battlefront German wounded moved
back in the direction of Brueges. The
fact that the allies apparently have
been gaining consistently so near the
coast line indicates to British OBJ
servers how valuable have been the
services Of the warships, which hold
their positions in spite Of the pres
ence of German submarines.
The water in other ways has been
a great advantage to the allies, for
the Germans have admitted that they
have been hamDered by the inunda-
ton Of their trenches through the
cutting of the dikes and the opening
of sluices in the lower country.
Assuming that Turkeys casting in
of her lot with Germany is an accom-
plished fact the British press admits
that the cruisers Goeben and Breslau
are a serious menace, as Russia has
nothing to compare with them in
speed and equipment
As to the Turkish army, however,
formidable as it is in size, the opinion
is expressed here that it will not be
an efficient fighting machine under
the modern conditions which require
the latest types of arms.
Concerning the campaign in Egypt
England feels that in Lord Kitchener
she has just the man to meet the sit

a better knowledge than he.

CARDS with the most concern.
The week is likely to see the crys-

into the conflict
German papers announce officially
that all the coast Of Asiatic Turkey
has been blockaded by mines. thus
spreading to the east the danger
which is confronting shipping in the

Civil War Threatened
Washington, D. G., Nov. 2.-Latest
ofhcial dispatches today from Mexico
said Carranza was threatening civil
war unless the convention complied
v .th his demand to retire villa and
zapata with his resignation. The
Mexico city papers, BY order Of Car
rama are publishing the correspond
cree with Washington over the con-
ditions Of evacuation Of Vera Cruz.
The United States has addressed
note through the Brazilian minister
i'll Mexico City to General Carranza
reiterating its willingness to with
dfaw American forces in Vera Cruz,
but insisting on a compliance with
the original demands Of the state de
partment for certain guarantees.
A copy Of the note was sent stimuli
taneously to the American consular
agent at Aguas Calientes, TO be laid
formally before the convention. The
document sets forth that the United
States has heen ready and willing for
some time to evacuate Vera Cruz, but
has waited for the specific guarantees.
The note states that proclamation
giving the guarantees is desired by
the United States from the central
government in Mexico, and refers to
the fact that the convention at Aguas
Calientes recently instructed Carranza
TO comply with that reques. The
American government points out that
Iinasmuch as Carranza officially re-
felred the matter to the convention
his compliance is still being awaited
General Carrsnza has stated to
