London, Nov. 3.-Turkey is making
frantic efforts to keep out of the
war.
1t is stated in diplomatic circles
that the grand vizier rendered to
the powers on behalf of Turkey an
apology for the acts of the Turkish
battleships in their raid on Russia
Black sea ports. Although no official
statement has yet been made on the
subject, the report is given credence
generally.
While negotiations for Turkish ex-
trication from her belligerent situa-
tion were proceeding, combined
British and French squadron in the
Gulf of Techechme hunted down and
sank two Turkish warships. They
were the Turkish gunboat DUDE
Kreiss and the Turkish armed steam
ship Kinaliada.
Passports Held Back.
1t was officially announced that the
Turkish ambassador to London had
been given his passports. Shortly af-
terward it was stated by the attaches
OF the office OF Sir Edward Grey. min
lister of foreign affairs, that the report
was premature.
Then came a visit of the Turkish
ambassador to the foreign ministry
for a lengthy conference, after which
1t was said that Turkey would sever
her German connection and would
cease all hostile activity.
A Reuter- dispatch from Constants
nople says that Turkey has already
invaded British soil. Two thousand
armed Bedouins are reported to have
entered Egypt.

in which the ministers failed to agree
upon a military program because of
the strong representation of the peace
party, has brought the situation to an
acute stage.
The army is now modified TO
a strength of 100000 men, and the

left for the war cabinet which is GER
tain to be appointed to decide that
italy cannot longer remain neutral in

miles from a shipping station is far
better off than one who lives four miles

times as much on his wagon, to say

he had drawn to Ionia that day, q dis
lance of six miles, 1872 bushels of
wheat over what is known as the
Bellevue road, which was built and
approved by the state highway de-
partment last year. This same farm
.er stated that for more than 90 years
heAhad resided upon the farm he. now
occupies and that never before had
ne been able to draw over 40 bushels.
Now, oyer the same road, under new
Conditions. he draws more than three
times as much with greater ease and
comfort. The experience OF that man
is the experience OF every farmer
under like conditions. This farmer
saved three days time and, in -addi-
zion, the saving to his team, wagon and
harnesses must be taken into con-
sideratien.> - -

The next ten years will see in the state

At the regular meeting of the chan Der of Commerce last Mon- day night there was a good at- tendance, The most vital sub- 5ect of the community, the Town site Survey. was thoroughly dis clssad. This Chamber of Con- merce was born out of a realiza- uoa that individual effort could lily produce results beneficial to

 therefore the department is ob-

 If an individual writes to the
 land office he simply represents
 one, and therefore his import
 ance is relatively small, his re-

 you owe a duty 0 yourself as
 well as that of the town to be- come a member of the Chamber, and put your shoulder to the wheel of commerce and lay all personal prejudice aside. The Chamber of Commerce offers the merchants a means of crystaIiz- ing their business opinions in a fair and equitable way. and to make them effective. It helps them in the solution of their var ious problems through the ex- change of ideas. and thus help i to strengthen the business situa- tion of the town. The only way to gain success is by cooperation we should extend our efforts in uniting for our own in terests and the good of the town in general. The time has ar rived when the hatchet should be buried and factions dissolve, and every citizen of cur town should combine efforts and work in unison to accomplish one def mite end: the settlement of this disputed townsise survey, which has been a blot on our town for years.
