M TURKS 110 IN DEFENSE OF ml Sixty Thousand Fresh Troops Force Victorious Bulgarians Back From City’s Gates. BUCHAREST, ROUMANIA, Nov. 12. Sixty thousand fresh Turkish troops flung against the Bulgarians attacking ,-, e chatalja defenses have won a great torx for the Crescent, according to Xvices received here today. The latest of these advices, which , ne byway of Kustendje from Con stantinople, stated that the greatest lt ’e ~f modern times is being fought along the Chatalja defenses. Tlie Turkish reinforcements, who arrived from Asia Minor, were rushed to the firing line by Nazim Pasha, the Turkish minister of war. immediately upon their arrival in the Ottoman cap ital. These troops bore the brunt of the fighting and upheld the confidence which their commander imposed in them. They were much better equipped ■han tiie soldiers who have been upon the firing line and showed dashing i-ourag throughout the engagement. Wearied Fighters Sent to Bear. The remaining soldiers of the grand army of Thrace, beaten back from Adrianople, who have been receiving 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 tte 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 over 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 counted upon them lie between the fortresses and block houses for the protection of the Turkish infantry and cavalry. A stream of w’ater runs through the valley from the northeast to the south vest, 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. lhe heaviest artillery was concentrated in the center. Thus the lines have re mained throughout the long' engage ment. Adrianople’s Fall Hourly Expected BULGARIAN ARMY HEADQUAR TERS, STARA ZAGORA.

Most of the I 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 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- I viewed the work of co-operative asso- I ciations in Europe and America and I then urged co-operation in so grading i 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 his 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 work 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 the 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 smallest 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 the 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 j speak of the relations existing between | institutes and the bureau.

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 ua. “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 QreaS Odds. "Three months have gone by since the new Progressive party was ftoundec Without much money, without any or ganization, against the wealth of the country, against the entire organised political ability of the country, against the bitter hostility of »0 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 chsmnels 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 41 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 tl.e 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 i lor great principles—a movement which has sprung, as all healthy movements in our democracy must spring, from the lieart and conscience of the people themselves. This truth must be kept steadily before the minds of all of us. 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 becomes part of our political system, national and state. ”1 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 ever}' feature of the Pro ?;resslve program has been put Into ef ect, 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 in oral and economic betterment of our people.
