War SUNNI Z ry

Interest in the battles raging in
the east and west of Europe,
where decisive results still are to
be attained, today was momen-
tarily overshadowed by Turkeys
entrance into the great war
through its Inauguration of hostil-
tiles against Russia.
London and Washington agree
that this new development proba-
bly, will have slight effect on land
operations, but will manifest itself
chiefly by sea and give the allied
fleet in the Mediterranean and ad-
jacent waters some busy days or
weeks.
Aside from this the most in
teresting phase of turkeys action
is it's probable effect on the deli
cate Balkan situation, and next,
what Greece will do. Should

entered the port OF Odessa, sunk

Little news filtered through to-
day from the scene Of the great
battle in Flanders, and indications
we're that the censorship had be-
come still more rigid. The French
official statement, while again op-
timistic in tone, was general In
terms and contained nothing to
indicate that decided advantages
had been won by either side, and
1t was inferred that the deadly
struggle was yet to run its course.
The enormous sacrifices made
by the Germans to force a passage
of the User river are said by the
French war office to have been in
vain. The German forces, which
maintained their hard won place
to the south of the User, nothwith-
standing the heavy loss of life,
are now said to have withdrawn.
What shot and shrapnel could not
accomplish. has been achieved by
another device. the Belgians hav-
ing flooded the lower valley of the
river.
The French official statement
indicates that it has again fallen
to the lot OF the British troops to
bear the brunt of battle. Their
presence along the line from Ypres
to Dixmude is revealed in the
statement which says that violent
German attacks in this vicinity
were beaten back and that the
British and French we're able to
push forward.

PARIS. Oct. 3o-7;1o AZ m.-Paris re-
CARDS the situation this morning in Flan-
ders as highly favorable. In official cir
cles there prevails an air OF satisfaction
surprising the impression created by the
official communications. The second trip
Of President Poincare to the battle front
is regarded as good sign and is taken
to presage important developments.
Military critics regard the prolonged
assaults of the Germans along the User
as having failed. and they expect that
the enemy. following their custom, will
now make another effort elsewhere. The
great activity in upper Alsace during the
last few days suggests an attack from
that quarter.
1t is declared here that all the German
wounded at Saint Louis have been taken
across the Rhine. and that all applica-
tions for safe conduct in upper Alsace
have been refused.
In spite of the general hopefulness pre-
vailing in the French camp the deadlock
in the extended battle line in France and
Germany continues today. according to
all the information that has been made
available here regarding the great battle
raging between the Germans and the
allies.

Evidently both sides are recuperating
as much as possible from the strain of

fidence that the allies, as heretofore,
will check them in this objective,

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-Turkey's SEN
sational entrance into the arena OF
the European conflict is the most
striking incident of the last twelve
nours. II seems a fateful coincidence
that one Of the famous German
cruisers, whose taking over by
Turkey led to the first friction be-
tween the Porte and Great Britain,
France and Russia, should have been
the instrument of hostility, which
makes war between Turkey and Rus
sia inevitable. .-s 1854
Petrograd accepts the situation
quietly and disclaims any idea of ag.
gressive warfare against the Turks
Russia asserts its intention merely to
protect Russian interests around the
Black Sea from attack.
1t is interesting to note that the Rus
sian press expresses the belief that the
entry of Turkey into the field is OF more
interest to England than to Russia on

The Christmas Ship, A few weeks
ago those words meant merely great
opportunity. Today they stand for a
great reality. The Christmas Ship
movement is a complete success. In
few days the Christmas Ship will
sail on its human mission to the war
made orphans of Europe with its
Christmas message of "On earth peace,
good will towards men,"
The response to the Christmas Ship
appeal has been magnificent. Every
section. every state has had a part in
the great work. II was a national en-
terprise in the fullest sense. And this
is because it gave opportunity for an
expression of the national spirit. of the
Unborn American instinct to help those
in need OF help, of the deeprooted
American feeling that our great coun-
try is never greater than when it
serves mankind.
Individuals, associations, business
concerns and corporations-all caught
the spirit of ii. There sprang up
throughout the country a great COM
munion of charity and feeling. The
railroads, the express and transfer
companies. the Pugh and Bush termi-
nails at Chicago and Brooklyn. these
and other organizations all at once
turned out to be something more than
business concerns: They turned out
to be men who felt the appeal and
who were more than willing to help
And help they did right nobly-with-
out money and without price.
Today the Christmas Ship sails
with a full cargo. And what a
precious cargo. No ship ever sailed
with one to equal it. 1t isn't simple
merchandise. Each article is hallow
ed by love. charity and self-sacrifice.
Every muffler or wooden stocking for
a little orphan not only represents
happiness for one who is to receive
but also happiness for one who gave.
Every toy represents a spiritual in
crement for some little child at home.
Greater cargo hath no ship than this,
The country has a right to be proud
of the Christmas Ship. Everybody
who helped TO make the great oppor
tunity a magnificent reality has right
to be proud. Every American has a
right to be proud of country in which
such things can be done. And every
one can rest fully assured that the
Christmas Ship will not only carry
Christmas cheer and comfort to those
who need them most but that the act
Will go down in the years a power for
good, for peace and for humanity.
Now TO the main point: A great
thing has been done. 4 great national

spirit of the nation in the service of

but remain neutral in the spirit of
President Wilson's second proclama-
ton on the subject Of neutrality. II
seems TO me that this is the right at
titude for Americans. Ultimately we
are a nation of immigrants, and the
wise course for us is TO take the best
and leave the worst of the European
legacy. And what is worse than its
racial feuds and antagonisms? II is
time for charity to all. for malice
toward none. and for the hope that
this present world affection may prove
to be Gods mysterious way of prepar-
ing the end of conditions that were be-
coming intolerable.
Such is my attitude. such my con-
ception of an Americans duty in the
present emergency.

Phantom Hounds.

Conan Doyle's Hound of the Bas-
kerviIles," "fearsome animal" is
said to have its origin in the legends
of packs of spectral hounds which are
popular in various parts of England
and Wales In the north of England
these apparitions are known as Ca
briefs hounds" in Devon the "Wisk,
Vest or Heath hounds" IN Wales
.'Cron Annwn" or "Cwn Wybir' and
in Cornwall the Devils Dandy dogs.
They are supposed TO be evil spirits
hunting the souls of the dead. Gener-
ally they are only heard and seem to
be passing swiftly along in the air. as
they usually choose cloudy nights for
the pursuit of their prey. Their yelp-
ing is said to be terrific, resembling
the note of bloodhound. All of when
tends TO show that the origin OF these
legends of goblin hounds is 10 be found

sponsor for the Christmas Ship, the

organizations be maintained whenever
I possible. Don't let them die. There

community will be made richer by the
continued activity of the organization

Each community knows its own

an ample field for future generous
service. There is a great deal of I'M
employment in our city; there always

it is our duty to relieve this need as
much as possible. The Herald hopes
and believes that the generous spirit
that came so powerfully to the aid OF
the Christmas Ship will be equally
prompt to seize the opportunity for
doing good at home.
There are organizations for charit-
able relief in this city which the
Herald is glad to indorse. There is
the United Charities. 1t is doing much
to help those in distress. Its appeals
should not, will not, go unheeded, par
ticularly at this time, when the need
for help is great. Then there is the
Good Fellow" movement of the Chi
cago Tribune. That is a continuing
enterprise that is also doing a great
work in Chicago. Help it along!
The editor of the Herald has sort
of paternal interest in the Chicago
Tribune's Good Fellow" movement.
He has had occasion to learn from
personal observation that 1t taps an
