Sept. 34, "I.a Force Noire." the "IJIack Army of France," as the Turcos now fighting with the Allies are called, was organized by Colonel Jtaugln In 1011. The Turcos are Arabian light Infantry recruited In Alegrln. The force In 1007 consisted of only about fX0 Senegalese. Colonel Mall gain raised the number to 60.000 soldiers recruited from Sonegal, In tho Soudan, from French Oulnea, Dahomey, Algeria, Tunis and Morocco. Tho supply of men from this source Is almost Inexhaustible, and furthermore, this source of supply Is out of enemy's reach. It Is declared that so long as only one French port remained 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 one can achlcc. As a result they are relentless In the fury noo thai u Ij wilt l .(, elrij u p .1 private fortune, are entirely German Practically all the money Is Invested In ficrmnny. Reports that he was to ab dicate have been widely circulated and there Is a strong belief hero that If the War Office carries the day he will with draw from Rumania. The great obstacle to a united Balkan confederacy a.alnst Germany and Austria has been Bulgaria. The latter has been Inclined to sympathize- with Germany. Her armies have had the assistance of German military experts. The German diplomatic methods have nvdo n fivorable Impres sion. And Germany had confidently ex pected that Bulgaria would sld- with Turkey and In her favor If It became necessary. Tin Czar was quick to realize this fact. He rushed confidential agents to Bulgaria and they at first pleaded for the absolute neutrality of Bulgaria. Then the Czar cent a personal appeal to Prince Boris, who is his godson, and tho latter has ever since thrown his influence on th" side of Russia. It Is now believed that when war comes Bu'garia will be lined up on the side of the Allies. It has been pointed out to Italy that If she entered the war and brought In the Balkan principalities as her allies, her every future demand must have recog nition. Russia has. It is understood here, suggested to Bulgaria that If Turkey enters the war on the side of Germany the prize for Bulgaria If she sides with I France were recruited mainly from They never surrender. Their wonderful physique and almost total Impervlousness to pain keep them fighting on after they have received wounds under which fight ers of white races succumb. Colonel Maugln once said of these sol diers: "His sense of discipline, his devo tion to his white ofllcers and the fierce ness with which he hurls himself at the enemy are wonderful " General I.anglols. writing in the Temps In lftV, when the raising of the present Algerian force was being discussed said. "Tho sanguine and fatalistic temper of the troops of these races makes It a ter rible asset in a shock." In an article In Gaulois General Bonnel said: "On the wide battlefields of any future war the Arabs, traineil by Cau casians and armed with the terrible weapons of war of the white races, will prove unrivaled when the final blow will have to be devoted to the enemy." With the troops organized and equipped in her African possessions the republic holds and rules a territory as extensive as Europe inhabited by 31,'XiO.OOO 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 employed African troops and they were used also in the storming of Malokhoff . Algeria also was drawn on for fighting men during the Franco-German war of 1ST0. The early troops raised In Africa by the Itussia, will be Adrlanonle It is recognized that Turkey cannot much longer maintain neutrality The relntlons between Turkey and Greece are very strained Constant frlctron is le ported, with numerous acts of aggression on the part of the Turks. Therefore the necessity of keeping the Balkan states lined up together I' fully realized. The constant asltation of the Italian people for action (igainst Austria is hav ing Its effect The higher government of ficials are now confident Italy must act to maintain her position as the dominant power of the Mediterranean and that sirs must take Austria's Adriatic possssions by the force of her own might If she Is to bo n real factor in deciding on the lines for the new map of Europe. The Rumanian field army Is made up of five army corps of two divisions each and two divisions of cavalry. A regular division is made up of two brigades each and the total field army Is about IS0.000 men. There Is a second line made up of arpioxlmately usn.() additional men. The Infantry Is armed with Minnlieeher magazine rifles of a late type. The horse and flold batteries are equipped with Krupp guns of the latest type. Kabyles and Arabs. The majority of those which came from the Kabyles were a tribe called the Znuovues, who gave their name to the Zouaves. The three regiments of Algerian tirailleurs who fought in the Franco-German war lost 97 ofllcers and 2S3 men.

