A group of tents stood in the center where four or Ave Turkish soldiers wearing the arm piece of the Red Crescent stood on guard. Inside the sick and dead lay in groups. The doc tor on duty counted 22 patients In one while double that number lay just outside sheltered, from the wind to leeward of the canvas. Attendants Are Indifferent. Some of the stricken found difficul ty In getting into the Moslem position for prayer, looking toward the east One praying victim was. so weak that he could not replace his blanket around his head when the wind blew It off. The Red Crescent attendants made no attempt to assist any of these suffering soldiers, not even placing stones, which were plentiful, under their heads to permit them to lie easier. A number of these attendants gath ered around to watch while the visi tors were Inspecting the camp. One of them became Insolent and was or dered off by the doctor. - A water tank drawn by a. donkey passed along the road. Those of the victims who were able to rise to their feet went unassisted toward It and struggled feebly for a drink. Those unable to rise got none. In a similar way what appeared to be army bread was distributed to those able to reach the place of dis tribution. Several of the sick men raised themselves with difficulty and stumbled toward a well from whldh they tried to dip water with their long sashes. There were hundreds of sick In this camp, many lying on the open ground and great numbers supporting their backs against the houses bordering the open fields, most of which are de serted. The comparatively few Turkish soldiers brought to the hospitals, bar. racks and mosques at Constantinople are more fortunate, although most of them die after reaching their destina tion. Some few of them are given beds to lie In and water to drink and all of them, If they do not get warmth, are provided with shelter from the rains and the wind. San Stefano Is not the worst cholera camp. That at Hademakul, near the Tchatalja lines, Is more extensive. YOUTH KILLS HIMSELF Fires Bullet Through Heart at An guxta When Woman Leaves for Atlanta.

Rather than a business meet ing, however, the scene was more like a gathering for an old-style camp meeting when the first ministers be gan to gather about the High Point edifice. High Point has taken charge of ev ery one of them, and there are more than 300. They are housed in the best of homes and are offered every attention that is within the reach of the people of this city.

It is said the total amount may be from $75 to 6100, while a number of debts were left unpaid. The charges against the other are for alleged Immoral con duct though many expressed the hope that the rumors concerning him were from unfortunate conditions in which he was placed In his work. Discussion of infant Baptism and the opposition of this Methodist doc trine were entered Into, although no debate was engaged in.. That Bap tists have thrown barriers to this phase of Methodism in certain dis tricts was reported, and one Baptist Is said to have taken his child away from home to avoid the minister. Following the talk by Bishop Den ny the secretary was Instructed to call the roll of the last conference, and 144 answered to their names. This did not represent all who were present in the city, for a number came to the church later, while the noon and afternoon trains brought in many others.

Appealing for a verdict of acquittal for Joseph J. Ettor and his co-defendants of the Lawrence textile strike on the broad ground that conviction would be a blow at the right of assembly and free speech, J. P. S. Maboney closed his argument to the Jury today In the murder trial of Ettor, Giovannltti and Caruso. 'The whole world Is watching us," he said. "Watching for your decision in the most serious case that has been tried within my recollection. This case strikes at the roots of govern ment in the matter of assembly and free speech. In Massachusetts, which lit the fires of free speech and reform, which has been the advance guard of progress, if free speech is to be tram pled what can we expect from the re mainder of the world?" i Quotes Ettor's Speeches. Mr. Mahoney urged the Jury to re member that when Ettor said "capi talists had the courts" 84 strikers in e day ' had been sentenced to the house of correction for one year. Et tor's speech to the English speaking workers In the mills, urging them not to "play the aristocrat" because they were better paid than the foreigners. but to "stoop down and lift up the lower paid workers lest the lower paid reach up and pull them down, was quoted. "What better sentiment could be expressed?" Mr. Mahoney argued. ' Is that the attitude of jnan at- . tempting to create strife and lncul- cate the spirit of ,, violence In the hearts of men?" ' ' He arraigned the commonwealth for Introducing the testimony of Special Policeman Moore, who, the defense showed, had been convicted of larceny and assault with a deadly weapon before the strike and convict ed again of assault last month In , Beverly after leaving the Lawrence force. "He Is the only man who gave one word of testimony of direct solici tation of violence on the part of Et tor," Mr. Mahoney said. Attack's State Witnesses. ' "If the government f esorta to men of that character In a case of this seriousness, does It not spell despera tion to secure a conviction?" W. Scott Peters, counsel for Arturo Giovannltti, the New York socialist, began the closing arguments of the defense. "Absurd and preposterous," against his client - Hs declared that some violence during the textile strike could not have been prevented be cause 25.000 persons were on strike, . and In that ormy were people speak ing 26 different languages.
