BRAND VIZIER REGRETS ACTION
IN BLACK SEA WILLING TO
RECALL HIS FLEET.
ENTENTE POWERS OBDURATE
Great Britain, France and Russia Not
Disposed to Yield Will Demand
Full Reparation for Warlike Opera
tions Germans Continue Attacks.
Western Newspaper Union New Bert e
London, Nov. 3. A ltewter dispatch
from Petrograd says:
"In reply to a telegram from the
Turkish grand vizier expressing regrot
at the rupture of the relations exist
ing between Turkey and Russia, ow
ing to an attack by the Russian fleet,
Serglus Sazonoff, the Russian minis
ter of foreign affairs, denied that the
Russian fleet was the first to Are and
said he feared it was too late to enter
into pour parlours of any kind with
Turkey."
London, Nov. 2. The grand vizier
of Turkey has apologized on behalf
of his government for the warllko
operations of tho Turkish fleet under
German commanders in the Black sea,
"but it was stated authoritatively this
evening that the porte will have to
so very much farther than this befoh)
the powers of the triple entente will
agree to resume friendly relations
with the Ottoman government.
It was disclosed in a statement Is
sued by the French government this
evening that Turkey, in reply to a
note presented by Russia, Franco and
England on Friday last, agreed to
recall her fleet from the Black sea,
but refused to dismiss the German
officers from her ships and that, as
it was believed she could .not main
tain a passive attitude without doing
this, the ambassadors of the entente
powers demanded their passports and
left Turkey.
There is every reason to believe
that, despite the, apology of tho Ger;
man grand vizier, which it is under
stood comes from tho peace party in
the Turkish cabinet and may not be
adverse to Enver Pasha, the minister
of war, and his young Turk follow
ers, France, Russia and Great Britain
not only will demand reparation for
the warlike operations of the Turk
ish fleet in the Black sea, but will
insist that Turkey's entire fleet, or,
.-at any rate, the cruisers Goeben, Bros
lau and Hamidleh, bo put out of com
mission until after the war, Turkey's
security being guaranteed in the
meantime.
This would give Russia such supe
riority in the Black sea that there
would be no danger of Turkish raids.
It is suggested also that demobiliza
tion of the Turkish army would be
demanded; which would mean that
those troops which have crossed the
Egyptian frontier must be withdrawn.
WAR SUMMARY.
Nov. 3. Although Turkey seems to
desire to back down from her position
at a belligerent against Russia and
ner allies, tho powers comprising the
triple entent, Great . Britain, France
and Russia, have not yet accepted an
apology offored by the grand vizier for
the attacks made on Russian ships in
tho Black sea by the Turkish warships.
An official statement issued by tho
French government Indicates that the
allies are holding aloof from settling
the controversy until Turkey agrees
to their stipulation that the German of
ficers in Turkey employ be discharged.
Tho Turks have agreed to with
draw their fleet from the Black sea,
but as yet have failed to acquiesce in
the demand for the dismissal of tho
German officers. Thus Turkey's posi
tion in the European war still remains
to be decided.
If reports be true the sultan's forces
are not remaining quiescent while the
negotiations between the gand vizier
and tfie allied nations are in progress,
for an official communication from
Vienna says the Turks and Russians
are In battle near Treblzond, a Turk-
ibu purl, uu me umun. oeu, nuiiu uu-
other dispatch declares that tho Turks
have seized a Russian steamer at Con
stantinople. The Servian minister,
following the example of tho Russian
representatives, is leaving Constantl-'
nople. Meanwhile fierce lighting con
tinues between the allies and the Ger
mans along the battle lines in France
and Belgium and between tho Ger
mans, Austrians and Russians in the
east. No decisive engagements havo
vDeen declared, but, according to ad
vices, attacks are being made or re
pulsed by their respective armies.
One of tho new features In the war
situation Is tho announcement by tho
British admiralty that tho entire
North sea has been declared a military
area and that vessels plying its watera
will be in grave danger from mines
which have been planted unless they
obey nils laid down by the. admiralty.
Those mines wero laid, according to
the admiralty, to offset similar action
by tho Gormans to the north of Ire
land. A news agency says the Gormans
havo placed big guns on Borkura
Island In the North sea

