Turkey's sen sational entrance into the arena ot the European conflict is the most striking incident of the last twelve aours. It seems a fateful coincidence that one of the famous German cruisers, whose taking over ; by Turkey led to the first friction be tween the Porte, and Great Britain, France and Russia, should have, been the instrument of hostility,' which makes war between Turkey and Rus sia inevitable. i ,.....' . Petrograd accepts the situation quietly and' disclaims any Idea of ag gressive warfare against the Turks. Russia asserts Its intention merely to protect Russian Interests around the 31ack Sea from attack.' It la interesting to note that the Rus sian presa expresses the belief that tha entry of Turkey Into the field ia of more Interest to England than, to Russia on account of Kngland's trade ' routes to India and other points In the far east Tarter la Earope Doomed. ' English newspapers take an equally philosophic view of Turkeys action and express the belief that, while tha mili tary situation will not be greatly changed, Turkex in Europe Is doomed to extinc tion. Unless Bulgaria Joina the enemies of Turkey, an invasion of European Tur key by land is Impracticable, according to British obaervera. and the warfare will be naval. Turkey's navy assisted by the former German crulaera Qleben and Breslau, Is considered here to be far more formid able than Its army, which Is .said to be inefficiently equipped and poorly fed. Greece will lump at tne chance of again measuring' swords with Ita ancient enemy, It .la (elt In London, and with the two battleshlpa recently purchased from the Cnlted States, it will be in a position to meet the Turkish ships on equal terms.

PARIS, Oct 30.-7:10 a . m. Paris . re gards the situation this morning In Flan ders as highly favorable. In official cir cles there prevails an air satisfaction surpassing the impression created by the official communications. Tha second trip of President Polncare to the battle front ia regarded aa a good sign and Is taken to presage Important developments. Military critics regard the prolonged assaults of the Germans along the Yser aa having failed, and they expect that the enemy, following their custom, will now make another effort elsewhere. The great activity in upper Alsace during the last few days suggests .an attack from that quarter. It is declared here that all the German wounded St Saint Louis have been taken across the Rhine, and that all applica tions for safe conduct in upper Alsace have been refused. In spite of the general hopefulness pre vailing in the French camp the deadlock In the extended battle line in France and Germany continues today, according to all the lnformat'on that has been made available here regarding the great battle raging between the Germans . and the allies, . j Official Statement Brief. The -latest French official communica tion, briefer than ever, declarea simply that there is no Important newa to re port. While the fighting appears to be somewhat more general it Is not so fierce, or continuous as it was for the better part of . two - weeks after 'the battle line in the northeast extended Into Belgium along the Yser and - to the coast. Evidently both' sides : are , recuperating as much as possible from the strain of these tremendous .efforts. and are strengthening their lines with the fresh, troops, brought up by reinforcements. No one here doubta that the Germans will shortly renew their efforts to take the channel ports, -but there Is every con fidence that - the allies, as heretofore,, will check, them In this objective. j ' Hsvy Snow la Voacee. I Winter has made ita presence felt all along the battle Una. .Tha last few nights have been very cold and In tha Vosges a heavy anow haa fallen, stopping the German operations there. On the rest of the line the cold Ma not Interfered with the fighting which, however, aa pre viously noted. Is of a desultory character because of the exhaustion of the troopa. German ' Berthaut, a French military 1 critic, aummlng up the situation today in War Summary Interest In the battles raging in the east and west of Europe, where decisive results still are to be Attained, today was momen tarily overshadowed by Turkey's entrance into the great war through its inauguration of hostil ities against Russia. London and Washington agree that this new development proba bly will have slight effect on land operations, but .will nuanlfoet Itself chietty by sea and give the allied fleet In the Mediterranean and ad jacent waters gome busy days or weeks. Aside from this the moBt in teresting phase of Turkey's action is its probable effect on the deli cate Balkan situation, and next, what Greece will do. Should Greece enter the great arena of war, two expatriated American battleships, the old ' Mississippi and. Idaho, recently sold It, may b heard from, What effect Turkey entrance Into the war, bow a conflict of ten nations.' will have ' on Tne un counted millions ot Moslems in Africa and Asia Is a matter -of con jecture. It was made known today that, in addition to sinking two steam ers in the Black Sea and bom barding the city of Theodosla, In the Crimea, Turkish warships had entered the port of Odessa, sunk