TURKS AND THE JAPS
 ENTERING THE FRAY
ULTIMATUM TO TURKEY

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 17.-That Turkey will en- ter the great conflict partner of Germany and Austria within few days is virtually certain as she received what was practically an uItimatum from Russia this morning. Russia sent formal demand that Turkey allow Russian warshps to pass through the Dardanees une- restricted. The Russian fleets have been compelled to avoid passing through te DaraneleS since the Crimean war when Great Britain France and Turkey combined took SebasOpo and brought the Russians to terms The Russian fleet in the Blac practically useless unless it can get through the DardaneleS into the Mederran- ean To secure passage would be necessary for Russia to force the BosphorOus and practically to seize Consta- tnOpe after which the Turks could oppose the passage of the Dardanees itself AS the BOsphOrus and the Darda nees very strips of water lined with powerful Notifications the passage would be most difficult.
 Turkeys refusal will mean undoubtedly, and will mean another nation added to the German alliance while will also without question the entry into the war of Greece.
 In the meantime the Russian fleets in the Black sea have captured hundreds of German and Austrian trading ships most of which had information that had be- gun and had no time to get away.

NEGRO KILLS
 SIX WITH AXE
THEM ONE AFTER THE OTHER AS THEY JUMP
 THROUGH WINDOW

SPRING GREEN. Wis, Aug. l6.-- Crushing in the head of each with an axe as they escaped through a win dow. Julien Carleton, negro cook, yesterday took the lives of six peo- plc in a manner that has seldom been cuuallcd in the annals of crime. The only reason known for the act is that Carelton was rcbuked by some one in the bungalow of Architect Frank Wright. Going to the window of the bungalow he began to fire through 1t into a room in which nine people were seated at dinner. These people be- came panic stricken and jumped through the window which was the only one in the room. As each landed on the ground outside the fendish negro drove an axe into their hca(S and killed Mrs. Bouton Borth- wick, Wrights notorious affinity ani her two children.
 Carleton fled but was followed by a posse of farmers. Later he emerged from boiler in which he had taken refuge. The boiler was pretty not and the negro was nearly dead when he crawlcd from it. He refuses to say anything. Wright himself was absent from the bungalow at the time of the murder.

T. R. SAYS MONROE
 DOCTRINE SAVED US
Says Bryan's Peace Proposals Place This Nation Under Serious
 Difficulties

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Aug. 16.- Theodore Roosevelt, who was the principal speaker at the progressive state convention here today, declared in the course of his address that the Monroe Doctrine saved the United States from being involved in the present great war.
 He denounced the peace treaties of William Jennings Bryan which bind the United States to let all troubles with other powers be investigated by a commission before either of the countries involved may declare war. This system, the colonel said, made it possible for foreign nations to gain time for the strengthening of their defenses on the western hemisphere before the United States could take action.

Bic French Fleet Germans May Be
7hrey Scare Into Concentrating on
Austrian Forces Three Position
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Petrograd, Oct. 9.-(Via London)-
Russian observers of the campaign
along the Prussian frontier express
the opinion today that the Germans
who have been driven back the last
three days in this field of operations,
are concentrating in three defensive
positions west and northwest of Su-
wa1ki in a desperate attempt to pro-
tect NarggraboWa, which commands
the line of communications in all Iii
rections and the loss of which would,
it is argued here, preclude further Gec-
man activity in this region.
The Russian assaults, day and night,
according to Petrograd newspapers,
have shaken the German resistance at
this important point. The enemy has
withdrawn his siege guns and other
artillery, from Bakalarzewo almost as
far as Marggrabowa. (BakalarZewo
is ten miles northeast of Marggabowa
and fifteen miles west of Suwalki)
The capture of Austrian entrench
ments at Przemysl is regarded here as
the most important step up to the
present time in the series of actions
in this vicinity. There is no confirma-
ton here of reports of the commence
ment of the expected tremendous bat
tie in Poland.

INVOLVE CREDIT OF
THE GOVERNMENT
Declares Such Aid to the
Cotton Growers Would
Call for Similar Aid to
Every Industry in the
Country = Southern Con-
gresham Have Drawn 4
Compromise Bill for En-
aCtment.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Washington, Oct. 9.-The plan for di-
rect federal aid to the cotton growers
to the extent of four hundred million
dollars, was the subject of criticism
in a letter to Representative Henry. Of
Texas, which was made public tonight
by Secretary McAdoo. The letter is
in reply to recent statements to the
house by Henry. The plan proposed
is for the government to raise two
hundred and fifty million dollars of the
sum by selling Panama canal bonds.
McAdoo declared such aid to the cotton
growers would call for similar GId
to every industry in the country and
the enactment of the plan would also
dangerously involve the credit of the
gov ernment.
Henry today filed with the house
banking and currency committee a let
ter requesting a prompt hearing on the
bill drafted by southern congressman
as a substitute for all the measures
before the committee for the relief Of
cotton and tobacco planters. The new
bill, a compromise on the Henry four
hundred and fifty million bill, would
empower the treasury to deposit IN
national and state banks, two hundred
ard fifty million dollars to be loaned
20 4. .anters~ at four per cent interest.
The middle western bankers con-
ferred with the committee of the fed
eraI reserve board today on the pro-
posed Cne hundred and fifty million
dollar pool to relieve the situation.
No definite action was taken, but the
conference will continue tomorrow.

of food supplies and ammunition" he
is quoted as saying. THE Germans
never again will get a. near to Paris
as they have been. The French artil-

that of the Germans; but the German
cavalry was better than that of the
French.
