Washington, Oct. 31.-The
Turkish minister of finance in

at Constantinople that the raid
of Turkish warships on Russian
seaports took place without the
knowledge of the Ottoman gov

the influence of German Off

Morgenthau added the Russian am

Ambassador MOrgenthau'S dispatch

HODGES IN Topeka
Governors Last Word at the
Auditorium Tonight.
He Will Defend Record of His
Administration.

Governor George H. Hodges will to-
night defend his record as governor and
the work of the administration when he
closes the campaign for Shawnee coun-
ty Democrats in speech in the Audi
torium. 1t will be his first speech in
Topeka during the present campaign
and will mark the close Of a days trip
through Shawnee county in behalf Of
the state and county ticket
Coming into the capital city for his
last political speech save one, Cover
nor Hodges will tonight take up the
charges that have been lodged against
his official record. He will defend the
work of the 1913 legislature and will
tell of the accomplishments Of his ad-
ministration. Speaking in the home
town of two of his gubernatorial op
ponents-Arthur Capper and J. B. BIZ
lard-it is probable that the Demo-
cratic governor will bring special mes
sage to Shawnee county voters.
Not since the Saturday night pre-
ceding the election of 1912 has Gov
ernor Hodges delivered a political
speech in Topeka. His ability as a
public speaker has developed greatly
in those two years and in the cam
paign just closing. Governor Hodges
has been rated as one OF the most
able and effective speakers on the
stump in Kansas. In nearly IS coun-
ties of the state, he has told his story
has carried his message direct to the
voters. explaining that the Democrats
have found it necessary to meet the
charges Of the opposition press from
the stump. since they possessed no
statewide publication of Democratic
tendencies through which to tell their
story.
In his trip in Shawnee county today.
Governor Hodges is accompanied by
William H. Thompson. junior United
States senator from Kansas, and J. B.
Chapman OF Atchison. Democratic
candidate for congress from the First
district. n number of county candi-
dates accompanied the party on a trip

yer, Wakarusa, Berryton and Rich
land.
The meeting in the Auditorium to-
night will begin at s o'clock. Gov
ernor Hodges and Mr.. Chapman will
be the principal speakers Senator
Thompson will deliver q short talk
and will preside at the meeting.

Judge Gary Says All That Is Neeces-

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 31.-A trib-
ute to the honesty and fairness of the
American newspaper man was paid by
Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of
the board of directors of the United
States Steel corporation, at a dinner
given in his honor by the Birming-
ham Newspaper club.
"I hi. We been obliged to come into
contact with the newspaper fraternity
for the last fifteen years." said Judge
Gary. land from my experience I can
say that II business men treat news
paper men right they are always
truthful. Experience has been that
if you will treat newspaper men fair
will be frank and honest and give
them the truth and the opportunity to
publish the truth. they will do it hon.

Not in years has Kansas witnessed
such a stubborn off year campaign as
has been waged in the state this fall.
Personalities have been matters of light
concern to the campaign orator and
personal and official records have been
dealt with in a manner that is un-
usua1Eeven in q Kansas fight. With 1t
all, the average voter has but little to
say. He has listened to the arguments
of the stump speaker and maintained
the silence of Sphinx.

for United States senator and governor.

next Tuesday.

AS BERLIN SEES IT
Germany's Official Bulletin on
State of the War.
Developments Around Verdun
of Great Importance.

Berlin, Oct. 31.-(WireIess to Say
lle)-Information given out for the
press in official quarters today is ar
follows: Military experts of the Ber-
lin newspapers consider that yester-
days developments around Verdun
were of the greatest Importance and
say there is promise of their resump-
ton with renewed strength. In the
fighting south of Verdun, the French
are straining every effort to crush and
drive out the army which the end of
September penetrated as far as st.
Mihiel and which for a month past
has been fighting hard to hold the
ground gained. The Germans have
now captured the main position. and
their forces are operating from the
direction of Toul. The French attack
from Pont-a-Mousson also was with
out result. Attention can now again
be directed to the original object of
this campaign.
THE opening of naval hostilities by
Turkey promises to divert the atten-
ton of the Russian forces which have
been campaigning in Poland, where
they were able to concentrate superior
forces against the armies of Germany
and Austria. Nothing new has been
reported from Poland.
Austria announces officially that the
Russian advance against the Austrian
position in the region of Turka has been
repulsed.
[Turka is in Galicia 2S miles south
southwest Of Sambor.l
Special dispatches to newspapers
from the Servian front report that an
entire Servian regiment under Colonel
Ivanoff walked into trap at Vishe-
grad They had been informed pre-
viously that the Servians still occupied
this place. This was not so and the
regiment was quickly surrounded and
surrendered without resistance.
German military authorities deny as
fables, almost all the statements re-
garding the German 16 inch howitzers
which are being circulated in Germany
and abroad. The tests of these guns
began six years ago and German ar
tillery men have been trained in the
use of them for several years past. The
secret of these guns was preserved with
remarkable success

A nation saved, a race delivered!
These are the noble lines Of q noble
poet, written in the sternest days Of
the great Civil war, when the writer,
Lowell, was one among the millions Of
men who mourned the death in battle
Of kinsfolk dear to him. No man ever
lived who hated an unjust war more
than Lowell or who loved with more
passionate fervor the peace Of right
eousness. Yet. like the other great
poets Of his day and country. like
Holmes. who sent his own son to the
war, like gentle Longfellow and the
Quaker whittier. he abhorred unright-
eousness and ignoble peace more than
war. These men had lofty souls. They
possessed the fighting edge. without
which no man is really great: for in
the really great man there must be
both the heart Of gold and the temper
of steel.
