TIIIO horrors of war, in wholesale slaughter and grewsome plague, have probably never been as ef fectively told in hurriedly writ ten dispatches as those received from the correspondents at Tcbatalja. At Hademkeul, where the remnants of the defeated Turkish army finally rallied and the place fixed for the first peace negotiations, the scourge was shown in its most appalling form. A corre spondent describes it as the valley of the shadow of death an inferno of torture and death more aptly compre hends it. Ashmend Bartlett. with the Ottoman army, tells of the lack of medical ar rangements and how men were thrown from their fellows to die unattended and hastily buried by being barely covered by the earth. "These ghastly mounds," he de clares, "Utter the whole country; there is no escaping them. But these horrid scenes in the villages pale into insignificance when compared with the horrors of Hademkeul. These men, who lived for ten days on green corn or scraps of offal picked up on the march, yield the greatest number of victims. I never actually entered the village of Hademkeul, because the sights outside caused me to turn my horse in the opposite direction. The valley in which Hademkeul lies, view ed from the hills, is the valley of the shadow of death. "Every road over which the troops move is marked with a trail of dead and dying. It is impossible to succor or save any of them. Once a soldier is seized with the disease his com rades shun hltn, as they fear Infec tion. No prayers or pleadings will move the living to raise a helping hand." ' The correspondent, looking toward Hademkeul from a hill, saw a large square formed on one side by the bar racks, on two others by a line of hos pital tents and on the fourth by a high road. The square was covered with corpses and writhing Ixulies lying in all attitudes. Some were prone, some sitting, some kneeling, some constant ly shifting and some with their bands clasped as if in supplication. Plague Dead In Heaps. In some parts the dead were piled iu heaps. In others those still living were almost as closely packed. This lake of Dtis M'y was constantly fed by stretcher bearers bringing fresh victims from tht caiii;is and forts and by others wlw crawled iu of ilieir own accord, seem ills to prefer to end their days in tin company of their fellow men or e : perHiti; to find succor or reieae frmii I heir torments.

The beginning of the two days' us sault on the Tclmtaija defenses which resulted in the repulse of the Bulga rians Is told graphically by a corre spondent who personally witnesseii part of the terrific engagement "At 7 o'clock in the morning flu sudden booming of guns came from the southwest. According to what I was fold by Turkish soldiers, this sudden start of the battle was the chief Bui gariau attempt to rush the Turkish po sitions commanding I lie lake of Biyul; Chekmeji. In the half light of the dawn the Bulgarian Infantry had til ready crept up within a close distance of the Turkish lines. "It Is said that when the Turkish cruiser lying In Biyuk Chekmeji bay saw them it Immediately opened fire with Its big guus.

He snys: "It was the ridge Just across the rail way. w here the line goes southwest be fore turning to the north up the valley to Tchatalja.

"The Bulgarian butteries were flash ing along a line stretching from thb village to Tchutalja, which was ltsell hidden from sight by a piece of rislup ground on my left front, which wn occupied by two Turkish batteries. "On these the Bulgarian shells wen bursting freely without, however, dolnji much damage to either the guns or tb Infantry lying In the shelter of a dip In the ground. "To the right of a disused redoubt the parapet of which I made my posl of observation, was a Turkish fort shelling the village of Izzcdln. A bat tery close by was doing tho same along the front. "Between these points lay a long line of Turkish trenches full of Infantry, among whom the shell fire was evl dently doing damage, for supports in a widely extended line were going slow ly to them, sought out themselves now and then by those sudden death deal ing clouds of compact white smoke that flung the black earth hi showers intc the air. "Farther away on the right were two more Turkish forts, from which still more shells went petulantly screaming across the land toward where tiny flushes In the blue haze of the valley marked the Bulgarian batteries at work. "It was difficult to estimate the range, but I noticed that many Turk ish shells fell short, while some of the Bulgarian shells were bursting .1()fl yards behind the butteries In front of me. Charging the Turkish Trenches. "About I! o'clock ill the afternoon the Bulgarians sent forward infantry from Tchatalja against the Turkish trenches lying along the opposite ridge. For a quarter of an hour a heavy rifle lire took plac e at this point and then slack ened. "As the Bulgarians withdrew shortly afterward a dense column of cream colored smoke sprang up In the vil lage of lzzedin. L' Ideutly the Turkish shells had set It on lire1. "All this time heavy firing was go ing on along the valley that stretched away to the left and round In a crescent shape toward Luke Biyuk t'helaneje. There the Turkish cruiser llamldiyeh was engaged all clay, covering with her lire the narrow nock of land that sep arates ihe lake from the sea. "As night fell the long day's urtiliery duel slackened and died away to si lence. Firing Resumed at Dawn. "We got up before sunrise and le'.urn ed to see Ihe liallle start again. Again It began as soon as it was light, but only along the valley between Tcha talja and Lake Biyuk Chekiuejl. The forts on our right, which were? yester day so active, were now silent, one bat tery coining awuy from that, part of Ihe line as we watched. "That Bulgarian lire against that section of (lie front had ceased, how ever, was shown by the Impunity with which a bullock wagon and train of ammunition was crossing (he ground where yesterday shells were bursting. "I heard several stories from soldiers of the Incidents of Sunday's battle, which I cannot guarantee. One was to the effect that the presence of a regi ment of .r(Hi Bulgarian cavalrymen was detected near the village of Biyuk Chekmeji by the fact that two of tliclr scouts entered the village' and obtained food from a (Jreek priest.

