Government Told Black Sea
Fleet Will Fire Upon Con
stantinople at First Sign
of Defection.
Washington, Oct. 16. With the
Berlin-Constantinople railroad cut
' by the allied occupation of Nish,
Germany is relying upon its Black
sea fleet to hold Turkey in line. In
formation has been received at the
, State department that the Turkish
government has been told by Berlin
. that the fleet will open fire on the
Ottoman capital at the first sign of
' defection.
This German fleet consists largely
of warships captured from the Rus-
sians, but is believed here to be
strong enough to control, for the
. present at least, the Turkish govern
ment. It was pointed out today that
with the British forces rapidly clear
ing Palestine and Mesopotamia of
Turkish vontrol, Turkey must hold
" to Constantinople as its only hope of
maintaining any power as a govern
ment. 4 News from Copenhagen that Izzet
'Pasha has been appointed premier
'and minister of war in the new
' Turkish cabinet was interpreted as
'meaning that Berlin still is not with
out a friend at court. Because of
his long service as chief of the Turk
ish army staff and his association
with German 'officers, Izzet is look
ed upon as friendly to Germany.
The accuracy of reports that the
Union and Progress club, the most
powerful organization in Turkey,
had been closed at the demand of
the Turkish army staff, was doubted
by officials here, who said such ac
tion would be tantamount to a mili
tary revolution. If the report is
true anything might happen in Con
1 stantinople.

SCALE Of MtUS r Iwl I
ITALIAN- AMEBICAN NEWS 6URCAU , J 3WIT7ERLANDT-glr,
This week while all eyes are
turned towards the Western Front
in France where the allies fighting
under the wonderful tactics of Foch
have broken the German defenses
and smashed the morale of the main
German army almost to flight, it
must not be forgotten that in the
other theaters of war, the Albanian,
the Bulgarian and the Palestine
groups of allied warriors are making
history for the advance of civiliza
tion and the stabilization of real
democracy.
In France the Hindenburg line has
been broken and is no more, the im
portant key points of Cambrai, St.
Quentin and Argonne woods having
passed under the domination of the
allied armies, while now Lille and
Douai are threatened. The Ger
mans must now withdraw to their
next possible stand in more or less
prepared defenses in a line drawn
probably from Lille through Mez
ieres to Metz.
British troops entered Lille this
morning, according to Haig"sreport
Around Cambrai', St. Quentin
and Lille the fighting has been des
perate but the Americans reinforc
ing the British and French have won
every vantage attempted. From
near Laon, another key position to
Verdun, the Italians, French and
Americans have made marked prog
ress, the terrain in this region being
especially difficult and lending it
self to German defense by machine
gun nests and emplacements of ar
tillery. Since the Germans started
their attempted drive on Paris which
failed the Italians have maintained
their ground at Rheims and steadily
advanced.
From Metz to the Swiss border
th line is held by the French-Italian
American troops and it is expected
that a drive may be inaugurated
there at any moment in the scheme
of Foch's strategy of driving heavily
first on one part of the line and then
another to keep the German com
mand from reorganizing or concen
trating their armies effectively any
where. In Albania the Italian armies to
gether with the French and British
have made notable gains, capturing
important ground and pushing back
the Central powers' soldiers almost
at will. There is no question that
the predicament of the Austro-Ger-man-Turko
forces in the east is fully
as desptrate as they are on the west
front. With the weather holding
good for the next month it is hardly
possible for the Central powers to
stop the gains of the allies and win
ter will find them in a sad and weak
ened plight, that even the winter in
terim will not serve to save them
from utter defeat. The peace drive
of the Germans, so long expected
and which just arrived this week,
has not had the desired effect of
slowing up the allied drive, but it
has without doubt seriously affected
the morale of the armies of the Cen
tral powers and their peoples at
home. It would seem to be the be
ginning of the end, although there
is much fighting to do and much
need of the clearest and highest or
der of statesmanship from now on.

Austrian Minister Declares
Wilson Does Right in Re
quiring Guaranties Be
fore Evacuation.
Basel, Switzerland. Oct. 16. The
central powers found themselves no
longer able to hope for a military
decision in their favor, and Bul
garia's demand for peace only hast
ened the presentation of their peace
propositions, Baron Burian, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
declared in a recent statement to
the foreign affairs committee of the
Hungarian delegation at Vienna.
"Although the central powers have
been able to face the new military
situation," the foreign minister said,
"it must be stated that we cannot
hope any longer for a decisive suc
cess by arms, while our adversaries
are not sure of their power to crush
our resistance. Hence further blood
shed is useless."
Baron Burian said that a senti
ment of pure humanity always per
vaded President Wilson's ideas .of
the solution of world problems,
"even when he joined our adversar
ies and laid down certain principles
directed against us. His declara
tions, therefore, never remained
without influence amongst us and
were never rejected by us in princi
nle"
The foreign minister expressed
the. view that the creation of i
leaerue of nations constituted a pre
liminary condition for the establish
ment of a peace of impartial justice
"such as President Wilson and we
desire. Such a league," he said,
"would form the frame work of the
new world. It is upon it that the
various sttes will build up their
reciprocal relations."
Baron Burian told the committee
of the Hungarian delegation that
President Wilsons declaration that
the evacuation of territory was
necessary before an armistice could
be granted, was "perfectly just and
founded not only on political rea
sons but on positive military rea
sons.
Karon Hunan addea that the as
sent of Austria and Germany to
evacuation had been established and
that he was certainly not too opto-
rmstic in supposing, in view of the
situation, "we are standing im
mediately before a cessation of hos
tilities and shall shortly enter into
negotiations with the entente."

Hour of Distress
To Bring Franchise
Reform in Prussia
Copenhagen, Oct. 16. The last
obstacle to the reform of Prussia's
antiquated three-class franchise has
been removed by the adoption unan
imously of the following resolu
tion by the conservative faction in
the Prussian Diet:
"In the hour of the fatherland's
greatest distress and in realization
that we must be equipped to fight
hard battles for the integrity of the
fatherland's soil, the conservative
party of the Diet considers it a pa
triotic duty to lay aside all internal
conflict and be ready to make
heavy sacrifices to attain the ends
in view. The members of the party
believe that a far reaching radical
ism of the Prussian constitution will
not advance the welfare of the Prus
sian people hut are nevertheless
prepared to abandon their opposi
tion to the equal franchise in Prus
sia, in accordance with the latest
decision of their friends in the
House of Lords in order to assure a
harmonious front against the out
side world."

Washington, Oct. 16. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Kinkaid,

The telegram is as follows:
"The sugar production of our
three factories in Nebraska will be
materially reduced on account of the
shortage of labor unless the United

some assistance. We will have to
shut down one factory or run all at
a reduced capacity as the situations
of the employment service prohibit
us from recruiting labor.
"The employment service is not
successful in recruiting men for us.
We have requested the state direct
or to secure the appointment of ex
aminers to recruit for us in terri
tory where we know labor can be
secured.
"We have requested Director
General Densmore of employment
service to give tire state director the
necessary authority but get no reply
and no action.
Hidden Influence At Work.

the office of the state director or
employment service of Omaha or in
the office of the director general at.
Washington is obstructing the ex
pansion of the employment service
machinery to recruit men for the
sugar industry in the state and is
causing an enormous waste of sugar
"Won't you please see Director
General Densmore with a view of
getting the Nebraska state director
authorized and also directed to ap
point examiners to secure labor for
these three factories.
"If this cannot be done, won't you
please advise us as to why it can
not be done. The situation here is
critical for the beet crop is perish
able. The sugar being lost each
successive day can never be re-
storea.
