MONTANA BATTLES TODAY POR RIGHT TO RULE HERSELF Equipped it last with the power to achiwe .their political freedoni, the people of Montana today do battle with the "invisible government" for t control of the commonwealth. Upon the success today of popularly-initiated laws depends in no small i degree the future delfiire of the state,; for by their treatment of these measin urea the himen peple of Montana will show whether or not misgovernmlnt o in the past has.schooled them into sufficient distrust of the clever fabrica tions of the agents of. privileged capital.

The fight has been backed by all V the wealth of a powerful business combination, and has been guided with all the craft of an organization that has ruled legislatures and sometimes the courte of the state for decades. C Self-government is the issue. If the voters bof Montana have learned by e experience the worthlessness of the advice of Amalgamated newspapers n they will pass consolidation, compensation, suffrage and farm loan measures tomirrow eand .by so doing will show their ability to use against a power- C fuli enemy the powerful weapon. provided by the Initiative and Referendum law.

It was dlsclosed In a statement issued by the French government this |. evening that Turkey, in reply to a o note presented by Russia, France and T, Englatd 'on Friday last, agreed to bI recall hli~ fleet from the Black sea; lo but refutied to dismiss the German officer' ffotr her ships and, that as IIt was believed she could not maintain a passive attitude without doing this, m the ambassadors of the entente at powers demanded their passports and/i left Turkey. , There is every reas6n to believe that, despite the apology of the grand vizier, which, it is understood comes from the peace party In the Turkish al cabinet and may not be adhered to by Enver Pasha, the minister of war, and his young Turk followers. France, hC RuSsia and Great Britain not only to will demand reparation but will insist ti that Turkey's entire fleet, or at any at rate the cruisers Goeben, BreNla and Hamidieh, be put out of commission it until after the war, Turkey's security being guaranteed in the meantime.

London, Nov. 2.-The entire North sea has been declared ta military area and merchant vessels entering it will be exposed to the gravest dangers from the mines and from the warships which are searching vigilantly by night and day for suspicious craft. This action has been taken as a reply to the laying of mines by the Germans in the waters north of Ireland.

Bulgaria Prepares. Meanwhile a report comes from Constantinople of the seizure of an other Russlsan steamer and also that Bulgarla, which had been asked to choose tlio side on which she would fight, had commenced to mobilize her second line troops. The Germans continue to striko hard blows on the allies' lines in their endeavor to get through to the coast. Thi.s far they have found every road blocked, but apparently disregarding losses, they continue to attack. Flood ed areas, the Belgian army and the British fleet, having barred their way southward along the coast, the Ger mans are now striking on a llte stretching from Ypres in Belgium to La Basso further south in France, but seemingly with no more success. Nothing Gained. The stubbornness of the fighting along this line may be gathered from the fact that the town of Messines, which the Germnns now occupy, has been taken and retaken no less than four times since lhtt Saturday. each time with enormous losses in killed and wounded. Attacks also have been made along the entire battle front as far east as the Vosges region, but according to the French report, with the Germans haviig no more success than in the northwest. May End Soon. The belief is growing here and it also has been expressed by those re turning from Belgium that the Ger mans are making a last effort to get through to the coast and that if it fails they will fall back to positionl, in central Belgium. Although fighting is continuous on the east Prussian frontier, in Poland and in Otlllcia, there is no important change in the situation and it believed none is likely until the Russian armies come up with the Germans who Sare retiring from the Vistula toward the Warthe river. On this river it is considered likely that another big battle will be fought. In South Africa. The backbone of the rebellion in South Africa seems to be broken. Colonel Marltz's commundes in the north of the province have been com pletely defeated. Several of the lead ers and most of their men have been captured. General Boyers is in flight and General DeWet has opened nego tiations for surrender, it is said. The German cruiser, Karlsruheo has added three more British steamers to her list of captures in the Atlantic, one of them, thie Van Dyke, being a vessel of about 10,000 tons. There were reports today of naval activity in the straights of Dover. A dispatch from Dover said a iritish torpedo boat desti'oyer was observed to be in action, apparently against a German submarine. ALLIED FLEET GOES AFTER TURKS RIGHT Amsterdam, Nov. 2.--(via London) A dispatch from Constantinople says: "According to reliable news an Anglo-French fleet yesterday entered Tohesmo bay, Asia Minor, about 40 miles west of Smyrna, where the small Turkish gunboat Berak Reis and the Turkish steamer Kanili-Adda were anchored. The Commander of the Turkish gunboat sank the steamer and blew iup his own vessel, to prevent their capture by the allied fleet."