As tending to the implication of labor union offi cials in plots, tho government Intro duced testimony that explosions on nonunion Iron works followed the re fusal of contractors to unionize theli jobs after personal visits by some ol tho defendants. Before two charges of dynamite ex ploded on a bridge in St. Louis on Aug S, 1908, John T. Garrett, president ol a construction firm, testified he was visited by John H.

I told him ) suspected he was going to dynamite the Job and he had better be careful It was blown up later."

Paul Helleu Caret Not From Which Section of the Country They Coma, Be They Humble or Exalted, but They Must Be a Delight to the Eye. Paul Helleu, the famous French dry paint etcher, who has received a mod est fortune for each of the etchings be has made of beautiful American so ciety women, is again in this couutry. this time ou a beauty cutest, pure and simple, iu which the simple- country girl, the modestly dressed shopgirl and the healthy, red blooded miss of the ranch has Just as much chance of tow ing selected as tbe proudest society maid or matrou. And tbe master etch er takes pains to emphasize the fact that he is not confining himself to New York. In eight fair faces he desires to encompass the entire muge of beauty In America. So It you are a young woman and your friends are in the habit of ravin over your charms and your mirror tells you you are an exquisite type of American beauty, look out for a tall, dark man with a pointed beard. He may be after you. M. Helleu is looking for types. There Ib not room In his sketchbook for all the types he may find, nnd be only wants eight. LaBt summer he made for IIllustration, the French weekly, a series of eight sketches of the most beautiful types of Parislennes and oth ers that he could find at Deauville dur ing the fashionable seasou, and now the same paper has commissioned him to make eight sketches of the most beautiful types he can find In America. Commissions For Portraits. Of course M. Helleu came over here to carry out commissions to make por traits of American women and chil dren, which he engaged to do before leaving home. When M. Helleu was In New York ten years ago he made pic-' tures of almost every young society woman of that time, and some of tfiese ho has made agnln almost every year since then. His reputation was made first in pastel work, and his work is fa mous not only for its beauty, but for the few lines ho makes in the execu tion of a picture. "I have ulno portraits to make," said he. "Some of them are of children: some are of women In society. I be lieve I have made the portrait of al most every society woinun in New York. My latest subJeM-t was Mrs. Clarence Mackay. Here Is the most beautiful woman In Paris Just uow." he said, taking up an etching which seemed little more than an outline. "It Is Mine. Menler. Here Is n recent por trait of the Duchess of Marlborough, and here Is a late one of Mrs. Philip Lyelig. whom I have done five or six times. "I shall not make my selections of American types without careful study." said M. Helleu In answer to a epiesfion "They will by no means be limited to society women. On (he beach nt Deau ville, at the races, In Ihe restaurant of the Hotel do Paris nt Tronvllle nnd nt the casino last summer I searched long before I eliminated those- fbat I did not consider to be the best types." "Which nationality of women lends Itself best to treatment In your stylo of work?" he was asked. "That Is a question which I dj not like to answer," was the reply, "but If you were to ask nu American woman and she told you her mind her answer would be that the Frenchwoman is the prettiest and the most chle. Else why do your American women come over to Pails for (heir froe';s and their hats, their thousand and one little adornments of person in which Paris sets the standard? Not ouly does the Frenchwoman dress better, but her face and figure are prettier. Tho proof of this Is that the American women copy the French as much as possible even in the figure. American Woman a Spender. "Of course the American spends h gri'iit deal more on her clothes poor American husband! but the effect Is dllllcult to nchleve. A Frenchwoman is by nature economical. It is Inborn In her to uchleve very great results on little expenditure of money. The Frenchwoman has not the money to spend on her clothes that the Ameri can woman has. Yet take the women of any cluss yon will see on the streets of Purls. Consider the little man nequin on the Rue de la Palx. She makes wages that are Jntinlti'siraal. but iioUit the way she selects her hat. how her poor little dress conforms to the style of the moment, how the dain ty touch here and there about her cos tume make's her u pic ture. "Your American women are extrava gant in dress. They are getting more luxurious all the time. It Is a species of folly. American women spend four times ns much on their rrocks as Im rlsleiines. Of course I will admit tlci: the French and the American wcune i are the most stylish Iu flic world.
