MACK ADMITS HE
Stirring OLD men
Says Early Action Is Hastene6
by Dickering of One With
Federal League.

Philadelphia, Pa. Oct 31.-Conny
Mack, manager of the Athletic, has
asked waivers on Bender, Plank and
Coombs.
Mack said he had no intention of re
tanning any of the three players for
1915. But he would not have asked
waivers now if one of them had not
said he was dickering with the Fed
erals.
These pitchers have all done won
derful work in their careers. Each
has figured as a hero in the world s
series. Plank is said to be one of the
greatest left handlers ever developed.
Bender is known as the "sure money
pitcher Coombs had not pitched
much since he was injured in the
worlds series in New York in 1911.
Plank at his home in Gettysburg ad-
mitted over the telephone he had been
made an offer by the Federals, but
was surprised that Mack was willing
to get a waiver on him.

ENTERS PROTEST
over KRO0NLAND
State Department Asks England
Why Copper Laden Steam
er Is Not Released.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 31-Formal
protest to England against the deten-
ton of the American copper-laden
steamer Kroonland has been made by
the state department.
The British authorities were asked
why the Kroonland has not been re-
leased or sent to the prize court. This
government insists there is no further
reason for her detention, as she was
bound for Italy and Greece.
Gibraltar, Oct. 81. - The Italian
steamers Regina d. Italia and San Go.
vanni, bound from American ports to
Italy, copper laden, and seized by
British as prizes will be held pending
decision of the prize court. Their
seizure has caused a protest to the
state department from four copper
companies interested.

German Officers on Newly
Bought Ships Blamed
for Bombardment.
OFFICIAL HAS DENIAL
Cars Ambassador Unable to
Get Passports When Asked
for at ConStantinopIe.

Washington, Oct 31.-The Turkish
Ambassador at Constantinople yester-
day that the raid by Turkish warships
on Russian seaports took place with
out the knowledge of the Ottoman
government and presumably under the
influence of the German officers and
crew. This information is contained
in a dispatch from American Ambassa-
tor Morgenthau to Washington. Nor
genhau says when the Russian am
bassador tried to see the grand vizer
yesterday to get his passports the
vizer pleaded illness and did not see
him.
Morgenthau's dispatch made no men
tion of a declaration of war nor of in
ternal conditions in Turkey. He will
probably take over the French and
British embassies. The Russian en-
bassy has been turned over to the
Italian ambassador.
No Declaration of War.
London, Oct. 31.-There has been no
declaration of war made by Turkey or
Russia, and the suggestioa.-is-asain
made In various quarters that the
German commanders of the cruisers
Goeben and Breslau, ships bought by
Turkey from Germany, may have fore
ed the situation without authority of
the Turkish government in chagrin
for the German defeat on the Wis
tula.
A Post Petrograd dispatch says the
statement that the sultan's palace was
threatened by guns of the cruiser
Goeben is probably untrue. A dispatch
to the News says the Turkish minis
try is sitting continuously in Co STAN
tinople and that CONSERVATION pre-
walls among the populace.
Berlin, Oct. 81. The Anzeiger,
commenting on the Russo-Turkish sit
uation, says Russia started the clash
between the two countries by an at
tack on Turkeys integrity, and Tur-
keys attack on the Odessa was the
natural outcome of that outrage

CHARGES PLAN TO
CAPTURE 2 CITIES
Empires Now at War Have
Eyes on American Ports,
Declares Roosevelt.

Washington, D. c., Oct 31.-War
department officials were interested
but not surprised at the statement of
Roosevelt yesterday to Princeton stu
dents that he had seen plans of two
empires now in the European conflict
for seizing New York and San Fran
cisco. 1t is said 1t is the practice
of world powers to make preparation
for any events war may bring, and
therefore the present case is not of
particular significance.
Princeton, N. j., Oct. 31.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt told the students
at Princeton in an address Friday that
he had seen the plans of two empires
now involved in the European war to
capture great American seaports and
hold them for ransom.
1T is this country's duty" said Col
onel Roosevelt, ito put itself in such
shape that it will be able to defend its
rights if they are invaded. l, myself,
have seen the plans of at least two
empires now involved in war to cap
ture our great cities and hold them for
ransom because our standing army
is too weak to protect them. l have
seen deliberate plans prepared to take
both San Francisco and New York and
hold them for ransoms that would
cripple our country and give funds to
the enemy for carrying on war"
Continuing. the former president
said:
Il hope the time will come when
this country will provide that every
man may have to practice in marks
manship and have some military train
ing. 1t also is my earnest hope that
We shall finally achieve international
status by which there shall be a posse
comitatus, when we can combine TO