TURKEY ALLIED '
WITH GERMAN!
Eleven European Powers Are
Now Engaged in Warfare,
Including Portugal.
OTHERS MAY BE DRAWN IN
Sultan Has Large Army Officered by
Germans, Ready to Take the Field
Turkish Troops Threaten British
Occupation of Egypt Fighting at a
Standstill In Western Belgium Gen
eral News of the War.
London, Nov. 2. Turkey has defi
nitely thrown its lot with the alliance,
and If Portugal is counted there now
are 11 powers Great Britain, Franco,
Russia, Germany, Austria, Belgium,
Servia, Montenegro, Portugal, Japan
and Turkey at war, with prospects
of four more Greece, Bulgaria, Italy
and Roumanla being drawn in.
The note which Great Britain pre
sented to Turkey on Friday, demand
ing an explanation of the actions of
tho Turkish fleet In the Black sea and
the dismantling of tho former German'
cruisers, the Goeben and the Breslau,
was really an ultimatum to which Tur
key was required to make "a reply by
Saturday evening.
Allies' Envoys Get Passports.
So far as Is known here, telegraph
ic communication with Turkey be
ing interrupted, no answer was made,
and the ambassadors at tho Turkish
capital, it Is understood, demanded and
received their passports.
Turkish troops which had been on
the Egyptian border for some time,
already are reported to have crossed
the frontier, while the Turkish fleet
continues to menace Russian towns
and shipping In tho Black sea.
Neither Russia nor Great Britain
was unprepared for this movo by
Turkey, which government officials
Bay, was known to be under the Influ
ence of Germany, and the allied pow
ers have forces on hand ready to op
pose a turklsh lnvaslpn.
Turkey's Action Looked For.
London, Nov. 1. It has been ex
pocted for weeks that, yielding to Ger
man pressure and promises, Turkey
would break Its neutrality and do
some belligerent act.
Six hundred German officers havo
arrived in Turkey since tho war be
gan. They brought siege guns, field
guns and ammunition with them.
It is computed that Turkey has
from 600,000 to 700,000 men ready to
tako tho Held. Tho Gorman officers
put tho number at 900,000.
Tho menace of Turkey's action lies
in tho possibility of a "holy war" by
MohamraedanB against Christians. She
undoubtedly will attempt to Incite to
revolt tho great mass of Mohammedan
subjects of Great Britain In Asia and
Africa.
Italy to Enter War.
Italy's hand 1b expected soon to bo
forced. Franco has looked to Italy
to dominate tho Balkans, and In tho
present crisis with Turkey's army,
numbering between 700,000 and 900,
000, thrown into tho conflict, sho can
not do so by continuing her neutral po
sition. Greece is also likely to enter tho
war at once. Sho will, of course, op
pose her ancient enomy, the Turks.
Roumanla probably will do likewise.

Oct. 31. Tho German cruiser Bres

NEITHER SIDE MAKES GAINS
Battles In Western Belgium Virtually
a Deadlock German Trenches
Flooded.
London, Nov. 2. Tho battle In west
ern Belgium and northeastern Francp
continues with varying success The
advance made by the allies at certain
pdnts c'tcn nrc counteracted by tV
retreats at other points, but in gen
eral they seem to havo slightly tho
advantage
Tho steady bombardment of tho soa
coaBt by tho ships of the British fleet
has caused the Germans to move fur
ther inland, and Belgian troops were
reported to have reached Mlddel
korko, midway between Ostend and
Nleuport.
The Belgian war office asserts that
the Germans who had occupied part
of Ramscapolle were forced back
across the railroad between Nleuport
and Dixmude. The German statement
admits that their troops In this dis
trict havo been handicapped by tho
flooding of tho trenches by tho open
ing of tho dikes.
Allies Gain Near Ypres.
Tho French statement says that re
peated German attacks in the vicinity
of Ypres have been repulsed and that
the allies have made progress both
north and east of that city. Hollo
becke and Messlncs, which wero taken
by tho Germans, havo been recap
tured. Tho British troops south of Pass
chendael were forced to cede some
ground, which later was recaptured.
A significant statement bearing on
the developments in Belgium Is con
tained in the following message from
the Exchange Telegraph company's
correspondent at The Hague:
"Several trains filled with cannon
and submarines bound from Germany
to tho Belgian coast and destined for
the attack on the English coast, have
passed through Liege, but have been
Btopped at Bruges until further no
tice, tho attack ort England having
been postponed until the present bat
tle Is decided."
Claim Capture of Germans.
London, Nov. 2. A dispatch from
northern Franco to tho Times says:
"A report has been received that
as tho result of the blowing up of a
railway bridge by a Belgian cyclist
corps a large German force was cut
off from tho main army and surron
dored In a body. Tho prisoners are
said to number many thousands."
Statement Issued by Germans
Berlin, Nov. 2. Tho statement Is
sued by tho German army headquar
ters said:
"Tho operations in Belgium have
been mado difficult owing to inunda
tions of tho Yser and tho Ypres canals
by the destruction of tho sluices at
Nleuport. Our troops have advanced
near Ypres. At least GOO prisoners
were captured; also some British
guns.
"Tho forces fighting to the west
ward of Lille also havo progressed.
"A number of prisoners wero taken
near'Vallly about 1,500. In tho re
gion of Verdun and Toul there has
been only insignificant fighting."
Dikes Opened by Belgians.
On tho Battle Front, via Paris, Nov.
1. The German forces In tho lower
Yser valley In Belgium havo been com
pelled to retreat, according to an offi
cial announcement issued hero. Tho
Belgians opened the dikes In tho val
ley and the Germans wore compelled
to withdraw from tho flood of water
that poured forth against them. As
the Germans retreated they were
shelled by tho Belgians.

