The Kteat obstacle to a united Balkan confederacy against German) and Austria has been Bulgaiia The latter has been Inclined to sympathize with Germany.

The Turcos me Arabian light Infantry reciultcd In Alegrln. Tho fotce In 1W7 consisted of only nbout !W) Senegalese Colonel Mau Kiiln raised the number to GO.OOO soldiers rnruitcd from Soncmvl In the Soudan, from French Guinea, Dahomey. Algeria, Tunis and Morocco Tho supply of men from this source is nllnost Inexhaustible, and furtheimoro, this source of supply Is out of enemy's tench. It Is deilarcd that so long as only ono French port remnlned In French hands these terrible African fighters could be poured In streams Into France The soldiers of these districts are born fighters. Death In battle Is, to them, the highest distinction ono can nchleo As a result they nre relentless in the fury of their nttacks and absolutely fearless They never surrender Their wonderful physique and almost total Imperviousness to pain keep them fighting on after they have rcceled wounds under which fight ers of white i aces succumb. Colonel Maugln once said of these sol diers: "His sense of discipline, his devo tion to his white officers and the fierce ness with which he hurls hlmkelf at the enemy are wonderful" General l.anglols, writing In the Temps In lPi'J, when the raising of the present Algerian force was being discussed said "The sanguine and fatalistic temper of the troops of these races makes it a ter rible asset In a shock." In an article In Gaulols General Bonnel said. "On the wide battlefields of any future war the Arubs trained bv Cau casians and armed with the terrible weapons of war of tho white races, will prove unrivaled when tho final blow will have to be devoted to the enemv." Vlth the troops organized and equipped In her African possessions the republic holds and rules a territory as extensive ns Europe inhabited b 3,i"0 000 people. The use of Arabs In European warfare by the republic during the present con flict is not the first time this has been done Napoleon emploved African troops nnd they were used also In the storming of Mnlakhoff Algeria also was drawn on for fighting men during the Franco-German war of 1S70. The early troops raised In Africa by Trance were recruited mainly from the Kabyles and Arabs. The majority of those which came from the Kabyles were a tribe called the Zouovues, who gae their name to the Zouaves The three regiments of Algerian tirailleurs who fought in the Franco-German war lost i" officers and 23S0 men HEARS GERMAN GUNS CAN SHOOT ACROSS CHANNEL Would Cover Naval Attack on Eng lish Coast, Stockholm Says. STOCKHOLM, Sept, 24 The belief exists here that Germany has a card up her sleeve In her navy, not unlike tho -12 centimeter (almost 1T lnchl guns which havo been so destructive against fortifications In Belgium and France, What this contrivance for sea service may be Is not known, but well Informed people say they have Informa tion of the existence of a number of mvsterlous craft not described in detail, but classed as part of the German navy An attempted Invasion of Great Britain confidently Is expected The plan of Ger many teems to be the seizure of the French side of the English Channel, where big 17-Inch guns with a 20-mlie range would cover the German fleet, and it in turn would protect the transports cairylng troops across the channel, which at I'alals-Dover Is only 20 miles wide. Against German land batteries of such calibre the British fleet would be power less. Norway and Sweden are In an extremely difficult position They hate Russia and havo been promised by Germany the In dependence of Finland In case of Ger many's success They fear a Russian victory and further aggressions by that nation on Scandinavian soli it must be rememberel. however, that Great Britain is the best customer of Scandinavia.

Itallway service lias been sus pended south of Ghent. Antwerp np pears to bo menaced more seriously than ever. Tho Inhabitants, however, have not ceased to hope that the city will escape a direct attack. At Ghent, It Is Impossible, because of tho meagre reports received, to deter mine the progress of events across the rtench frontier. It Is conceded, how ever, that whatever may happen to tho German armies In the southwest It Is certain that the Kaiser's forces mean to conquer Antwerp nnd to remain In occupation of southern Belgium, re gardless of what prlco they may be compelled to pay In lives. A correspondent of tho London Chron icle, who Is with tho Belgium army in tho field, wires that tho Belgian army Is pushing on toward Brussels nnd Is confident of regaining control of the city No stntcment Is made of the de tailed movements of the Belgians.

LONDON, Sept, U, Tho Admiralty Office has Issued a re ply to the Btatement of the Gorman Min ister at Copenhngen, alleging that the English fired on Gorman Bwlmmcrs fol lowing the naval battlo near Heligoland. The Admiralty states that when the German torpedo boat destroyer V-187 wns sinking, tho Goshawk ordered the British destroyerB to cease their fire- and lower their boats to save (the survivors. Whllo this wa being done an ofllctr on tho afterpart of tho X-187 trained Its after gun on the Goshawk and tired nt 200 yards Trange, hitting the ward room. It Is though thnt he believed the boat's crew Intended to board and cap. turo his vessel, which was still iivI hor colors. It thoroupon became necessary to d Btroy his nftorgun, which was done with a few woll-placed shots, after which every effort was made to savo his )ir9 until tho German cruiser Stettin an. pcared through the mlat and opened a heavy fire on the Hrltleh boats. Tho destroyers were forced to retire to avoid destruction. Tho Goshawk removed her men from tho boat, leaving it to ths German prisoners, nearly all of whom were wounded. "It Is to bo regretted," says the note "that a bluejackot In tho forecastle of tho Goshawk, exasperated at the Inhuman conduct of the German cruiser, threw a projectile, which could not possibly hrt) exploded under tho circumstances, l.i a tho boat ns It drifted past tho ship. "This is doubtless tho lncldont rcferrfd to be the German Minister at Copen hngon, and It cannot be defended, a. though It was dono under conslderabla provocation It was surely a venial ortense, compared with that of the Qer mnn cruiser, which fired many shells at tho boats of the British destroyers which wore engaged In a humane and chlvalroui action."
