RUSSIA TAKES No
STEP AGAINST
TURKISH ARMY
Special bD United Press Wbe.

Petrograd, Nov. 2;-Although the
.Furkish ambassador has been hand
ed his passports and representatives
of the allied powers have all left
Turkey, Russia has up to the present
taken no, aggre&si We. Atep against the
Turks There is a disposition on the
part Of the government to force
Turkey to take the entire initiative
for the present, although 1t is known
plan of action is complete and only
waiting signals to be put into effect.
The censorship the government is
maintaining over news from Black
seaports has prevented any details
regarding the operations of the
Turkish fleet getting through, but
official reports say there has been
little damage caused in any Of the
Black sea cities from the Turkish
naval bombardment.
1t is believed certain here that
Turkey will concentrate her efforts
against England in Egypt. A holy
war Is expected to be proclaimed by
the sultan, but there is general feel
ing it will meet with little sympathy
from lue MOnduHleQdUS OF ESypC OF
India. Definite assurances have been
received from Bulgaria that she in
tends remaining neutral in the con-
fict. 1t is, of course, possible that
later she will enter the war, but for
the present at least her near bank
ruptcy promises to keep her hands
tied.
Russian forces advancing to Rus
sian Poland continue to press back
the Germans in the government of
Suwalki, while beyond the Vistula
they have occupied Piltrkow, OPP
poczno and Ozarow. The Germans
have now been pushed within twenty
miles of their positions along the
Warta river. 1t is declared here
that when the Germans found them
selves unable to move their artillery
through the deep mud which marked
their entire line of retreat they
buried many guns, most Of which
have been recovered by the Russians.
Among the prisoners captured are
officers and men of the Koenigsburg
and Posen garrisons, indicating the
Germans due on these fortresses
were men to aid in the campaign
against Warsaw, which has ended in
disaster.

.BROODING OVER
WAR, HUNGARIAN
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Frank Eyre Sends Bullet
Through His Heart; De-
spondent Over Bloodshed in
His Native Land, Hungary.

Sick and detected, and grieving
over his native Hungary being
plunged into bloody war, Frank
Eyre, forty years old, clay worker,
of Florida Grove road, shot himself
through the heart with thirty-eight
calibre revolver, about O'Clock Sat
urday afternoon. The man had kept
to his bed since Wednesday, suffer
ing from heart disease.
Eyre, who is prominent in several
large Hungarian societies in Perth
Amboy and vicinity, had been fol-
lowing the war news closely, and
took much interest in the European
struggle, but lamented that Hun
gary had been dragged into the con-
t1ct. He had suffered with his heart
for some time, though, it is thought,
his condition was aggravated by sto-
ries of bloodshed coming from his
native land. Wednesday he did not
go to work, and sent for a physician.
His condition was deemed serious,
and he was kept to his bed.
His wife had spent most of the
afternoon by his bedside Saturday
and during that time he did not init
mate that he contemplated suicide
She left him shortly before 5 O'Clock
to do some work in the back yard
She returned five minutes later and
found him under heavy feather
tick, the sheets soaked with blood
dead with the thirty-eight calibre
revolver by his side. The bullet had
gone true to the mans aim. pune
tured the heart and lodged in his
back. A hole the size of dollar was
burned around the mans breast, so
close had he held the weapon when
he fired. Coroner James ]. Flynn
was notified and removed the body
to his morgue.
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday afternoon at the home of
the deceased. Because of a crowd
of some 1000 friends who were in
attendance the services were con,
Quoted by Rev. Louis Nanassy in the

five children by his first wife and his
widow. ~ a, .a.--.....
Eyre had kept the revolver under
his pillow for months, when sick OF
well, and its presence during his re-
cent illness did not cause his wife tC
suspect his designs on his own life
The suicide and family lived in the
famous old Florida Grove house,
formerly used as a hosiery.

The report states that eight army
corps OF Turkish troops have already
crossed the Egyptian frontier. The
off1cial press bureau, while permit
ting publication of the report, has no
confirmation. A rigid censorship is
in effect on news from the east. This
is believed to be due to plans ON the
part of the Franco British fleet to at
tack the forts of the Dardennelles.
Reports reaching here from Italian
sources indicate the heavy battle-
ships, battle cruisers and armored
cruisers of the feet which have been
bombarding Catero, the mouth of the
Adriatic, steamed away from there
Saturday in an easterly direction. 1t

with heavy losses, according to off,
cial reports reaching military head

main coast lines remained. Severe
fighting is reported between La

fact that Germans have been strong

been unable to make any material
gains. Fighting all along the line
to the north is of mixed chara cter.

Turkey Will
Declare Holy
War at Once

Berlin, via the Hague, Nov. q
A brief official bulletin issued today
stated that In the west the Germans
had made material gains at such
points along the right wing, espec-
tally to the north of Ypes. The Ger
man line has been advanced west Of
Lille to Laventie In the face of deter
mined opposition. The opening of
the dykes has interfered with rapid
progress, 1t is stated, but the troops
have not been forced to secede their
original positions.
The Turkish ambassador in a
statement issued today declared that
Turkey will declare holy war at
once. He said the Sultan already
has sent circular to the powers in
which he takes the position that the
British army In Egypt had prevented
him exercising his sovereignty.
Therefore the annexation OF Egypt
was a step Of necessity. Advices re-
ceived indicate that Arabs at Tripoi
are attacking Italian troops there.
A wireless from Vienna said:
Near the Galician and Bukowina
border Austrian troops defeated
Russian column composed of troops
of all branches of the service. In
the middle of Galicia our troops are
maintaining all positions which we
captured from the Russians In the

AFTER SEVENTEEN YEARS
LITIGATION SUIT MAY
BE SETTLED SHORTLY

As an echo of the dim past there ap-'
peared once more in Judge Robinson's
court this morning, the famous old
suit M. F. Scott ct al versus Esther ~.
Pilipo ct al. The case has been be-
fore the courts for seventeen years
and at last there would seem to be.
some chance of 1t being settled.
The first papers in the case were
filed on, September 8, 1897, and at
that time there were no less than one
hundred and forty-two heirs to the es-
tate, which consisted at that time Of
$50 acres of land at Kona, Hawaii :
/ Many of the heirs are dead, and it
Is said that there are now but four
teen left to get some Of the property
after the partition which is asked
for is made. ..~..:
The record in that case is as thick
as family bible, and the original pa
pers that we're filed are falling to
pieces from old age and too much
handling. For seventeen years the
documents have been produced time
after time until they are almost worn
out It is really thought that an end
of the long drawn out suit is in sight
and that Mr.. Scott will, finally, cease
from worrying over the old matter.
