actual lighting. While ct the front one
shell burst near by, killing eleven men.
On account Of his diplomatic status
Mr.. Gibson II precluded from disouss-

government officials At HavTe. Then at
the instance Of the BslgiAns them
selves he proceeded to Belgium. and
there was received by both the king
and queen.
The king and queen are doing heroic
work, according to Gbso4. The king
shows no fear and IL in the trenches

talking with his men. W,
The queen Is no less brave. She. too,
ventures into tho perilous zone. She
is in charge Of the organisation OF hos

ROOSEVELT BECOMES .ALARMlsr
Says Warning European Nations Have
Designs Against United States.

Princeton. Oct. 31-Col Theodo ore
Roosevelt told the students at Prince
ton In an address yesterday that he had
seen the plans Of two empires now In
volved in the European war to capture
great American seaports and hold them
for ransom.
1T is the country's duty" he said,
Ito put itself in such shape that 1t will
be able to defend it's rights II they are
invaded. 7, myself. have seen the plans
Of at least two empires now involved
In war to capture our great cities and
hold them for ransom because our
standing army iS too weak TO protect
them. have seen deliberate plans
prepared to take both San Francisco
and New York and hold them for ran
som that would cripple our country
and give funds to the enemy for carry
ing on war"
Continuing. tho former presiden.
said:
Il hope the time will come when
this country will provide that every
man may have to practice in marks
manship and some military training.
1t ie also my earnest hope that we
shall finally achieve international stat
us by which there shall be posse
comftatus. when we can combine to
coerce any recalcitrant power: but we
have seen the utter worthlessness Of
scraps of paper and other treaties that
may be swept aside like dust In a
windy street. A night never was won
by parrying: you've got to hit and not
hit soft. The American people owe It
to themselves to make their hand safe

General Advance Of
Allied Armies in
France is Ordered

London, Oct. 31-The impression Gre
ated here by the latest news is that a
general advance of the allied forces
in France and Belgium have been or
dered, SO main interest again is CEN
tered in the cockpit covering thirty or
forty miles from the scaboard.
The general trend of the movement
OF both the German and the allied arm
les is for the moment according to both
British and French official statements,
In northerly and northeasterly direc-
tion which is in accordance with the
desires of the allied commanders, but
that Germany has delivered more ham,
mer blows than before attempted Is
the information Of the British official
bureau.
Despite these counter strokes it is
reported all the movements are in a
forward direction toward the line still
held by the Germans in force and
stretching from Bruges to Thiamount.
Roulers. Iseghem and Courtrai. Wheth-
er from Bruges this line extends to Os-
tend or Zeebrugge is mote point.
there being up to the present no official
confirmation of the reported reoccupa-
tion Of Ostend by the allies. Definite
confirmation Of the reported evacua-
tionN Of Lille by the Germans also is
lacking.
The battle in the vicinity of Ypres is
of most stubborn character, especi-
ally at Passchendalle and the neigh
boring villages, and the slaughter Is so
great that central west Flanders has
become one enormous hospital. The
allied advance in this quarter is push
ing near Roulers, which is occupied by
the Germans after undergoing great
damage each time 1t changed hands.
Rheims again has become the target

Washington, Oct. 31.-The Turkish
minister Of finance informed the
French ambassador at Constantinople
yesterday that the raid Of Turkish
warships on Russian seaports took
place without the knowledge Of the
Ottoman government and presumably
under the influence Of German officers
and crew. This information was con-
veyed in dispatch today from Am

Mr.. Morgenthau added that the Rus

Ambassador Morgenthau's dispatch

that Americans thruout the Ottoman
