ITALY MAY PROFIT
BY WAR ON TURKEY
Theory Is She Would Get
Adriatic Ports and
Others as Reward.


London, Oct. 30.-There is little
doubt that when Russia takes action
against Turkey, as she is certain to do,
England and France will join with
their ally. and Turkey will be warning
with three Allies, all intent upon elm
mating the Sultan from Europe for
ever. The British government to-day
is not ready to describe what course
Of action it will follow Evidently it
awaits Russian action. There are &C
tive exchanges OF views progressing
between the entente of countries.
Regarding the possible Italian par
ticipation. a correspondent to-day re
ceived from a well Informed official
an hypothesis which, while simply
legitimate speculation, Is highly in
tcresting and may prove significant.
Il was that Italy'S participation in this
war, which has been expected 10 oc-
cur for one reason or another, may
now take place through ltaly's inter
csts in gaining some fOothOld in the
northeastern corner of the Mediter-
raneau, Italy having certain interests
in Asia Minor which Turkish eXpan-
sion and victory would jeOpardize.
. Taus Italy would obtain an excuse for
participation in the war and would
end armies TO Asia Minor to halt the
Turkish advance, and again become
engaged in a general war with Tur-
key.
italy wants certain things as a re-
suit OF Europc's great war and knows
she can't get them without lending
hand. Primarily she wants certain
Austrian ports in the Adriatic which
we're formerly Italian. Unless she
takes part IN the war there is no llkell-
hooc Of her being given them by the
Allies. but should she now assume the
task Of handling Turkey, leaving the
Allies free and unhampered TO con-
tinue with Austria and Germany, the
Allies would owe her debt which
could be repaid by giving Italy these
Adriatic possessions. Besides, the
proposition Of fighting Turkey is far
more attractive TO Italy than Sighting
in the cold Alps this winter against
Austria. Ii is just possible. accord
ing to this hypothesis, that Italy will
take on Turkey. and skillful diplomacy
may keep out Greece. Rumania and
BULGARIA, although this is rather
doubtful.
England would indeed be indebted
10 Italy if she protects Egypt from
Turkish attack There is no question
in the minds Of the British govern
ment that Germany instigated Turkey,
vet this view conflicts with American
adviccs of an official character. These
are that while the German military
leaders have been urging Turkey on,
the government in Berlin has really
been against Turkish participation.
knowing that this would probably
mean Greek. Rumanian and perhaps
Italian participation.

FRANCE ANGRY AT
PEACE PROPOSALS
Indignant Refusal Reply
to German Suggestion
of a Bargain.
IN, Cnhle TO The Trlhunc. ]

London, Oct. 31.-"The Morning
Post" confirms the statements OF ne
Chronicles" Paris correspondent that
Germany has made peace proposals TO
France by which France should get
back all Lorraine and part OF Alsace.
while Germany should retain a part OF
Relqium, insuring her a clear way 70
the Scheldt. Needless to say ADDS
"The Morning Post" "the proposition
has been received by the French gov
eminent with an indignant refusal;
"Thc Morning Post" says edltorially;
"The proposal is extraordinary IN II
self. and it is significant, especially as
il is made on the heels of the de-
bacle in Poland. as confession on
the part Of the Germans that they
have lost all hope Of winning IN the
war.
"The worst aspect of the proposal
however. is the suggestion that the
French. one of the noblest and one OF
he most loyal nations in the world
might consider terms of that KIND
Germans. and especially those OF them
who direct the policy of the nation
have very frequently proved them-
selves to be poor judges Of the char-
acter Of foreign peoples. How other-
Wise could they imagine that France
who has suffered herself. would de-
sert her friends and make a peace,
which would seal the degradation OF
one of her most faithful allies
Moreover. France respects the neu-
trality of Holland, and another amaz-
ing feature Of the proposal is the as
sumption that France would be Wiling
to override Dutch rights. Germany
should finally understand that no peace
will be made until it is dictated by
the Allies in Berlin.

they have made no such proposal. The
proposal has. nevertheless, been made

All the surgeons were clad in the

BELCIANS BEAR
BRUNT OF BATTLE
Now Pressing Against the
GermanSAfte Defending
Their Last Corner.
N CahIe 10 M Trlhunel


