MARITZA SYMBOLIZES
CONTENTION OF SLAVS
Three Races Lay Claim to River Boundary of Europe
TURKS LEAD NOMADIC LIFE
Aurianople Is One of Main Factors in Desire for Thrace
Washington, D. C., Oct. 11 (United Press)—"The Maritzia River, the boundary of the European territory which the victorious Turks demanded as soon as they drove the Greeks from Asia Minor, is, like the Rhine, between France and Germany, a symbol and one of the contents among Bulgar, Greek, and Turk," says a builder of the National Geographic Society.
"Each of these three people has climbed the Maritza Valley as belonging to it on ethnic grounds," continues the booklet, "and such is the
racial mix-up in Thrace an the position of Macedonia which adjoins it, that each has at least some excuse for its claim. Thrace—and indeed all of Remelia or Rumult—as the Turkmen whose tribes then three wards conquered has for five hundred years been in the monarchical condition of being Turkish territory, yet more Christian than Mohammedmans, more alien than TurkMoreover, the non-Turks non-Mohammedmans were more intelligent and more industrious than the Molemns, a fact which has heightened the non-Turkish aspect of the country in spite of the burden of heavy taxation, persecution and massacre which the non-Turkmen have had placed on their shoulders.
Turks Rule Cities
"More or less unconscionally the Turks seem, throughout their tenure of half a millionnium in Europe, to have considered themselves engaged in a military occupation. In the trade and industry of the towns and cities they did not and could not compete with the Greeks and Jews and Armenians; and in the agricultural purposes of the countryside by the Bulgars and Vlachs and the occasional Greeks who are farmers.
"Many of the Turks confined their activities to the cities where they were rulers or soldiers. Those who led the lives of peasants never wholly shook off their nomadism. They were less efficient than their despised Christian neighbors, a fact which led many to a pillaging and massacring them. The Turks humble their station, were armed, while the Christian were not.
A. Dreary Plain
"Eastern Thrace between the Straits and the Maritza River is of little value agriculturally. It is an unattractive, dreary, monotonous plain with here and there swampy depressions. Large areas of the territory were inhabited by the people give the country the appearance of a desert. When the Bulgarians finally controlled the region after the Balkan war of 1912-13, trakked to Asia Minor; and under the Greek control of the past few years that movement has continued. As a result the Throne was unchallenged in non-Turkish than in the past.
On the Maritza and in Thrace, barely 25 miles from the present Bulgarian border, is Adriapole, second city of old European Turkey, and a strong sentimental reason for the Turk's desire once more to possess Thrace. Thracian land was the first in Europe to fall under Turkish sway, and while Constantinople still remained Byzantine, Adriapole was the Ottoman city on the south coast of the Serbans, and finally, in 1433, seized the great city on the Stratsa. There, though in ruins, is the first European palace of the Sultan.
the first European plate of the Sub-
lite, the grave of the first Sub-
lite Mura.
"Formerly Adrianope was a thriving center of trade. But as the European portion of the Ottoman Emirate, where most of the buildings in Bengrade and Sofa, released from Turkish control, grew from dingy mud villages to *bustling towns*, *Adle* oplost ground. The city still contains about 50,000 inhabitants, however, and has been an island we and other non-Moslem peoples freely outnumbering the Moslems."

WOMEN TO MEET HERE FOR WORLD COUNCH
international Organization 1
Composed of Leaders From
Twenty-Eight Countries
Washington, D. C., Oet. 11 (United Press.)—A world council of women will meet in the United States in 1925. Women leaders from practically every civilized land will visit America at that time, guests of the National Council of Women, of which the General Council of Women's Cuba is a part.
Plans for the quinquennial of the International Council of Women which is the first meeting of the body ever scheduled for America, were launched immediately upon the receipt recently of a cagramble to Mrs. Moore announcing the decision of the Inter-American Hugue, to accept the invitation of the United States Council to hold its 1925 meeting in Washington, D. C.
In order to insure the presence of women from every one of its foreign organizations at the Norwegian Quinquennial 1920, an appropriation of 40,000 krone from the Storting was secured to help defy the expenses of the delegates from Iceland, Ukraine, Greece, Serbia, and Austria. In keeping with this precedent the United States Council of Women will

Just a Little Tid to Glove Buyers
When President Harding signed the Tariff Bill a couple of weeks ago all kid gloves coming in from the foreign makers cost from $2.00 to $8.00 a dozen more than they had the day before.
Already stores that are reordering are paying these advances. As long as our present stock lasts we shall continue to sell at the lower price.
We advise buying kid gloves now, especially in long and in gantlet styles. First to save this extra cost but mostly because there will be a real scarcity in a very short time.
Suits $40 Protch, the College Tailor
Stop at our glove counter and see the new styles in gauntlets and fancy backs and also note prices today.

ORDER BEFORE THURSDAY NIGHT
Tomorrow is the last day you can reserve your Jayhawker and still get your name in gold leaf on the cover of your book FREE. Sign up and mail in the Jayhawker card which you received and that is all you need to do.
We want to prevent a large number of students letting tomorrow slide by without reserving their books. Every place we have gone recently there has been an almost unanimous support of the 1923 Jayhawker,
We want to know how many students at K. U. want the best record of their school year—the 1923 Jayhawker, a book with more diversion than any other thing you can buy during this year.
By reserving your book now, you let us go ahead with the highly important editorial work. To get you to do this we are willing to stamp your name in gold leaf on the cover of your book FREE. And it is easy to subscribe this year!
It is seldom that we talk to anybody who says he does not want a Jayhawker. Last night, for instance, the editor talked to about eighty people and seventy-three of these reserved books.
Because some did not get Jayhawker return cards we are printing a duplicate in this ad. Tear it out and sign it. Then mail it at once. Tear it out now. Your Jayhawker is the best investment you will make this school year.
Here is the card!
