TURKEY PLANS TO
WAGE HOLY WAR
England and Russia Claim
They Are Prepared for
Such an Emergency
BERLIN DEFENDS
SULTAN'S ACTION

London, Nov. 2-War has not yet
been formally declared on Turkey, but
the withdrawal from Constantinople
of the ambassadors of the triple en-
tente powers is regarded in London as
being equivalent to signal for hos
tiitties which Turkey has anticipated
by naval raid in the Black sea and,
it is reported by a land expedition
which penetrated into Egypt
Evidence accumulates that Turkey
intends to proclaim holy war. AM
ple measures, however, it is asserted,
have been taken by Great Britain and
Russia against this probability, and 1t
is evident that the first trouble is ex-
pected to arise in Egypt, where, 1t Is
said, the Khedive intends to ask Great
Britain for an explanation of her attl-
tude towards Turkey.
Berlin claims that Turkey was fore
ed to throw in her lot with Germany
because the porte recognized that an
entente victory would mean the dis
ruption of the Turkish empire, with
Constantinople, Armenia and Turke-
stan going to Russia; Arabia to Eng
land and Syria to France. On the
other hand, in the event Of the defeat
of the triple entente nations, Turkey
was to be guaranteed territorially to
be given aid in conquering the eau
casus and Egypt and be given, per
haps, something more.
Conflict Inevitable.
The usual charges and denials are
being made as to the responsibility for
the first attack in the Black sea, but
these are issued chiefly for consump-
ton by the neutral countries, since
the inevitability of the conflict was
recognized by both sides. The princi-
pal actors are not greatly concerned
over which nation fired the opening
shot.
The battles on the sand dunes along
the Belgian coast still drag on. Ad-
vances by either side are only for a
short distance and at fearful cost.
Farther east, the allies claim to have
penetrated to the north and it is be-
lieved they have reoccupied Lille.
Other reports say the allies daily
are creeping nearer to Ostend, which
even now hardly can be said to be
occupied in a military sense but as
long as the Germans hold the river the
town does not need any considerable
force to retain it,
Another report says that a large
German force was cut off from the
main army when Belgian bicycle
corps blew up bridge and that many
thousands of the invaders surrendered.

GERMANS OCCUPY
5000 POSITIONS
PURSUING RUSSIANS ARE STOP.
PED WHEN THEY CATCH UP
WITH THE ENEMY.

Berlin, Nov. 2.-Oficial reports from
the western front show little change
in the situation in northern France OF
in Belgium but events in Poland
would appear to be shaping them
selves for a renewal Of the fighting
between the main forces of Russia
and the Austro-G German allies.
"The Austrians and the Germans
have completed their retirement to
new positions previously selected by
them. When the vanguards of the
Russians, who were following them
came into touch with this new line
there were several encounters, in
which the Russians were driven off.
The Austrians in southern Galicia
have succeeded in crushing back the
Russian left flank, which for several
days had been making desperate
stand in carefully prepared positions
The Russians employed the pause in
the fighting after the Austrian retire
ment from this region to entrench
themselves. They built strong field
Notifications, which were made more
difficult of access by the broken ma,
ture Of the country. Consequently it
was hard task to eject them. The
Austrians claim a complete victory
and report that the enemy was driven
from all his positions.
"The Austrians also report further
success in Bukowina. They have re
tanned their hold on Czernowicz
against a Russian attack, and they
have defeated a Russian force to the
north of Kuthy.
"a British report of the loss of the
British cruiser Hermes last Sunday
was made public here this afternoon
No particulars, however, were given
"a dispatch received here from Con
stantinople says it is understood the
Turkish government will neither ex
pei the subjects in Turkey of the pow.

SALOON BUSINESS
IN CHICAGO POOR

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Licenses of 500
saloons in Chicago, it was estimated,
will be permitted to lapse today, the
first day of the semi-annual license
period because Of business conditions
resulting from the fifty cents addi-
tional war tax on each barrel Of beer.

the saloon business here at present Is
the quietest in the last twenty-six
years. Saloon licenses which legally
could be purchased for $1,000, but
which were sold by brewers and own
ers for $4,000 to $4,000 two or three
years ago, are plentiful, Mr.. Legnes
said.

War Situation
BHeHp Related

The renewed assaults Of the
Germans, which have led in the
last few days to the most violent
fighting of the war, are still pro-
crossing with fury almost unpar-
alleled. Official reports from
Berlin and Paris agree that the
deadlock continues.
Confidence Of Germany is re-
f.ected in the words OF Emperor
William. "Under all circum-
stances the enemy will be beat
en-" he said, addressing one OF
his regiments. Berlin states Of.
ficiaIIy that the situation Is re-
oarded as the most favorable OF
some time, although it gives no
new details.
The French statement is equally
hopeful in tone. The allies are
said to have made slight progress
at various points, including the
blood soaked fields Of Flanders, IN
the vicinity Of Dixmude. On the
center and right Of the allied lines
assaults of the Germans are SAID
to have been repuIsed.
Apparently Turkey is now DEF
inateIy involved in the general
war. The British government to-
day handed the Turkish am
bassador his passports. There
were similar action by Russia.
Goeben and Breslau, German
cruisers acquired by Turkey, ana
four Turkish torpedo boats are
reported to have renewed their
bombardment of Russian towns in
the Crimea. The presence Is re-
ported Of Turkish gunboats at the
entrance Of the gulf of Suez and
Turkish troops at an Arab village
on the gulf.
Bulgaria, facing the alternative
Of opposing her former protector
Russia, or fighting with her
enemies, Greece and sefvia, has
decided, according to a message
from Sofia, to remain neutral.
Heavy fighting has been resum-
ed along the Adstro- Seryian border
According to official advices from
Vienna, the Austrians crossed the
Save and Drina rivers, drove back
the enemy and occupied several
towns. This is disputed by Ser
vians, who state that the Austrian
attacks were repuIsed with heavy
losses. All accounts agree that the
loss Of life in the fighting Of the
last fortnight has been tremendous.
The fighting has been largely in
the open, exposing large bodies Of
troops.

nit the receipt and slaughter OF
cattle, hogs and sheep in this mar
a ket. The effect Of this is to place
the situation where It was Satur-
day.
Chicago. Nov 2-The Union Stock
Yards, largest in the world, and the
state of Illinois as well, were quaraa-
tined against the shipment of lcattle,
hogs and sheep on orders from Wash
ington today The phesence of hoof
and mouth disease was discovered
Saturday at Chicago.
DIR. S. E. Bennett, chief of the local
branch of the United States bureau OF
animal industry at the yards, said:
'This means the practical cessation
Of the meat packing business at the
yards for the time being
So far as present indications go the
big yards at Kansas City, Omaha, st.
Paul, st. Joseph and other places will
be able to care for much of the bust
ness shut out from Chicago.
There are enough cattle. hogs and
sheep at the local yards to keep the
packers busy for few days. What
will happen after that, cannot, it is
said, be accurately predicted. 1t is
thought that the quarantine will last
at least month. One hundred in
spectors are now working In Illinois,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan. Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Nebraska and other
states.
Mr.. White amplified an earlier state
ment and predicted that the embargo
would be raised in week. In any
case, he said, enough dressed meat Is
in the market to satisfy the demand
for several months.
