“The Porte Has Ordered Na
zim Pasha to Resume Milita
ry Operations,” Says Offi
cial Announcement
■ (By AaweUted Brest.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 21.—The
Ottoman government has rejected the
terms offered by the allied .Balkan na
tions. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish com
mander-in-chief, has been ordered to re
sume operations.
The Bulgarian terms of peace are
impossible, according to the Turkish
grand vizier. Kiamil Pasha said:
"I received last night in a communi
cation through the Russian ambassador
to Turkey the terms which the Bul
garians suggest for an armistice, as a
preliminary to the discussion of terms
of peace. The terms are impossible,
and unless they are radically altered
the war will continue.
'The Bulgarians ask for the surren
der of Adrianople. Scutari. Ganona and
Tchatalja lines."
The only hope of peace, the corre
spondent adds, now seems to lie in
tile fact that the demands of the allies
probably were determined on before the
unsuccessful attacks were made by th»
Bulgarians on the Tchatalja lines dur
ing the first three days of this week.
The porte, finding the
conditions for an armistice* tnaccepta
ble. has ordered Nazim Pasha to re
sume military cperations.
In an attack on the Turkish cruiser
Ilamldieh In the Black sea this morn
ing two Bulgarian torpedo boats are
asserted to have been sunk and two
other torpedo boats badly battered.
The Ha midi eh is said to have escaped
practically without damage.
Terms Offered by Allies Are
Said Not to Be Harsh
(Sy Operated Pres*.)
VIENNA. Nov. JL—Terms offered to
Turkey by the Balkan nations are
neither tn form nor in substance un
compromising. according to information
derived from an authoritative source in
Sofia. They even leave the door open
to eventual 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 to the Hungarian
delegates at a banquet last evening,
expressed bis admiration at the way
the Bulgarian troops had behaved dur
ing the war. On the other hand, how
ever. his majesty declared he could not
understand why the fortunes of war
were so favorable to the Turks.
Referring to the dispatches of an
Austro-Hungarian consular official to
Investigate the situation at Prisrenu.
the emperor expressed the hope that
the reports published regarding the
Servian treatment of the Austro-Hun
gerian consul there would prove exag
gerated and that the incident would be
settled peacefully.
The Reichsnost sent instructions to
Lieutenant Wagner to proceed to Prls
rend. but the Servian government pre
vented him from going. While staying
at Nish, Lieutenant Wagner reports
that he heard well-nigh incredible de
tails of the barbarities committed by
the Servian troops on the Albanians.
A Red Cross doctor with the Servian
army told him:
‘The Servians gave him no quarter.
All the Albanians, armed or unarmed,
as well as the women and children who
fell into their hands,, were mercilessly
killed. General Stepbanovitch. the
Servian commander, had the Albanians
captured at Kaalova formed into two
rows and shot to death with machine
guns, the general saying:
‘"We must extirpate these Austro-
Hungarian favorites.*
“General Zivkovitch also had 950 Al
banian and Turkish notables cut down
near Sienltza. After the battle of
Kumanovo, numerous wounded Alban
ians and Turks were buried with the
dead. In the Servian fortress of Nish
several Albanian women suspected of
throwing bombs at the Servian troops
entering Verisovitz were killed by Ser
vian soldiers, who battered in their
skulls with the butts of rifles."

MILLEDGEVILLE. Ga., Nov. '2o.
With all cotton picked and farming
preparations more advanced than for
years, the planters of Baldwin county
are putting in a large acreage tn oats
and preparing to diversify their crops
next year and insure against loss by the
one-crop system. The cotton crop has
proven the shortest here in years, and
yet the outlook is not gloomy, most
farmers being optimistic. While they
did not make a good corn crop, still they
sawd an immense amount of hay and
cowpeas and are going to have hogs
enough to stkpply a lot of meat.
But few farmers held their cotton
during the picking season, and conse
quently did not get the present high
i price. Ginneries are now running only
one day in a week, while at this period
last year they were running overtime.
Children are all in school and active
farm work is practically at standstill,

