at the front and many' officers and sol
diers in the ranks along the Chatalja
defense are being put to death daily’,
according to information which reached
this city today through secret channels.
Courtmartials are sitting here daily
for the trial of officers who refused to
join their regiments when hostilities
broke out. Sixty-fiv ■ have already been
put to death in the military prison and
125 more are under sentence of death.
Many soldiers as well as officers have

front.
Au army of 25,000 Kurds is marching
on Constantinople, and it is feared they
will attack the city.

The plight of Christians here is de
plorable. The dangeis were height
ened today by an edict from the Sheik
U1 Islam, the head of the Mohammedan
priesthood,, exhorting all true followers
of Mohammed to rise.
There is grave danger of pestilence in
the city. The presence of 30,000
wounded men, the scarcity of water and
bread, and the insanitary’ conditions at
tending the housing of an army all
combine to affect seriously the public
health.
Roman Catholics so far have been
the greatest sufferers in Asia Minor.
The French consul at Beirut reports
that Mohammedans there looted sev

who were sent against the villages
joined in sacking the buildings.

Salonika to Foes
ATHENS, Nov. 7.—The Turks are
reported today’ to have evacuated
Salonika, leaving the city at the mercy
of the advancing Greek and Servian
armies.

miles of Salonika. The Turks fled east
ward in the direction of Constantino
ple along the southern border of the
Orient railway, burning all bridges be
hind them and tearing up the railroad
to prevent transporting soldiers.
An important victory was won by
Greeks at Pendingdaia Pass yesterday.
When day dawned this morning' the
Turks had withdrawn from their fort
ress, leaving many dead and wounded.
The Greeks had shelled the fort all
day, almost destroying it. The Greeks
are now in possession of the pass.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 7.—Aus

This action by Austria created great
surprise in view of the fact that a great
international fleet is gathering in Turk
ish waters to protect foreigners in the
event of a general massacre. It is be
lieved, however, that the withdrawal of
tlie ships is a part of the diplomatic
game Austria is playing.

