KEEP WATCH ON
TURKEY’S MOVES
Attack on Russia by Sultan May
Bring Other Nations in
to the Conflict.
LESS FIGHTING ALONG COAST
Germany’s Efforts to Capture Dunkirk
and Calais Cease—Both Sides
Exhausted—Relief for
Hungry Belgians.
(Summary of Events .)
Hostilities between Russia and
Turkey, which began when Turk
ish cruisers bombarded two Rus
sian lilack sea ports on Oct. 29,
are developing rapidly, according
to official reports from Constanti
nople and Petrograd.
London says that England and
Greece have an agreement by which
Greece will protect the Suez canal,
and British troops have been mobil
ized along the Egyptian frontier, In
anticipation of Turkey's action, for
several weeks.
Constantinople reports that Turkish
and Russian fleets clashed when the
Turks started to steam through the
Bosphorus into the Black Sea, and
that five Russian small warships were
sunk. Another report states that
Turkish destroyers have sunk a Rus
sian gunboat and damaged four mer
chantmen in the port of Odessa.
The United States State Department
has received word from the American
consul at Odessa that Turkish war
ships bombarded that port and dam
aged American property.
Comes as No Surprise.
Turkey's entry into the war is not a
surprise. Ever since the hostilities
started reports have come of the
mobilization of the sultan's army.
Always they have been denied.
German officers have been drilling
the Ottoman soldiers for several
months. For several years it has
been known that the kaiser was aiding
the sultan In his military preparations.
The German military Bystem was drill
ed into the Turkish soldiers and in the
later Balkan war the German hand
could be recognized in the movements
of the Turkish army.
British Warned Turkey.
It has been said that Germany sup
plied the Ottoman government with
Inrge sums of money. Great Britain
warned Turkey to keep off, and recent
ndvices from Constantinople indicated
that Turkey intended to maintain her
neutrality.
Under stress of pursuit by Britisli
warships, the German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau early in the war took
refuge at Constantinople. They yere
purchased by Turkey, but the German
officers and crews were retained.
Later they sallied forth, and a warning
was issued by Russia that should the
Russian warships meet these two
cruisers they would open fire.
The former German warships have
proved a cause of irritation throughout
the last few weeks to the Allies, and
Great Britain asked the Ottoman gov
ernment to remove the Germans from
the vessels, but Turkey replied that
this was a domestic question.
Mean* New Balkan War.
Meanwhile Turkey has been under
surveillance by the Allies. Its action
in the present attack on Russian sea
ports has not been explained, but it
is possible that her injection into the
war may bring to arms some of the
Balkan states which have up to the
present remained quiescent.
Of the Balkan states, Servia and
Montenegro already are taking part in
the war, Servia having started it. Bul
garia and Rumania will stand togeth
er with Russia, it is believed, botli be
ing opposed to Austria and Turkey.
Greece also will turn against the
Turks and the Greek navy will be of
great assistance to the Allies, It is be
lieved.
Lull In Big Battle.
The battle of the Yser and the
series of lights which lias taken
place along the whole front in
Belgium and France appear, with the
troops now exhausted, to have degen
erated into numerous Isolated attacks
and counter attacks, in which the
gains and losses are about equally di
vided between the combatants.
On that purt of the battle front
nearest tiie sea, where the Germans
have delivered repeated attacks with
daily increasing forces, in their effort
to make their way to Dunkirk and
eventually to Calais, and where the
Allies have offered stubborn resist
ance, there has been another day of
comparative calm.
Allle* on Their Toe*.
The situation around La Basse
is being carefully watched. The
Germans have adopted the tactics
which proved so successful at Ant*
werp. They are apparently endeavor*
ing to drive a wedge into the Allies
by sheer weight of gunfire. North of
Lille all continues well though the
Germans have brought up powerful
reserves. The Belgians once more are
in the thick of the fray.
Germans to Renew Attacks.
