TURKEY BECOMES
A COMBATTANT
Russia Takes Immediate
Steps to Meet the Pre-
sent Situation.
BALKANS WILL ENTER.
Turkish Question Expected to be Set
tied Once and Forever Now That
Sultan's Hat is in Ring.

Petrograd, Oct. 30-Russia has ac,
cepted Turkeys participation in the
war in enthusiastic fashion.
High governmental officials oday
declared that the Gar and his ad
visers welcome the opportunity tc
settle for all times the entire Tur-
kish question. Already steps have
been taken to meet the situation.
Orders have been sent to theBlack
Sea fleet to search out and destroy
the Turkish squadrons now operat-
ing against Crimean and Caucasian
ports. At the same time the troops
which have been held in readiness for
this expected event will move shortly.
No official declaration of war has
been received in Petrograd yet, Ac-
cording to high officials. Communica-
ton with Constantinople has been in
terrupted and no word has been re-
ceived from Russian embassy to tell
whether the ambassador and his staff
have been handed their passports.
DISPATCHES from them, however. are
momentarily expected.
At the British embassy in Petro-
grad it was said that there can be
little doubt now that the entire Bal
kans will be involved in the war.
Burgaria and Roumania, 1T is SAID,
must now decide whether they Will
attempt to continue an unpopular
neutrality or will seize the oppor-
tunity once for all to end Turkey as a
nation. Officials believe that Rou-
mania and Bulgaria will strike against
Turkey soon.
The reports of Turkish activity are
for the present, confined to the fol-
lowing:
Two destroyers, flying the Turkish
flag. shelter theouter harbor at odessa
sinking a Russian merchant steamer,
The Turkish cruiser Breslau. secu-
red from Germany, appeared OFT the
entrance Of the harbor of TheodesSa,
Caucasia, and sent two officers ashore
to demand the surrender OF the city
The Russian governor made the two
officers prisoners Of war and refused
the demand. The Breslau then bonn,
barded the outer docks, dong con-
siderable damage and killing one SOL
der.
The Turkish cruiser Hamidelh ap-
peared off Norossysk and Immediate
" afterward the Turkish consul gen
eral there demanded that the town
surrender to the warship. He was ar
rested, and Immediately atterward
the warship withdrew.
The Turkish battle cruiser Goeben
secured from Germany, torpeooeo
and sunk the Russian steamers laltS
and Kakbek. in the outer roadstea'
at Kertch, Caucasia.