On the French Coast name of town
censoredj, Oct. 30.-The Germans fight
for Calais is practically ended The
great battle Of the coast has taken
another phase. IT is now the Allies
fighting fJr Ostend and Belgium. They
are taking the aggressive. SO far all
from the l2-inch guns of the British
battleships have played havoc with the
best artillery the Germans can put
against them. The Germans great
siege howitZers are of no use against
the mobile feet. Their most powerful
field guns require extraordinary luck,
az well as maximum skill, to be effec-
tive against the lighter British war
ships, which fire while travelling at
full speed on a diagonal course and
one which presents the least possible
aiming surface.
This also renders it almost impos-
sibe for the Germans to get the exact
range.
The User Of West Flanders, which
mas proved the impossible barrier for
the Germans in Flanders, is a sluggish
stream at best. Now II Is crimson with
blood and damned in places by tangled
corpses, so that its waters overflow
INTO the lakes beside IT'S course that
were, till the dykes were cut TO sub
merge them, fertile meadows.
Although the British and French
forces have fought magnifceutly all
along the line south of DiXmude, the
chief glory OF the victory in the battle
Of the Road TO Calais for victory
1t is is due TO the heroic Belgian
army, to which, at the earnest request
Of brave King Albert, was intrusted
the honor Of holding the northernmost
part Of the line, defending thus the
lest remnant of Belgian territory I'M
occupied by Germans.
week ago the Belgian army was so
terribly oyermatched by the German
attack that the King had to appeal for
instant aid from the Allies Ii came in
the form of q vigorous attack upon the
German lines of communication east
ward by the British feet. Yet they are
pressing on now, Spurred by the hope
Of vengeance and by "a revived deter
miration to Dust the invaders from
their native land and striving TO con-
vert the German retirement into
rout. Just as Napoleon's scheme of an
invasion of England from Boulogne
came 10 naught, the Kalser's hopes
h been dashed TO pieces forty miles
from Calais. His persistence in the
policy Of Calais at any cost" caused
German losses in killed, wounded and
missing amounting to 100000 men.

BY ALLIED FLEET

Paris, Oct. 30 Advices received
here show that it was the French tor

Anyone Remember Being
Stung by Rev. P. F. Jernegan's
Gold from Salt Water Scheme

Away back in 1896 some of us began
to hear about a method having been
discovered to extract gold from salt
water. You doubtless remember it
some of you, who invested. very well.
smooth, oily>tongued chap, who had
or was still a clergyman, T. F. Jer-
negan by name, was the chief promot-
er and for some time he certainly did
promote. He gave his company the
name of The Electrolytic Marine Salts
Company. elected a fine board OF ofti-
GERS, including two Maine men, made
some very successful and gratifying
demonstrations of his wonderful dis
covery and proceeded to sell stock.
You see he could experiment and get
the gold, but he could not operate the
plant and keep the proceeds, because
the dear public must be allowed to
share in the profits. Hence the stock
selling of course.
Well, he capitalized the concern for
$4,000, 900, with 100000 shares at 81
each. He then managed to borrow
$4,000 cash, giving 100000 shares of
stock as a bonus. The public quickly
gobbled up this amount, the loan was
repaid and the company was pro-
nounced by an unsuspeeting public to
be a grand and wonderful thing.
Now for place to operate. North
Lubec, Me, was discovered by Jerne-
gan. Property and water privilege
were purchased and plant erected,
under great difficulties and began run
ming Feb. 4, 1898.
The directors were sent for. They
nobly RESPONDED and watched the plant
extract gold from the sea for two
weeks at the rate of s1.27 each of five
"accumulators," the machines which
did the job. They even handled the
apparatus to n large extent them
selves, so said the second issue of the
Facts, the company's official publica-
ton.
After the directors exhaustive test
of the plant they decided that with
100 aceumulators at work the Com
stock Plant" could be run for about
$3.50 a week and produce about $t5 a
week in gold and silver. With 100 ma
chimes they figured that $3.50 worth OF
gold would show up at an expense of
only about so, or in other words, the
"Comstock Plant by May 1, would be
producing over $1,000 a week at a cost
of $500
Well, say, didn't that look good?

Stamping Out Hog ChoIsra.

The national department of agricul-
ture's campaign against the hog chol-
era in Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Ne
braska has met with most gratifying
results the use Of the serum proving
remarkably efficient. The inspectors
lost but per cent. of hogs actually
sick when treated. OF well hogs in
diseased herds but 2.s per cent. died
after treatment and less than l per
cent Of hogs in exposed herds.
Some states are engaged in the man
ufacture of serum to cure this disease.
This serum requires special treatment
to preserve it's quality and qalified
man to produce 1t. Sufficient serum
to treat an average 100-pound hog
costs about 80 cents at liberal esti-
mate. The treatment is by hypoder-
mic injection.
Hog cholera is caused by a germ
that exists in the blood. 1t is an or
ganism apparently SO small that the
most powerful microscopes do not
show it. However, it Is easy to dem
onstrate its presence by inoculating a
small part Of the blood from a sick