a Russian gunboat and damaged a French liner. Although no formal declaration of war Is re-, ported, the Russian ambassador at Conatantlnople has been with drawal ' Little newt filtered through to day from the scene of the great battle In, Flanders, and indications were that the censorship had be come still more rigid. The French official statement, while again op timistic in tone, was general in terms and contained nothing to indicate that decided advantages had been won by either side, and it was Inferred that the deadly struggle was yet to run its course. The enormous sacrifices made by the Germans to force a passage of the Yser river are said by the French war office to have been in vain. The German forces, which maintained their hard won place to the south of the Yser, notwith standing the heavy loss of life, are now said to haVe withdrawn. What shot and shrapnel could not accomplish, has been achieved by another device, the Belgians hav ing flooded the lower valley of the river. ' .The French official ' statement indicates that It has again fallen to the lot of the British troops to bear the brunt ot battle. Their presence along the line from Yprei to , Dlxmude is .revealed .in .the statement' which says that violent German' attacks ' in this vicinity were beaten back and that the British , and French were able to push forward. French Official Report Expresses Satisfaction War With Situation PARIS, Oct. 30. The French of ficial announrpment, given out in t Paris this afternoon, says that the forces of the enemy, which had passed the River Yser, have been compelled to withdraw by reason if inundations of the low country, brought about by the Belgian army. The text of the communication Is as follows: "On the extremo left Inundations brought about by the Belgian army i In the lower valley of the River Yser ! have compelled the forces of the enemy, which has passed this river, i to withdraw. They were subject to la violent ranonnade by the Belgian and French astlllery during their movement of retreat. The Germans endeavored yester day to deliver violent counter at tacks on t the French and British army corps, which were progressing to the northeast and to the east of Ypres. At the end of the day our troops had, notwithstanding, contin ued their forward movement In the direction which had been assigned to them, and also had taken possession of various points of support. "The British troops assailed at several points to the north of La Bassee by superior forces, resumed the offensive with energy and re conquered to a considerable .extent the territary yielded to the enemy. At several other points on their line of combat, the British troops re pulsed the attacks of the Germans, Inflicting Important losses.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80.-Rehearlng on the application of eastern railways for a general freight rate Increaae waa con cluded today before the Interstate Com merce commission. It Is expected the case will be considered by the commis sion next week for an early decision. Clifford Thome, speaking In the inter ests of numerous shippers' asaor.lattons, summed up the opposition. He declared nothing in the way of new developments beyond the European war had 'been brought nut to Justify the renewed appeal. Mr. Thome asserted that the financial statements for the current year filed by the carriers to support statements of tha Inadequate revenues, afforded no fair basis for comparison with preceding years because the entire policy of the roads as to rules of accounting ' maintenance charges had been altered. He said the IBM charge showed a great increase de spite falling revenues, while previously these two Items had always moved In the same direction. George F. Browned of rounrel for the railroads devoted much of his argument to the power of the commission to. grant I lie relief sought on the general showing made at the rehearing. He said congress had empowered the commission to re verso Itsilf if new facts warranted and declared the previous ruling denying in creases would have been greatly altered had conditions been as they are now. Mr. Brownell read a cablegram from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, which provoked considerable comment by Com missioners Clements and Meyer. The message compared Prussian and Amer- Icun freight rates, showing the Istter to be lower and said the smbassador had been Informed by the director of tho Deutsche bank that confidence of In vestors In American securities was shaken Iby rising wages and reduced freight rates, j lummissioner meyer inaiMtea the Ilgures could be of no use to the commission, as no basis for the comparison of rates was furnished. j Louis D. Brandels, special counsel for j the lomrulsslon, said Mr. Gerard had been asked If German freight rates had ad vanced and replied they had not. He characterised the message read as a "voluntary statement" At the conclusion of Mr. Brownell's ar gument Ch.ef Counsel Pattersun for the carriers announced that the case waa concluded and the commission adjourned. i M Gonzales Denies Any Part in Plot to r Assassinate Villa MEXICO CITY, Oct 30. -The attempt to aasaaslnate General Francisco Villa mado by Francisco I.
