Washington, Oct. SO. Turkey's en
trance into the field of warlike opera
tions, though, not unexpected, has
caused a sensation In official circles
here because of the probable far
reaching effect of this action. Prob
ably no one factor in the great Euro
pean struggle Is regarded so uncer
tain quantity and quality as the Tur
kish empire. The probability that by
yesterday's act of war against Rus
sia, the Balkan states may be drawn
into the great conflict, thereby cutting
off a vast quantity of food supplies has
brought home to the officials here the
realization of the interest of the United
States in this last development.
The result of Turkey's entry upon the
scene as a belligerent as viewed by
the military experts here from a pure
ly technical point of view will be to
greatly embarrassed Iissia at the out
set. In official Washington for months It
has been known that the Ottoman gov
ernment was preparing for military
operations. No dispatches have been
received from Constantinople in sev
eral days. ,
Ambassador Morgenthau previously
had reported the activities of the war
party, the efforts of the large com
mercial Interests of Turkey, already
weakened by previous wars .to pre
serve Turkey's neutrality and of the
critical conversations between the Tur
kish foreign office and the diplomatic
representatives of the belligerent
countries.
TURKS WERE PREPARING.
Diplomatic representatives in Wash
ington of the allied powers have be
lieved from the outset that as soon as
Turkey had fully prepared her army
and navy for the conflict she would
cast the die for war. Great Britain,
Russia and France have, through their
ambassadors, made it plain to Turkey,
it is understood, what the consequences
of her entry might be. They are un
derstood to be that the Anglo-French
fleet, which has been comparatively
unoccupied In the Mediterranean would
bombard the ports of Asia Minor,
Greece would probably Join the allies
against Turkey and that tie Balkan
states might be drawn Into the "gen
eral imhroglio with the possibility that
Italy might be found fighting Turkey
as well.
That the conflict might extend to
Egypt, Persia or Arabia with the pos-
sibility of the Japanese fleet support
ing operations of the Allies has oeen
discussed here in quarters . friendly to
the Allies.
When reports were current of war
among Musselmen in India, It was
made clear that Japan would offer her
services to Great Britain, feeling that
the spirit of the Anglo-Japanese alli
ance compelled her to support her ally
in maintaining the special interests or

The policy of Greece aa previously
announced by Minister Schliemann
hre would cause Greece to enter tne
war in case any of the peaceful Balkan
I states should take up arms. No offi
cial dispatches had reached the Greek
legation early today. Minister Schlie
mann suggested that it was possiole
that the reported action of the Tur
kish warships might have been
prompted by a mutiny of the crew.
TURKEY'S WAR STRENGTH.
The full war strength of Turkeys
army is 300,000 trained men, according
to statistics here, but m addition it
is believed that there are about 400,000

presence of the diplomatic representa
tives of the allies in Constantinople
was pointed out here as Indicating that
the Goeben and Breslau may have been
acting independently of the-Turkish
foreign office. The next step seemed
to depend on whether Russia would
view the vessels as still German and
refrain from activity against Turkey
or would regard them as engaged in
acts of war on behalf of the Ottoman
government. ,
Earlier in the war It was generally
assumed that the entrance of Turkey
on the side of Germany and Austria
would force Italy to assist the allies.
The opposition of Greece to Turkey
and the sending of Greek troops to
Albania, where Italy feels a special
interest, might alter the situation, in
the view of diplomatists here, causing
Italy, perhaps, to resent the approval
which the Triple Entente is said to
have given to Greek operations In
Epirus.

