London, Nov 3.-Turkey is making
frantic efforts to keep out of the
war.
1t is stated in diplomatic circles
that the grand viZier rendered to
the powers on behalf of Turkey an
apology for the acts of the Turkish
battleships in their raid on Russia
Black sea ports. Although no official
statement has yet been made on the
subject. the report is given credence
generally.
While negotiations for Turkish ex-
trication from her belligerent situa-
ton were proceeding. a combined
British and French squadron in the
Gulf of Techechme hunted down and
sank two Turkish warships. They
were the Turkish gunboat DUDE
Kreiss and the Turkish armed steam
ship Kinaliada.
Passports Held Back.
1t was officially announced that the
Turkish ambassador to London had
been given his passports. Shortly aft
erward it was stated by the attaches
of the office of Sir Edward Grey, min
lister of foreign affairs, that the report
was premature.
Then came a visit of the Turkish
ambassador to the foreign ministry
for a lengthy conference, after which
it was said that Turkey would sever
her German connection and would
cease all hostile activity.
A Reuter- dispatch from CONSTANT
nople says that Turkey has already
invaded British soil. Two thousand
armed Bedouins are reported to have
entered Egypt.
Would Be Eleven Powers at War.
London, Nov. 2.-If Turkey throws
its lot with the triple alliance, and Il
Portugal is counted there now are IL
powers-Great Britain, France, Russia,
Germany. Austria, Belgium, Servia.
Montenegro, Portugal, Japan and Tur-
key-at war, with prospects of four
more-Greece. Bulgaria, Italy and
Roumania-being drawn in.
The note which Great Britain pre-
scented to Turkey on Friday. demand
ing an explanation of the actions of
the Turkish feet in the Black sea and
the dismantling of the former German
cruisers, the Goeben and the Breslau,
was really an ultimatum to which Tur-
key was required to make reply by
Saturday evening"
So far as is known here, telegraph
ic communication with Turkey be-
ing interrupted. no anwser was made.
and the ambassadors at the Turkish
capital. II is understood, demanded and
received their passports.
Neither Russia nor Great Britain
was unprepared for this move by
Turkey, which, government officials
say, was known to be under the influ-
ence of Germany. and the allied pow
ers have forces on hand ready to OPP
pose a Turkish invasion.
Six hundred German officers have
arrived in Turkey since the war be-
gan. They brought siege guns, field
guns and ammunition with them.
1t is computed that Turkey has
from 100000 to 100000 men ready to
take the field. The German officers
put the number at 100000.
The menace of Turkeys action lies
in the possibility of a holy war" BY
Mohammedans against Christians. She
undoubtedly will attempt to incite to
revolt the great mass of Mohammedan
subjects of Great Britain in Asia and

The CHARM

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or UNI
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism united for the
trial of strength, and when it is oven.
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following.
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, ard a distinct
change in the mother results.

happy and healthy mother of children,

that, With all the evidence of shattered
nerv IS and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am.

will persist in going blindly to the trial.

GRADE RAILROAD CROSSINGS.

A universal and ever-present danger
to human life which is certain to re-
ceive the attention Of legislators in
Iowa is the grade crossing. Travel is
increasing on the highways and when
the roads are finally in such general
condition that automobiles may be used
every day In the year. as autos increase
in numbers the matter Of grade cross
ings becomes more important. 1t has
always been an important matter The
list of dead at Iowa railroad crossings
would be an astounding total OF late it
has largely increased and will continue
to increase with the increase Of high
way traffic and the increasing number
Of railway trains. 1t has been greatly
increased by double tracking where
double tracking has been done and as
all the trunk lines are double or to be
doubled will still further increase I'M
less surrounded with every precauuon.
In every place where it is possible
railroad crossings should be over or
under. OF course all crossings can not
be changed from grade to safety and
those where complete safety is possible
can not be changed Immediately. But
the sooner the matter is taken up and
some plan of rapid change decided upon
the better for all concerned. II a period
of FIVE or ten years were set wherein
all crossings where over or under is
feasible are to be changed the process
of reconstruction would begin at once.
1t will not begin until something OF
that sort is done by the legislature.
One thing that can and should be
done Immediately is to establish an
electric signal at all crossings and to
place Waterman at the congested and
most dangerous places. It Is true that
such signals do not always work and
are subject to the defects OF all ma
chinery but they help. and they might
very easily be supplanted by danger
lights at night on each side OF the
crossing operated after the same
fashion as the beH.
But there is only one logical and GER
tainly safe plan which is to cross OFF
the grade and over and under and there
are hundreds of dangerous crossings
where this may be accomplished. 1t will
cost railways and highways something
to make these viaducts but they are
worth the money. There Is no waste
so criminal, no saving so expensive as
that made at the cost Of life,
Following out the slogan Safety
first" let's get busy with the grade
crossings Of Iowa.

II will be remembered, OF course
that the books concerned In the Ne"

The Stevens bill seems to have been

be that If any bill is passed. that the

There are some readers who think
newspa pers should cut out all accounts
OF police court proceedings and kin

to this question. In a democratic form
Of government we must rely on the
general intelligence of the men in the

be well informed. They must know
how the other half lives. Crime and
vice erow and thrive in secret. The
facts concerning conditions must be
given the public. But they should be
given as facts and in their proper
place and not as sensation and ex-
elusive features. The good newspaper
of the present day is the one that has
