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.

ing tbe British treasury, It was simul
taneously agreed to open up on No

statement was given out here:
"The communications from Berlin
and Vienna agencies saying that the

of Qormnn officers."

warships and land artillery which cov

chant ship. The Turks also bombard
ed Novorossysk, a aenport of Caucasia.

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.
