Vistula Army.
PETBOGIIAD, Oct 31.
The Army Slesscnger announced today
that the positions taken by the Germans
on tho heights between tho I'lllza and
ltadomk.a Hirers had been captured by
the Itussians and that tho German forces
wcro once more In full retreat toward
tho soutliwcst with Cossacks attacking
their flnnko. Tho German trencher were
captured by bnjonet charges made In a
blinding snan storm.
The Warsaw correspondent of the
Novoe Vrcmya telegraphs that Crown
l'rlnce Frederick William of Germans
had charge of tho operations nlong tho
Vistula that resulted so disastrously for
tha Germans. The sairo correspondent
recently had the Kaiser directing tho
operations.
"The best troops of Prussia were given
to tho Crown l'rlnce," tho correspondent
sayB. "These occupied tho centre and
were supported by heavy artillery and
Austrian cavalry. The Bavarian forces
on tho left wing were commanded by
General von Hlpdcrburg, while the Aus
trlnns held the right wing,
"The German centre aimed Its attack
at Ivnngorod. but the Prussian suf
fered such a severe repulse that tho
Crown Prince's troops were crumpled up
and retreated. They were compelled to
nhandon 36 heavy guns In the mud.
"The Austrian cavalry was unable to
protect tl.e rotreat, and the Germans felt
back In disorder to Rndom, where the
Crown Prince had Ills headquarters. An
other attack resulted In the retreat of
the Germans from there, and tho town
was occupied by the Russians."
Though tho correspondent ridicules the
fighting qualities of the Germans, ho
praises them for the conduct In the dis
tricts from which the Russians have
driven them. The civilian Inhabitants
suffered no mistreatment, and the Ger
mans paid for ever thing they took.

Turkey's Plunge Into War Means Matcral Aid Against

By J. W. T. MASON
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Tur:toy'a par

resents tho first diplomatic success
scored by Germany- slnco the crisis of
civilization began. Germany's military
victories npparently have been cleverly

to persuade the Young Turks that the
Allien would bo defeated at the end of
the war, leaving Germany and Its friends
masters of the destinies of Europe.
From tho standpoint of Turkish states
manship, the chance Turkey Is tnktng
represents, It is true, a gambler's throw;
but that is the only remaining way for
the Turks to rehabilitate- themselves. If
the Allies win the war the Turkish Em
pire now will be thrust back into Asia
Minor, while if the German armies are
successful Turkey will bo Itself again.
To gain the alliance of the Turks Ger
many has had to persuade Constantinople
that there Is a fnlr chanco for ultimate
German lctory.
Judged exclusively In tho light of Ger
man Interests, tho Ottoman rush Into the
war Is n doublo triumph. It gives half
a million reinforcements to the German
armies, making possible a strong offen

If the Allies should be successful In

Possession of Constantinople possibly may
become tho moit Important question at
the peace conference, permitting German
diplomacy to play on the material sus

ate the raid of the Turkish destroyers
and the former German cruisers, Goobon
and Breslati, attributing the nets to tho
German offlccrB and crews manning them.
But Russia unofficially has declared that
the bombardment Is n casus belli.
Tha complications In Albania, where
Greece haR sent troops to occupy Eplrus,
supposedly Incurring tho displeasure of
Italy, which country feels a special In
terest In that territory, Is believed to alter
somewhat tho alignment which would
havo resulted a month ago from Turkey's
act of war.
The news from Athens that Greece
entered Albania with the consent of the
Trlplo Entente puwles Washington offi
cials. It Has been predicted that Italy
would side with tho Triple Entonte if
Turkey declared war on Russia.
Italy, to remain neutral, must eventu
ally reach somo understanding with the
Trlplo Entcnto concerning the partition
of Albania or the activities of Greece In
that country.
Rumania has Indicated officially that
It will ally Itself with Itnly In whatever
emirso the latter takes. Tho Bulgarian
Government Is understood to bo friendly
to Turkoy and Austria, though recent re
ports havo spoken of tho wavering altl
tudo of the Government at Bucharest, be
cause of popular demonstrations In bo
half of Russia.
Greece, It Is believed, wilt likely bo tho
first State now noutral to throw its weight
against the Ottoman army. Bulgaria
holds a remarkable position. It Is bound
to Russia by racial ties and to Great
Britain by obligations for diplomatic sup
port In the last war. But Its Intel ests
and sentiments are violently hostile to
Turkey and t Greece.
An Invnslon of tho Caucasus on one
side and Egypt on the other Is tho pro
grnm military men think the Turkish
army will endeavor to carry out. Turk
ish forces havo been gathering recently
In Syria and Palestine, but a march
across the Stnal Peninsula will be a hard
one, because the country Is virtually n
desort.
The English paper: nre confident that
tho protection of the Suez CanaT against
n raid and of Egypt against invasion are
well provided for. They recognize that
tho addition of Turkoy to tho belliger
ent forces probably will prolong the war
and Increase Its horrorn. They say this
means that Great Britain must ralso
mora men.
Tho British officials declared that war
between Russia and Turkey did not nec
essarily Involve England. England did
not declare war upon Austria until It
was established that Austrian troops
were fighting In Franco. By tho same
rule, If Turkey invades Russia the Brit
ish Government will declare war agalnBt
Turkoy,
Persons familiar with tho geographical
conditions scout the idea of Turkish In
vasion of Egypt. The Turkish army
could not bo transported by wuter to
Egypt In the face 'if the allied fleets!
and the hot deserts, peopled by hostile
Arabs, would make it almost Impossible
to march an army overland.

The 1915 Hupmobllo puts a how
aspect on all-tho-year uso of a
motor car, according to G. a.
Brownloe, local Hupmobllo repre
sentative "A greater proportion of Hup own
ers always have driven their cars
In winter, as compared with own
ers of others," says Mr. Brownleo.
"TI1I3 winter this proportion will be
Increased.
"With its splondld starting system
nnd equally splendid carburotlon,
tho now Hup will bo equal to the
severest cold.
"Furthormoro, tho detachable Hup
mobllo sedan nnd coupo tops nre
going to change people's minds
about winter driving.
"The new top confers all the ad
vantages of tho permanent closed
car, without tho high extra cost.
"Buyors quickly icallzo that, and we
attribute tho big fall demand
largely to those moderate priced,
detachable tops that mnko the
Hupmobllo a two in ono car."
