GREAT BRITAIN OPENS WAR ON TURKEY RY DESTROYING BARRACKS AT AKABAH British Warship Begins Hos tilities on the Turko-Egyptian Frontier— Turkish Ambassa dor Leaves the Russian Capital Grand Vizier's Apology for Raids in Black Sea Said to be Too Late to Avoid Sultan's Domain Be ing Drawn Into the European Conflict —Germans Reported to Have Abandoned Left Bank of the Yser Bi/ Associated Press, London, Nov. 3, 1.10 P. M.—Great Britain and Turkey are at war. Germany has recruited an ally in the East. After 24 hours of uncertainty, during which hope was ex pressed that the Porte might make amends for the inci dents in the Black Sea, the British Admiralty announced shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon that a British war ship had bombarded and had destroyed the Turkish bar racks at Akabah, on the Turco-Egyptian frontier. It was at Akabah that Turkish cavalry patrols were reported yesterday preparatory to moving into Egypt. There the British found soldiers apparently under Ger mans serving as quasi Turks much in the same manner as the German officers remain in charge of the cruisers Bres lau and Goeben, and, British officials say, there was no course but to open hostilities. London, Nov. 3, 6.38 A. M.—A dispatch from Tiflis, capital of the Russian government of the same name in transcaucasia to Reuters Company says: "It is announced that the Emperor has ordered the Caucasian army to cross the frontier and attack the Turks." Petrograd, Nov. 3.—The Turkish Ambassador, Fahred din Bey, has left the Russian capital. He is leaving for home via Finland. London, Nov. 3, 8 A. M.—A dispatch to the "Daily Mail" from Cairo, Egypt, says: "The Turkish troops are reported near the border which they have not crossed. The British are fully pre pared to repulse an invasion, thanks to the measures taken by the government. "The public in Egypt are calm and not even aware of a Turko-Russian eruption. A press censorship will be established to-morrow." TURKEY'S APOLOGY TOO LATE London, Nov. 3,10.55 A. M.—Russia has replied to Tur key's apology for the raids on her navy in the Black Sea with the fateful words "too late" and in London it is thought hardly likely that diplomatic pressure will pre vent the war party among the Young Turks from dragging their country into the European embroglio. The events of the past twelve hours show that the Grand Vizier of Turkey has made every effort to concili ate the entente powers, but the influence of his partisans in the Turkish cabinet is not believed to be great enough to force the Porte to meet the demands for reparation formulated in the Franco-British notes. So far as Russia is concerned a state of war with Turkey actually exists, and the reply of the Russian foreign minister to the ex planation of the Grand Vizier does not hold out, in the opinion of London, any hope for a peaceful outcome of the dispute. The apology of the Turk for the assaults of his fleet on Russian ports on the Black Sea has not accomplished its purpose. Both Russia and Great Britain have undertaken active military measures against him and hostilities have begun ou the Red Sea. In France the troops of Emperor William, frustrated in their persistent. endeavors to ad vance along the coast, are now seeking a route more to the south and the lighting in Flanders is going on with determination on the part of the allies and heavy on slaughts from the enemy. A group of incidents shows that Turkey's efforts to hold aloof from the general warfare came too late. Con stantinople reports officially that Russian troops have at tacked her frontier in the Caucasius at several points, but were driven back. A British cruiser has shelled and oc cupied the Turkish fortified town of Akabah, on the Red Sea, in Arabia; it is announced in a news dispatch that Em peror Nicholas has ordered his Caucasian army to cross the frontier and attack the Turks; the Turkish' Ambass ador has left the Russian capital; the Russian Foreign Min ister has replied to the Porte that negotiations are now impossible and an imperial manifesto issued in Petrograd says Russian confidence is firm that intervention of Tur key will only hasten the fatal issue to that empire and that Condoned on .\lnlh l'n«r, CHije Star- Snftepeitfretti HARRISBURO, PA., TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1914—10 PAGES.
