Turkish Ambassador
on Way Back to Porte

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. Rustem
Bey. the Turkish ambassador, has left
Washington for New York, and today
is on his way to Turkey. In a state
ment before leaving the ambassador
said that he was quitting the United
tates on leave of absence, at his own
initiative. He explained that this
step, which he had undertaken with
out comforting with Ills government,
with which he had not been in COM
munication, was the result OF the at
titude OF the United States toward
statements he had made comparing
lynchings in the United States and
the water cure" in the Philippines to
massacres in Turkey.
When government officials indicated
that an expression of modification
of the ambassadors views would be
welcomed by the United States, Rus
tenn Bey notified the secretary OF
state that his opinions were I'M
changed, and he took leave of abb
sence.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-"No news could
be more suspicious for the Russian
plans,'' says the Petrograd corre-
spondent of the Times, than the news
now received that the enemy is ad-
vancing in force from Silesia. 1t was
feared that, having entrenched in the
line from Kalisz and CZenstochowa,
he would await an attack, but it Is
now expected that the main blow of
sthe Germans will be directed towards
the upper reaches of the Vlstula.
1.-THE plans of the Grand Duke Mich
olas, the Russian commander, are not
known, but IL may be surmised that
the Russians will take full advantage
of the splendid defensive line of the
Vistula For the complete overthrow
of the invaders, 1t is essential that
they should advance as far as posi-
bic from their base of operations, es-
,ecially at this season when the roads
are practically impossible.
1.-THE fighting at Uzsok Pass in the
Carpathians, was so fierce that there
was no time to bring up ammuni-
ton. Nearly 1000 guns were In action,
but the rifle fire was SO strong at
times it seemed to drown the ar
tillery.
THE Austrians obstinate defense
of the pass caused them fearful
losses. Entire companies were wiped
out by the Russian fire and piles OF
Austrian bodies choked the trenches
many being interlocked in the death
struggle with the bayonet."

Vienna Fears Invasion
by Russia, Is Report;
Public Funds Guarded

VENICE. via Paris, Oct. 3.-Latest
reports from Vienna show that the
population is seriously alarmed over
the possibility of Russian inva-
sion.
The report is being circulated that
the work of transferring state treas
ures and archives already has begun.
While this report appears to be UNI
founded II is significant as showing
the state of the public mind.
Prices for many articles of food
have taken a sudden jump, especially
in the case of vegetables. which are
selling at double and treble the ordi-
nary rates.
1t was declared that farmers, espe-

er prices. The premier has promised
that the government would do its
utmost ito prevent such exploitation
of the consumers.

BRITISH AWAIT
MASTER STROKE
Though Germans Near Belgian
Front, London Fears Strug-
gle to Come.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Though the Ger
man right is less than fifty miles
from the Belgian frontier, never since
the outbreak of the war, apparently.
have the people of Great Britain been
more reconciled to the idea that the
struggle yet to come will be long and
terrible.
When the Germans first began to
retreat after their rush toward
Paris hope ran high that some master
stroke would bring complete rout to
the invaders. Now. however. many
observers emphasize that. even should
the so-called battle line be termi-
mated, the Germans would only fall
back on equally strong entrench-
ments
There Is nothing from the French
battle line this morning to indicate q
marked change in the situation. The
fiercest fighting apparently still
centres on that part OF the battle line
stretching due north for about forty
miles In an almost straight line from
Roye.
The vicinity of the little town of
Albert has again been the scene of
vigorous action, where the allies claim
progress, and, though 1t seems in
credible. the latest announcements as
serted that the remainder of the vast
line was quiet, with the exception of
the region around st. Mihiel, from
which the Germans were driven from
their southernmost lodgment.
Petrograd Claims Cuccesses.
From Petrograd there continues to
pour in uninterrupted claims of Rus
sian successes on the frontier of
Poland: but from Galicia. where the
Austrian forces are at death grips be-
fore Chacow. has come nothing to in
dictate which side has taken the first
honors in the preliminary skirmishes
A belated dispatch from Copen-
hagen asserts that Emperor William
has recently been at Breslau, where
he decided on a four-fold offensive
movement against Kovno, Warsaw
Lods and Galicia. When this was
under way, it was added. he expected
to return to the western theatre of
war
From the southeastern tip of Cali