There is every evidence, however,
that the Germans intend to renew
their attempt to force their way
through to Dunkirk. They are bring
ing up fresh men and more ammuni
tion and guns, but at the same time
are taking the precaution to prepare
a second line of defense, should their
forward movement again meet with
defeat.
The new attempt, it is believed, will
be made further inland, for the failure
of the first one was largely due to the
bombardment that the troops and ar
tillery had to undergo from the Brit
ish and French warships ofT the coast
of Belgium.
This cessation of heavy fighting
seems to have extended along the line
as far as Arras, and the result of it
all is that the Germans, while they
have suffered heavy losses and have
inflicted similar punishment on the
Allies, aro farther away from the
French coast than they were at the
beginning of the battle.
Russians Advancing Again.
The entire Russian army is again
advancing against the Austro-German
forces. Advices from the front indi
cate that the Austrian troops In Gali
cia are being enveloped by the Rus
sian left, while the Russian center and
right are driving the Germans back
upon their advanced lines of defense
inside of the East Prussia frontier.
After more than a week of fighting
along the San river the Austrians
have now begun to retreat from the
southern section.
Admit Russian Victory.
The German and Austrian troops
in Poland, according to an official an
nouncement issued in Berlin, have
been forced to withdraw before fresh

Will This Country Help?
Reports to the Belgian legation at
Washington of the miserable condi
tions among the inhabitants of the
captured country, whose fields and
storehouses have been ravaged and
laid waste by four armies, have
prompted the Belgian minister, Mr.
| Havenith, to redouble his efforts to
obtain funds in the United States for
the relief of his destitute people.
Open Way for Beiglan Relief.
As a result of the urgent represen
tations made to the foreign office by
W. H. Page, the American ambassa
dor, the British government has given
its permission for the raising of the
existing embargo for foodstuffs to the
extent of allowing ships to depart for
Holland with a quarter of a million
dollars’ worth of food bought by the
American committee for the relief of
Belgium.
Greeks Invading Albania.
According to a message from Avlona,
Albania, 600 regular Greek soldiers,
with one battery of artillery, have ar
rived at Vaniri and attacked the Mus
sulmans and Gheghi, forcing them to
retreat. The Greeks then started for
Kerciovo. Advices from the interior
declare that Greek Epiretos have bom
barded, burned and occupied the vill
ages of Socialisi, Busi, Tepelini, Rubzi
and Premedi.

BUT ALLIES INSIST WARSHIPS

FIGHTING ALONG AISNE
BERLIN CLAIMS ADVANCES BUT
LONDON SAYS ALLIES
BLOCK ATTACKS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Nov. 3. —In spite of the
fact that Turkey has apologized for the
raid of warships on Russian seaports
In the Black Sea, Russia has contin
ued to hurl an army against the Mos
lems In the South, and tile Triple En
tente has refused to accept the back
down of the Porte.
The Grand Vizier of Turkey has
apologized, on behalf of his govern
ment, for the operations of the Turk
ish fleet under German commanders
in the Black Sea, but it was stated
authoritatively that the Porte must go
very much further than this before
the powers of the Triple Entente will
agree to resume friendly relations with
the Ottoman government.
It was disclosed in a statement is
sued by the French government that
Turkey, in reply to a note presented
by Russia, France and England on Fri
day last, agreed to recall her fleet
from the Black Sea—but refused to
dismiss the German officers from her
ships, and that it was believed she
could not maintain a passive attitude
without doing this, the ambassadors of
the entente powers demanded their
passports and left Turkey.
There is every reason to believe
that, despite the apology of the Grand
Vizier, which it is understood comes
from the peace party in the Turkish
Cabinet and may not be adhered to by
Enver Pasha, the minister of war, and
his Young Turk followers, France,
Russia and Great Britain not only will
demand reparation for the warlike op
erations of the Turkish fleet in the
Black Sea, but will insist that Tur
key's entire fleet, or at any rate the
cruisers Goeben, Breslau and Haml
dleh, bo put out of commission until
after the war. Turkey s security be
ing guaranteed in the meantime.
