RAILROAD WIRELESS.
U. p. Official Says Trains VIII Be Dis
patched without Wires Soon.

Chicago, Ill. Oct. 31.-Wireless tele-
phonic train dispatching will soon be
adopted by American railroads. said
DIR. Frederick H. Millener of the Union
Pacific Railroad. Passengers on a train
at Omaha will soon be able to talk by
wireless with friends in New York.
DR.. Millener who has made a study
of wireless communication, before the
Association OF Railroad Electrical En-
gineers convention in the Hotel LaSalle
said that the Union Pacific Railroad is
prepared to dispatch trains by wireless.
Communication between trains and
stations, according to DR.. Millener, ID
now possible by means Of his own in
vention. a telephone capable of commu-
nication by wire and wireless. The
space between the train and the wires
is bridged and the sound wave travels
along the wires to the stations. Tho
German army is using wireless commu-
nication between scout automobiles and
the main camps. he said. III the space
between trains ana wires can be
bridged why cannot tho space DO Wild

Shaw having stumped the state for the
"cause." There Is also prohibition
fight on a constitutional amendment
which would make counties units in
liquor elections which would do away
with cities voting wet in counties
which are dry.
In Colorado the coal strike is entering
very greatly into the fight. Senator
Thomas was attacked for his attitude
on the sugar section of the Underwood
tariff law but he has had the anvant-
age OF a strong endorsement by Presi-
dent Wilson. The fight seems to be
chiefly between the Democrats and the
Progressives with the outcome in doubt.

The Democrats have used this allega-

is opposing Senator Brady. the present
incumbent. claims that he is certain to

On the Pacific Coast.
On the Pacific coast the fights in Cal
ifornia, Oregon and Washington are all
interesting and bitter. The women vot-
suit there. In California the existence
Of the native wine industry hinges on
the outcome Of the voting on the prohi-
bition amendment. The interest in this
fight is intense. Both the vets and drys
nave sent the best Of their orators
into the state and they have not over
looked q single hamlet. Governor john
son Is being opposed for reelection by
Captain John D. Fredericks of Los
Angeles, Republican, who came into
fame as the prosecutor Of the Nc
Namaras, and by John B. Curtin. DEM
ocrat. For the senatorship the fight is
between Francis J. Heney. the Progress
sive candidate; Representative J. r..
Knowland, the Republican candidate,
and James d. Phelan. the Democratic
candidate.
In Oregon, Senator George E.
Chamberlain. the Democratic sena-
torial incumbent, is opposed by Will
liam Hanley, the Progressive, and r.
A. Booth, Republican. The fight for
the governorship. however, overshad-
owed the senatorial contest. There
are six candidates.: F. NJ. Gill, Pro-
gressive; Will e. Purdy, non-partisan:

and James Withycombe. Republican.

and making a universal working day
Of eight hours.
In Washington the big fight has
been on the prohibition amendment,
with both sides arguing its merits.
In the senatorial contest Senator Wes-
ley L. Jones has been bitterly opposed
by Ole Hanson. the Progressive, and
w. W. Black, Democrat. The attitude
Of Senator Jones in the trials of Sena-

ly into the fight here.
These are the most spectacular of
the fights. In the other states the in

they are hardly OF as much national

Slight Chance That She May
Stay Out Of War.
No Declaration by Government

England Makes Sultan's Course
Plain In Conflict.


