Belgians have opened the dykes in
the lower Yscr Valley and flooded the
Germans out, Paris reports today.
Counter wedges have heen started
by the Allies against the German
lines above Yprcs and La Bassee in
an effort to relieve the Kaiser's pres

have attacked vainly three times in
an effort to check these moves, it is
announced.
'British forces, who were in danger
from a southward German drive near
Annciitieres, on the Belgian border,

The Kaiser's forces continue to push
westward toward the French sea

Turkey's entrance into the war,
through operations against Russia in
the Black Sea, today overshadowed
the campaign in France and in the
East. Bombardment of the Crimea
town of Theotlosia and the sinking
of two Russian ships by the former
German cruiser Goebcn was Turkey's
practical declaration of hostilities.
The move was hailed with delight in
I'ctrograd, the Russians longing for
a chance to crush their hated foes to
the south.
A Russian gunboat was sunk in
Odessa harbor by two Turkish tor
pedoboat destroyers and a French
steamship was damaged. Odessa was
bombarded and American property
damaged, according to a dispatch to
Washington.
The Crar at once ordered the
Black Sea fleet to search out and de

already are mobilized in readiness for
the campaign which has been ex

Daring German Raider Has
Two Days' Start of Pur
suers Russia Confirms
Sinking of Jemtchug.
TOICIO, Oct. 3D.
Two Japanese cruisers set out from
Penang today In pursuit of the ierman
cruiser Emden, which sank the Russian
cruiser Jemtchug and a French destroyer
In the harbor there. The Emden bus
more than tno days' start, however, and
it is improbable that thej will be able
to oertake her.
It Is learned that the Jemtchug was
anchored In the harbor awaiting repairs
to her machinery when the Emden tor
pedoed her nnd was unable to put up
any fight. The French boat entered the
channel as the Emden was departing nnd
was sunk within a few minutes. The
official report, received by the Japanese
Admiralty falls to confirm the first dis
patch, stating that the Emden was flying
a Japanese flag when she entered the
Penang harbor.
T'lVrnOGUAD, Oct. SO.
The rtusbiati Admiralty announced to
day that the rrtilser lenitehug was sunk
by the German cruiser Emden nt 5 a. in.
on October IS In the harbor of Penang.
Eighty-llvo of the crew perished and out
of HO rescued 112 were wounded.
The Admiralty stated that because the
Hmden was disguised with a fourth fun
nel the patrol boats In tho harbor nils
took her for a vessel belonging to the
AllleV fleet. .
"The Emden approached the Jemtchug
at full speed." the statement adds, "and

BRUMBAUGH PUTS
PENROSE TO SHAME
IN RINGING SPEECH
Announces Great Construct
ive Program, While Sena
tor Seeks Reflected Glory
From Dead Statesmen's
Deeds.
What a Man From
Missouri Saw at Rally
The New Republicanism vs. the Old.
Biumbaiigh vs. Penrose.
Brumbaugh made a strong speech,
revealing a constructive mind and defi
nite purpose behind It.
Ho severely held aloof from mention
ing the name of Penrose.
To strengthen himself In the eyes
of the audience, Penrose pushed him
self Into the company of the great
and Juggled freely with the names of
Hamilton, Henry Clay, McKlnley and
Garfield.
Penrose's dignity suffered somewhat
when, upon the entrance of Doctor
Brumbaugh, William T. Tllden. chair
man of the meeting, pulled his Sena
trial toga as a signal to quit and let
the head of the ticket speak.
The Mlssourian wondered how Pen
rose felt when in a powerful and ring
ing voice Doctor Brumbaugh pro
claimed: "I have no time for oppor
tunists or a boss I despise both."
Adjutant General Stewart was the
alliterative speaker of the evening.
In referring to the result of Demo
cratic legislation, he expressed It In
one striking phrase "the pinching pang
of poverty."
Outbursts of applause greeted tho
mention of Plnchot's name, although
Frank B. McClain referred to him as
a man who wears a "notice-me-or-I'll-die-expression."
Penrose pleaded for an "okl-fash-loned
Republican victory." The feel
ing in the gallery was for a "new.
fashtoned Republican victory" Brum
baugh minus Penrose.
There was humor, there was tragedy,
there was eloquence and calamity howllnir
at the great Bepublican rally In the Acad.
emy of Music last night. But towrin
above all was Doctor Brumbaugh,
Doctor Brumbaugh alone represented
the new Republicanism. In a clarion call
he proclaimed his clear, definite, straight
forward, constructive program.
The great crowd that tilled the old
auditorium from floor to dome swayed
back and forth under the pressure of
Penrose sophistry and the exhilarating
relief of Brumbaugh constructivism, it
was. as one spectator said, as If the
great crowd was struggling to free Itself
from a heavy burden on one side In order
that it might fly into the arms of salva
tion on the other." A sigh of relief spread
throughout the hous when Doctor Brum
baugh appeared upon the platform and
Penrose, his coattalls tugged by William
T- Tilden, was obliged to terminate his

za's troops have cut railroad communi
cations south of this city and that large
bodies of troops are on the way north
from Mexico City.
It Is known that General Carranza has
at least 10,000 men at Leon, !S miles south
of this city, and that a largo force of
Carramtstaa Is entrenched to the east
of here.
It was charged in the national peace
convention that the Carranza mobiliza
tion to the south of Aguascallentes and
to the east, was for the purpose of de
scending upon thr city suddenly and In
force and arresting the peace convention
delegates and Generals who are known to
be hostile to the present Government In
Mexico City.
The charge that such an action was
contemplated was vigorously denied by
representatives of Carranza.
Representatives of General Villa have
received word of a fight at Snn Gil. 22
miles to the east, on Wednesday. San
Gil Is on tha rallwny connecting Aguas

It is officially announced here to
day that two Turkish torpedoboat de
stroyers entered the port of Odessa,
on the Black Sea, yesterday, and sank
a ius5jh gunooat. iney also in
flicted damage on the French steam
ship Portugal.
These operations, with the bom
bardment of Odessa and Theodosia,
arc the opening guns in Turkey's war
against Russia and in behalf of the
Kaiser.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. Odessa
was bombarded last night and Amer
ican property was destroyed, accord
ing to a State Department dispatch
from the Petrograd Charge today.
This information was based on d
report from the American Consul af,
Odessa. The amount of property de
stroyed was not stated. It was as
sumed in official circles here that the
bombardment was done by the Turks.
The message announcing the bom-
bardment was dated at lietrograd at
7 o'clock last night, and indicated that
the bombardment had occurred Wed
nesday night. There was nothing
about the message, however, to show
whether any notice of bombardment
had been given in advance.
Because of the destruction o
American property this Government
today made inquiry concerning tho
subject of previous notice. In case
of movable goods damages might b
recovered, provided no notice had
been given. Recovery of damages,
however, in any event is admittedly a
difficult proposition. That the sitUM
tion, as far as this Government ttl
concerned, would not go farther than
to seek monetary reparation was th
belief here.
