! ?? WAR IN BALKIN NOW | HANGING IN BALANCE! GREAT BKITAIVS HESITATION HALTS 1NTERVESTIO.Y Other .Powers Are Heady?Every Hour's Delay Increases Danger of Speedy Hostilities. Paris, Oct. 6.?War or peace between j ? * 'it-- T>~ 11 O?^ ,*C! thp i Turivey ana uie oaihau O lex lea ic xix v | balance. If anything it mig'*t be said that the scales swung slightly today; ! against peace in the sense that every 4. hour's delay in the powers intervention increases the danger of hostilities. The word now rests with Great Britain. All the other powers accept-' [ ed with some modifications the French premiers plan for intervention, but it j is understood here-Great Britain hesi-j tates in going so far as to assume with the other powers responsibility for, gaining from Turkey broad reforms in Macedonia. Great Britain's procrastination is causing uneasiness' and j some criticism in Paris. Such papers i - a? The Temps assert they can not un- j t'er^tand Great Britain's lack of sym-j pathy in the needed Turkish reforms,' when in 1ST6 that country rose up in j a body against the so-called Bulgarian | atrocities of that ^year. Even with j . England's support and this is expected j to come tomorrow, the crisis is not re- | , moved. The great question remains j as to whether the powers can obtain j extensive enough reforms from Turkey j to satisfy the militant Balkan States, i Austria has given adhesion to the I plan formulated by the French and i Russian foreign ministers to deal with the Balkan situation. Austria, however, suggested a slight change in the j wording of the proposals, which metj with the immediate approval of both! M. Poincaire and M. Sasoneff. The on* | ly effect of the amendment is more! sharply to define the intentions of the i I powers. I It is understood the proposals do J not include a demand for autonomy of Macedonia, but urge the adoption of the provisions of article 23 of the treaty of Berlin, providing for a larger measure of home rule. It is believed] here the proposals as outlined will removes any lurking suspicions in England that the continental powers possibly were contemplating a settlement 1 wholly at the expense of Turkey. Germany and Italy have approved their ally's modifications; so that with; full adhesion of the British govern-1 ment which is confidently expected un-1 der this arrangement, it is believed i the Balkan states will no longer have j ? to depend on the promises of Turkey but can rely on the pledged word of '? Europe. With peace on the point of being signed witn Italy, tne martial spirit t?i Turkey has also reached a stage where J it is difficult to keep it in control. If j the Balkan governments can hold the fighting element in check, French officials are hopeful that t{ie diplomats may still win out against Yhe soldiers. i < Greeks Would Fisrht. . > * Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 6.?Several hundred Greeks met here this afternoon ~ 4 and took preliminary steps toward sending trocps to Greece in the event of war between the Balkan States and | / Turkey. More than 100 veterans of the j army of Greece volunteered to return | to the old country. A war fund of $12,-; 000 also was raised. Announcement **as made by G. Gre-j gory, president of the ocal Pan-He!-1 lenic union at whose c:iii th? meeting j was held, that 60 Gr?o'.is from Macon ; : and 100 from Savanna1-:, Ga., would, arrive Tuesday to ~eiuCcrco the local contingent. AMERICAN BLOOD SHED 1> NICARAGUA N ACTION Loss of Life Expected to Bring Coneressional Opposition to k 4 Climax. k- Washington, Oct. ?In a gallant assault American marinp and blue ? jackets yesterday drove the Nicaragua n revolutionary leader, Gea. Z?iecon: and his fcrce? from Coyotepe and Barranca Hills near Masaya after 07 minutes of fighting but in the action four private? of the United States marine corps were killed and a number were wounded. The victory of the Americans opened the way for the Xicaraguan government troops to assa tlt the town of ? Masaya which they took from the revolutionists, and the starving inhab-; itants were relieved. Rebel losses v. ere heavy. The government forces lost 100 killed and 200; wounded. Gen. Zeledon, the rebel, leader, escaped but later was corner ed and killed by a troop of federal cavalry. One thousand American ma- j rines and bluejackets under Lieut. Col. Chas. C.

Admiral Southerland, in reporting the battle to the navy department, said: Proud of Their Valor. "The departmentNand the country have every reason to be proud of the officers, marines and bluejackets who were engaged in this action." Admiral Southerland's dispatch made it plain that the defeat of the rebels was complete, Zeledon, a Xicaraguan, formerly a supporter of Zen: >-? laya, fled toward tne uosia mean boundary to escape. A band of federal cavalrymen discovered him some distance from Masaya and gave fight. After they had defeated him and his followers he was found wounded and died later. I Shedding of American blood in Central America is expected to bring to a climax in congress the dispute over the right of this government to intervene in Nicaragua. Less than a month ago Acting Sec .1 o retary Huntington Wilson issueu a formal notice to the Xicaraguan government of the policy of the United States to take measures for an adequate legation guard at Managua, to ke.-p open communications and to proj tect American life and property. ; The Xicaraguan government already had declared its willingness and 4.V.Q T'nitPf] States even anxiety mat un, act, finding itself fully engaged 4 in fighting the rebels. State department officials are fully prepared for any adverse criticistn of the use of the American navy forces. THE BLACK SQUAD. Grimy Yulcans That Feed the Fires on Ocean Liners. An inferno, all smoke and heat and nnkfdness. is the stokehold of 1X1 ^ UUU MM.. an ocean liner. As you enter it, picking your way over the burning ashes, the hot blast from the furnace moiufls smites you in the face; it scorches your eyes and sears your lungs with every gasping breath you draw. Your impulse is to turn and fly. Life seems impossible in such an atmosphere. And yet the inferno hums with life and strenuous, almost savage, industry. Opposite the huge boilers, quivering with suppressed power like so many chained grants, are the figures of -1 ?n ir\ Cr men as it carvea in euunj, gnoi^u^o with the sweat that streams from every pore. They are working furiously, with muscles swelling and knotting as if they would burst through their sheath of skin?humans in quick succeeding poses of fierce labor which would delight the eye cf the sculptor and baffle his skill. Gathering up a shovelful of coals, each man propels them with a quick - j thp hnrlv into the iorwaru im uai ? white hot heart of the furnace and with a dexterous turn of the wrist spreads them evenly over the Are. Then quick as the eye can follow, another shovelful succeseds and another as if, life itself hung on the breathless swiftness of the seque.jc.1. Si'ch is the stokehold in which the vulcans of our mammoth liners and fppH thp greedy furnaces, L/Cl l ti V/Oii v w which keep the propelle/s revolving to the tune of twenty knots and more an hour--the men of the "black gang" v.ho. clad in trousers almost as black as their grimy bodies, and with :i nlthy "sweat rag" icosely knotted round their necks, toil thus for four hours at a stretch, until the last "ounce" is taken out of them, and they crawl back to their quarters for a well earned eight hours of rest. If a fireman faints, overcone by the heat and exhaustion, he is quickly laid aside in some corner, with a little tepid water dashed on his face, and there he is left until he "comes round," while his fellows ply shovel and "slice" (the latter to clear the fire periodically from refuse) with a fiercer energy than before, adding the fallen man's labor to their own. The moment he recovers consciousness he struggles to his feet, seizes the shovel and is at it again. "Go off watch?" Not he! He's as good a man as any, and the fireman h^'c; bp^fn.