SUCH a pretty party gown, in which
ono of those beaded garnitures Is
featured, 1b shown hero. The bodice
and apron-tunic, of beaded net, is a
now development of tho ready-mado
bodice and tunic affairs that have
bo dollghttully helped out in tho mak
ing of evening gowns. Tho straight
hanging front, with frill of lace falling
below tho wnlBt lino, Is tho most up-to-date
of stylo touches. Juet now fashion
docs nothing to tho waist lino but
ignoro It. She would liko to havo all
her devotees forget it, and a great
number of them do.
Tho dress Is ot cropo de chine made
with straight-hanging skirt yvlth some
drapery near" the "bottom where tho
feft side vanishes under a hemmed
bias edgo at the right. Tho bodico Is
tho simplest imaginable, a "baby
waist" that Is, a plain gathered front
and back with short plain Blooves. It
is merely a foundation and background
for tho beaded bodice ot tho tunic.
Dainty Footwear for Evening
THE day has come when displays ot
elegant footwear may bo said to
rival displays of Jewelry In brilliance.
Judging from tho drossy shoes and
slippers which fill tho show cases ot
tho shoo shops, and thoso of depart
ments In tho great stores, tho adjec
tives which havo beon used in de
scribing gowns and hats will find
themselves associated In tho tuturo
with clothing for tho feot. It will
require them to convey any Idea of
tho daintiness nnd brilliance that
characterlxo the noweat footwear for
evening.
Black patent leather combinations
with white kid make up a great num
ber of tho handsomest slippers. But,
besides those, thero aro combinations
of bronze, gold nnd silver with fab
rics and slippers of theso fancy leath
ers alone, us well as slippers mado of
fabric alone. Tho array is dazzling
and in point of variety bewildering.
Just now there 1b a liking for white
satin on which gold or silver figures
aro thrown up in embroidered de
signs. These are finished with small
but most brilliant buckles of rhlne
Btones. Certainly such slippers de
serve to bo called confections in foot
wear. But to got any Idea of the va
riety which confronts tho purchaser,
Just the display In a single show case
may be described to glvo a clear idea
of tho leading stylo-feature for this
season.
First there is a satin novelty called
tho Polnclana slipper. It Is a plain,
beautifully 'shaped model with short'
vamp, somewhat pointed too and
French heoh At the back tho satin
extends upward to tho ankle, where
It Is fastonod to a volvet band. This
band enclrcliB tho ankle, fastening
with two snull pearl buttons at tho
Bldo. Ono muy chooso this slipper

Next to It stand tho Empress, quite

The sleeves aro finished with a nar

The bodice of tho tunic covers the
underbodico back and front, A narrow
fringo of beads finishes tho short
Bloevos. At tho back the bodico may
bo finished with a girdle or the frill ot

black satin vamp and white satin
quarters. Very plain, very beautifully
finished and very olegant, the Em
press is shown in this slnglo combina

slipper has a black satin

satin extended ovor tho instep in a
strap. Tho edges of tho slipper mid

this now creation is fastened with a
doublo buckle of brilliant rhtnestones
at tho side. Ono may have it in all
black or all white, either of them
handsomo enough but having not
quite the snap ot black and white and

Next comes a quiet model in bronze
kid having a tongue embroidered
with bronzo beads, and then a tango
tie in bronze laced across tho instep
with ribbon which ties about tho
