A dispatch from Roma to the Express says a report hna reached there that 400,000 Turks are massed ,on the Caucasian border and that 300, .000 are waiting at Beyreut, Jaffra and , other porta for transshipment to the ; Stnal Penlnaula. The ports, It Is said .are well guarded by the British and French fleets. The note which Great Britain pre- aented to Turkey on last Friday, do mandlug an xplanatlon of the action of the Turkish fleet In the Black Sea and dismantling of the former German cmsJers, the Gooben and tho Brealan was really an ultimatum to which Turkey was required to make a reply by Saturday night. , So for as Is known here, telegraphic- communication with Turkey being In terrupted, no answer was made and the ambassadors at the Ottoman cap ital of tho triple entente. It la under stood, demanded and received their passports. TurklBh troops, which had been on the Egyptian border for some time al ready are roportod to havo crossed tlAj, frontier, while the Turkish fleet con tinues to monnce Russian towns and shipping In the Black Sea. V : - 'T V -4L. L v. v ' . 0 Count German States. von Berntorff, who Ambusador to the I the United BRIEF WAR NEWS The bombardment of Russian ports on the Black Hen coast by Turkish warships whs the most Important event In the European conflict during the past week, The entrance of Tur key Inlo the conflict on the side of tho Germnn adds to the compllca- ioiis and will undoubtedly widen tbe liriiM affected, Tho bombardment of the Russian ports seems to have taken place with out the direct sanction of the Turkish foreign office. Tho Turkish foreign minister made a disavowal to the French ambassador, declaring the ac tion was duo to tho German officers and crew on the Turkish war ship. Till disavowal did not prevent a breach and a state of war exist be- ween Great Britain, Franco and Rua- dn. Germany failed to curry forward her offensive In western Belgium dur ing tho week. The dominant German military mnxlm to be always doing something, has been well emphasized In the coastal assault, but without re sult. Throughout the great battlefront there ha been a repetition of attack and counter attacks, with at time a pronounced thinning of the line, whether they have gained a llght ad vance or have been thrown back. The German made a particularly violent attack east of Solssons on the Alsne, and, according to tho German report, drove the French across the river. The allies have held their own In Flnndws and northern France through the week. That they have been un able to carry out a counter offensive is not as serious as Is tho failure of the Germans to resume the Initiative. For the second time, the western oiiemy has resisted the crushing pro cess, and It Is doubtful whether a third attempt as powerful as either of the two others Is now possible. Certainly tho buttle of Flnndur did not have tho strength behind It of the first as sault, directed against Paris. Germany has admlttttd, In the course of the week, that a retreat has been necessary In Poland. Nevertheless, there have been Intimations from IV trograd as the week ended, that tbe German retirement had been checked and a new offensive, apparently, was being planned by General von 1! Indentions. The Germana for five days carried out heavy offensive movements, but, according to the Russian reports, were repulsed with Immense losses. In Po land the Germana are reported to be falling back to new ' positions near their own frontier, while In Galicla the Ightlng continues without any muter .al change,. While the larger ships of the Ger man navy remain under the protection of their harbors, the submarines con tinue to show activity, and another British cruiser has been sent to the bottom as a result of a raid by one of these destructive boats. The offi cial announcement of the sinking of tho light cruiser Hermes In the straits ot Dover gives no details except that she was destroyed by a German sub marine and that most of her officers and men were saved. Now York. For the first time 1" tbe history of the United State the voter Tuesday directly selected one third of the membership of the United State senate. In consequence added Interest was felt In the outcome. In addition to the senators an entire new UouhO of representative was elected. In addition to tho national feature of the campaign there were many bit ter state contests. In Six states Ohio, California, Missouri, Washington and Oregon the voter passed upon the question of prohibition of the liquor traffic. Women' suffrage was a distinct factor In seven states. In Ohio, Ne braska, Montana, Nevada, North and South Dakota and In Missouri. In thl connection severnl well known figure In the national political world have retired and were not can didate to succeed themselves. Top ping the list I Ellhu Root of New York, who after many year of public leadership refused to submit hi can didacy to the electorate because he ha steadfastly opposed direct elec tion of United States senator. "Undo Ike" Stephenson of Wiscon sin is another "elder statesman" who declined to run again. He declared himself satisfied with his present hon ors and was willing to make way for someone elno. Theodore II. Burton of Ohio, leuder of the conservative wing of the republicans In tbe senate, re fused to be a party to a primary fight and also noes Into retirement Sen ator Coe I. Crawford of North Dakota and Senator Joseph Brlstow of Kansas enjoy the distinction of having been defeated for renomlnatlon at the pri maries. Representative Charles H. Burke beat out Crawford, while for uicr Senator Charles Curtis won the nomination from Brlstow. Cotton Exchange to Open. Washington, D. C An outlet for the tied up cotton market of this country was worked out, when at conference of federal reserve and pri vate bankers together with Sir George Palsh and Basil B. Hlackett, represent ing tbe British treasury, It was simul taneously agreed to open up on No vember 16 the New York and the Liv erpool Cotton exchange. TSING-TAU BATTLE FIERCE Ga Runla Denle Initiative. Petrograd. Tha following official statement was given out here: "The communications from Berlin and Vienna agencies saying that the Russian fleet opened hostilities against the Turkish squadron are common In ventions.

A dispatch from Petro grad says that Odessa was visited by Turkish warship. They succeeded In sinking a mer chant ship. The Turks also bombard ed Novorossysk, a aenport of Caucasia. Two Turkish officers landed at The- odosla, on the southeast coast of Crl mea, to demand the surrender of the port. The governor promptly impris oned them.

Part ot Its crew were drowned and the remainder killed or wounded. Shells also were tired on the sub urbs ot Odessa near a number ot oil tanks, but the tanks were undamaged, A sugar factory, however, was bit. Italian Ministry Out. London. The Italian Cabinet has resigned, according to a dispatch from Rome. The Italian Cabinet has suffered from the same division of opinion as exists in the country at large. Italy's neutrality has been approved by the whole cabinet, but there existed among the ministers two opinions, as in tho country, the one favoring mili tary preparations at any cost, and the other supporting the Idea that the risk of Italy's becoming involved through these measures was disproportionate to any advantage she. might gain.
