There is every reason to believe that

Russia and Great Britain not only
will demand reparation for the war

in The Black sea, but will insist that
Turkeys entire fleet, or at any rata

being guaranteed in the meantime.
This would give Russia such supe-

CONSERVATIVE
TURKS WOULD
AVERT WAR
BYAPOLoC|ES

Washington, Nov. 2.-Turkey's apol-
ogy, for recent events in the Black
sea" through the Grand Vizier, an
nouneed at London, was a sequel to
events which ambassador Morganthau
reported today in confidential cipher
message to the state department. 1t
was accepted here as indicating clear
ly a purpose on the part of the con-
servative members of the Ottoman
cabinet to avert war with the Triple
Entente.
Mr.. Morgenthau cabled under date
of p. NJ. Saturday, that shortly after
the Russian ambassador demanded his
passports, the Turkish minister of ag-
riculture called on a cecrtain neutral
diplomat, and asked him to go to the
Russian envoy to ascertain If an apol-
ogy by Turkey for the bombardment
of Russian ports in the Black sea
would be accepted and would pacify
Russia. The neutral diplomat saw the
Russian ambassador who said that
his instructions to leave Constantine
pie We're absolute, but that when all
German sailors and officers were dis
missed summarily from the Turkish
army and navy and when he had been
advised of their departure from Tur-
key he would return and resume dip
lomatie relations with the Ottoman
Empire.
Later in the day the Turkish minis
ter of Agriculture called on the same
neutral diplomat to learn if an apol-
ogy would be accepted by the Russian
government. The same reply was made
to him and the Russian, French and
British ambassadors left on special
train at P. NJ. Saturday arranged
through the efforts of the American
ambassador.
Although details of the Turkish apollo
gy, reported from London, had not reach
ed here. officials and diplomats conversant
with the situation did not believe the
Triple Entente would be satisfied with
the written apology unless it was accom-
panied by the dismissal of the German
officers and sailors and soldiers. perhaps
by the dismantlng of the Goeben and

The efforts of the two ministers in the

ture are endeavoring to keep Turkey al

1t affects the Union Stock Yards of
Chicago, greatest cattle market of the
world to the extent that no live cat

the duration Of the quarantine, even

official Interpretation of the order, cat
tie from areas other than those under
quarantine may be shipped to the Chi
cago yard. but they may leave there
only as dressed meat.
After a day of conferences among
officials here. this explanation of the
governments action was issued at the
department of agriculture:
The provisions of this quarantine
are practically the same as previous

Michigan and Indiana. No cattle,
sheep or swine can be shipped from
these states in interstate commerce
and all food and animal products of
any sort which might possibly con-
vey the disease must be thoroughly
disinfected
The quarantined states are not on
ly prohibited from shipping cattle to
uninfected areas, but they cannot even
send shipments of stock from one in
fected area to another
No cases of foot and mouth disease
have as yet been discovered in Ohio,
but on account of the fact that ship
ments from infected areas have been
made to this state 1t has been foun1
necessary to place practically the
same restrictions as on other states.
An instance of hoof and mouth dis
ease has been found among the stock
exhibited at the National Dairy show
in Chicago. ,., -,
food and bedding of stock have also
been put in force. The The federal au-
thorities in charge of the quarantine
are earnestly urging every farmer to
report at once any suspicious case of

stock. Unreported cases of disease
may result in spreading the Infection
