Apology for Raids in Black

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

wing there have been some engage
ments favorable to our arms along the

vote in the early hours of the election
to-day throughout Pennsylvania. The
weather was fine everywhere.
The fact that many voters took a
long time to mark their ballots gave
rise to reports that much cutting was
being done, but the slowness of the

large number of candidates to be voted
for.
Voting continued heavy during the
