1 cssion of the territories occupied by
■ e troops of the allies, the internal
(lonization of Constantinople, free
--ng,- of tn.- Dardanelles. Salonika to
lea free port, and a war indemnity.
Plan To Enter Capital.
As Turkey’s proposals include only
suspension of fighting in the extreme
■southeastern part of the Balkan penin
sula, Czar Ferdinand’s advisers are
uixious that a situation be brought
’bout there that will enable the bulk of
3ulgarlan forces to be used elsewhere
n the Balkans.
The officers of the Bulgarian staff are
anxious that their campaign shall be
crowned by entry into Constantinople,
unless such entry be encompassed by
iangers of pestilence.
It is understood that Turkey made
wo proposals for an armistice, which
ndlcates the serious situation con
i’anting the defenders of the Ottoman
capital. One application was made di
rect to General Savoff, commanding
‘he Bulgarian army before the Chatalja
fortifications.
The Bulgarian generals are taking no
chances against a failure of the nego
tiations, and the movement of troops
nd heavy siege artillery is being push
’d to the front. This work, however, is

Prince .Mirko of Bulgaria, a
leader in the war against the
Turks.
Invading Moslems Conquered
in Europe After Centuries of
Reign in Blood.
Constantinople, the capital of Tur
key, which the Bulgars have been be
sieging. is built on the site of Bysan
tium, that, ancient metropolis of the
Dorian Greeks, which was founded by
them during the sixth century before
Christ. It became at once a typical
city of the highest Greek civilization in
the beauty of its architecture and its
streets. In addition it rose to the su
preme commercial power of the Hel
lenic world because of its advantageous
position. Even now there may be seen
in Stambou), that portion of Constanti
nople which was the actual site of the
ancient Greek city, remains of walls
and other works of masonry built by
the Greeks.
From the very beginning Byzantium
was coveted by every race and nation
within striking distance, and the city
was constantly hard pressed. After
centuries of desperate lighting to main
tain its independence, Byzantium finally
fell into the hands of Severus. But
this conqueror and his descendants
ruled the city in a wretched manner.
Civic pride languished, the government
rapidly grew from bad to worse, and
finally, in the year 324 A. D., the city
surrendered to Constantine, the first
Christian Roman emperor.
Captivated by the city and its beau
tiful surroundings, Constantine at once
adopted it as his capital, giving it the
name of New Rome, and dedicating it
"to the service of Christ.”
But the world at large had chris
tened the city in honor of its con
queror, and it has borne that name
ever since.
Laid Out Great City.
It was Constantine’s ambition to be
known as the founder of the city. And
to that end he instituted elaborate cer
emonials. Marching at the head of a
vast procession, he walked over the
hills, which were then the environs of
the city, marked the boundaries, and
laid an elaborate foundation for future
growth.
Then he set great armies of men to
work, building and beautifying the city.
He spent vast sums of money in erect
ing palaces, churches, aqueducts and
theaters.
The most notable church he built
was San Sofia. But this church was
burned. It was rebuilt later by Theo
dosius. and was again destroyed. Then
Justinian, on the same site, built a
temple which was a far more splendid
edifice than the other two.
This is the famous San Sofia which
stands today. But there have been so
many additions built onto it that the
original outlines of the temple are en
tirely lost.
San Sofia was sixteen years in build
ing. and its dedication lasted fourteen
days, beginning on Christmas day, 548.
All nations had contributed to its
costly and magnificent investiture. The
rarest jewels, marbles, mosaics, metals
and ivories—in fact, all the rarest
treasures possessed by all the nations —
were used for the adornment of San
Sofia.
Grandeur United Crusaders.
It was here that all the great events
in the lives of the Christian emperors
were celebrated, and it is said that the
Crusaders, whenever they met in this

deur of their surroundings, they would
lay aside their differences and go forth
in harmony and good will.
Here also were stored many of the
precious volumes which kept alive the
flickering light of learning throughout
the medieval period of mental dark
ness, and which finally burst out into
an intellectual awakening known as the
Renaissance.
For centuries Constantinople retained
her supremacy in the commercial
world. But as she grew in wealth and
splendor, fetes and festivals like those
of the old barbaric Romans became the
order of the day. The city succumbed
to the sway of its voluptuaries. In the
meantime it was being constantly be
set by its enemies, the Saracens and
the Bulgars. About this time, the lat
ter part of the tenth century, the Turk
began to cast his sinister shadow across
the Bosphorus. He had been gradually
stealing in from the East, from be
yond the Caspian and the plains of
Khorassan.
