These troops bore the brunt of the
fighting and upheld the confidence

the full shock of the Bulgarian attack
since the battle at Chatalja opened,
were ordered to the rear today. Fight
ing is continuous over the battle line
twenty miles long from Lake Derkos
on the east to Bojuk on the west. Ac
cording to the dispatches, "the battle
line lies along a wide valley parallel to
the outer line of Turkish works. There
is another series of forts known as the
inner works. The Bulgarians occupy
the northern side of the valley and the
Turks hold the plateau which rises on
the southern side.
Bulgarian artillery lies along the
heights on the northern edge and for
ever a week has tried by a smashing
bombardment to silence the guns in the
Turkish forts.
Block Houses and
Cannon Shield Turks.
Trenches and redoubts with cannon
mounted upon them lie between the
fortresses an 4 block houses for the
protection of the Turkish infantry and
cavalry.
A stream of water runs through the
valley from tho northeast to the south
west. cutting the bowl-shaped depres
sion in half.
Across this stream artillery thun
dered night and day. Immediately on
occupying the heights north of the
Turkish defenses the Bulgarians threw
up earthworks for the protection of the
soldiers and the camp was placed sev
eral miles in the rear to be out of
range of the projectiles. With a view
to protecting the wings, heavy bodies
of Infantry were massed on the two
Bulgarian wings at Derkos and Bojuk.

•
iest Methods of Financing
Needy Planters and Selling
Crops Discussed Today. .
The seventeenth annual convention
of the American Association of Farm
ers Institute Workers will come to an
j end tonight, though it was expected to
I continue through Wednesday. The
work to be done was dispatched with
such rapidity that all was finished at 3
o’clock this afternoon. Most of the
delegates will remain over for the con
vention of the Association of American
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
Stations, which begins tomorrow.
Today’s session of the Institute work
ers was the most Interesting of all,
many experts discussing the best prac
tical methods of financing needy farm
ers before the crops are produced and
the most profitable ways to sell crops
after they are gathered.
G. A. Gigault, of Quebec, Canada, re
viewed the work of co-operative asso
ciations In Europe and America and
then urged co-operation in so grading
objects of agricultural value that they
may be standardized. He showed the
difficulties to be overcome, but de
clared that the great convenience in
selection of goods would bring many
thousands, of dollars to the farmers.
H. C. Price, of Columbus, Ohio,
showed that while the agricultural pro
duction of this country is the best the
form of the credit Is the worst. He
told of nis investigation of Germany’s
system and recommended that America
adopt one similar. J. Aldus Herr and
John Hamilton also spoke on this sub
ject.
Women in Farm Work.
At the meeting Monday afternoon
speeches were made on the relation of
the institute to the active workers on
the farms, and Mrs. Elvian Cross, of
Nebraska, spoke on the w ork to be done
by women workers of the institutes
with the wives of farmers.
Franklin Dye, of Trenton, N. J., pres. '
ident of the association, opened the
program by delivering tho address of
welcome to all the visiting delegates.
He declared that not only were the in
stitutes a tremendous uplifting force
for the agricultural workers of the na
tion, but that they were also of Im
mense practical value in that they
taught the greatest possible yield from
the possible acreage. He urged
the workers of the institutes to devote
their efforts to getting the farmers to
maintain a keener Interest in the In
stitute work.
The varied phases of institute work
in the many communities of t,he United
States were discussed by Charles M.
Curtis, of Missouri.
This afternoon the convention will
be visited by a number of the leading
weather authorities of the country,
headed by Willis L. Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau, who will
speak of tIA relations existing between
institutes and the bureau.

'MACON, GA., Nov. 12.—An invita
tion to the Second Georgia 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 tho ar
rangement committee asked the offi
(cers of tho Hussars, Volunteers and
Floyd 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

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 bj’ 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 Odds.
“Three months have gone by since
the new Progressive party was founded.
Without much money, without any or -
ganization, against the wealth of tlie
country, against the entire organized
political ability of the country, against
the bitter hostility of 80 per cent of the
press of the country, against the furious
opposition of every upholder of special
privileges, whether In politics or in
business, and 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 the
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
"During the campaign I said repeat
edly that this was in no shape or way a
one-man movement, but a movement
for 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 Jll of us.
The Progressive party has come to stay.
If either of the old parties will endeavor
to put Into legislation any one of ou"
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 lias been mine to fight
I 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.

Dear Doctor:
It gives me great pleasure to say
that the glasses fitted by you to my
eyes are most satisfactory.
I had little hopes when I went to
you, of getting glasses that would
give me relief as well as good vision,
as I have spent so much with the
leading oculists of this and other cit

couraged.
Your glasses have given me the
