CARGO OF FOOD SUPPLIES
 FOR STARVING RELGIANs
To be Sent From New York to Rotter-
 dam at Earliest Possible Date

New York, Oct. 30.-A special steam CT carrying a cargo of food supplies for the starving Belgians will be sent from New York to Rotterdam at the earliest possible date. 1t was announc ed today by the Belgian relief com mittee in this city. This decision was reached after several days cabling with United States Ambassador Page in London and Minister Van Dyke in Holland. following arrangements with the American committee in London.
 From Rotterdam the cargo of food will be distributed by means of effec- tive organizations just completed. The London American committee is open ing offices in Rotterdam, Brussels, Ghent, Lege and other points.
 The American London committee already has purchased. at an outlay of about s500. 0.o0o, and has distributed in Belgium. $9,030 tons of food.
 Sufficient food supplies are unof,- ta1naDie in London and Ambassador Page re-cabled to the Belgian relief committee in this city it's latest remit tance of $50.000 intended for the pur- chase of supplies.
 As adequate quantities of food can be furnished only in this country and can best be shipped from this city. the Belgian relief committee here has placed itself at the disposal of anyone who wishes to use it's services. The supplies most needed include wheat. rice, beans and peas
 Direct advices received from the
 committees representatives indicate that the news report of conditions n Belg1um are extremely conservative Ambassador Page said in a cable mes sage today:
 Need in Belgium cannot be exas- gerated. Owing to shortage of food here and in Holland. it is imperatiy .
 that a supply be started from the United States trnmediateIy.''

EMDEN SANK FRENCH
 TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER,
Which Was Pursuing Her After Sink.
 ing of the Russian Zemtchug.

Paris, Oct. 30. 11:14 p. m.-Advic- es received here today show that it was the French torpedo boat destroyer cruiser Zemtchug, was sent to the bottom yesterday at Penang, Strait Settlements. by the German cruiser Emden.
 Another version of the affair is giv- en in the Matin. This says that the Emden etered Penang disguised as a Russian warship flying the Russian colors and skillfuD'y concealing her identity until she got well into port. Then, oceording to the Maths core spondent the Emden suddenly hoisted the German flag and opened fire on the Zentchug. which. taken by sur prise and unable to defend herself, was sunk in a few minutes.
 The Emden then dashed out tosea with the Mousquet courageously fol- lowing her. The torpedo boat des- troyer tried to torpedo the cruiser but the fight was too unequal and the Mousquet was sent to the bottom.
 The correspondent adds that all the cruisers of the allied fleet in the vicin- ity of Penang, notably those of Japan, are now pursuing the Emden.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Turlxey's at- tack on Russia, reports of which were confirmed in official dispatches to the American government and the Russian embassy here, was viewed by officials and diplomats generally here today as likely to produce the gravest compli- cations throughout the Balkan states, northern Africa and Asia Minor.
 The announcement of a state of war between Russia and Turkey was ex- pected eventually to bring into the list of belligerents Greece and Italy, fol- lowed by Rounfania and Bulgaria
 Ambassador Morganthau at Con- stantinopIe, in a brief cablegram late today, made no mention of a declara- ton of war by Turkey on Russia, but said the British ambassador had in- formed him of the bombardment of Odessa by three Turkish torpedo de- stroyers and the sinking of a Russian gunboat. Previously Charge DAffaires Wilson at the American embassy at Petrograd relayed a message from the American consul at Odessa, stating that in the bombardment Of the town some American property was destroy ed.
 With these dispatches andd previous indications from the Levant, officials feared the long-expected confagration in Turkey was at hand They pro- posed to use the American cruisers North Carolinss and Tennessee to aS- sist American missionaries, if neces- sary,; and to set in motion measures of relief for Americans similar to those begun when the first f1atious of Europe were plunged sinkos war

Mexico City, Oct. 30.-The resigna- ton of General Venustiano Carranza as provisional president and first chief of the constitutionalist army, based on the condition that Generals Villa and Zapata retire to private life, was read to the peace convention at Agua- scalientes today. In the document General Carranza even expressed a willingness to leave the country if his absence would tend toward the re- establishment of peace.
 Message Caused Turmoil.
 The message caused a turmoil in the convention hall and at one time spectators tried to intervene and break up the meeting. Order was finally re- stored and business proceeded. What action, if any, was taken on the res- ignation was not known here this eve- ming.
 Tn demanding that Villa and Zapata retire, General Carranza said:
 Questions Villas Motives. There is a greater ambition than that of being president of the re- public and that is to hold such mill itary omnipotence as to permit sone way to oversway all powers of union. The insistency of General Villa in keeping command of a division sup- posed to be all powerful. and at the same time pretending to re-establish at once constitutional order upon the
 basis of the old regime is clear in- dication that the dream of this chief is to constitute himself arbiter of the destinies of Mexico with the facul- ties to appoint a president, elect a congress, designate a supreme court and rule the government of all the states. am ignorant of what the

 Fourteen Washed Ashore.
 Fourteen bodies had been washed ashore this evening. Rain was falling in torrents, gale was blowing and the seas were mountainous when the vessel hit the rocks.