He had established himself in Asia
Minor with the long spear and the
scimitar. His soul object was the let
ting of Christian blood. This purpose
took precedence with him over every
consideration of government, law and
domestic economy.
The Turks had secured possession of
all the territory adjacent to Constan
tinople. They had destroyed the city of
Ephesus and wiped the Byzantium em
pire off the map. Then they began to
levy tribute on Constantinople.
Girl First Concession.
The first concession the cross made
to the crescent was in 134", when the
emperor gave his daughter tn marriage
to Orchan, son of Othman, the founder
of the present Turkish dynasty. Then
the Turkish outrages in Constantinople
began. Orchan sold his Christian slaves
in the streets of the city, exposing them
naked iir the market place.
While it was apparent to the Turk
at this time that he, could take Con
stantinople any time he desired, for
some reason he withheld his hand until
1453, when Mohammed II began his his
toric siege, which ended in the capitu
lation of the city to the Turks and ush
ered in four centuries of unspeakable
outrage.
The Turkish hordes swept into the
c|ty on April 2, 1453. ravenous for the
spoils which had been promised them
by their leaders. Around the temple of
San Sofia 20,0D0 Christians stood, pal
sied with fear and praying for some
miracle to deliver them from the terri
ble maniacs who had been hammering
at their gates. These Christians were
divided aong the soldiers. Men, women
and children were thrust into a bondage
a thousand times worse than death.
The cross was torn from the golden
I minerets of the temple and the crescent
i erected in Its place. The palaces and
temples wee stripped of their jewels
' and wealth and divided among the
■ avid Musselmans.
Constantine’s Body Mutilated.
The body of Constantine was found
, and at the cornamnd of Mohammed the
. head was severed from the trunk and
sent to different cities of the Turkish
empire as evidence that Allah had tri-
■ umphed and the cross was in the dust.
The head was then stuffed with straw
. and placed at the sot of a bronze eques
, trian statue in a public square.
The army was allowed to debauch
itself for three days. Then Mohammed
set to work to restore order. He ob
literated every mark of the Christian
occupancy. While he allowed the
Christians to remain in the city, they
were not permitted to carry arms, to
hold any public office or to testify In
court. Then was organized the famous
, corps of janissaries, made up of sons
of Christian parents, who had been
taken at the age of eight and trained to
this military service. Enter only the
sons of European Christians were used
for this purpose. This practice contin
ued for over 200 years.
Tile growth of the Ottoman empire
in Europe reached its highest point un
, der Suleiman the Magnificent. This
emperor tiircait ned to become tho
, dominant rulei in Europe. He made
thliteen successful conquests, at one
time reaching the very gates of Vienna.
While the 'lurks occupied Hungary at
this time it was the Bulgars, who stood
between them and the Christian coun
tries or Euro;.:.-.
Constantinople has been titled by 23
sultans. Some of them were highly
enlightened, judged by Turkish stand
ards. But for the most part they were
men who typified the race—cruel, sen
suous, vengeful, unscrupulous.
The tide against th;- Turks began to
set In during the . nd of the seventeenth
century. At this time they were being
uprooted, from the positions they had
taken up in western Europe and driven
back upon the Bosphorus.
Luring the early years of the nine
teenth century Turkej lost its hold on
RoumaniH and several small-’ states,
including Greece and Servia.
Then Russia wanted to set herself
up as the protector of the Christian
people In the Ottoman empire. Th ■
Turks refused this. Then came the
Crimean war, in which Russia was de
feated by th- Turks and their allies,
England and France.
The subsequent atrocities in Bul
garia and Armenia are too leient to be
dwelt upon here. The Turks kept up
their riot of blood until the little Bal
kan states, unable to endure longer th”
horrors of Mohammedan oppression,
made common cause again.'" the Porte
and hurled themselves like an irre
sistible thunderbolt against the Cres
cent, accomplishing in a few weeks
what the great Christian powers had
in ■it unable >r unwilling tv do in four
RESTLESSNESS
LIFE OWTIME
London Conductor Analyzes
Essence of This Peculiar
Treatment of Melody.
LONDON, Nov. 15.—Herbert God
frey, who is widely known as conductor
at the Crystal Palace, has written the
following interesting letter on rag-time
music:
Sir —With all deference to Mr. Gene
Green and others who have demon
strafed the mysteries of rag-time mu
sic. they have not by any means made
it clear what is the peculiar essence of
this treatment of melody.
