The entry of Turkey into the war marks a most import ant new phase of it. What the Turk may be able to do himself is not a matter of so much consequence, though Turkey probably can mobil- ize an army of 75O,OO0 men who are good fighters when we'll officered. Her fleet is negligible.
 Talk of a declaration of a "holy war; by the Mohamme- dans of the world, probably has little basis in fact, though it is among the contingencies to be reckoned with. Should the war extend to Egypt and should the Mohammedans of India revolt, the full strength of Japan doubtless would be called into action to preserve the integrity of the British empire east of the Suez canal.
 It may be regarded as fact, however, that the entrance of Turkey into the war means that Greece will follow out her declaration to attack Turkey at once. There can be little doubt that Roumania and Italy will declare war within a few weeks at the most. What Bulgaria will do is conjectural. She may join with the Turks and Germany, and it is quite possible that she may join in a pan-Slavic movement. She may main tain her neutrality to the last.
 With Italy, Greece and Roumania lined up with Great Britain, France, Rus Sia, Belgium and Japan

WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT IF
 TURKEY ENTERING INTO WAR

against Germany, Austria and Turkey, the end of the war will be greatly hastened and the result of it cannot be other than the driving of the Turk back to his home in. Asia, the Europeanizing of Constantipople, the wrestling of "unredeemed Italy" from the Austrians, the dissolution of the dual monarchy with the Slavic provinces joined to Russia or to the Balkan states and the return of Alsace and Lorraine to France, and also the constitution of a new Teutonic empire in which Austria will have about the same relation to Prussia that SaXony sustainS to it now, and the Hapsburg house will cease to have independent rule anywhere.
 The Teutonic people are too great to ever be a subject people. They have done too much for the advancement of civilization, are masters of too much of the worlds learn ing and industry ever to be controlled by the people of another race. They mustsand will retain their independ- ence, but they will not be per imitted to control the inde- pendence of alien races.
 The war is without excuse. The man who shot the Aus trian archduke and precipi- tated the war has been con- victed and sentenced to twen- ty years in prison. That is the penalty for a crime that has bathed Europe in blood and paralyzed the business of the world.

YUMA BOYS fo PLAY
 IN BIC C0LLECE GAME
Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 8, 1914.

Tucson, Ariz., Nov 3, 1914. My Dear MT. Shorey:
 The following write-up may be news of interest to the readers of your highly valued and deeply appreciated paper, and also incidentally a little advertisement for our state univer- sity:
 "The University of Arizona varsity football team will travel to Los An geles Saturday and play Occidental college, who for two years have been the champions of the coast. Last year the Tigers came to Tucson and de- feated the Arizona team in a hard fought contest, 27-0. This year the Desert varsity is the best team in the history of the school, and Coach McKale has tuned his men up with the expectations of heaping revenge upon 'Oxy.' Two Yuma boys will play an important part in this game. Orville McPherson, Y. U HIS. '13, was d IldluSIdy Ou AIlZOud IOdIu 1ooI year, playing right half-back. His line plunging was feature of every game. This year he is back in the same po- sition and is doing the bunting for the team. Emzy Lynch, Y.U. HIS. "A, is a freshman and won a place on the team as center in hot competition. Coach McKale saw promising material in 'Swede' at the beginning of the year and took special measures to de velop him.
 "The Arizona team will leave Tue son on Friday morning on No. 101, at 8 o'clock, with seventeen players, the coach, trainer and manager, and will pass through Yuma at 2:15 p. m. The high school students will be at the station to greet their alumni and wish them good luck
 Yours respectfully,
 EXAMINER READER"

After weeks of anticipation, with daily inspection of the billbaoards and pictures in the store windows, the small boy comes into his own today. The Big Barnes Wild Animal Circus is in Yuma to entertain Young Amer ica and his parents and other rela- tiveE.
 A big circus bristling with as much new entertainment as the Barnes show provides, always sends a thrill along the spinal column of every red blooded youngster and grownup. And, why shouldn't it,-it's the big fun day of the year, the day when folks for miles around come to town to meet and visit their friends and join in having a good time.
 The days frolic was inaugurated by watching the big show unload and erect their tented city-a sight well worth seeing.

REPUBLICANS HAD \
 LANDSLIDE TUESDAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-As a result of the Republican landslide all over the country, Republican leaders here claim that the Democratic majority in the house will be practically wiped out and that the balance of power will be held by a group of Progressrr,, congressman, several Socialists and an Independent.
 The indications early today were that the Democratic majority would be cut to 20, but later returns tonight show this margin is considerably re- duced.

ASK $2,558,917 OF
ILLINOIS CENTRAL

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. Holding
that the Illinois Central Railroad com
pany's property in Illinois is subject
to the state tax rate of 20 cents on
every 500, and with Attorney General
Lucey approving his course, State Aud
itor Brady has ordered the railroad
company to pay to the state tax of
S2,55S,917.32. This is 81, 203, 1884 in
excess of the sum which the Illinois
Central paid in 1913 as per cent of
it's gross income.
The actual increase by the auditor.
however, is $2.171. 723.40, which repre-
sents the difference between the 2
per cent which the company pays in
lieu of taxes and the sum which the
auditor says is due the state in straight
taxation under the new tax rate.
The auditor fixes the total valuation
of the company's right of way, includ-
ing trackage, at s125,00O.000, an in
crease of $4,000, 900 over the valuation
submitted by the company for 1913.
This brings the grand total valuation
TO S365, 559, 617.23, as against $341,559,-
617.2S submitted by the company.

but twice in the past eight days and
then for only a few moments at a

put in an appearance and beamed for

he went into sec.usion and for five
days refused to ca his beaming
countenance over the city. Last Sun
day and Monday he again appeared
and then once more returned to hid
ding. Sunshine has been a scarce

than a month. In December there
were but nine clear days, with four

Washington, Jan. I'm his first an
nual report TO the secretary of the in
terror, Governor J. F. A. Strong OF
! Alaska declares that a more hopeful
feeling is now evident among the peo-
| pie of Alaska than for several years
! preceding, and expresses the belief
! that it is due TO the opinion that the
! territory is about to enter upon new
| era of unparalleled development, in
dustrially and commercially.
J The governor asserts that one of the
chief causes of the slow increase in
the population of Alaska lies in the
fact that the government policies that
have been pursued, instead of encour-
aging the development of the terri
tory's vast natural resources, have had
the effect of discouraging the prospect
ors and miners, who, in a country
such as this, are the advance agents
of development and the couriers of
civilization.
Lack of transportation facilities has
been, and is. another potent cause
which has operated against the devel-
opment of promising mining regions"
he says, "and Joined to all this is The
additional embargo that has been plac-
ed upon the territory by that govern
ment policy which has resulted in lock-
ing up the coal areas of Alaska, thus
preventing their development, the pro-
motion of industry and commercial ac-
tivity, and the increase of population
