ENGLISH MINISTER'S SAY THEY
ARE PREPARED FOR A
LONG WAR.

London, Nov. 12.-That England
is prepared to carry on the war in
| definitely with every confidence in
| the result was the tenor of the
| speeches at the annual banquet in
| augurating the new lord mayor of
London, delivered by the men who
| are responsible for the conduct of
the war.
Notable speeches were made by
| Prime Minister Asquith, Field Mar
| shall Earl Kitchener, secretary for
| war, and Winston Spencer Churchill,
| first lord of the admiralty. Lord
| Kitchener, whose massive figure clad
in service costume lowered above the
| audience of a thousand men and
| women in the historic building, while
| expressing satisfaction at his call for
| men and progress of the military
| training impressed upon the nation
that the war would be a long n and
| would require more men and still
| more until the enemy Is crushed"
He also made a quiet reference TO
| England's army which he said has
| proved itself TO be not so contempt
| BILE an engine of war as some were
| disposed to consider it," and remind
! ed his hearers that the enemy would,
besides the enemy in the field. have
to reckon with the forces of the great
| dominion, the van guard of which
has arrived in England in addition
to the million and a quarter men now
training in this country.
Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the admiralty, told OF the
work of the navy and continued:
1T Is difficult to measure the full
influence of the naval pressure in the
early stages of the war, but it will
spell the doom of Germany as surely
as winter takes the leaves from the
trees"
As to the losses suffered he said
The punishment we receive is
clear and definite; the punishment
we infict is very often not seen and
when seen very often cannot be
measured. But time will tell
The first lord also pointed out that
| despite the losses the navy was
stronger in every way than at the be-
| ginning of the war.
Premier Asquith, who devoted
much of his speech to the wal with
Turkey said it meant the death knell
of the Ottoman domination, not only
in Europe, but in Asia.
He too predicted that the war
would be a long one, but said that
nothing would daunt their hopes nor
impair their resolve and that Eng
land would not sheath the sword un-
| til Belgium had recognized all that
| she sacrificed; until France had been
| secured from the ena of oppres-
| sion and until the military domino
| ton of Prussia had been destroyed.

to Warn Tennessee'S
Launch of Mine.
EXPLANATION MADE
BY WAR MINISTER
Wilson Administration Appar.
emily Satisfied and Ready
TO Close Incident.
From The Trlbun. Bureau.

Washington, Nov. %. - Secretary
Bryan announced tonight that he had
received cablegram from Ambassador
Morgenthau in Constantinople TO the
effect that the Turkish Minister of
War had explained to him that the rea-
son for the Turkish fort at Smyrna
firing shots on the approach of the
launch from the American armored
cruised Tennessee on November l6 was
that the craft was approaching
sunken mine. IL was asserted that the
shots were not fired in the direction
Of the launch. and that the launch was
signalled in warning before the shots
were fired.
The announcement by Mr.. Bryan is
taken TO mean that the administration
If apparently satisfied with the explana-
ton and is ready to close the incident,
although the Secretary Of State failed
TO disclose the full text of the ambas-
sador's message or TO give any reason
for the necessity of Captain Decker,
Of the Tennessee, going in the launch
TO Smyrna, despite the fact that the
naval officer reported that Consul Hor-
ton feared for the safety Of the con-
sulate.
SO far as has been announced by
Mr.. Bryan, the administration is still
in the dark as 10 conditions in Smyrna
and other parts of Turkey whore Amer
leans are believed to be in danger be-
cause Of the feared "holy war; While
circumstances surrounding the firing
of shots when the Tennessee's launch

Prince Troubetzkoy Sent
as Envoy to Reconcile
Servia and Bulgaria.

Petrograd, Nov. 26. A significant
appointment has just been made by the
Foreign Office in the sending Of Prince
IrubetzkOy as Minister TO Belgrade.
The prince for many years has been
director Of the Foreign Offices Near
Eastern department, and formerly was
Councillor of the Embassy in Constan-
tnople. The princes mission will con
sist mainly of trying to bring about
some settlement of the differences ex-
listing between Servia and Bulgaria.
Bulgarla'S strict neutrality does not
SUIT the Russian plans, nor does lt
meet the approval of a large element
Of the Bulgarian population, which. on
the whole. is Russophile The Bull
garisns have not forgotten that they
owe their independence to Russia's in
tervention and armed force. Prince
Trubetzkoy has been working for the
desired end IN Petrograd, but il is be
lieved his personal efforts at Belgrade
VIII bring about a Speedier solution.
At present there is an impasse. Both
the Servian and Greek authorities are
very bitter against the Bulgarian min
listers, whom they openly accuse Of
supporting the many Bulgarian raiders
now active IN Macedonia. The Servians
further maintain that Bulgaria gets a
subsidy from Austria 20 equip raiding
parties. and that therefore Bulgaria
is lighting indirectly against Russia by
weakening the Servian forces. Prince
Trubetzkoy does not conceal his opin-
ion that his task is most difficult

London, Nov. 27. "The Times's"
correspondent in Copenhagen says:
"A we'll informed and trustworthy
