BALKANS LIKELY
 TO BE INVOLVED

Washington, October 3o.-Turlxeys $ attack on Russia, reports of which were confirmed in official dispatches to the American government and the Russian embassy, was viewed by of- fcials and diplomats generally here to- day as likely to produce gravest com plications throughout tine Balkans, northern Africa and Asia Minor.
 The announcement of state of war between Russia and Turkey was ex- pected eventually to bring Greece, Italy, Roumania and Bulgaria into the list of belligerents
 Ambassador Morgenthau, in a brief eablegram from Constantinople late. to- day, made no mention of 8 declaration of war by Turkey on Russia, but said the British ambassador had informed him of the bombardment of Odessa by three Turkish torpedo boat destroyers and the sinking of a Russian gunboat Previously the American consul at odessa had reported that during the bombardment some American property w,sA destroyed.
 With the dispatches and previous in- dications from tho Levant, officials IGdI6Q lu0 lOHk tApcttcQ C0nAidt5 otioii in Turkey was at hand. They prepared to use the American cruisers North Carolina and Tennessee to assist Amer jean missionaries, if necessary, and to set in motion measures of relief for Americans similar to those begun when fhe first nations of Europe were plunged into war.
 EFFECT TO BE
 FAR-REACHING
 The far reaching effect of Turkey's s bomb ardment of Russian ports was ev- anywhere admitted. While 1t was sug- iested in some quarters that the Ot- tomen government might repudiate the raid of the Turkish destroyers and the former German cruisers Goeben and 1 Breslau, attributing the acts to the in- -itiative of the German officers and crew manning them, the belief pre- vailed that Russia would not passive ly accept this view but would consider herself In state of war with Turkey.
 The complications in Albania, where Greece has sent troops to occupy Epirus, supposedly mourning the displeasure of Italy, is believed to alter somewhat the alignment which would have re- suited a month ago from Turkeys en- trance into the war. The news from Athens that Greece entered Albania with the consent of the triple entente : was . puxzling development for Wash ington officials. The feeling for months had been that Italy would side with the entente if Turkey declared war on Russia. but that had been based large iy on the supposition that the Mussul- mon In Egypt. rising against British rule, would ipcite their. brethren in rripoll to attempt to cast of Italian domination. Itdly, to remain neutral, muet eventually reach some understand- lng with the triple entente concerning

THE OF
 CARRANzA READ ID
 PEACE CONFERENCE
Message Throws Meeting Into a TurmOil-Insists That Zapata and
 Villa Retire

Mexico City, October 30.--The rosena- ton of Gen. venustiano carranza as pro- visonsl President and first chief of the constitutionalist army. based on the con- dition that General Villa and zapata re- tire to private life, was read to the Aguas Calientes peace convention today. General Carranza even expressed a will ingness to leave the country if his ab- sence would tend to the re-establish- ment of peace.
 The message caused a turmoil in the convention hall and at one time specta- tors tried to intervene and break up the meeting. What action was taken on the resignation was not known here tonight.
 In demanding that Villa and zapata retire, General Carranza said:
 Villa Ambitious
 There Is a greater ambition than that of being President of the republic and that Is to hold such military omnipotence as to permit one man to sway all powers oe union. The insistency of General Villa in keeping command of division sup posed to be all powerful and at the same time pretending to re-establish at once constitutional order on the basis of the old regime. Is a clear indication that the dream of this chief Is to constitute him self arbiter of the destinies of Mexico with the faculties to appoint a President elect Congress, design supreme court and rule the government of all the states. am ignorant of General zapata's pre- tensions but believe they will not differ greatly from those of Villa.
 "I wish that my retirement from power shall not be sterile and that l am not merely to rcinquish the field to enemies of the revolution to chieftains with per- nonal ambitions. l consequently state to the convention that am disposed to de- liver the command of the constitutionalist army and the executive power of the nation and, if necessary to leave the country, on the three following condi- tions.
