MILLION TROOPS MOBILIZED FDR DM TO Smaller Kingdoms Prepare to Unite to Resist the “Broken Pledges” of Turkey. VIENNA, Oct. I.—More than 1,000,000 soldiers are on the march today through the Balkans, Russia and Austria in preparation for war in which the actual participants will be Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro and Greece allied to one side against Turkey on the oeher. The mobilizations will cost $10,000,000 even if actual warfare does not result. The military movements in southern Austria and Poland are in anticipation of an eventuality involving the great powers. Both the Austro-Hungarian and Russian governments are converg ing great masses of troops near the southern frontiers in proximity to the Balkan border. Reports received by the continental governments today from their diplo matic representatives in Constantinople and in the capitals of European Turkey construed the situation as critical. An actual declaration of war, however, ig not expected before the expiration of a fortnight if It comes at all. All the European chancellories are working to avert an outbreak of hostilities. The European bourses today reflected the feverishness and tenseness of the situation. Securities were heavily de pressed. Turkey Massing Army. With Turkey massing an army of 500,000 men in the vilavet of Adrianople and in the garrison centers of other •trategetic territories; with Bulgaria. Servia, Montenegro and Greece sum moning their reservists to the colors, the war volcano of the Balkans is near er ta actual eruption than it has been for years. The great powers of Europe, in this instance the International police, are making every effort to avert an out break of hostilities. In the capitals of the Balkan states, however, the efforts are not being met with a receptive spirit. Dispatches from Athens state that Greece is summoning her war strength by land and sea. All the battleehlpe of the Greek navy have been summoned for "maneuvers." All the officers of the Greek army who have been absent on furlough are hurrying home. King George has been scheduled to arrive today from northern Europe, Where he has been visiting. The war footing of the countries di seetty involved is: Turkey, 500.000; Bulgaria. 275,000; Greece, 66,000; Servia, 95,000; Monte negso. 50,000. Tn addition, Russia is concentrating 246,000 troops in Poland, while Austria is moving 50.000 of her 800,000 army to •trategetta points In the south and in Bosnia and HersegoMna- Mrs. Amaada MoQehee.

Seventeenth infantry, that wor the wall sealing contest at Kort McPherson, establishing what is said to lie an army record. These eight men went over a ton Foot wall in 22 2-5 seconds. Stunt Is More Than Mere Mili tary Tactic—lt’s a Real Athletic Feat. When the army of the allied powers battered its way front Tien Tsln during the Boxer rebellion just in time to re lieve the beleaguered legations in Pe kin it was the walls of the enemy and not their bullets that proved most trou blesome. And the careful training of the troops of the American contingent on this lit tle art of warfare known as “wall scal ing" gave the American soldiers the first call. As they will tell you at Port Mc- Pherson. where a squad of eight men from Company E recently lowered what is claimed to be the army record for sealing, this job of eight men getting over a ten or twelve-foot wall in about the same time that it takes one man to run 220 yards is more than a more military tactic. It is an athletic feat, timed and oiled to go like clockwork. At the quarterly field meet of the Sevententh infantry nt Tort McPher son last Friday, thirteen teams, one from each company and one from the regimental detachment, competed in a wall-scaling contest. Company E was returned a victor in the remarkably fast time of 22 2-5 seconds. This, it is claimed, is three-Hfths of a second faster than the best time herteofore made by an army team. According to the dope, the former record was held by .1 team from the Eleventh cavalry, Fort Oglethorpe, Dodge, Ga. For eight grown men, fully equipped, to go over a ten-foot wall in little more than 22 seconds /s no child's play. It lakes team work.ea well as speed. From the standpoint of an eyewitness, it is spectacular. From the standpoint of the men, it Is seven kin/ls of work. Here is tile way it is done, according to the descriptions furnished by an ex pert. The squad of eight Is’ divided in two ranks, front and rear. The ranks are numbered from the right facing the wall—that is, one. two, three and four front and rear rank. The four in the rear rank go over the wall fit st. boosted by the four of the front rank. Then soldiers numbered throe and font of the front rank push one and two of the same tank over. Then font lifts number three up and left alone on (hr ground before the wall four of the front tank takes a running jump. catching a title swung between two and three ol the same tank, and is pulled TABERNACLE NURSE SCHOOL GRADUATES NINE YOUNG WOMEN rhe Tabernacle Training School for Nurses holds its tenth graduating ex ercises tomorrow night at th- Taber nacle at 8:30 o’clock Nine young women will be given diplomas.

The Atlanta bar today issued an ap peal to the voters of Georgia, urging reasons why the amendment to abolish the present justice courts system in large cities should be ratified at the polls tomorrow. Here It is: “The most measure before the voters of Georgia tomorrow is the ratification of the justice court amend ment. The candidates for state offices have been determined. Their election Is a mere formality But the system of courts for the larger cities to be de cided upon tomorrow will be that un dre which the people of those cities will be governed for the next decade. "If the voters are indifferent, or if they are satisfied with present condi tions. and if they fail by their votes to ratify the constitutional amendment giving the legislature the right to es tablish other courts in lieu of justice courts in the large cities, then the peo ple f<*r the next ten years may count upon a continuation of the gross abuses which have been condemned h< almost every element of our civ 1c bod>. Would End Many Evils. ‘But |f. as we believe, tltc people are dissatisfied with the pr-»-?nt s stt'mi and if they register that dis rt’sfac tion at the polls by a ratification of this amendment, then w, can . ount upon the establishment by tile legists- Hire of -i system of municipal Kourts in such of the large cities as desire t'-e same, particularly In Atlanta, that will wipe put most of the evils, nut the judges and constable on a salary ba sis. guarantee speedier trials and the administration of justice to all—that justice which is now denied tn rich and poor alike under *h° present sys tem of extortion and corruption. "Therefore, we ask you to go to th* polls and vote for the ratification of this amendment. Let u.- take a step forward and wipe out rather than per petuate an Iniquitous system. The smaller tow ns are with us because they are neither afflicted by the disease nor affected by our remedy. Remember that this amendment is indorsed by the Georgia Federation of Labor.