FOR RECEIVER FOR
 EASTERN sTEAMstsIP coHr
Fog and Cold Weather Had Cut Down
 Passenger Reosints.

Boston. Oct. ao.-The pefit1on for a receiver for the Eastern Steamship corporation filed in Portland todaN was not unexpected by those in touch with the affairs of the cor5poraxion. According to officials, conditions dur ing. the summer were unfavorablef to business. fog and cold weather cut ting down passenger recefpfs greatly throughout the. season. In common with other transportation interests, it is said the company has been faced by constantly increasing expenses in every department. In particular, the requirements as result of the Titanic disaster. relating to the number of lfeboats and restrictions as to the number of persons carried are safd to have interfered with the earning c2- pacity of the boatst.
 The corporation was organized as g subsidiary of the New York, New Has- ven and Hartford. which, by the re@ cent agreement with the federal au< thoritfes,s is required to divest itself of it's interests in the corporation on or before July. 1917.
 During the past two years the cor poration has spent large sums in the improvement of the property with the expectation, it is said, of having its floating indebtedness looked after by the New Haven.

ROOSEVELT SAW PLANS TO
 CAPTURE AMERICAN sEAPoRTs
By Two Nations Now involved in
 European War.

Princeton, N. J., Oct 3o.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt told the students at Princeton in an address today that he had seen the plans of two empires now involved in the European war to capture great American seaports and hold them for ransom.
 'It is this country's ambition" said Colonel Roosevelt. ito put itself in such shape that it will be able to de- fend its rights if they are invaded. I, myself, have seen the plans of at least two empires now involved in war to capture our great cities and hold them for ransom because our standing army is too weak to protect them. I have seen deliberate plans prepared to take both San Francisco and New York and hold them for ransoms that would cripple our country and give funds to the enemy for carrying on war"

washington. oct, 3o--Viewing crtd- it loans to belligerent countries as private transactions. the Washington administration will not attempt to in terpose it's influence against such transactions on the part of American bankers. This was learned on the highest authority today after it be- came known that German flnanciers were contemplating the establishment of a credit loan in this country similar to the $10.0o0.000 credit fund negotiat- ed by the National City Bank of New York and other bankers for the French
 The decision of thet washington ad- ministration may lead to the purchase in the United States of about $50,000.- 900 worth of supplies by Russia aul an equal if not greater amount by Germany. Details Of the expected transactions are lacking here.
 High officials of the Washington ad- rninistration insist that President Will son has not changed his view, an : nounced at the outbreak of the war, that the loaning of money to belliger- ents would be .inconsistent with the true spirit of American neutrality.'1 A distinction was drawn by officials, however, between the loans referred to at that time-suchs as bond issues offered for public sale-and credit transactions intended as a checking account agaInst the pufeAASea Dy pet- hgerents of foodstuffs and supplies; from American firms.

 The president realizes that this gov- ernnnent has no legal right to oppose loans of any character nor is there any obligation of international law forbidding them.

Washington Oct. 3o-No date has been~fixed for the withdrawal of fed eral troops from the Colorado mine strike district. according to statements made today at the war department. Governor Ammons said yesterday that he had received iritimations that the troops would be withdrawn Novem- Der Is. but it was said by officials here that no plans for such a step has been arranged. .-'s.' ,
 President Wilson has received re- peated requests that he close down the mines in the strike zone unless the operators accept the settlement plan agreed to by the miners It is under stood that he investigated the legality of such step. Repeated reports that he might decide to close the mines caused the issuance of the follow ing statement from the White House today:
 Tt is not true that the president has in contemplation any plan for the closing of the mines in Colorado"
 The miners have claimed that if the federal troops are withdrawn, rioting is almost certain to follow, while the operators have told the president that they are employing as many men as possible and that they are having no trouble with their present employees.

BRITISH NAVAL OPERATIONS
 ON COAST OF BELGIUM
Report Says Superiority of Naval
 Gunnery Seems Established.

Washington, Oct. 3o.-The British embassy today made public an off, cial report of the naval operations on the coas. of Belgium. It was dated a. m. today and follows:
 "The British naval 1otilla continues to support the allied left since the morning of the 27th. The fire of the 12-inch guns has been brought to bear upon the erman positions and batteries. Reports received from shore testify to the effect and accuracy and to it's salling character. The flank thus thoroughly maintai-ed yesterday and the day before. The enemy brought up heavy guns and replied vigorously to the fire of Ad;niral Hoods ships. Vessels received only trifling struc- tural damages.
 To-day the opposition from the shore practically ceased. The pre- ponderance of naval gunnery seems to be established. Casualties were very slight throughout"
