The War at a Glance
Summarized by John Edwin Nevin, United
Press Staff Correspondent.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
ENGLAND-Great Britain today for
maIIy declared war upon Turkey and
her example 10 expected coon to be
followed by the other allied powers.
Various rumors Of naval battles have
been received In London, but none 10
confirmed by the admiralty.
FRANCE-The war Office announces
that allies are advancing at many
points and that whore they are not
advancing they are holding the Ger
mans in check. The main advance is
said to be east Of Nisuport between n
Dismude and the Lys. The Germans
are attempting to break the allies line
between Labassee and the Sonnme
with their heavy artillery. :.
RUSSIA-The Russian war office
claims that the Germans are again re-
treating along the east Prussian from

What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
a9er Of the United Press.

In oun fire Of the Germans with such
disastrous consequences.
Great eritain's declaration Of war
on Turkey shows, Il 10 believed, It 10
hopeless to rely on the peace party
at constantinopIe holding the pro-
German Young Turks In check. Un-
dor these circumstances and with
Russia forcing the fighting along the
Caucasian frontier, Great eritain's
quick assumption Of the offensive
contains advantageous possibilities.
Without In any way suggesting rivalry
to Russia, j 10 probable that there will
be IN reality, race between the Rus
slams by land and the Anglo-French
forces by sea, TO capture constantin-
opIe. The mining Of the Dardanalles
has been thought to make successful
water assault upon constantinopIe
Impossible Nevertheless the Anglo
French feet has begun sheIlino tho
Dardanaiies defenses and II 10 appar-
ent that Great Britain and France
will make every effort to seize the
Dardanellee and compel constantln-
ople to surrender to q battleship
squadron.
This 10 the only way the two west
ern powers can Offset Russia's desire
to subdue Turkey single handed.
Neither French nor British armies can
be spared for operations In Turkey
and only the Mediterranean fleet can
be counted upon to represent France
and Great Britain in the Turkish oper-
ations. " the fleet su5dues Constan-
tInopIe, the disposition Of Turkey
after the war, will not be matter
concerning which Russia will have
paramount say; II Russian troops
alone overwhelm the ottomans, Slav
desires cannot be successfully resist

NEW YORK, Nov. 4. III .. MI
The reluctance Of the British admir-.
atty to admit the victory Of Admiral
Won Spec of the Chilean coast 10 due
to the failure Of all reports Of the con-
flct to mention the British battieship
canopus. The canopus had been
sent to reinforcs Admiral cradock's
squadron, but apparently she was not
there at the crisis. She 10 armed with
four 12 inch guns and had she been
present At the battle her hre would
have given 20 the British squadron
that preponderance Of artillery which
actually was possessed by the Ger
mans.
Apparently, Admiral Won Spec and
Admiral cradoek had been nnansuver-
ing to catch the other In inferior
strength and the German commander
won the strategic game. The canopus
Is sixteen year old battieship with
speed Of 1875 knots per hour. The
Gocdhope and the Monmouth each
have made % knots and the Glasgow
can steam at 25 knots per hour. At
the time the battle was fought, the
weather was very bad. A gale was
blowing and there were heavy seas.
The speedIer British cruisers may have
become separated from the more pom
derous battleship, thus permitting the
Germans to seize advantage. Az the
same time, Admiral Cradock may not
have thought Il necessary to fall back
on the Canopus when he spied the
German squadron because Of the
weather condition. British warships
are specifically built for heavy sea
work and their sailors have specIaIix-
ed In rough weather sighting. These
facts may have eaused Admiral cra-
oock to underssasmate the sdvantaas

the DIS probably saved the loss Of one

The fact that the light German
cruiser Yorcke was sunk by striking

BERLIN, Nov. S. (via the Aaoue.)-
In an officlaI statement issued today
Il was announced that the German
forward movement In territory be-
tween Ypres and Arres continues sat
isfactory. Because Of the desperate
resistance Of the allies, Il has been
necessary to feel every inch OF ter
ritory with artillery before attempting
any gains and this, Il 10 explained,
makes progress naturally slow. Sew
eraI battallons Of British troops have
been cut OF In the vicinity Of Arras
and near Roye and forced TO surrsnd-
or. The French ara being driven back
in the vicinity Of verdun and In the
vosoes.
Reports from General Won HInden-
beru describe the situation on the east
Prussian front as we'll In hand. Tho
German forces now occupy the l.-w
lines planned and are again holding
the Russians in check at every point.
The Austrian general staf likewise
reports that the Russians have again
been defeated In attempts to cross the
lower San.
ENORMOUS REINFoRcEMENTs.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 5.-Enormous
numbers Of German reinforcements
are enroute to France and West Fiand-
ere. Reports from Lieoe state that
for the last three days long trains
loaded with singing soldiers have been
passing through that city from Ak
Ia chappelie. Two hundred cars
passed through IN ono day and were
followed by eight trains loaded with
ammunition and several carrying sub
marines and torpedo boats In sections,
together with their crews and war ma
terials.
II 10 believed certain here that the
Germans are determined not only "a
hack their way through TO the coast
cities, bHt that they also plan opera
tIons against the English coast. The
torpedo boats and submarines have
been sent direct to Bru0es. where n
ready large quantities Of naval 70.
serves and active seamen have been
massed. eruees 10 m Ideal naval
base. II 10 far enough inland 70 be
out OF the range Of the guns Of the

brought Into action along the French
and Belgian coasts and 10 connected
with the seaeoast town Of Zee BRUCE
by deep canal.
u is reported that seven German de-
stroyers have been eeen or the
Belgian coast. II 10 supposed that
they have been used for scouting pur-
poses and that II is the Intention Of
the Germans to send them into Zee
BRUCE harbor to effect junction with
the other Belgian warcraft there.
The Germans have laid mines along
the coast from ostend north, accord
ing to late reports reaching here.
DENY LOSSES.
BERLIN, Nov. 5. (vIa wireless
through Sayvilie, L. J., to the United
Press .)-official denial was made to-
day Of the Russian claims that In the
recent fighting on the east front they
took many German prisoners and cap
tured numerous cannon and machine
guns. The war office specifically de-
nies that any prisoners have been
taken or that the Germans lost any
artillery.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--While late
and complete returns today empha-
sized the sweep OF the republican VIC
tories in various states In cutting the
democratic majority In the house from
141 to 10, the complete relapse Of the
progressives became more apparent.
II the claims oe socialists prove to
be true, the progressives In New York
have dropped from the position OF
third party to fifth. Socialists succeed
ed in electing a congressman in New
York in Meyer London, OF the twelfth
district where the progressives failed.
Frederick Davenport, progressive. poll
ed only 1854 votes for governor, run
ming far behind William Sulzer, who
trailed behind Glynn and Whitman.
Charles Edward Russell, socialist can
didate for governor in 1912, polled 56,-
917 votes. Gustav A. Strebel was the
candidate this year and If he has run
as well as did Russell the socialists
vote exceeds that Of the progressives.
Socialists claim their vote this year
will total $4,000 which would estab-
lish them well ahead OF the progress
sives Gaylord and Berger. socialist
candidates for congress in Wisconsin
were defeated after close race. So
cialists believe the election Of London
clearly indicates their increasing
strength as they have now succeeded
in electing congressman in widely sep