Sept 21 Ward Price, special correspondent' of the Sun and the London Dally Mall, in n dispatch today from Rheims, says an English member of a champagne firm expelled 100 refugees from the cellars, thus preventing an almost certain epi demic. "Imagine," he says, "evw people of all ages, of tioth sexes, with nothing but a blanket or two for covering, living for a whole ueek, night and day, In empty underground cellars intended merely for the storing of champagne and ventilated naturally only sufficiently for that purpose, entirely without sanitary accommodation. ' Conditions down there were fright ful." said my English ucrpminance. "There was another cellar below the one into which I went and there were more people there They wanted me to go down and speak to them, but I wouldn't They gathered around me as I went In. but 1 made them all go over to one side and ir.ude them a little speech. " 'However, they wouldn't budge, so I went to see the General. He was a little doubtful about It being safe for them to come out The bread lines had been broken up In the morning and the people sent home because shells had be gun to fall In the streets again. " ' "If you don't ilear them out of those cellars at once. General " I sjld.

"It Is, however, much to be feared that there may be possibly some merchants and people who have not yet been fully Informed of the actual facts of the situa tion, and it la not unlikely that there may be some bad characters, who, taking ad vantage of this critical time, will circulate rumors with a view to creating panic In the minds of the public and thereb create disturbances. We have. therefore, oi tiered the police and soldiers to exer cise the utmost surveillance over these bad characters. "The public is hereby once more admon ished that it should peacefully pursue its da ilv occupations and not listen to un founded rumors.

Tho German force at Puers If reported to have two of the great siege guns that smashed the forts at Liege, nnd Nnmur, (Puers Is about eight miles from the forts that protect Antwerp on the south west. This report tends to confirm dispatches from Ostcnd that the Ger mans wero advancing guns to bombard Antwerp. During tho last week the Belgian army has received reinforcements. The 'spirit of the troops is excellent and they are greatly encouraged by the successes gained during tho lest few days In sharp skirmishes with tho Germans. The German forces bent upon subju gating Antwerp have their line extend ing westward almost Into Ghent. Tholr artillery Is hard at work on tho south bank of tho Scheldt, seven miles from the city. Railway service has been sus pended south of Ghent. Antwerp ap pears to be menaced more seriously than ever. The Inhabitants, however, have not censed to hopo that tho city will escape a direct attack. At Ghent, It Is Impossible, because of the meagre reports received, to deter mine the progress of events across the French frontier. It Is conceded, how ever, that whatever may happen to the German armies In the southwest It Is certain that tho Kaiser's forces mean to conquer Antwerp and to remain In occupation of southern Belgium, re gardless of, what price they may be compelled to pay In lives. A correspondent of the London Chron icle, who Is with the Belgium army In tho field, wires that the Belgian army Is pushing on toward Brussels and Is confident of regaining control of tho city.

Another Ghent dispatch to the Chronicle quotes a newspaper as saying that HI Inhabitants of the small Belglnn town of Tamlnts, In tho Namur district, have been killed, presumably on account oft some act against the Germans occupying the district. The dead Include the priest and the local notables. After whole sale execution, says the dispatch, the torch was applied so effectually that only one house remains standing In the district.

Sept. 24, Tho Admiralty OITlce has Issued a re ply to the statement of tho German Min ister at Copenhagen, alleging that tho English fired on German swimmers fol lowing the naval battlo near Heligoland. Tho Admiralty states that when tl,9 German torpedo boat destroyer V-187 was sinking, tho Goshawk ordered the British destroyers to coaso their flro and lower tholr boats to save tho survivors. While this was being done nn officer on tho afterpart of the X-187 trained Its after gun on tho Goshawk and fired nt 100 yards range, hitting the ward room. It Is though that he bolleved the boat's crew Intended to board and cap ture his vessel, which was stilt flying her colors. It thereupon became necessary to de stroy his aftergun, which was done -i.u a few woll-placed shots, after which every effort was made to save his Hf until the German cruiser Stettin an pcared through the mist and opened a heavy fire on the British boats. Tin destroyers were forced to retire to avoid destruction. The Goshawk removed her men from the boat, leaving It to ths German prisoners, nearly all of whom were wounded. "It is to be regretted," says tho note, "that a bluejacket In the forecastle of tho Goshawk, exasperated at tho Inhuman conduct of the Gorman cruiser, threw a projectile, which could not possibly havs exploded under the circumstances. Into the boat as It drifted past the ship, "This Is doubtless the incident loferred to be the German Minister at Copen hagen, and It cannot be defended, al though It was dono under considerable provocation.