TWO DARKIES HANGED.
Montgomery. Ala.. Oct. 30. Luther
Sims and Henry Swanson. negroes,
were hanged this morning at Dade
ville, Ala for the murder of J.
Fletcher Turner, who was at one time
a member of the state legislature from
Tallapoosa county and prominent in
public life.
Is suggested also that Servia soon
may be compelled to retire within her
own borders and assume a purely de
fensive role in consequence of the na
tional exhaustion resulting from the
fighting of three campaigns in as
many years.
The battle arena stretching between
La Basse and Nieuport has been vir
tually screened off again, so far as
independent news is concerned, and
the official communications on the
progress of the fighting In Flanders
are so contradictory that little can be
gleaned from them. The appointment
of Baron Fisher, popularly callAd
"Jacky" Fisher, to succeed Prince
Louis of Battenberg as first sea lord
of the admiralty has been hailed with
enthusiasm by the public.
SENSATIONAL ENTRY.
Turkey's sensational entrance ir.to
the arena of the European conflict is
the most striking Incident of the past
twelve hours. It seems a fateful -ioin-cidence
that one of the famous Ger
man cruisers, whose taking over b7
Turkey led to the first friction between
the Porte and Great Britain, Franco
and Russia, should have been the in
strument of hostility which makes war
between Turkey and Russian inevi
table. Petrograd disclaims any Idea of ag
gressive warfare against the Turks.
Russia asserts her intention merely
to protect Russian interests ar und
the Black sea from attack. It Is in
teresting to note that the Russian
press expresses the belief that t e
entry of Turkey Into the field is of
more interest to England than to Rus
sia on account of England's txada
routes to India and other points in
the Far East. ' "
English newspapers tase an equally
philosophic view of Turkey's action
and express the belief that, while the
military situation will not be gr-atly
changed, Turkey in Europe is doomed
to extinction. Unless Bulgaria Joins
the enemies of Turkey, an invasion of
European Turkey by land is impracti
cable, according to British observers,
and the warfare will be navaL Tux
key's navy, assisted by the former
German cruisers Goeben and Breslau
as considered here to be far more for
midable than her army, which Is said
, to be Inefficiently equipped and poor'y
fed. Greece will Jump at the chance
of again measuring swords with her
ancient enemy, it Is felt in London,
and with the two battleships recently
purchased from the United. States she
will be in a position to meet the Turk
ish ships on equal terms.
In the Black sea, the Russian fleet
has no single units as powerful ?
either the Goeben or the Breslau, bu
the number of her vessels, it is argued
in London, will give her command of
this inland sea.
The state of Albania, considered, a
masterpiece of the diplomacy of the
great powers, has effectually disproved,
the theories that she was a compact
nation by resolving herself into sev
eral separate governments, some of
which are nothing more than Inde
pendent municipalities. The dis
puted European concert Is represented
at Avlonia by Italy and by four wan
dering commissioners with no govern
ment to accept their advice. Greece
has Invaded Northern Epirus and com
placently announces that her action has
met with the approval of the powers.
In the north Essad Pasha, representing
Turkey, evidently is preparing to oc
cupy the unstable throne recently de
serted by rince William of WIed.
In the area of purely military ac
tivities there seems to be a general
lull. Special dispatches from West
Flanders continue to describe the ter
rible fighting which has marked the
great battle there but official commu
nications from both sides indicate that
there has 'been little change In the
relative situation of the opposing ar
mies. One special dispatch dwells on
an occasion early in the battle when
the Belgian army exhausted and alf
most without ammunition was on the
point of retiring before overwhelming
numbers, when much to their surprise
two German divisions opposed to theai
suddenly retired. The Belgians ad
mit that had their intended retrat
been carried out, tbe f,ay would have
been cleared for a G'rman march on
Dunkirk, as the allies had hot yet
come up In suffiffldent force to cover
the Belgian retreat.
Petrograd is still cautious In the
matter of statements concerning the
extent of her successes In Russian Po
land. She now declares that the Ger
mans and Austrians may be expected
to resume the offensive at any mo
ment, and they have received raln-forcements.
.A special ventre for jurors In ftw
various murder cases scheduled for
trial during the coming week was Is
sued yesterday and last night deputy
sheriffs were busy serving all who
had been drawn for Jury duty.
Four cases are on the docket for
trial, the first being that of the negro
charged with the McKinnon villa mur
der. He win be arraigned Monday
morning.

When Chief Sanders and Special Of

to hurry to the corner of Cervantes
street and Eighteenth avenue t!ey
made a quick trip in the city's automo
bile, with the result that they arrived
on the scene just in time to catch
John Williams, colored, leaving the
yard with a sack filled with fine
chickens.
The two officers left the automobile
as they neared the house and were
walking by tbe side of the yard fence
when the negro leaped over almost Into
their arms. With the chickens in his
possession he did not deny the tneft
but said he had taken a large number
of other chickens from the place and
sold them to a man working in a sa

the house by Miss Murphy, the occ i

ing the thief.