This would give Russia such superi
ority in the Black Sea that there would
be no danger of Turkish raids. It is
suggested also that de-mobilization of
the Turkish army would be demanded,
which would mean that those troops
which have crossed the Egyptian fron
tier must bo withdrawn.
However, as the terms of Turkey’s
apology, which apparently was made
In London, have not been published
and must be considered by the entente
powers before the apology is accepted
or refused, there seems to be a long
way to go before diplomatic relations
between the Ottoman government and
the allies can be resumed.
Meanwhile a report comes from Con
stantinople of the seizure of another
Russian steamer and that Bulgaria,
which has been asked to choose the
side on which she would fight, had
commenced to mobilize her second
line troops.
Martial law was proclaimed by
Great Britain throughout Egypt. An
official notification by the British
charge d’affaires at Cairo was deliv
ered to American diplomatic agents
there.
On orders from London, the cam
mander-in-chief of the British forces
took command of the general situa
tion, with orders to suppress all out
breaks.
The German cruiser Karlsruhe has
added three more British steamers to
her list af captures in the Atlantic.
Armored Trains Used.
Berlin. —Fighting on the northwests
orn flank is now of a particularly sav
age character. A considerable propor
tion of the wounded suffer from bayo
net thrusts, which often pass com
pletely through parts of the bodies of
the men.
The Germans along wide Btretches
of the battle front of northern France
have removed the civilian population,
thereby stopping the enemy's main
sources of information. The hostile
artillery which iii the earlier strug
gles along the Aisne showed a cer
tain superiority In its firing as a re
sult of this information, is now work
ing to less advantage.
The Germans are making much use
of armored trains, particularly in as
certaining how far the railroads are
in operation into hostile districts and
in bringing up supplies of ammunition
and provisions through dangerous
country. These trains in many re
spects are superior to armored auto
mobiles.
The progress of the battle along the
northern French front is regarded here
as highly favorable.
NAME GUTIERREZ
RULER OF MEXICO
FORMER GROCER ELECTED BY
CONFERENCE AGAINST PRO
TEST OF CARRANZA.

■ 111
WAS APPOINTED PROVISIONAL
GOVERNOR OF SAN LUIS PO
TOSI BY GEN. CARRANZA.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
El Paso, Tex. —The conference of
revolutionary chiefs at Aguas Cali
entes has disregarded General Car
ranza’s protest and elected Eulallo
Gutierrez provisional president of Mex
ico, according to offical report reach
ing the border.
Gutierrez was appointed provisional
governor of- the state of San Luis Po
tosl by Carranza at the beginning of
the Constitutionalist revolution. He
Is regarded, however, as more of a
sympathizer with Villa In the present
controversy. Gutierrez took the field
at the head of his troops, operating
largely around Saltillo.
The naming of Gutierrez as head of
the convention of chiefs and acting
chief executive of the nation came as
a surprise. He previously had not
ben mentioned as a possibility for the
office.
The new president of Mexico comes
of the lower middle classes. Before
he became a revolutionist he was a
grocer.
In the voting at the convention
Gutierrez received eighty-six votes.
His nearest competitor was Gen. Juan
Cabral, the Sonora commander, for
whom thirty of the delegates voted.
Mexico stands today as a country
with two claimants of the executive
power. One of them, Eulallo Gutier
rez, named at the Aguas Calientes con
ference, was elected to serve only
twenty days, the shortest term of of
fice in the history of any republic.
The other, Venustiano Carranza,
now in power at the national capital,
has not recognized Gutierrez as sup
planting him as choice of the conven
tion of chiefs which previously had re
tired Carranza and Villa, his political
and military opponents.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Phys*
cal Health.
The experience of Motherhood Is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
.woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how. to properly care for her
-gelf. Of courso' nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert,
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received ashock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
