ALLIES AGREE ON
FIGHT TO FINISH
GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND
RUSSIA WILL WAGE WAR TO
THE BITTER END.
Representatives OF Three Great Ma.
lions Sign an Agreement Which
Prevents Peace Unless by Mu-
tual Consent.

An agreement has been signed by
Sir Edward Grey, British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, and the
French and Russian ambassadors at
London, In behalf OF their respective
governments, that peace shall not be
concluded separately during the pres.
emit war by any one OF the three
allies and that no other of the allies
will demand conditions OF peace with
out the previous agreement of the
others.
Diplomats OF the allied powers in.
terpreted the agreement as a deter
mination on the part Of Great Britain
and Russia to wage their warfare in
every quarter, irrespective OF re-
verses in France. From all parts OF
the globe colonial troops are being
gathered by England.
Hope that the gathering strength
OF the triple entente might yet i'm

naming neutral was revived among
diplomats, though there was a com.
plete absence of advices from Con.
stantinople. That the allies had en-.
deavored again to convince Turkey
OF the necessity OF preserving her
neutrality, as reflected in the
London dispatches. dovetails with re
cent advices to the American govern
ment.
Officials and diplomats at Washing

TURKEY CANCELS
ALIENS PRIVILEGES
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF GENERAL
WAR TO ASSERT HER
INDEPENDENCE.
Abroeates Treaties by Which All For
eisners in the Ottoman Empire Are
Entitled to Trial by Judges Of
Their Own Nations.

Washington. Turkey formally mott.
fed the United States and the nations
of the world on Thursday that she
lad abrogated the series OF conven-
tlons, treaties and privileges original
ing as early as the eleventh century,
whereby foreigners In the Ottoman
empire have been exempt from local
jurisdiction In civil and criminal
cases Foreign subjects no longer
will enjoy what is known az extrater-
ritorial rights, through which they
have been tried by their own judges.
diplomatic representatives or consuls.
This practice, abolished by Japan
several years ago through the nego-
tiation OF new treaties, Turkey has re-
moved by stroke of the pen. Her
purpose, II is declared, is to assert her
independence and free herself from
the domination OF the great powers.
Upon the rights revoked has rested
the legal status OF American mission
aries in Turkey. permitting them to
maintain churches. hospitals and
schools In religious freedom. Admin.
istration officials declined to discuss
the effect OF the action on American
missions.
AS early al 1866 the sovereigns OF
Constantinople granted charters Of ex-
traterritorial privileges called "capitu-
iations" from the fact that they were
divided into chapters. The Venetians
were the first granted the right OF
trial by judges appointed in Venice
and permanently residing in Constan-
tinople.
Immediately after the young Turks
gained control OF the government. the
powers were sounded as to possible
abrogation OF the capitulations. The
reply was favorable, II being held that
the new regime should justify It's abil-
fly to govern wisely and administer
justice fairly before the powers would
surrender the rights under which their
citizens In Turkey were protected.
Thursdays declaration. 30 far as
known, was not prefaced by any sucn
discussion with the powers.

SUBMARINE SINKS PATHFINDER.
British Admiralty Believes Torpedo
and Not Mine Destroyed Cruiser.

London.-That the German navy
has not been without enterprise is re-
vealed in the admiralty announcement
on Thursday that the British cruiser
Pathfinder was destroyed Sunday by
German submarine, not by a mine
as was at first supposed. The Ger
man craft which ventured so far from
its base is given credit for its enter
prise.
Another mine disaster, the victim
OF which was the tramp steamer OF.
tawa, has been added to the list. and
the ACCESSIBILITY of closing the North
sea to merchant shipping is being dis
cussed.
Both England and Germany would
suffer through strangulation OF their
trade, England losing food supplies
from Scandinavian countries, while
Holland promised to be Germanys
principal avenue of commerce with
the outer world.
