The Days
War NeIUs

England Ia confronted with the
necessity OF energetic action, ac-
cording to advices today from
Berlin to protect its interests in
the near east. A report from
Cairo to Berlin is to the effect
that the movement against Brit
in Egypt has assumed formidable
proportions, 10000 Turkish
troops being on the march toward
the Suez canal.
In the hostile army, opposed by
long lines of British forces in
trenches, 1t is said that there are
10000 Bedouins- Interest is at
tached to this report chiefly be-
cause of the recent proclamation
Of the sultan OF Turkey calling
upon Mohammedans the world
over to rise to arms against Great
Britain and the other members
OF the triple entente.
The destruction Of German
battleship is reported in Paris.
The Wilhelm der Crosse is said to
have been sunk by mine in the
Baltic. but there was no confirma-
tion Of the report.
An official communication from
the Russian army of the Caucasus
tells OF further heavy fight
Ing By the Russian forces which
have invaded Turkey, but gives po
indication of the outcome.
The situation in Russian Po-
land was as much of a mystery as
ever. Private dispatches from
Petrograd make further state
ments that Russia has over
whelmed the Germans, but they
are not confirmed officially.
Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian
commander, reports successes in
several engagements, but says
nothing to indicate that the de-
cisive blow has been struck.
On the western battlefield
there was continued calm. The
British fleet is said to have re-
sumed bombardment of German
positions on the Belgian coast.
Along the front the fighting ap-
parently was limited to small
skirmishes.
The German attack In Belgium,
Just north of the French border,
continues, although not with
sufficient force to indicate that
the expected news attempt to
pierce the line and force way to
the English channel had been be-
gun in earnest. Only one infan-
try attack was made in that re-
gion yesterday. and 1t was re-
pulsed, says today's French Off
cial announcement.

Talk OF legislation that will consolidate
Omaha, South Omaha, Dundee, Florence

Omaha is to the effect that something
along this line will be worked out by
the Douglas delegation the coming win
ter.
Just what form the colsolldation law
will take is what is being debated, as
several collateral questions enter into IL.
The law now on the statute books per-
mits consolidation when a merger propo-
sition is favorably voted on by majorities
In each of the cities or towns affected,
but as nothing has been accomplished
by this means some new device Is being
demanded that will pull It across either
by the legislative ediot or by petition.
Expressing himself tho other day,
Mayor Dahirnan declared, II am in favor
of consolidation. but am not IN favor
of taking any of the suburbs In until
they all come In. want to DO the whole
Job at once"

studying the legislative time tables, as
they govern ordinary laws and eIner-

they take effect.

Senator Quinby openly favors immediate
consolidation. 1T would not be fair, %
says he, TO invite Us out In Dundee to
come into. Omaha, and then keep us out
until after you have chosen the managers
Of the municipal corporations for three
years to come. We want to get It, but
we want also to get In in time to have
