The attack was started before the expiration of the armistioe. The Turks occupied Platana, and para lyzed the evacuation of the Causasian corps which now is grouped along the coast.
 Platana is small Turkish port on the Black sea in the vilayet of Treb- izond, 15 miles west of the city of Trebizond and 100 miles west of the Russian border. At the height of their successes in Turkey the Rus sians pushed considerably west of Platana and well to the south, occu- pying all of Turkish Armenia
 Long after fighting ceased on thc Russo -Galician front the Russian troops in the Caucasus kept up the campaign, but for several weeks no report from thfs front had been re- ceived. The Russians agreed in Brest- -Litovsk to evacuate Turkish territory, and the withdrawal was under way at the time of the new Turkish attack Occupation of Pla- tana would cut off the retreat of Rus sian. forces along the coast west of that point.

 Although week or more has gone by since it was announced that the president would go to Europe imme diately after the converting of congress next Monday, nothing has been made known concerning his plans, such as the sailing time or whether he will first visit France or England.
 From preparations being made in England for his reception, it is gen. erally believed that the president will go to that country to stay several days before continuing to Paris. It is known that several representatives of the government have preceded him to England to arrange for his stay there.
 There also has been no announce ment as to what ship the president will use in making the voyage. It was said at first that he would cross on the former North German Lloyd liner, Kaiser Wilhelm, which has a special suite for the kaiser. When prepara- tions for the use of this ship were un- der way, however there was a change of plans, and it now is said that he will cross on the George Washington, another former German liner seized in | an American port when this nation en- tered the war.

They will be organized for purposes of trans portation into provisional companies or from 100 to 150 men, with the requisite number of officers and will be sent to designated camps to be mustered out. It is assumed that efforts will be made in France to put into each provisions company, men from the same genera locality in the United States, in ordei to ease the demobilization transporta- ton problem on this side.
 Secretary Baker also revealed today that a general principle to govern the payment to be made to Great Britain for services rendered by her transport fleet or cargo craft, in transporting or supplying American forces had been reached. He said that in conference with Lord Reading, the British ambas- sador, it had been agreed that payment to be made by either government to the other, for such. service, would be mace on the basis that no profit was to ac crue to either Great Britain or the United States.

K. c. TO DETERMINE
 RIGHT OF WAR BOARD

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 25.-whether the national war labor board has power to make wage awards, and whether the federal court has author ity to increase street car fares to put into effect the award, are to be decided at hearing which began in the fed eral court here today, on the Kansas City Railway company's application for an injunction to prevent interfeY- ence in an increase in car fares.
 The ruling, it is said, not only will affect street car companies throughout the country, but also will have a bear ing on various other wage awards granted by the war labor board.
 The contention of Kansas City, as expressed formally by the city coun- sellor, is that the federal court has no jurisdiction in fixing rates and that the war labor board cannot bind the city to increased fares.
 The street railway company seefJ to increase its fares from six to ;Aght cents, in order to be able to meet the award of the labor board increasing the pay of it's employees.

 The closest friend of Frank Luke, Jr., among those of the 25th aero squadron was Lieutenant J. Wehner, who came from Everett, Massachusetts. Like Luke, Wehner was modest and unas- sllming. If there was any credit to be giyen for an exploit, each was quick to RiVe it to the other.
 Frequently Luke and Wehner went ont together, his brother officers have siId. It was their plan for Wehner to Gy high, while Luke kept closer to the ground in their search for balloons and Grplanes of the enemy. Luke had a reputation of being able to maneuver his plane at a higher rate of speed than any other man in his squadron. "Sau- sage hunters" they term these men who make the observation balloons their special prey.

The renewed war against the disease was marked by the opening of three emergency hospitals.

Early in the day it was announced that policemen would be instructed to see to it that the rule issued Saturday, and requiring the wearing of masks in stores and on street cars, was enforced to the letter City Attorney James A. Marsh, how ever, advised Dr. William H. Sharpley that no existing city ordinance gives the city this power. so the rules have been amended to make the wearing of masks compulsory on the part of all persons meeting the general public in their business, such as street car con- ductors. employees in stores, and ush- CTS in theaters, and on all persons at tending theaters or frequenting pool halls.
 State Conditions Improve
 At the same time the city recom- mends that all persons entering stores or riding on street cars wear masks, and has instructed it's police officers to see that the rule, limiting the num- Der of persons on a street car to 65, is enforced.
 Material improvement in conditions throughout the state was reported to pr. E. E. Kennedy, secretary of the state health board, today. Pueblo is the only city where the death rate is not smaller than week ago, the lat est Pueblo report showing 35 new cases and Il deaths in one day. Dr. Kennedy is authorizing the lifting of the closing ban in many cities, and is permitting schools to reopen where the boards give assurance that the chiF- dren will be given medical examina- tion at least daily.
