CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7 —Muti ny has broken out in the Turkish army 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 been found in hiding, having disap peared when the troops left for the front. Au army of 25,000 Kurds is marching on Constantinople, and it is feared they will attack the city. Priest Makes Moslems to Rise. 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 eral monasteries. Tire Turkish soldiers who were sent against the villages joined in sacking the buildings.

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 When day dawned this morning' the Turks had withdrawn from their fort ress, leaving many dead and wounded.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. z\ustrian Warships Leave Bosphorus CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 7.—Aus tria recalled her two warships from the Bosphorus today and they immediately sailed for foreign ports. 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.

Alabama Officials Wire Congratulations MONTGOMERY, ALA., Nov. 7—A tele gram was sent by' state officials of Ala bama yesterday to Governor Wilson, con gratulating him upon his signal victory. “Your election means the vindication of Democratic Ideals and the supremacy of l>atrtotlc governmental principles." said the message “After many years of Republican mis rule your administration means that the individual hope, energy and ambition of even the humbteat citizens may achieve fruition In success, happiness and pros perity ’ WILSON’S VICTORY GROWS; DEMOCRATS RULE SENATE Poverished Patriots Prepare for Famous Feast HOKE DER $245,000 PIEMAN — T \ \ ft' Jr- ; vil I jjOil X \ -// i V XX.

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!

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.

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.

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. Keystone Socialist Votes Went to T. R.
