TURKEY ENTERS THE EUROPEAN WAR The bombardment of the Russian ports on the Black Sea by the Turk
ish navy and the subsequent action of the Sublime Porte makes it certain that Turkey has entered the European war,
and is against the allies of the Triple Entente. The martial spirit is strong among the Turks, as is shown by the pho
tograph of crowds' in Constantinople cheering the cavalry as the troops leave for concentration camps.
MEXICO CITY. Nov. 2. A dispatch re
ceived here from Aguaa Callentes Bays
that General Kulatlo Gptlerres was
elected provisional president of Mexico
shortly after mldnlKM last night. The
election Is for a period of twenty days
only.
The Agues Callentes convention voted
to meet In Mexica City later.
General Gutlerrex has been pYomlnently
ldentlfed with the Mexican revolutionary
movement that resulted In the expulsion
of General Huerta from the republic. He
Is a close friend of General Carranxa and
roso with Carranza against Huerta In
Carranxa's native state of Coahiula.
Commenting today on the action of the
Aguas Callentes convention. Foreign
Minister Fabcla sold:
"The hleh officers of this government
believe that this convention had no right
to name a successor to General Carranxa.
If General Villa and General Zapata re
fuse to leave the country, with Carranza,
we will have war. The only way to
guarantee peaoe is for these three chief
tains to leave the field.. General Guller
res Is a brave and honorable soldier, tut
the convention must live up to General
Carranza's demands." ,
More ol Bllln Man.
EL. PASO, Tex., Nov. 2. Gutlerrex was
appointed provisional governor of the
state of San Luis Fotosl by Carranxa at
tho beginning of the . constitutionalist
revolution. He Is regarded, however, as
more of a sympathiser with Villa In the
present Controversy.
The naming of. Gutlerrts as head of the
convention of chiefs and acting chief ex
ecutive of the nation, came as a surprise
at this time. He previously has t not
be'fn mentioned as a possibility for '.he
office;. Details of the' voting were r,ot
received here.
The new president of Mexico comes of
the lower middle class. Before he ba
' came a revlullonlst he was a grocer.
The voting at the convention did not
end until after midnight. Gutlerres re
ceived eighty votes. His nearest compe
titor was General Juan Cabral, the
80 nor a commander, for whom thirty of
the delegates voted.
. Ctrram Msklsg Threats.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. -Latest official
dispatches today from Mexico City said
Carranxa wit threatening civil war un
less the convention complied with his de
mand to retire Villa and Zapata wKh his
resignation. The Mexico City papers, by
order of Carranza, are publishing the
correspondence with Washington over the
conditions of evacuation of Vera Crux.
The United States has addressed a note,
through the Brazilian minister in Mexico-
City, to General Carranxa relteratins
Its willingness to withdraw American
forces In Vera Cruz, but Insisting on a
compliance with the original demands of
the State department for certain guar
antees. A copy of the note was sent simultane
ously to the American consular agent at
Aguas Cullontes to be laid formally be
fore the convention. The document 'sets
forth that the United States had been
ready and willing for some time to evac

"Who is running? How shall we

This question is not only pertubing the
teachers who are registering for the Ne
braska State Teachers' association, which
opens Wednesday, but is worrying the
present officials of the association.
Many teachers are dropping blank bal
lots in the ballot boxes.
As the teachers register they vote on
candidates for president, vice president,
secretary, treasurer and members of the
executive committee. The five candidates
receiving the .highest number of votes for
each office are nominated and nominnV
ing blanks are later mailed te each mem
ber of the association and a final vole
taken.
The teachers, hearing nothing from can
didates, which Is unusual, are appealing
to President Kate Mcllugh, Miss Beile
M. Byan, Superintendent K. lT. Graff and
Treasurer John F. Matthews for advice.
"Select your own candidates," said Miss
Mcliugh. "1 will not advise."

Mill prevailed. Here and there
minor advantaRen have been won,
but In the main the ponitlons are
being held on both sides with
dogged tenacity, notwithstanding
the enormous, sacrifice of life.
The confidence of Germans an
to the ultimate result is reflected
In the words of Emperor William:
"I'nder nil circumstances tho
enemy will be beaten," he said, in
addressing one of his regiments.
llerlln states officially that the
situation l.i rcgardc-d as the most
favorable for some time, although
It gives no new details of the fight
ing. The French statement Is
equally hopeful In tone. The allies
are said to have made slight pro
gress at various points, Including
the blood soaked field: of Fland
crs, In the vicinity of Dlxmude. On
tho center and right of the allied
lines assaults of the German are
said to have been repulsed.
The German and Austrian
forces in the east, compelled to re
tire before tho Russian advance,
have taken up new positions and
a renewal of general fighting Im
pends. Austrian successes on the
Huselsn left flank are claimed In
Berlin.
Apparently Turkey Is now defi
nitely Involved In the general war.
What the allies describe as the
"last chance" for Turkey to keep
out of the struggle by disavowing
responsibility for the acts of Its
Dlsck Sea fleet, has not been ac
cepted, and the British govern
ment today handed his passports
to the Turkish ambassador, fol
lowing similar action by Russia.
Meantime the Turkish fleet con
tinues Us acta of aggression. The
Qoeben and ' Bresl'au, German
cruisers acquired by Turkey,' and

reported to have renewed their
