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.

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 ■ mpb... were so ov neome by tin. gran- THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15 Part of a camp of more than 3.000 Turkish prisoners at Podgoritza.

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.

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. COLLEGE ART EXHIBIT.

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.
