barded Theodosia a Crimean unfor-
titled town. The Hamidieh. of the
Turkish navy, bombarded Novoros-
sysk, east Of the entrance OF Azov.
This makes the eleventh nation in
the war.
The German official report says that
the Germans were forced to withdraw
in Poland in the face of Russian re-
endorsements. This is the first men,
ton from this source of the battle in
that region since the German advance
on Warsaw was frustrated by the ar
rival of large numbers of fresh Rus
sian troops.
The 5000 Germans who crossed the
User on bridges in the night have
either been killed or taken prisoners.
The 5000 Germans who occupied the
char-heaped cemetery which once
was Dixmude, have been driven out
and hunted down in the nearby wood.
Thousands more have swept down
upon the Belgian trenches and entan-
clements in solid masses only to be
met by the bayonet. Many hundreds
have been captured, but fully $500
will be accounted for as missing.
Driven Back Into Germany.
At the extreme eastern end Of the
battle front the allies report another
signific mt victory. Here in the region
beyond Nancy the German line, which
for six weeks has beer stretched, with
out yielding materially, clear across
France, has broken at last. The French
official statement issued says the in
vaders were driven back across the

Blame Russian for Attack.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The German
point Of view of the Rusos-Turkish war
is presented for the first time in q
dispatch from Berlin. Earlier advices
telling of Turkeys attack on Russian
ports and vessels apparently placed
the responsibilities for hostilitiies on
the Porte. but In Berlin 1t IL stated
that It was in reality Russia which
started the war. Turkeys action IL
said In the German capital to have
been Z natural sequence to the "Rus-
sian attack on Turkish integrity"

Turkish empire into the conflict on
the side of the Teutonic allies. Fol-
lowing the Breslau's exploit in BON
harding Theodosia, Russia, Turkish
destrOyers have sunk the Russian gun
boat Donets in Odessa harbor and
damaged three Russian and one
French merchantmen.
No official declaration Of war has
been made, but Turkeys action seems
to make it probable that the area of
conflict may be greatly widened and
the issues complicated. The Balkans,
whence sprung the present European
conflict, present such a network OF
hostile interests that Greece and the
other Balkan nations easily may be
drawn into the vortex.
Teuton Attempt Temporarily or.
News received from the western bat
tie lines indicate that the Germans
desperate attempt to gain Calais and
command the English channel has
failed for the present. The flooding
of the valley of the User canal to-
gether with the work of the British
warships and of the Belgian army
along the coast are reported 10 have
compelled the Germans to withdraw
somewhat, while the British and
French are said to have been able to
advance on the line further into the
interior.
The British naval force neal Nieu.
port consists of three monitors, three
cruisers and a battleship with 12-inch
guns. Destroyers are protecting the
ships from attacks by German subma-
rines, which have been lowering
around the coast.
Dunkirk Prepares for Siege.
A German official report says that
Dunkirk is preparing for a siege and
that the pOpulace is prepared to flood
the locality in case of a German ad-
vance.
No important developments are re-
ceived from Poland or Galicia.
With the announcement that Baron
Fisher will succeed Prince Louis Of
B~attenburg as first sea lord of the
admiralty the newspapers believe that
the warfare on the part of the navy
will be prosecuted sternly.
'The essence of wal is violence:
moderation in war Is imbecility," is
one of Admiral Fishers sayings.
Russ Reoccupy Town.
London, Oct. 31.-The battle of the
User and the series of fights which
have taken place along the whole line
in Belgium and France, appear, with
the troops now exhausted, to have de-
generated into numerous isolated at
tacks and counter attacks in which
the gains and losses are about equally
divided between the combatants.
In Poland, where the Austrians and
Germans are retiring before fresh
armies brought up by Russia, some
thing more decisive has occurred.
Having a week ago driven back the
German right, which was advancing
on Warsaw, the Russians now have
struck to their center. southwest Of
the Polish capital, and, according to
the Petrograd report, have broken the
resistance of the last units of the
armies which are trying to maintain
themselves north Of the Pilitiza river.
The Russian cavalry has r%eoccupied
Radon, where many men and guns
and much war material has been cap
tured.

As another indication Of the pro-
gressiveness Of Grafton's early city
building along the lines of literature,
art and music it is only necessary to
state that Grafton was the first city
IN the state to possess a free public

recognition in public libraries to the
ganized in 1895. This organization
entirely made up of the leading
ladies Of that date who by a series OF
entertainments netted 1920 and by
