London. Nov. 3.-In spite of tn
fact that Turkey has apOlogized for tn
raid OF warships on Russian seaport
In the Black Sea. Russia has coutir
ued to hurl am army against the MOS
lens In the South, and the Triple Ell
tente has refused to accept the back
down Of the Porte
The Grand Vizier Of Turkey ha
apologized. on behalf of his govern
ment. for the operations OF the Turk
ish fleet under German commander.
In the Black Sea. but 1t was STATED
authoritatively that the Porte must e
very much further than this before
the powers of the Triple Entente vii
agree to resume friendly relations with
the Ottoman government.
1t was disclosed in q statement is
sued by the French government tha,
Turkey. in reply to a note presented
by Russia, France and England ON Fri
day last, agreed to recall her fleet
from the Black Sea-but refused to
dismiss the German officers from her
ships. and that 1t was believed she
could not maintain . passive attitude
without doing this. the ambassadors OF
the entente powers demanded their
passports and left Turkey.
There is every reason to believe
that. despite the apology Of the Grand
Vizier, which 1t is understood comes
from the peace party In the Turkish
Cabinet and may not be adhered to by
Enver Pasha. the minister Of war. and
his Young Turk followers, France.
Russia and Great Britain not only will
demand reparation for the warliks op-
erations Of the Turkish fleet in the
Black Sea, but will insist that Tur-
keys entire fleet. or at any rate the
cruisers Goeben, Breslau and Hami-
dieh, be put out Of commission until
after the war. Turkeys security be-
Ing guaranteed In the meantime.
This would give Russia such superb
ority in the Black Sea that there would
be no danger OF Turkish raids. It is
suggested also that de-mobilixatioo of
the Turkish army would be demanded,
which would mean that those troops
which have crossed the Egyptian from
tier must be withdrawn.
However. as the terms Of Turkeys
apology, which apparently was made
In London, have not been published
and must be considered by the entente
powers before the apology is accepted
or refused, there seems to be a long
way to go before diplomatic relations
between the Ottoman government and
the allies can be resumed.
Meanwhile a report comes from Con-
stantinople Of the seizure Of another
Russian steamer and that Bulgaria,
which has been asked to choose the
side on which she would fight, had
commenced to mobilize her second
line troops.
Martial law was proclaimed BY
Great Britain throughout Egypt An
official notification by the British
charge d'affaires at Cairo was deliv-
cred to American diplomatic agents
there.
On orders from London, the cam
Of the British forces
took command Of the general situa-
tion, with, orders to suppress all out

The German cruiser Karlsruhe has

Armored Trains Used.
Berlin.-Fighting on the northwest
ern flank is now Of a particularly saw
age character. A considerable proper
tion Of the wounded suffer from bayo-
net thrusts, which often pass com
pletely through parts Of the bodies OF
the men.
The Germans along wide stretches
of the battle front of northern France
have removed the civilian population,
thereby stopping the enemy's main
sources of information. The hostile
artillery which in the earlier strug-
giles along the Aisne showed a GER
tain superiority In its firing as re-
suit Of this information. is now work
ing to less advantage.
The Germans are making much use
of armored trains, particularly in as
certaining how far the railroads are
in operation into hostile districts and
In bringing up supplies of ammunition
and provisions through dangerous
country. These trains in many re-
spects are superior to armored auto
mobiles.
The progress Of the battle along the
northern French front is regarded here
as highly favorable. A report that the
French have been thrown back across
the Ainse at a point near Scissors and
that the operations have extended to
the eastern front around Verdun Is
considered the best news received
here from the front for some time
past.
Letters from the front describe the
fighting between Nieuport and Ypres
as probably the fiercest that has 90
