TURKISH MINISTER
OE WAR EXPLAINS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.--
The state department announced the
Turkish minister of war explained to
Ambassador 'Morgenthau that it was
necessary to fire three shots to warn
the Temessee's launch against enter
ing the mined section of Smyrna har-
Dor. The Smyrna commander first
fired two blank shots.
Smyrna's Commander Expresses Re-
gret Such Measures Were Necessary.
Morgenthau's report adds: Turk
ish sentinels, after waiting two min
utes were obliged to shoot in another
direction from that Of the launch, the
latter being fred merely to prevent
the launch's helmsman from holding
his course which led directly upon
the mines at the port and rescue him
from certain danger. The Smyrna
commander expressed very great re-
gret such obligations were presented
to the sentinel, which he attributes
to the helmsman's indifference.

GERMANS CRUSHED.

PETRoGRAD, Nov. 27.-Russians
are clamoring for official conform
alton of the great victory the Russians
gained in Poland. Every detail receiv-
ed increased the extent of the VIC
tory.
1t is declared that not only was Won
Hinderberg crushed and his forcces
divided, but when Won Makensen's
army went to Hinderberg's relief it
was also routed.
1t is asserted that the German lines
south of Plock were cut in two and
the Russians drove wedge in the
enemy's line between Plock and
Lowicz.
The southern half of the German
army is endeavoring to cut its way
through to the south.

SHIP HITS MINE

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The admiralty
announced that the British collier
Khartoum struck mine off Grams

Secret Inquiry Into Bulwark Disas-
ter Started.
A secret inquiry into the Bulwark
disaster has been started. This vessel
was one Of the largest in the navy
and its construction cost England
s5,000,000. That the disaster was the
result of an internal explosion, is gem
orally discredited. Experts declare the
only way they can explain the acci-
dent, outside of external causes. is
from the use Of deteriorated ammuni-
tion, md this is considered extremely
unlikely. The admiralty contends that
the explosion was the result of in
ternal causes. The rumors are that
German spies or submarines are re-
sponsible.
Newspapers criticize the govern
ment for lack of vigilance.

The 1914 season has been one of
