night and day for suspicious craft
This action has been taken as a re-
ply to the laying of mines by the Ger

The secretary of the admiralty on
Monday made the announcement OF
the virtual closing of the North sea
to traffic.
He declared that during the last
week the Germans have scattered

on the main trade route from America
to Liverpool via the north of Ireland.
Peaceful merchant ships have al

luck. and but FOR warnings given by

would have been destroyed.
These mines cannot have been laid

Notice is given that all merchant

GERMANS FAIL IN
FURIOUS ATTACK
qfNPoRrANr POSITION OCCUPIED
@V GERMANS SEVERAL DAYS
AGO lREcAPTuRED BY FRENCH.
French Center Army Wrecks Wedge
Being Driven to the East Of vaIIIy,
Cutting Germans TO Pieces With
0uicIS-fire Guns and Artillery.

Paris.-By a furious counter attack
the French center army on Tuesday
wrecked the German wedge which was
being driven at a point to the east OF
VaiIly, on the Aisne
The important position OF La Ferme
de Metz. occupied bysthe Germans sew
eral days ago, was recaptured by the
French, who cut tie Germans to pieces
with their quick-hre guns. raked them
with artillery FIRE and then charged
them with cold steel. inficting heavy
losses.
Earlier in the day the German at
tacks had become so furious that the
French forces who occupied advanced
positions on the slopes of the plateaus
20 the north OF the villages OF Cha
voune and Soupir were compelled to
withdraw to the valley. but those at
Amont were able to resist successfully,
maintaining their positions in the face
of terrific cannonading and rifle IRE.
The Germans have resumed the
bombardment OF Rheims, according to
q report to the Temps, and the new
attack is declared to be almost as
violent as the original attempt to re-
duce the city. The bombardment com
menced on Sunday and continued
throughout Monday. many noncom-
bantants being killed.
The midnight official communique,
after recording the progress near
Vallly. declares that in the region of
Four de Paris and st. Hubert in the
Argonne district the German attack
was not only repulsed, but the French
| were able to press forward and occupy
new advanced positions
Probably the most significant
French gain of the day, was the adj
vance across the User to the north OF
Dixmude. The invaders seemed to
have completely abandoned the left
bank of the User downstream from
Dixmude and when "Reminiscences

resulted in record expectations of
breadstuffs, meats and other food ar
ticles during September. Many trade
currents. broken by the European up
heaval, have shifted to the United
States; France demanding immense
quantities Of fresh beef, South Amer
lea and Europe buying large amounts
OF -four. while nearly all the markets
formerly supplied from other sources
are importing millions OF pounds OF
American sugar.
The value Of foodstufes sold abroad
last month was s6s.49O, $50, nearly dou-
BILE that of September a year ago,
when the total was S89, 786, 624.
The war demand for wheat brougnl
exports for the three months ended
with September to the highest point
ever reached In any corresponding Pc
Rod. Total exports, including -four in
terms of wheat, in the three months
aggregated S9.250,000 bushels. CON-
pared with 100000 bushels in that
period year ago.
For September the exports of -four
were about normal, but the wheat sold
abroad was. more than twice that err
ported during the same month a yeaR
ago. The wheat total was 10000. 900
bushels. France bought 1872. 900
bushels; the Netherlands, 2,201 600;
while other European nations bought
s 100000 bushels. More than 2.56O. 900
bushels were exported to Canada,
while another effect OF the war was a
shipment Of $1,000 bushels to Brazil.
Exports of fresh beef in September
amounted to 100000 pounds, eleven
times that sent abroad In September,
1913. The 100000 pounds of canned
beef exported was eight times the
amount sold in September last year,

TURKEY ENDEAVORS
TO KEEP OUT OF WAR
GRAND VIzIER SAID TO HAVE Ex
TENDED APOLOGY or HIS
GOVERNMENT TO POWERS.
Turkey Also Agrees to Recall Fleet
From the Black Sea, But Refuses
to Dismiss German Officers
From Her 4Warships.

