Washington Sees Far
Reaching Effect in OF
toman Empire Move.
WOULD CUT OFF FOOD
Egypt, Too, May Become In
volved, Affecting English
Control of the Suez.

Washington, Oct. -30.-Turkey's en-
trance into the war is expected to
have a far-reaching effect, according
to views of observers of the progress
of the great conflict in Europe. 1t Is
probable that the Balkan states may
be drawn into the struggle, thereby
cutting off a vast quantity of food.
one of the most disquieting features
of this latest of developments. Great
embarrassment to Russia is expected
to be one of the first results of Tur-
keys injection into the situation.
England, Russia and France, fore
seeing probable entrance of Turkey
into the conflict had already warned
her of what the consequences of such
a move by her might be. The Anglo
French fleet in the Mediterranean
would lombard the ports of Asia
Minor. Greece probably would join
the allies and Italy and Greece be-
come involved Greece has two Amer
lean battleships, formerly the Idaho
and Mississippi, superior to Turkeys
cruisers in armament and gun equip
ment.
1t is feared, too, that Egypt may be
drawn into the struggle through her
affiliations with Turkey, thus affect
ing Britain's control of the Suez canal.
Turkeys war strength is 100000
trained men and 100000 irregulars.
Her naval equipment is three battle
ships, four cruisers, three torpedo gum
boats and 10 torpedo boat destroyers.
Look for Naval Battle.
London, Oct. 30.-Turkey's entrance
into the European war is the most
striking incident of the last IL hours.
The former German warship Breslau,
now a Turkish vessel, in shelling the
Odessa in the Crimea committed an
act which would inevitably embroil
Turkey and Russia. Russia asserts
her intention merely to protect her in
terests around the Black sea. The
number of her vessels will give her
supremacy in the struggle, which IS
expected to be a naval one. English
newspapers express the belief that
Turkey in Europe is doomed to extinc-
ton.

stroyers sank a Russian gunboat at

FALL RESULTS IN
SERIOUS INJURY
Carbon Cliff Carpenter Breaks
Arm and Leg When the
Scaffold Fails.
Especial to The Argus.)

Carbon Cliff, Oct. 30.-Thursday af-
ternoon Harry Shay, while doing some
repair work on the o. E. Holland home
here, fell from the roof as the result
of the breaking of scaffold. He frac-
tured his left leg near the hip and
his left arm above the wrist. He was
taken to the Moline city hospital,
where he was attended by DIR. FL
lingsworth of Watertown.
Mr.. Shay is carpenter 90 years of
age and lives near Carbon Cliff. He
is expected to recover, though his in
juries are of a serious nature. Had it
not happened that he struck the limb
of a tree in his descent, thereby break
ing the fall, it is probable that he
would have been instantly killed.

1t is stated that the Standard Chem

erection of a reduction plant at Natu-
rita. and for this purpose the machin-

One OF the most promising PROPOSE
tions in the Leadville district at this
time is the old St. kevin property
west OF the city. Philip Smith OF

mine, has opened up 4 body Of good
ore.
In San Miguel county. in the old

rich ore at a depth OF 300 feet. 1t
yields from sl5 to $25 per ton in gold

scarcity has brought the two other
woods into prominence.
Fire-killed lodgepole pine and Engfe-
mann spruce, of which there is a great
quantity in the Rocky Mountains,
ought to give satisfactory service in
mines, says the department, provided
it is free from decay. Beams cut from
timber standing dead for about thirty

properly applied will work for econ

ribbon round her neck. The house in

building. Opposite her lived poor
dog named Toby, who. being unused
to the luxuries Of Kitty, did not know
what it was to be proud. At this time
there was certain law between dogs
and cats. This law was that when you
are pleased'yotf must wag your tail, but
when you are angry you; must keep it
stiff. Kitty, thinking that as she was so
rich it was unfair to make her' do even
one thing the same rs such a poor
creature. as Toby, broke this law and
did just the opposite. She was, of
course, punished And since then cats
wag their tails when. they are angry
instead of when they are pleased.