Commoner Declares Demo

Had Wholesome Effect—No
%
Business Nervousness
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga.,* 1 Nov. 20.—Prosperi
ty is going to be the keynote of the
Democratic regime, is the opinion of
Hon. William Jennings Bryan, who ar
rived in Savannah early Wednesday
morning. Mr. Bry m is most optimistic
over the recent successes, and talks
interestingly of what he believes will
come to pass during the next four
years.
Mr. Brian left the city at 4 o’clock
Wednesday afternoon for Waycross,
where he speaks Wednesday night He
returns Thursday morning and will
speak at the Guards' hall "’hursday
night
While in the city today he was the
guest of Colonel Pleasant A. Stovall,
editor of the Press. During the morn
ing he went automobiling with the Rev.
W. Moore Scott, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. Mrs. Bryan is
with Colonel Bryan, and 'eaving Savan
nah they will go to Miami, Fla., to
spend the Winter.
VICTORY OVERWHELMING.
When asked what effect he thought
the Democratic success would have on
the country, Colonel Bryan said:
"It has already had a wholesome ef
fect The panle scare talk brought, out
in every campaign to strengthen the
Republican pai t; is already shown to
haw been a iruufi. The Democratic
victory is overwhelming. We have’ the
president and the control of the senate
ar.d the house of representatives, and
can carry out all Democratic policies.
“There is not the slightest evidence
of nervousness among the business men.
This shows that the designs of the de
signing were frustrated, apd the fears
of the fearful without foundation.”
Replying to the question of whether
he thought the downward revision of
the tariff would affect the prices of
food stuffs in such a material manner
that the so-called “common people”
would benefit by it, Coionel Bryan
stated: *
DISCUSSES TARIFF.
“The lowering of the tariff wlil af
fect the prices of those things which
the tariff has raised. You have to dis
tinguish in considering prices between
tire world’s price level and the level of
prices in this country. A reduction of
the tariff will not mater ially affect the
prices fixed by the world's price level,
but a reduction of the tariff will reduce
prices that have been abnormally in
creased by import duties.
“Tire question of what ocher impor
tant legislation would faoe the Demo
cratic congress soon after it started to
work received a quick answer from
Colonel Bryan:
“There are two other subjects which
will receive early attention,” he stated,
“the trusts and the currency questions,
the legislation of the trust question will
have for its objects the prevention of
private monopoly.
“Governor Wilson stated hfs posi
tion on- the subject in, nearly every
speech. .His purpose it to restore com
petition and he correctly interprets the
party’s position on the subject.”
CURRENCY QUESTION.
• In dealing with the currency ques
tion the party will no doubt be gov
erned by the plank tn the platform.
That is opposition to the establishment
of a central bunk of advoctaing such a
systematic revision of the banking laws
as will render tetrtporary relief in lo
calities where such relief is needed.
“With protection from the control and
domination of what is known as the
money trust. I am convinced that the
bulk of the talk is in favor or a cur
rency revision is the outcome of a de
sire to increase the control that Wall
street now has over our finances.
“The enthusiasm is likely to sub
side when a plan is proposed which
gives relief to the public and at the
same time furnished protection against
the money trust.”
DELAYED BY WRECK.
Mr. Bryan was due to arrive in Savan
nah yesterday morning, but be was de
layed owing to a wreck. Speaking cf
the cause of the delay he said:
“’/he wreck occurred just above
Raleigh, and it was the train that we
were to have taken. The wreck was
a most distressing affair.
“A number of trainmen were killed,
and one engineer. Mr. C. A. Ueckham.
Just before Mr. Beckham went on the
run he called on our party and brought
some tomatoes to us. He was a very
genial inan and an enthusiastic Demo
crat. It is hard to realize that he is
one o fthe victims of the wreck.
“The sudden death of one whom we
know brings to us a vivid realization
of the uncertainties of life. On a for
mer v’slt to North Carolina. Dr. Mclvcr
died suddenly on the train.”

