CZAR FERDINAND OF BULGARIA HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN ALLIES' WAR AGAINST TURKEY PRESIDENT TAFT UVANT A Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria has been active in the field during the war against Turkey. He followed the routed Turks in their retreat to Constantinople, and he personally commanded the victorious army. To show how modern is his army equipment the accompanying picture of him in an automobilo is interesting.

The other picture shows Swiss Red Cross surgeons attending the injuries of a Servian soldier who had been severely burned. SENDS MESSAGE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS CHIGE OF 1 CHARTER WASHINGTON, 1. Dec. 3. President Tal't today sent to congress MISS NELLIE WINN SMITH ENGAGED a message on our foreign relations.

After reciting these, the president says: "It is not possible to make to the congress a communication upon the WILL MARRY YOUNG CATTLEMAN OF MONTEREY COUNTY ON CHRISTMAS MORN. present loreigu relations of the Unit ed States, so detailed as to convey an ideipiate impression of the enormous increase in the importance and activ ities of those relations. If this gov- rnineut is really to preserve to the American people that free opportunity in foreign markets which will soon bo indispensable to our prosperity, even greater efforts must be made.

F. Smith of this city, announced her engagement to George Bradley Avbell of Monterey. Miss Smith is the third daughter of the well-known Sinilh family and was born and reared in Santa Cruz. After her graduation from the high school here she spent three years at tho university of California and later graduated from tho state normal school at San Jose. She Is a bright, attractive girl, with marked musical ability, hnj has many friends in Santa Cruz who will be pleased to hear of her new-found happiness.

It was while teaching school near Bradley, In the neighboring county, that Miss Smith met the eyoung cattleman. Their acquaintance soon became a friendship, and very soon Cupid sealed their fafe with love. The young man recently lost his mother, his father having died some years ago, anil the wedding for that reason er commercial nations. There are many ways In which, through hearty cooperation, tho legislative and executive branches of this government can do much. The abso lute essential Is the Hpirlt of united ffort and singleness of purpose.

I The strange facility with which Santa Cruzans conspire to want to do everything at once to the detriment of one or more important things and the absolute accomplishment of none of the really important matters under consideration, was plainly exhibited late yesterday afternoon when Hugh R. Osburn filed with City Clerk Wright a petition bearing about 370 names asking the council to call a special election for the choosing of fifteen freeholders to draft a new-charter and suggesting that the old charter approved in February, 1007, might be a good instrument to go back to for the city's organic law. City Clerk Wright presented the petition informally to the council this morning and wag Informed by City Attorney Johnston that lj per cent of the qualified electors voting for governor in the city of Santa Cruz at the last state election would be necessary to make the proper number of valid names on the petition. City Clerk Wright will make the verification and report to the council at the next meeting. The filing of the petition for new-charter has led to a lot of comment on the charter question among the citizens generally.

Some go so far as to point to the move for a new charter as one calculated to "get rid of McPherson and Jones" before the next city election, thus wiping the political slate clean of any of the present administration and with the old form of charter In vogue electing certain officials Into power that are now appointed. Ratification of a new charter is necessary by the legislature and it hardly seems likely that freeholders could be elected, a charter drafted, an election held for Its adoption and ratification by the legislature obtained before they adjourn in the spring. The cost of the two city elections will probably be $000 each. There has been some talk among certain citizens recently to the effect that certain amendments to the present charter would seem advisable, but a general move toward the adoption of an entirely new instrument at this time was hardly thought likely. The petition filed with the city clerk is numerously signed.

Following are the signatures: will allude only to a very few specific examples of action which ought then to result.
