That men cannot be wholly and

Tuesday evening when the Mems

were set at $50 until the food was
practically all gone there was a steady

Harlow family, which may we'll be
called one OF the most musical fam
lilies of the city, rendered a concert
on instrumental music, and the in
imitable Sam Freeman, with his clever
dialect representations and his funny
stories added the humorous touch to
very pleasant and well planned oc-

the gathering broke up and it went
down on record as one OF the most
pleasant functions eyer held under the
auspices OF the league.

TURKEY BACKED BY GERMANY"

London, Nov. 10, 11,25 p. M.-The
diplomatic correspondence from the
British embassy from Constantinople
relating the events leading TO war
with Turkey, was issued tonight in
the form of a white paper. The cor
respondence which begins Aug. and
closes Nov. 4, portrays the Grand Viz

proving no match for his war :.linis-

Turkey at the outset according to the
white paper, with grievance, but
this soon assumed minor Importance,

Mexico City. Nov. 10.-Generals GEM
handing $4,000 men in this neighbor-
hood were relieved of their commands
today by Gen. Venustiano Carrauza
because they refused to nullify their
actions when they signed an agree
ment to abide by the decisions of the

these are Gen. Benevide, commanding

Gen. Juvenio Robes and many others.

toward the capital which 1t is said
they have been ordered to take in
the name of Eulalio Gutierrez. Be-
tween them and their goal is Gen.
Pablo Gonzales who is loyal to Car
rama. 1t is expected that clash of
arms will occur there. In the capital
there are $1,000 according to official
figures under Gems. Blanco and AL
varado. Fighting of severe char
acter continues in the suburbs of the
capital. Persistent attacks are being
made on Xohchminilo and San Anger

Importance. This means that the
high plateaux, including the Chomin
Des Danes, probably has been occu-
pied and will give the allies the hot
ly contested position on the plateau
of Vregny, northeast of scissors,
which is believed to be the key to the
Aisne situation. This plateau, once
taken, can easily be held, as 1t is

which flow tributaries of the Aisne.
The heights from this point to Cra-
onne are believed to be held by the
allies.
In Alsace the Germans have suffer-
ed a marked defeat as their attacks to
gain vantage points on st. Marie
Heights, have been fruitless. The sit
uation here, it is stated, becomes
more serious every day. as the only
available roads running east and west
are in possession of the allies and
unless the Germans succeed in break
ing through and joining the main ar

that a prominent EnSlishman ex-
planned when an American asked why
the soldiers did not stir the populace
to demonstrations.
The wealthy classes have given VI,
their luxuries and their pleasures
without grumble. All the gay life has
vanished Half the theatres are clos
ed Most of those which keep going
are giving American plays. and oth-
ers are producing REVEALS and old
plays because they cannot afford to
spend money on mounting new plays.
Society has disappeared. There Is
no social columns in the newspapers
because there are no social events to
record. There is no dinner giving and
there are no balls or shooting parties
on country estates. Following the
hounds has been abandoned. There
is plenty of money yet, but there Is
no desire to spend 1t in foolish ways.

humble close at 10 O'Clock. Drinking
champagne is as strictly tabooed as

Paris, Nov. 10, 7.o5 A. Mitigating
from land dune to sand dune, ham,
pered by thick fog banks and at times
crawling on hands and knees through
high grass, the advance Of the allies
along the Belgian seacoas1 continues,
according to reports received here to-
day. The advance on Monday was
somewhat slower as the Germans, aft
er two DAYS retreat and rest. again
resumed the offensive. The allies, how
ever, presented stonewall offence
and the Germans again were forced to
retreat.
The region around Ypres is the scene
of the greatest activity, as the Ger
mans apparently wish to take posses
sion of the territory between LaBassee
and Newport, which is considered of
great strategical importance.
Although the advance yesterday was
only slight this should not be depre-
ciated, in the opinion of the leading
military critics, but rather acclaimed
at it's full value, and it appears that
now, after many retreats, counter
marches and interminable delays,
the allies advance has begun in real
ity.
The critics say it is impossible TO
pay too high tribute to General
Joffres policy which, unfortunately.
has been hitherto criticized by those

London, Nov. 2.-tCorrespondenc of
Tho Associated Press1.-Two months
ago a London newspaper described
England as "a country half awake"
Since then England has become ma
ton fully awake. This awakening has
been more of an inner than surface
change. The most remarkable feature
of recent British events has been the
entire absence of excitement with
which the country has passed from
condition of profound and thoughriess
peace to military status which per-
vades all the activities Of life ard
seems almost to have brought npon
the scene q harder and soberer ma
tion. Sports, politics, society. have
disappeared from the columns OF
newspapers, from the talk OF the peo-
pie and have almost vanished from
existence.
The contentious word "Suffragette'
has disappeared from the English vo-
eabuiary The suffragfst bodies have
turned their efficient organizations to
the care of Belgians and other war
victims. The suffragist papers, Ike
many others supported by special In
terests, have suspended publication.
PEOPLE read about nothing but the
war.
Home Rule is forgotten topic for
debate. except for echoes of recrimi-
nations coming from few die-hards.
All that is left of the absorbing pas
sion for sport is the football games,
and a majority Of the first class pro-
fessional teams are drilling in the
territoriaIs and Kitchener army And
it would be a brave man of military
age who would be seen carrying his
bundle of golf sticks on the street
these days.
Streets and trains everywhere are
flied with soldiers. Khaki is con-
spicuous in all the restaurants. Re-
cruits are drilling in all the parks IN
public squares, on the lawn OF the
Temple where barristers work ana
live, in all the little open spaces among
the stately law courts and in the
court yard of the National Academy,
sacred to art and science.
Companies Of recruits, some fully
uniformed and shouldering their rifles
others in civilian clothes and bare
headed, march along the streets. These
squads usually sing as they march.
The people stop to look, but strange
ly enough to the American spectator
there is never any cheering. This is
not apathy, It is the English way. The
Briton has sentiment, but he conceals
it carefully. I'VE feel too deeply for