news of the advanced Russian forces

Doubt German Move Antwerp.
British critics seem unable to agree
as to whether the recent revival of
German activity in Belgium means a
serious attempt to take Antwerp and
other points, or whether the opera
lions are merely intended to harass
the Belgians and prevent them from
tampering with the German lines of
communication.
Vienna, according to roundabout
dispatches, purporting to emanate
from the Austrian capital. is prepar-
ing for a siege, and there is even talk
of removing the seat of government.
The decision of the admiralty to
mine a certain area of the North sea
has given England an added feeling
of security. While no alarm has ever
been manifested heretofore the move
is hailed as one shielding the Dover
straits and the channel without in
terfering with the southern exit from
the Thames or the routes to 0stend,
Dunkirk, Calais and Boulogne.

CALLS PICTURES
Of WAR FAKES"
License Inspector Ward Re-
ceives Many Complaints of
Movies Misrepresentation.

In spite of the warning given local
motion picture managers and owners,
several new complaints were received
today by License Inspector James
w. Ward, stating that several places
are showing fake pictures of the
European war and using fake post
ers. Mr.. Ward declared that all Of
tenders will have to answer to the
advertising committee of the Com
mon Council.
Early in the week Mr.. Ward sent
out circulars asking all moving pic
ture men to refrain from exhibiting
war pictures, as 1t Is claimed that
they might incite the minds of for
eigners attending the performances.
John Hancock, secretary to the al
dermanic committee on advertising
grants, while en- route to the City
Hall this morning, found real Of
| fender, he reports.
Mr.. Hancock declares that in front
of the motion picture house of Nor
ris Feltman, at 305 Market street,
there were five boards announcing
that real fighting pictures would be
shown today. These boards were
labeled with pictures showing cav
airy charges and other pictures sup
posed to have been taken abroad.
Large headlines were spread across
the boards. Mr.. Hancock demanded
that Feltman cover the captions. This
was done.
During the last several weeks many
complaints have reached the city
clerks office about fake" pictures
being shown. In many cases it was
declared that the movie" men use
all kinds of advertising methods to
induce the people to patronize the
theatres, believing real war pictures
are to be exhibited.
The complaints also state that the
pictures shown are old ones, taken in
this country and makeup" films.
The matter will be taken up with the
advertising committee at Its next
meeting on Tuesday.

HIS MOST ANXIOUS MOMENT.
When Dewey Feared hs Might Be
Branded az q Coward.

Admiral Dewey tells in his autobi-
ography the story of his most anxious
moment. 1t was when he was execu-
tive officer Of the warship Mississippi
After passing the forts mt New Orleans
his ship was about to sink under fire.
and the crew had to be taken Off In
boats. There were not enough boats,
and the danger Of a magazine .explo-
sion became SO great that the crews
showed increasing hesitation in return
ing for another load. On sudden i'm
pulse Dewey jumped into one Of the
boats to go after the rowers and COM
pei them to return. He continues:
mot until we were free of the ship
did / have a second thought in realiza-
ton of what / had done. l had left
my ship in distress when 1t Is the rule
that the last man to leave her should
be the captain. and as executive OFF,
Ger should be next to the last.
"That was the most anxious moment
of my career. What If shot should
sink the boat? What IL rifle bullet
should get me? All the world would
say that l had been guilty Of about as
craven an act as can be placed at the
door of an officer. This would not be
pleasant reading for my father up In
Vermont. He would no longer think
that l had done the rest reasonably
well. If the ship should blow up
while was away and should appear
on the reports as saved probably peo-
pie would smile over my explanation"
As it turned out. however. the maga-
zine did not explode. and Dewey's
presence was needed to bring the boat
crews back and save the men still on
the sinking ship.
