(Summa,y Of E0ents.)

Turkey has at last entered the
great European conflict, accord
ing to official reports from Petro-
grad and London. The sultan S
cruisers bombarded the Russian
ports of Theodosia, Crimea, and
Novorossysk, Caucasia, on Octo-
ber 20. The warships engaged
were said to be the battle cruisers
which Germany recently sold to
the Turkish government.
Comes as No Surprise.
Turkeys entry into the war is not
surprise. Ever since hostilities start
ed reports have come of the mobiliza-
tion of the sultan's army. Always they
have been denied.
German officers have been drilling
the Ottoman soldiers for several
months. For several years it has been
known that the kaiser was aiding the
sultan in his military preparations.
The German military system was drill
ed into the Turkish soldiers and in the
later Balkan war the German hand
could be recognized in the movements
OF the Turkish army.
British Warned Turkey.
Il has been said that Germany sup
piled the Ottoman government with
large sums OF money. Great Britain
warned Turkey to keep of, and recent
advices from Constantinople indicated
that Turkey intended to maintain her
neutrality.
Under stress of pursuit by British
warships. the German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau early in the war took
refuge at Constantinople. They were
purchased by Turkey, but the German
officers and crews were retained.
Later they sailed forth, and warning
was issued by Russia that should the
Russian warships meet these two
cruisers they would open fire.
The former German warships have
proved a cause of irritation through
out the last few weeks to the Allies,
and Great Britain asked the Ottoman
government to remove the Germans
from the vessels, but Turkey replied
that this was a domestic question.
Means New Balkan War.
Meanwhile Turkey has been under
surveillance by the Allies. Its action
in the present attack on Russian sea
ports has not been explained, but it is
possible that her injection into the
war may bring to arms some of the
Balkan states which have up to the
present remained quiescent.

could remove half the blood, prevent
its coagulation by adding sodium cit

return the purified red corpuscles into
