Block Houses and Cannon Shield Turks. Trenches and redoubts with cannon mounted upon them lie between the fortresses and block houses for the protection of the Turkish infantry and cavalry. A stream of water runs through the t alley from the northeast to the south vest, cutting the bowl-shaped depres sion in half. Across this stream artillery thun- ■ cred night and day.

Labor Men Refuse to March With Soldiers MILITIA OUT OF PARADE MACON, GA., Nov. 12. —An invita tion to the Second Georgia l regiment to participate in the celebration of the Democratic victory in Macon tomor row night has been withdrawn by the committees in charge of the af fair because the labor union workmen refused to march in the same parade with the state militia. It has developed that the labor unions in Macon at least have proclaimed a tacit boycott against the military on account of the Augusta strike troubles. Planning to make the parade as long as possible, the chairman of the ar rangement committee asked the offi cers of the Hussars, Volunteers and I’ loyd Rifles of Macon to head the pa rade, and it was contemplated that companies from Forsyth, Griffin. Al bany and other towns should also be invited. At the same time an invita tion was extended to the labor union people; in fact, they were urged to take part. They at once signified their will ingness to co-operate in every way pos sible, provided the military were.not included. Invitation Withdrawn. After a conference with the militia officer, the committee on arrangements recalled the invitation to the national guardsmen and the program now pro vides that the labor union hosts shall take part in the parade to the exclusion of the military. The Democratic jubilee here tomor row night will, according to all indi cations, be a notable event. It is ex pected that William J. Bryan will stop over on his way to Miami Fla., and make a speech. Every home and store along the route designated for the CULT HOUSE RAIDED AT WOMAN’S STORY OF ABUSE BY CHIEF CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—-Sixteen persons, whites, negroes and Indians, were taken from the institue of psychology’ and mental training operated by Dr. L.

She ran breathlessly Into a police station last night and demanded the doctor's arrest. She said she had been in the house for several days, sub jected to indignities and abused. She was questioned and shortly afterward two patrol wagons were sent to the cult house, which is located in the midst of the millionaire residence section of Michigan avenue. Mrs. Murie refused to tell any one but the police of the things tiiat oc curred. She said, however, that the negroes formed the "Order of the Black Rose,” and that they were a special guard for Dr. Delawrence. Initiation into the order, she said, consisted* of being weighed in the "scale room” while the doctor looked on and the "Black Rose” members guarded .the door.

Formal Statement by Colonel Notes “Great Achievement” of New Party. / NEW YORK, Nov. 12—The first comment on the recent election by Colonel Roosevelt, one of the defeated candidates, was made in a formal state ment In which he says that the "battle has just begun.” the new party has come to stay, and that its achievement in the election is unparalleled. Colonel Roosevelt, in his statement, said: "I congratulate the Progressives of the country—that is, I congratulate those good men and women who, with sincerity of purpose for the common good, have had the vision to look into the coming years, and see what the future demands from us. "What the Progressive party has done since the theft of the Republican organization by the Republican bosses at Chicago last June, is literally un paralleled in the history of free gov ernment, worked under representative institutions. Opposed By Great Odd*. "Three months have gone by stnce the new Progressive party was founded. Without much money, without any or ganization, against the wealth of the country, against the entire organized political ability of the country, against the bitter hostility of 90 per cent of th* press of the country, against the furious opposition of every upholder of special privileges, whether In politics or in business. ar»d with the channels of in formation to the public largely choked —the Progressive party has polled be tween 4,000,000 and 4,500,000 votes; has hopelessly beaten one of the old par ties, both in the electoral college and In the popular vote; has taken second place In the nation and either first or second place in some 37 of the 48 states. "No task in any way approaching this has ever before been performed by any party in our country. Such a feat, performed by volunteers hastily brought together, and without any previous co operation with each other, against tho trained veterans of the political arena— these trained veterans including the entire mercenary forces of politics—• should be a source of pride, not only to those who performed the task, but to all believers in good citizenship and in the capacity of Americans for self government. “Party Here to Stay.” "During the campaign I said repeat edly that this was in no shape or way a one-man movement, but a movement tor great principles—a movement which has sprung, as all healthy movements in our democracy must spring, from the heart and conscience of the people themselves. This truth must be kept steadily before the minds of all of ui The Progressive party has come to stay. If either of the old parties will endeavor to put into legislation any one of our planks it can count upon our hearty support in so doing, but we will not rest contented until the entire platform is enacted into law and become* part of our political system, national and state. “I am proud, indeed, that the great good fortune has been mine to fight shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who. in the ranks and in various positions of leadership, have waged this great battle for social and industrial justice. So far from being over, the battle has Just begun. We will not rest content until every feature of the Pro gressive program has been put into ef fect, and when this has been done, un questionably there will have opened to us new avenues along which it will still be a duty to work for the moral and economic betterment of our people.
