RUSSIAN C0NSULS WILL Be HELD
IN TURKEY UNTIL SAFETY0FITS
OFFICIALS HAS Been ASSURED

genthau's dispatches of any declara-
tons of war. Communication with
Constantinople was interrupted late
last night and the last message which
was dated II p. NJ, Der. 81. referred
only to fiscal matters of the embassy,
mentioning incidentally that conditions
in the capital were quiet.
The only positive statement that
war had been officially declared be-
tween Russia and Turkey came in a
private message from a business house
in Constantinople to its home office
in New York, transmitted by the
American embassy yesterday.
Servia's request to the American
government to look after her inter-
ests in Turkey was regarded as par
ticularly significant, forecasting the
intention of the Balkan monarchy to
throw her forces into the field against
the Ottoman Empire once more. The
decision of the Porte to detain all Rus
sian consuls in Turkey was viewed as
n consequence of the arrest of Turkish
consuls in Russia, when the raid of the
ports on the Black sea was made by
the Turkish navy.

FRENCH REPORT

Paris, Nov. 1905 P. NJ
The French official statement
issued at 3 o'clock this after
noon says:
"There is nothing new, to re-
port on the Newport and Dix
nude front.
"The Germans have continued
their fierce attacks throughout
the region to the north, east and
south of Ypres. All of these at
tacks have been repulsed, and
we have made slight progress to
the north of Ypres and progress
ed perceptibly to the eastward
of this locality.
"At daybreak, hostile forces
debouching from the Lys, sue
ceeded in seizing Hollebecke and
Messins, but these two villages
were retaken toward evening
by vigorous counter-attacks on
the part of the allied forces.
Upon the rest of the battle
front yesterday was marked by
violent cannonading and several
unsuccessful counter-attacks of
the enemy, which were intend
ed to recover the ground con-
quered by us during the last few
days.
"Thc struggle is still very vio-
lent in the Argonne region
where the Germans, however,
have made no progress.
According to statistics fur
nished by our service in the rear,
1858 German prisoners were in
termed during the week of Octo-
Der 1920 alone. These figures
do not include the convalescent
wounded in our field hospitals
nor the detachments which are
ready to be sent from the front

lowing announcement:
"On the East Prussian front
our troops are progressing in the
region of Wladielawow Govern
ment of Suwalki) and the forest

"The German attacks in the

PARTIES STRIVING TO ELECT
CANDIDATES FOR GAINS IN
CONGRESS NEXT TUESDAY
November Sees Finish of Warm Contests in
Many States-31 Elect Senators

New York, Nov. 1.-Chief interest in
the elections Tuesday centers in the
~truggle for the control of the next
Congress, heightened by the fact that
all successful candidates for the Sem
ate as well as the House will be
chosen by direct popular vote. The
fact that 81 states will elect senators
makes the contest Tuesday the real
inauguration of this new phase in gov
eminent. A careful analysis of the sit
uations in the diffecen. states would
seem to indicate that the present
small Democratic majority of FIVE in
the Senate is safe one as the Re-
publicans would have to make a gain
of six to get control and there are
only seven states outside of the Solid
South where the present Democratic
seats are being defended. In the House
21S members are necessary for ma
jority. The present Democratic sand
ing is 2S5, Republican 122, Progressive
Republican 2, Progressive 10, Independ-
ent l and vacancies 6, which seats
were last occupied by Democrats. To
change political complexion of the
House opposition parties must main
tain their present strength and win 6s
additional seats.

SUNDAY IN EXPIRATION FOR THE
FINAL SPEECHES BEFORE ELECTION

Boston, Nov. 1.-Most Of the candidates
for state offices and for Congress at Tues
days election rested today in prepara-
tion for the final round of speechmaking
tomorrow. While the campaign has been
an energetic one on the part of the NOM
inees and other stump orators, 1t has
been somewhat overshadowed apparently
by the war. Tomorrow rallies will be
seld in several of the larger centers of
population. and final whirlwind tours will
be made through this city and the SUBJ
urbs In the evening.
The Democratic state ticket tonight ex-
pressed confidence that Gov. Walsh would
be reelected and strong hope of retain
ing control of other state Offices wrested
from the Republicans last year. Con-
gresham Samuel w. McHale, the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nominee, also has is
sued a hopeful statement, expressing his
belief that he would receive not far from
oOo. 900 votes and would be elected.
The Progressives declined to make any
specific prediction, but continued their
campaign work vigorously. Joseph Walk
err the Progressive candidate for govern
or, addressed a rally here tonight, en-
phaszing in his address the stand which
the party in the state has taken in ma
tonal prohibition. Gov. Walsh and other
Democratic candidates addressed a meet
ing in Roxbury during the day. discuss
ing state and local issues. For the Re-
publicans while states issues have not
been neglected, the campaign orators
have laid stress on alleged results of the
new tariff and other measures of the ma
tional administration. This year Repub-
lican leaders say they expect to carry
minor places on the ticket If they are not
able to elect a governor, and also hope
TO maintain control of the Legislature.
Spirited campaigns have been conducted
in all 16 congressional districts.

Governors in 20 States

Governors are to be elected in 29

Efforts of the Democratic party to
retain control of the lower House of
Congress and of their opponents to
wrest it from them have called for the
full strength of all parties. In few pre-
vious off-year campaigns have the fig
ures of the national administration
been engaged so strenuously. Presi-
dent Wilson has made no speaking
tours but has written many letters of
endorsement to Democratic candidates
in doubtful states. Most of the mem
hers of the cabinet have spent much
of the last fortnight in campaigning.

BOTH SIDES IN
r. /. CONFIDENT

Providence, f. l., Nov. Tonight
practically the closing night of the
campaign, found leaders of both of the
big parties confident of victory in
both state and congressional elections
Tuesday. Republicans predict the
election of r. Livingston Beckman as
governor by at least 5000 plurality and
with him the entire state ticket. AS
to the three congressman. two Of which
places are now held by Democrats, an
equal amount of optimism Is apparent.
The Democrats are equally confideiIs
of electing Col. P. H. Quinn, governor
but many concede the rest of the state
ticket to the Republicans. They ex-
pect, however, to return congressman
Gerry and O'Shaughnessy and claim
that Thomas P. Haven will defeat
Congressman Kennedy in the 3rd dis
trict. Several rallies were held in
various parts of the state tonight, the
principal one being big Democratic
gathering in Infantry hall at which
practically all of the candidates were
speakers.
