II HE two outstanding features Of

admiralty Of Prince Louis of Battcn-
berg.
Ever since the war began the ltti-

and recent advccs from Constantuo-

Bombardcd Russian Town
Now comes word that "A Turkish
cruiser has bombarded tho Russian
seaport Of Thoodesa in the Crimea
ana that another Turkish cruiser has
threatened the seaport Of NovorosSysk
un the Black sea Under stress of
pursuit by British Warships, the Ger
man cruisers Gocben and Breslau
early in the war took refuge at Con
stlntinople. They were purchased
by Turkey. but the German officers
and crews were retained. Later they
sailed forth ana a warning was is
sued by Russia that should the Rus

May Rouse Balkans.
Meanwhile Turkey has been under
surveillance by the allies. Her ac-
ton in the present attack on Russian
scaports has not been explained, but
j is possible that her injection into
the war may bring to arms some of
the Balkan states which have up to

The retirement of Prince Louis Of
Iij1tonberg from the British admiralty
VIII be learned with no surprise. for
the British admiral who held the |
post Of the first sea lord has been the |
subject of a newspaper campaign be |
cause Of his Austrian birth ana his /.
German connection. In his letter OF /
resignation Prince Louis says he has /
been driven to the painful conclusion |
that his birth and parcntage has had |
the effect Of impdiring his usefulness |
on the board of admiralty and that he .
withdrew, hoping thereby TO facili- /,
tate tho task of administration to |
which he had devoted his life.
Same Old Story.
Along the battle fronts. both In |
Belgium and the north of France, |
and in the eastern arena, the same .
story is being told of indeterminate
actions. The British admiralty con
tnues to call attention to the effec-
tive service rendered by the warships |
off the North sea coast; the French |
tell Of German repulses and French |
progress; the Germans, speaking OF
the battles In France and Belgium de-
clare that ther progress Is entirely
satisfactory.
The Russian hosts are, according to
adyices. pushing the Germans and
Austrlans back This. to a certain eX-
tent Germany has admitted, but the
Austrians aver they are virtually hold

The report that Greece has taken
possession of southern Albania is
causing a profound impression in
Rome, but in Italian political circles
1t is believed that Greece will not be
supported by Great Britain and
France.
LONDON. oct. 29.-(s;5O p. MI
The battle of the User and the series
OF fights which has taken place along
the whole front in Belgium and
France appear with the troops now
exhausted, to have degenerated into
numerous isolated attacks and coun-
ter attacks. in which the gains and
losses are about equally divided be-
tween the combatants.
on that part of the battle front
nearest the sea, where the Germans
have delivered repeated attacks with
daily increasing forces, In their effort
to make their way to Dunkirk ana
eventually to Calais. and where the
allies have offered such stubborn re-
sistance. there has been another day
of comparative calm, and although
the Germans in their morning bulie-
tin. claim to have made some progress
to the south of Nieuport, the French
in their communication this afternoon
say there is no change.
Try Another Place.
In fact, as was expected, the Ger
mans seem to have transferred their
more serious operations further in
land and to be trying to break
through the allied lines from Lille,
which IL successful. would compel the
allies, who are holding the front
through Ypres to the coast. to fall
back toward Dunkirk.
However. nothing of great moment
Is likely to be accomplished until the