London.--The grand vizier OF Tur-
key has apologized on behalf of his
government for the warlike operations
Of the Turkish feet under German
commanders in the Black sea. but It
was stated authoritatively Monday
that the porte will have 20 20 very
much farther than this before the
powers OF the triple entente will
agree TO resume friendly relations
with the Ottoman government.
It was disclosed in q statement is
sued by the French government Mon
day evening that Turkey, in reply to
note presented by Russia, France
and England on Friday last, agreed to
recall her feet from the Black sea,
but refused to dismiss German Off
GERS from her ships and that as It was
believed she could not maintain a pas
sive attitude without doing this the
ambassadors of the entente powers
demanded their passports and left
Turkey.
The Turkish ambassador to Great
Britain. Tewfik Pasha, was handed his
passports Monday.
There Is every reason TO believe
that despite the apology of the grand
yizier, which, il ID understood, comes
from the peace party In the Turkish
cabinet and may not be adhered to by
Enyer Pasha, the minister of war, and
his Young Turk followers, France,
Russia and Great Britain not only will
demand reparation for the warlike OPP
erations of the Turkish fleet in the
Black sea. but win insist that Turkey s
entire fleet, or at any rate the cruisers
Goeben, Breslan and Hamidieh, be pui
out Of commission until after the war,
Turkeys security being guaranteed
in the meantime.
This would give Russia such supe.
riority in the Black sea that there
would be no danger of Turkish raids
1t Is suggested also that demobiliza,
tion of the Turkish army would be de
manded, which would mean that those
troops which have crossed the Egyp
tian frontier must be withdrawn.

REPUBLICANS GAIN
FORTY-TWO SEATS
RESULT or ELECTION WILL RE
DUcE THE DEMOCRATIC MA
JoRITY IN THE HOUSE.
Democratic Control Of the Senate ls
Assured and win Probably BE In
ereased.-Democrats Lose Ten
congressman In New York.

New York.-Heavy Republican gains
throughout the country In Tuesdays
election give assurance of reducing
the Democratic majority of 141 in the
house of representatives by a big
margin.
The returns from various states
the Republicans.
Democratic control of the senate,
however, was assured. the probability
being that it would be increased from
ten to twelve through the election of
Roger G. Sullivan in Illinois.
The sweeping Republican victory In
New York. the collapse Of the Pro
gressive vote throughout the country
and the upheaval in the Democratic
congressional districts generally were
taken as assurances by Republican
partisans that the tariff had entered
into the national political conflict
with telling effect.
Latest available returns on the con-
%ressional delegation from New York
state showed that twenty-one Repub.
licans, twenty-one Democrats and one
Progressive were elected.
The New York delegation In the
present house is: Democrats, thirty.
one; Republican, eleven; Progress.
sives, one, the Republican gain being
ten.
Further Republican gains in the
late returns show two in New Hamp-
shire, former Representative Cyrus
A. Sulloway returning to the house;
one in Rhode Island, Representative
rA4m l-N-
ed by Walter R. Stiness, Republican;
two in West Virginia, a further gain
of one in Massachusetts, making a net
gain Of three Republican seats from
that state, and two in Indiana.
In the first general election for
United States senators, results still
are in doubt in several states. The
election of James w. Wadsworth. Jr.
Republican, In New York to succeed
Eiihu Root, over ambassador James
w. Gerard, came as a distinct sur
prise to Democratic administration
leaders.
In q few instances, however, there
were Democratic gains. In Minnesota
idaho and Tennessee, which have Re
publican governors, and Nevada, with
a Democratic, were in tht
lead at last reports.
In California there was an excep
tion to the Progressive slump. Re
turns indicate a landslide for Cover

RACE CLOSE IN UTAH.
senator smoot Defeats opponen. by
Small Majority.


The contest for United States SEN
ator in Utah was one of the closest
IN the history OF the state. but latest
returns indicate that Senator Smoot
has been reelected. His lead Is esti-
mated at from 500 to 5000.
On account of the use of the paper
ballots in Salt Lake county instead
of the voting machines the counting
was very slow and many of the
judges were still counting votes at
daybreak Wednesday morning. The
returns were also slow in coming
from other parts of the state.
Smoot carried Weber county by
about 1900. Moyle retaliated by car
rying Salt Lake county by a plurality
OF from 1890 to 1000.
Weber county went solidly Repub
lican, while in Salt Lake county the
Democratic-P Progressive combination ID
claiming victory. and as the count is
slow, it has not YET been determined
who are the victors.