The expression ‘rag-time’’ Is gener
ally described as "synoeopated time,”
and this is no doubt true; but though
all rag-time is synoeopated—i, e., the
short note preceding the long one in
such away as to throw the melody off
the beat- not all syncopated music is
in rag-time.
The essence of rag-time consists in
anticipating the chief notes of a melo
dy to tile extent of one-eighth (usually,
in slow “rags," a fourth) of the value
of a bar.
If this chief note occurs on the sec
ond beat of tlie bar (or would be ex
pected there normally), this anticipa
tion results in rt "tie” in the middle of
the bar. If on the first beat of the bar.
then the "tie” joins the last note of the
bar to the first note of the next bar.
In either ease it deprives the tune of
a fresh note on the accented or "beat”
portion of the bar, and makes It, till
one gets a bit used to rag-times, most
difficult to read.
It is not enough merely to syncopate
the tune. Rag-time will tolerate no
waits on "full-beat” notes. Its essence
is restlessness. It is easy to recognize
how necessary rag-time music is to the
extraordinary development of Ameri
can sand-dancing in late tears, which
is really what Inis brought it into ex
istence. HERBERT GODFREY.

DOUBLE CROSS IS
ILLmMII
The Anti-Tuberculosis Crusade'
Badge Now Being Worn in
All Civilized Lands.
■\Vhat’> the origin of these little red
crosses all the children and many of
the grown-ups are wearing?” is a ques
tion hundreds-of persons are asking.
There ar.' few who are not familiar
with the fact that the dguble red cross
itself signifies enlistment in the cru
sade -against tuberculosis, but what
they do not know is how it happened
to be chosen.
The double red cross is similar in
shape to a cross used frequently In the
Greek church, and is also like the Lor
raine cross of France. It was first
suggested as the symbol of the Inter
national Anti-Tuberculosis association
at a meeting held in Berlin in October,
1902, by Dr. G. Sersiron, of Paris, as
sociate secretary of tlie French asso
ciation. The meeting promptly adopt
ed the suggestion and took steps at
once to secure official recognition and
prof l etion for the double red cross from
the governments of Europe.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
in the United States adopted the pro
portions of nine for the length of tho
cross, to five for the width of the arms,
ami has now used the symbol in this
country for more than four years.
When rhe double red cross was first
adopted there were not more than a
half dozen associations for the preven
tion of tuberculosis, organized on a
wide basis In the United States. Today
such associations have been formed in
practically every civilized country in
tlie world. Even t'hina is beginning to
'akc action along this line, while active
associations are at work in Turkey. In
dia. Japan, lite Philippines, South Africa
and Iceland. There are 420 local or
ganizations in the United States.

MILK WATEREHS
| PUNISHED OF OLD
Penalties, Too, For Adulterat
ing Butter and Selling Eggs
of Ancient Vintage.
PARIS, Nov, 15.—The milkman who
waters his milk and the grocer who
adulterates his butter are not, after all,
the products of modern civilization and
the culture of the board school. These
gentlemen. It appears, have an ancestry
of a. respectable antiquity. An anti
quary has discovered in the archives of
Puy-de-Dome an edict in which the ,
punishments assigned to the various
forms of fraud fit the crime with a
Gilbertlan completeness. Thus, "Who
soever shall have sold watered milk, in
his mouth shall be set a tube, and into
the said tube shall be poured the wa
tered milk till the doctor or barber there
present shall assert tha the culprit can
not swallow more without being put in
danger of his days. Whosoever siia.ll
have sold butter containing turnips,
stones or any other foreign substance
shall be seized and attached in a very
curious manner to our pillory of Pon
tet.
“Then the said butter shall be placed
on his head till the sun shall have
melted It completely; and In the mean
time the children and meaner folk of
the village shall insult him with such
outrageous epithets as shall please them
—subject to the respect of God and his
majesty. Whosoever shall have sold
evil or rotten eggs shall be seized by
the body and exposed In our pillory of
Pontet. The said eggs shall be given
to the children of the villages, who
shall byway of joyful diversion throw
them in the face of the culprit, so that
all may be full of merriment and laugh
ter.”
What a red letter day it must have
been for the children when a large con
signment was seized and there was
enough ripe eggs to go around! Jus
tice had a humorous way with It In
those good old days.
