London, Oct. 29. An interesting question at the present moment is the whereabouts of the Turkish army of which nothing, definite is known. The news that Esk Baba has been taken by. the Bulgarian cavalry, ap- parently without resistance, shows that Navin Pasha s army is not where it is supposed to have been on the line. between Kuleli Burgas or Lule Burgez. It may be further west in the direction of Democati, but it is generally supposed that it hag retired from the line of railway and entrenched itself on the long line from Democati to Topurlu. Constantinople despatches continue to speak of the readiness of the Turkish army to take the offensive The victorious Bulgarian army is stil advancing. It has occupied Bunarhissar and is marching toward Kulelf Burgah. Unless the Turks are able to, take the offensive vigorously the present indication is that they will be driven out of Europe altogether, failing in- ( . A. P.

There have been renewed act vities with regard to Enropean interven tion in the past few-days and great diplomatic action in London. The Turkish ambassador had two house conferences on Saturday at the French embassy and an important conference was held today at the British foreign office between Sir Edward Grey, the Foreign Secretary; Winston Spencer Churchill, Fiest Lord of the Admiralty, and Lieut. Col. J. B. Seely, Minister of War. Then the Turkish, French, Russian and Italian ambassadors visited the Foreign Secretary, who afterwards had an audience with the King, at Buckingham Palace.

Despateb) Ottawa, Oct. 28: The possibility Suggested of a change in the r- fangement by which Mr. Marechal. K.C., will become Quebec s new member of the Cabinet in succession of Hon. F. D. Monk, has already du- veloped inro a reality. A sudden and unexpected change has come abbut in the -political situation and it now looks as though Mr. Maresh- all will not be taken into the C: inet. Following a conference on day night between Premier Borden. Sir Rodolphe Foriget and Hon. bert Rogers, it was semi-officially announced that Mr. Mlarechall was to b vested with the office of Seore- tary of State, that Hon. Robert Re- gers will become Minister of Public Works and Hon W. J. Roche, Min- ister of the Interior It was understood that Mr. Marechal was to haye been sworn in on Monday.

Montreal, where Mr. Coderre will seek re-elec- tion will be issued without delay and the voting will be over before the House meets on November 2st. There is still considerable specula- tion as to why Mareshail at the last moment. stood aside for Mr. Co- derre. Two reasons are given and generally accepted (1) that objection was taken to Mr. Marechal entering the Cabinet as a representative of the district of Montreal and repre- senting Charlevoix constituency in jthe Quebec district, and (2) a fear that under such conditions Mr. Marechall might not be able to carry the constituency; It-is understood that Dr. Pagnet, chief Government whip for Quebec, has placed his re- signation in the hands of Premier Borden. ish army defeated at umanova, ap- pears to be demoralized. and has evacuated Velesaz, it is also it is retiring on Monastir, Bucharest, Roumania, Oct, 28. cumstances do not warrant the mo- Dilization of the Roumanian army. The King addressing the ministers declared, however, that the existing grave situation would impose upon Roumania, the duty of arriving at important decisions. The King s speech is interpreted as indicating that in the event of Tur- key's defeat, Roumania would insist upon being consulted in any, redis- tribution of Turkish dominions Athens, Oct. 29.