Aged Couple Traveled
. Miles Every Month to
Plead for Son's Pardon
With the announcement Thursday
morning that Governor Brown had
paroled. James Bruce, a convict serving
a four-year term in the Rockdaje coun
' ty camp for robbery, comes to - light a
story Involving the unswerving loyalty
and devotion of an aged and illiterate
mountaineer couple for their erriqg eon.
Bruce, who is about thirty years old
and married, lived near his parents in
the mountains of Pickens county.
About two and a half years ago he was
convicted of robbery. The story told to
j the jury by the young mountaineer and
' to which he has stuck ever since was
' that he'and two companions gave a man
some money with which to get them
I some whisky. The man produced some
whisky, but not the quantity named in
the purchase. A demand was made
upon him for the full amount of liquor
or a return of the money.
When the liquor vendor refused to
comply with the demand Bruce and his
companions seized him and by force
took from him the money which they
had previously paid for the liquor.
During the two and a half years the
young man has been on the chain gang
his parents have made regular monthly
trips to Atlanta to plead with the prison
commission in his behalf. They are
very poor people and when they could
1 not get sufficient money for the rail
road fare the old father, John Bruce,
would put his wife upon the train and
; walk the seventy miles from his home
in Pickens county to Atlanta. The old
couple always brought their food sup
plies with them.
While in Atlanta they would haunt
the offices of the prison commission beg
ging that their boy be returned to them.
One day last week Chairman R. E. Da
vidson received a poorly scrawled post
' card from the father on which he wrote
that longing for his son was causing
him much suffering. He declared the
days passed too slowly and concluded
by asking that his boy be sent home
in time to eat Thpfiksgiving dinner with
his parents. /
The long-deferred hope of the old cou
ple has at last been realized arid on
Thursday afternoon Janies Bruc j will
leave the Rockdale camp for I’ickeos
county.

Only Accommodate The
Journal’s Immediate Party
Through their officers several ama
teur bands in Georgia towns and cities
have volunteered to The Journal their
services for the great inauguration trip
which this paper is to give 125 south
ern school and college boys. Imbued
with the enthusiasm aroused by The
Journal’s inauguration campaign, these
bands have offered to furnish music for
the occasion free of all charge.
Although appreciating to the fullest

possible to avail Itself of any of them.
All of the accommodations afforded by
ttie special six-car Pullman train which
The Journal will charter to carry its
school and college boy guests to Wash

of the party and the representatives of
The Journal who will accompany them.
There are other reasons why the
kindly offers of the bands cannot be
accepted. The Journal would not care

and college boys will be so busy wit
nessing the inauguration of President
Woodrow Wilson and viewing the
sights in dnd around Washington that
they will have precious little time to
devote to band concerts.
Wednesday two more newspapers, one
of them located in a thriving South
Carolina city, petitioned The Journal th
include in its inauguration party cer
tain young to be selected by these
papers in Inauguration campaigns sim
ilar to that of The Journal.
They wrote enthusiastically of Tbe
j Journal’s enterprise in arranging to
take so many southern school and col
lege boys to Washington, and stated
their willingness to stand any expense
necessitated by additional accommoda
tions for the young men to be desig
nated by them.
“The Journal has mapped out a won
derfully comprehensive plan for the en
tertainment and education of the mem
bers of its party,” wrote one of these
newspapers, "and we would feel exceed
ingly fortunate in being able to put our
young men under the chaperonage of
The Journal on ri»*s occasion.”
The petitions of these newspapers,
like similar ones previously received,
had to be declined. It is necessary
that The Journal’s party be limited, and
it will be quite impossible for this
paper to assume responsibility for the
care, comfort and entertainment of any
besides the members of its party, as
contemplated in the. original plan.

PRESIDENT IS
’ A FUGITIVE
(By Associated Preet.)
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—Agitation that hat
recently sprung up in Chicago for statt
control of private banks led J. H. Nico
lai, attorney for the Italian consul, t«
draw attention to what is known as th«
“garlic bank.” He described it as on«
of the’ biggest banking swindles In ex
istence and said no law for the regula
tion of private banks should be made
without Including it.
"The ‘Garlic Bank’ is started,” he said,
“by an Italian whose only asset is hi»
ingenuity. He becomes secretary for a
whole community of Italians, who know
nothing about American ways of doing
business. Then he starts a bank.
“As soon as the first deposits come In
the ‘banker’ invests them In a grocery.
The first decoration of an Italian groc
ery is a string of garlic In the window.
As he prospers they become more nu
merous.
“To the ignorant Italian these strings
look like real money. z The grocer be
| comes famous for his ‘wealth’ and de-
I posits come pouring in to him. He pays
no interest and gives no receipts. Then
he disappears. An investigation follows
and it is found the 'garlic bankeF has
left no address and his only assets are
found to be strings of garlic.”
Mr. Nicolai says in the last two yearz
as many as ewenty of these banks have
failed. Hundreds of families, he said,
have given up all of their money to them.