President-Elect Wilson and Senator Hoke Smith caiighi b\ the camera in Atlanta, when the
Jersey man was making his pre-convention fight.
Marshal Marshmallows. Post
office Plums, and Collector
Candies Go to Faithful.
Hoch (pronounced “Hoke”) del’ pie
man!
United States Senator Smith, of Geor
gia, will direct the distribution of the
Federal patronage in Georgia under
President Woodrow Wilson.
Senator Smith early in the game saw
what was corning, and he got aboard
the Wilson band wagon.
It was a good old wagon, too even
though it did squeak and creak and
groan mightily' in the getaway .
At one time in Georgia it looked as
if Smith alone stood on the burning
deck—it takes some political adroitness
to stand on a burning deck and ride a
band wagon simultaneously’, but the
senator was equal to it —whence all but
Smith had fled!
Now the senator is coming inja> his
own. Which seems poetically just, any
way:
Cutting Will Be Fine.
And a fine, large, fat and juicy pie it.
is that Senator Smith will superintend
the cutting of.
It figures to be worth, in round num
bers, an even $245,000!
There are approximately 150 post
offices of presidential persuasion in
Georgia that are worth byway of sala
ries about $125,000.
The postmastership end of the pie,
therefore, is the most toothsome and
satisfying, of course.
Then there are a couple of United
States marshals. Nice little pickings
these—worth about SIO,OOO per annum.
Every little marshal has a bunch of
deputies all his own, too. Add another
SB,OOO or SIO,OOO here.
One collector of Internal revenue has
to worry along as best he may tVith a
measley income of $5,000. There are a
few willing patriots in Georgia, how
ever, ready to agree with Uncle Sain
that that will be all right.
And Atlanta Haa Port.
In Savannah, Brunswlcl anil other
points, port collectors must be filled.
Would you believe It, there is a col-
I lector of tlie port of Atlanta on the
1 l government pay roll ? Fine old port,
that of Atlanta, moreover. These port
jobs aggregate some $15,000 yearly.
Two Federal judgeships may be va
cated by retirement of the present hold
ers. Add another $15,000.
Two district attorneys, with their as
sistants—sls,ooo more.
Then there are, indirectly affected by
the party change in the presidency, cer
tain attaches of various sorts—assist
: ant postmasters, deputy revenue col
lectors, bankruptcy court officials and
public building custodians. These indi
rect items should easily run to $50,000
per annum—for there is quite a swarm
of minor officeholders under the Federal
government tn Georgia.
i Grand —-perfectly grand!—total. $245,-
I 00O!
Senator Smith, while sure to be Big
Chief Pie-cutter in Georgia, is not go
ing to be exclusive about it. however.
Will Forget Factions.
1 He is going to call in some other of
ficials to help him with tlie distribution,
1 for it is understood that President-to
be Wilson long ago told the senator, in
the event of Wilson’s election, that the
1 pie-cutting in Georgia must be on the
level, and that every reacher for slice
must have a square deal, regardless of
political factions within the state, and
unmindful of ancient enmities.
Just, because a pat, lot in Georgia lias
inclined in the past more to "Little Joe"
than to Hoke, or to Underwood than to
Wilson, Is to cut no ice in the pie
cutting.
Senator Smith has been informed, po
litely enough, that all Georgia Demo
crats. in this glee-o-rious day' of vic
tory, look alike to Woodrow Wilson.
And, it is understood, the senator has
agreed to that. He thinks there will be
glo-er-pie enough for all, as the case
, stands.
Congressmen will be consulted inva
’ riably in their respective districts, end
• their wishes and desires will go fa: in
the matter of selecting Georgia office
i holders.
Senator Bacon also will be in close
touch with his colleague, and his opin
ions will have much weight.
The pie-cutting is to be kept strict
ly within the family, and everything is
going to be good natured.
But the Honorable Hoke Smith will
. sit at-the head of the table, say grace
and wield the big carving knife!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Figk
hits on the national elecfionJ
which resulted in the annihilation!
of the Republican parly, as
vised today, showed the
ing results:
The popular vote —Wilson
191,866, Roosevelt 4,193,580, Taf#
3.536,529. Debs 795,000.
The electoral vote probably will be:
Wilson. 412; Roosevelt, 88: Taft, 12.
Doubtful. Illinois, 29.
Today’s returns, however, show
Minnesota and California are closer*
than at first believed, and Progres
sives claim the final figures will show
Roosevelt to have captured both,
states. In Illinois, Roosevelt still leads
slightly, out Wilson men claim the state
for the Princeton man by 1.500.
According to the present figures, the
states are divided as follows: Wilson,
40: Roosevelt, 5; Taft, 3.
House of representatives will be made
up of: Democrats, 296; Republicans,
125; Progressives, 14; Democratic ma
jority, 157.
Good Democratic
Senate Majority.
United States senate: Democrats, 5 4 ;
Republicans, 36; Progressives, 3;
doubtful. 3 (Illinois 2 and New Hamp
shire 1).
The next Illinois legislature will elect
successors to William Lorimer and
Shelby' McCullom. The Progressive*
will hold the balance of potver there.
The New Hampshire legislature was
still in doubt today.
Twenty-nine states elected govern
ors. The parties divided as follows:
Democrats. 18; Republicans. 9; Fu
sionist, 1; Republican and Progres
sive, I.
Senator Smith, of
Michigan, Loses
DETROIT. MICH., Nov. 7.-With many
outlying districts yet to be heard from. I
latest figures indicate that, while Roose
velt carried the state by' approximately
35,000, the entire Democratic state ticket
will be elected, with a few exceptions.
Woodbridge N. Ferris, Democrat, for.
governor has an estimated plurality of
15,006 over Amos Musselman, Republic-'
an, and L. Whitney Watkins. Progressive.
William Alden Smith probably will not'
be returned to the United States senate, i
a combination of Democrats and Pro- '
gresslves in the elgislature rendering hls»
re-election improbable.
At present the legislature, with many
districts not yet reported, but indicating
Democratic successes, is as follows:
Senate —Republican 13, Democrats 5,
Progressives 3, doubtful 11.
House - Republicans 31. Democrats 35,
Progressives 8. doubtful 35.
In Detroit, the Republican ticket was
successful, electing Oscar N. Marx may
or over William B. Thompson, Democrat,
and twenty-seven of the thirty-six aider
men, with other city officials.
California Gives
Wilson 7,500 Lead
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7. —With near
ly 1,70(1 precincts to be heard from,
Governor Wilson today was leading
Roosevelt by' 4,500 votes and gave in
dications that he will carry California
by a majority of 7,500. The Progres
sive leaders have not given up hope of
carrying the state. They point out that
the precincts to be heard from are re
garded as Roosevelt precincts. They
said that Roosevelt would more than
overcome the Wilson figures by gain
ing three and one-half votes a pre
cinct.
Should he carry California by the
estimated majority over Roosevelt of
7,500 votes. President-elect Wilson will
win the state over to the Democrats for
the fifth time in its history since the
raising of the Bear flag in 1846.
