DOOM FOR EMPIRE,

'Suicidal' Says Press, as
Ottoman Rule Will Be
Eliminated From Europe.
"Holy War" Feared.
LONDON. Oct. SO
Turkey hns cast the die for war. News
that The Porte had opened hostilities
against Bussla was taken hero today to
mean thnt It was rendy to nttnrk Eng
land and France ns well. Preparations
nre being mnde for the departure of the
Allies' representatives from Constanti
nople, though England has given the
Porte otic more chance to avoid partici
pation In the great conflict.
The press hero forecasts the war will
end Turkey's career In Europe, the Tlmea
declare.
Acting on orders from tho British For
eign Office. Sir Louis Mallet, the British
Ambassador at Constantinople, has
warned the Grand Vizier of Turkey thnt
If tho Turks cross the Egyptian frontier
such notion would precipitate n conflict
with all the powers of the Triple Entente.
That Turkey would tnlte part In the
war has not been doubted since the refusal
to lepntrlale the crews of the German
cruisers Oocben and Brcslnu, but the
extent to which the Porto would wage
hostilities was unknown unltl the Breslau
and Hnmndlch opened flro on the Russian
const cities nnd the Goebcn attacked
Russian shipping.
The result of Turkey's action will be
far-reaching. If Germany nnd Austria.
Its new nlllei. nre successful, the Porte
will rognln European territory lost In the
Balkan war. If they nre defeated, Tur
key will be driven from Europe.

"The situation In tho Near East has de
veloped logically. For sumo weeks past
ine iniiutwes controlling tho Ottoman
Governmert have been working to pro
oke the Allies into declaring war on the
Turkish Government. These effort" have
been In vain, ns the Allied Powers were
determined not to become the aggressors."
The Times then enumerates the provo
cative measures tnken by the Turkish
Go eminent to anger England, Frnnce
and Russia. It says:
"Thev (the Allied Powers) met acts of
provocation like the Incorporation of the
German cruisers Breslau and Goebcn Into
the Turkish navy nnd the abolition of
the capitulations, only with protests.
Then a sort 'if ultimatum was addressed
tn England regaidlng the watch kept

The Times expresses tho opinion that
the Sultan nnd som of his advisers were
In favor of ncutmlltj. but thnt they were
overborne by tho aggressive Young Turks
upon tho Committee of Pnlon and Prog
ress. It was the Commltteo of I'nlon
and Progress which overthrew the old
regime and gave Turkey a constitution
when Abdul Hnmld was compelled to ab
dicate. It was this committee which wel
comed the war with the Balkan States.
Now, it is anxious to get revenge for
the help that Russia gave Servla and
Bulgaria, and to get back some of the
territor it has lost, if possible. In ad
dition to all this, the Young Turks are
under obligation;! to the German Govern
ment, which supplies them with arma
ments nnd army officers to reorganize the
Turkish land fmres."
As to the warlike preparations of Tur
key, the Times continues as follows:
"Great numbers of Turkish troops are
s.ald to be massed along the Russian
frontier, where the problem of feeding
them must be arduous To the south
Ottoman forces are believed to be held
In Echelon through southern Syria and
Palestine, with forces actually upon the
Egyptian frontier at Raf upon the Medi
terranean and Akaba upon the Red Sea."
Tho Allies will not be caught napping.

"All preparations time been made by

The order went to
Library Bureau
A wholesale house, whose rating is AA, made
a change recently in the method of marketing
its product.
Very soon thereafter it became evident that
its system of accounting was hopelessly out
of date. A new system had to be devised
speedy, accurate and yet "mechanical."
Every system you can think of was in
vestigated book ledger, loose-leaf ledger
and card ledger.
The "net of it" was that the order went to
Library Bureau not because its price was
lowest, but because the L. B. card ledger
was proven, BY TEST, to be the best
speediest, absolutely accurate and yet en
tirely "mechanical."
Moral ? There isn't any.