London, Oct. 31.-Interest in the
Turkish situation Is increasing in In
tensity as a result OF the failure OF the
porte officially - declare war on Rus
STA Despite the sinking OF the Rus
sian gunboat Donets. the damaging OF
several other vessels and the destruc-
ton of much property in Odessa har-
Dor and the other overt acts by the
Turks reported from various Black sea
points, the Turkish government has not
assumed official responsibility.
The Turkish ambassador is reported
to be still in Petrograd and to be en-
devoring to influence his government
to disavow the action of its warships
and to preserve peace by promise Of
an indemnity. The diplomatic repre-
sentatives of Great Britain and
France at Constantinople were report
ed to be making It plain to the sultan
and his advisers that war with Russia
OF necessity meant war with the al
lies.
There Is. however, only the slight
est hope that Turkey will be kept out
of the war. The young Turks are ad-
mittedly in control. They are fanat-
ically pro-German and they believe
that Turkeys only hope of 'resuming
her place in the situation" is to throw
her weight with Germany and Austria.
CircumstantiaI stories from Rome de-
heard of q naval battle between the
Turkish and Russian fleets. But there
y no confirmation of this and Rome
news has been singularly unreliable
during the present war.
England is in readiness to prevent
any invasion of Egypt by the Turks, II
she Is drawn into another field Of hos
tiiities.
What About Other Units?
There has been much mystery here
over the whereabouts of the Austral-
ian and New Zealand units which
have been at various times reported
on the firing line. 1t is now under
stood that they are in Egypt and have
been guarding the entire length of the
Suez canal for several weeks. In ad-
0ttion. certain first line troops have
been quietly sent to Egypt to reinforce
the garrison already there and so far
a. England is concerned it is stated
that every precaution has been taken
TO meet any emergency that might re-
suit from any action Of Turkey.
1t il considered certain that the present
peculiar situation cannot last very long
IL Is believed here that Russia has al
ready demanded through the Italian am
oAssador at Constantinople. which has
assumed charge of Russian affairs in
turkey. an explanation of Turkeys in
tentions. This should reach Petrograd to-
day. Meanwhile. the Russian Black sea
neet Is protecting the Russian coast and
unless Turkey disavows all hostile acts
aAd Immediately recalls her fleet the hos
tile war vessels must son clash.

GERMANS PLAN
TO FALL BACK

has decided that the army in Poland
shall fall back to the frontier of Sile-
sin and remain there on the defensive
until the battle in Flanders ends with
the capture of Calais. Such a move
ment would release three or four
army corps to be transferred from
Silesia to Belgium.

land. one section at a time, the re-
treat OF each section endangering the
position of the section next to 1t on

ers to have been successful every
where except on the extreme Russian
left where the Austrians still main
tain the positions they. succeeded in
rAtaking from the Russians.
On the Prussian Frontier.
Along the frontier OF East Prussia,
the Germans are fighting stubbornly to
prevent another invasion of their ter
rttory at q point further south. It IL
argued here that the Russians cannot
expect to assume a full offensive move
ment until the Austrians are driven
back from the river SAN But even this
will not mean an immediate invasion
OF Germany as 1t is known that the
Germans. in preparation for a possible
retirement. have established heavily
entrenched positions along the river
Wharf.-The.
Speculation as to effects Of the posi-
ton taken by Turkey varies widely. In
some quarters 1t Is argued even that
the acts OF the former German cruisers
9oeoen and Breslau will be disavowed
by the Porte. but the well authenticated
news OF the departure Of the Russian
eHbassador from Constantinople seems
to commit Turkey beyond recall, De-
layed kilograms from Constantinople in
dicated as late as last Wednesday that
the British ambassador there had re-
ceived assurances that Turkey was de-
tormined to preserve her neutrality.

Chief of COnstitutiOnaliStS Sends Med

Invitation Only to Mediate
With United States.

Washington, May 29.-The relations
between the United States and Car
rama are hourly becoming more
strained. 4 a
The two most important develop
ments of the day in the Mexican
problem lend themselves 20 no other
Interpretation.
Judge Charles A. Douglass, general
counsel for the constitutionalists,
undertook to find out from official
sources if there was any truth in the
report from Niagara Falls that the
representatives of the United States
and Huerta had reached an agree
ment on certain details in plain for
the pacification of Mexico. He was
informed that no such agreement had
been reached.
Judge Douglass also conferred with
Secretary of State Bryan and Envoy
Lind. After the conference he made
statement, in which he holds that
the conferees at Niagara Falls have
no right to formulate an agreement
looking to the pacifcation of Mexico
and the settlement of her affairs
without consulting CarranZa and al
lowing him voice IN any agreement
made concerning Mexico. If such. a
program is agreed upon, Judge
Douglass said, the United States might
face condition that might mean war
with the constitutionalists.
ConstitutiOnalists Defiant
The other development of the day
was the discovery that the message
which Carranza has sent to the medi-
ators at Niagara Falls by Juan
Urguida, is practically~a reiteration of
his position as he gave it to them sew
eral weeks ago.
Carranza informed the mediators
through Urguid that at present he has
no invitation before him to send dele
gates to the mediation conferences,
the previous invitation having been
withdrawn; that if a second invita-
ton is extended to participate in the
settlement of the controversy between
the United States and Mexico he will
probably accep, but that he will not
