WHAT MAYOR HANSON SAID.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: 1t is stated
in The Republican Journal under the head of
Secret Societies. referring to the Knight Of
Pythias Jubilee tnat 1.-The principal ad-
dress of the evening was given by Mayor
Hanson, who began with address on brother
ly love that ended in political haraDgue." 1t
is true that Mayor Hanson made the address
and the only address of the evening But it
is absolutely untrue that politics were even
hinted at during the address. 1t was an able
discourse on the tenets of the order Of Knights
of Pythias-an order that politics does not en-
ter its castle hall--and why The Journal should
make such statement fail to understand.
The Journal will please correct this statement.

port given of this address by one who heard it.

London Times Welcomes
Turkey Among Combatants
Says Editoray That Doom of Ottomans Empire in Europe
Has Been Sounded.

London, Oct. 3O.-The Times, com.
menting today on it's Petrograd dis
patches, reporting the Turkish bonn
bardment of peaceful seacoast towns,
says:
'The situation in the near East has
developed logically. For some weeks
past the influences controlling the
Ottoman government have been work
ing to provoke the Allies into declar-
ing war on Turkey. These efforts
have been in vain, as the Allied pow
ers were determined not to be the
aggressors.
Met Acts Of Provocation.
'"They met acts of provocation,
like the incorporation of the German
cruisers, Breslau and Goeben in the
Turkish navy and the abolition of the
capitulations, merely by protests.
Then sort Of ultimatum was ad-
dressed to England regarding the
watch kept upon the mouth Of the
This also failed, but
finally the Turks began mild dem
onstration against the Egyptian
frontier, but they found all prepara-
tions made for an attack.
"NoW comes the bombardment Of
the Russian towns. 1t is believed
that the Sultan and some Of his ad-
visers favor a policy of neutrality,
but that they have been overborne by
the committee of union and progress,
which is bent on war.

BOARD TO outline
MILITIA Instructions

A state board has been named
which will determine the course OF
study to be pursued during the COM
ing year by the different state militia
companies. From this it would ap.
pear that the state will carry on it's
own course of instruction for officers
during the coming year, instead of
from recommendations from the war
department, under the direction of a
military instructor.
The board named is composed Of
Lieut.. 7. H. Tharalson, First Infan-
try; Major T. G. Patterson, medical
corps; Captain James M. Hanley,
First Infantry, and Lieut.. T. III. Tur-
ner, U. S. "A.
Officers of the North Dakota ma
tional guard have been requested to
send a recommendation to the adju-
tant generals Office as to the course
of study desired, and these, If con
sidered practical, will be accepted by
the state board and the company will
be allowed to carry out the course of
study they recommended.

RUSSIA TO
FIGHT ON
DEFENSIVE
PETRoGRAD BELIEVES TUR-
KEYS ACTION MORE I'M
PoRTANT TO ENGLAND,
RUSSIANS RIOT IN CAPITAL
Turkish Ambassador Regrets That
War Comes Between the
Two Nations.

Petrcgrad, Oct. 30.--ln the highest
official sources here 1T is stated that
Russia views the action of Turkey
in bombarding two unfortifed Rus
sian ports without a declaration Of
war as infinitely more important to
England than to Russia, on account
of the English COMMUNICATIONS with
India and her position in Egypt. AL
though Russia, it is stated, now has
a new war on her hands, her policy
will not he one Of general aggression
against Turkey, but merely defense
Of her own interests III the Black sea.
1t is pointed out that the Allies had
previously guaranteed the integrity
of Turkey only If she remained neu-
trail.
Farahdine Bey, the Turkish ambassa-
dor here, said tonight:
81 have had no instructions from
Constantinople, communication now
being cut, and have heard only from
the Russian newspapers about Tur-
key beginning war. ! am now in the
hands of the Russian government
whose instructions am awaiting.
81 am sorry that my labor to i'm
prove the relations OF the two coun-
tries has had so disastrous an ending.
What moved the sultan's government
to take this step is absolutely I'M
known to me. | am sure have moth
ing to fear personally
While giving this interview in the
Turkish embassy clamorous throng
surrounded the building, manifesting
against Turkey The people were re-
strained from violence by mounted
gendarmes.
Earlier the same mob paraded the
streets with barred heads, singing and
cheering. They called the orchestras
out of the hotels and demanded that
they assist by playing the national
anthem. The excitement in Petro-
grad is the greatest since the declara-
tion of war against Germany.
