BULGARS AND TURKS
FEAR TO
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Oct. 22.—
Shortly following reports of the
"visit of the Kaiser to Turkey where
he directly appealed to the militar
istic chiefs of the Ottoman Empire
comes a very sensational official
admission from diplomatic circles
the importance of which in the pre
sent world crisis cannot be under
estimated.
It is admitted in diplomatic circ
les that Turkey in conjunction with
Bulgaria have thrown out signs of
their willingness to accept separate
peace terms if favorable with the
Entente.
Great Britain, France and Rus
sia have had hints to this effect
submitted to them for terms as a
basis l'or tentative suggestions.
The both nations are admittedly
suspicious that Germany and Aus
tria intend to use them as pawns
in any peace game that can be initi
ated.
The pope's peace proposals rous
a sinister feeling in Bulgaria and
Turkey where they were regarded
as most certainly inspired by
Wilhelms trasse . The apparent in-1
[ diflerence to the welfare of Bulgaria
and Turkey aroused considerable
adverse criticism in both Sofia and
Constantinople.
So serious has the situaticn re
cently developed that the Kaiser
made his visit purposely to over
come this sentiment of suspicion
and he deliberately set himself to
placate both Bulgaria and Turkey.
In Vienna the situation is re
gard eil with extreme concern of
late.
You’ll see it first in the Worker.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 22.—
The Navy Department today an
nounced that the United States de
stroyer Cassin was attacked on the
high seas by a German submarine
fleet and fought a glorious battle
with one German submarine that
maintained its position after the
rest had submerged to the fire of
the American's guns.
The destroyer was struck by a
torpedo while moving to attack the
huge German super submarine and
this injured its engines compelling
it to seek port.
Even while steaming homeward
the destroyer maintained its fire
upon the submarine without how
ever striking the German, the latter
able to maintain a safe distance
owing to the superior speed over
the injured Cassin. The feat of the
Cassin in extricating itself from
an awkward situation is considered
remarkable, especially as the sub
marines made use of both gun fire
and torpedoes to sink the destroyer.
The Cassin reached port in
safety.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.—
The work on the additional de
stroyers is to be rushed with every
cfiort of speed that the naval con
struction yards are capable of de
veloping.
The situation is regarded as de
pending largely upon the work of
this useful type of warship which
has practically ended the diver
menace.
WIDE RUMORS PERSIST
U ROAT RAID COAST
WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 22.—
While there is some difficulty in
discovering whence the reports first
originated, outside dispatches cab
led from London there continue
wide reports that the German naval
authorities plan a series of subma
rine raids on this side of the At
lantic.
While such a report might have
a Teuton origin with a view of de
flecting some destroyers front Euro
pean to American waters, there is
said to be substantial support be

TOKIO, Oct. 22.—The Japanese
steamer Mitachi Marti which was
to have arrived at Delagoa Bay,
Portuguese East Africa, so far has
not been reported from its destina
tion.
Cabled inquiry from this port
to Lorenco Marques, Mozambique,
have received advices that no sign
has been reported of the missing
steamer.
While it is possible that the
steamer may have been the victim
of a raider crossing the Indian
ocean, it is believed that it struck
a mine and sank with ail hands.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—The repo; ts
coming from every port and sec
tion of the world connecting the
British oversea shipping show that
the arrivals are so numerous and
the losses so'sr.-all that the diver
wai fare may be considered to have
collapsed for the present at any
ra'e. This condition is a source o!
general satisfaction. The increast
in British imports is especially
marked.

The list reveals the fact that the

GERMANS BEGIN TO
TROOPS V
PETROGRAD, Oct. 22.—The
Germans began landing troops on
the Vcrder Peninsula, in western
Esthonia, close to the Russian sea
port ot' Vcrder. These are to co
operate with the German naval
forces which are trying to negotiate
•an entrance into the Gulf of Fin
land. The German naval forces
are now operating at the entrance
ot the Gulf of Riga and have some
trouble clearing land batteries
which are causing them severe
losses.
There is no railroad connecting
Verdcr with interior points and
some wonder is expressed that the
Germans did not attempt a landing
at Hapsal where the railroad to
Rcval would have been of assist
ance to them in their activities.
The weather is getting very cold
in this section.
The Russian Baltic fleet which
Berlin headquarters claimed to have
securely bottled in the Gulf of Riga
escaped to the Gulf of Finland de
' spite the enormous superiority of
the German naval units and with
out the loss of a man or a shi[>.
The Russian Admiral completely
tarried out his design of destroying
the Russian naval base in the Riga
gulf as so ordered by Petrograd, be
fore making his way to the Gulf of
Finland.
This brilliant feat will of neces
sity have an important effort iu
strengthening the defenses of the
Gulf of Finland.

GEORGE TELLS GIVER
WARFARE FAILING
LONDON, Oct. 22.—Today Dr?
mier George spoke at a great mass
meeting wherein he reviewed tho
conditions during the war at the
present time.
His review was very optimistic
especially in dealing with the diver
operations of the Teuton nations.
Today, he said the shipping losses
of Great Britain were just one
third of what they were lait April.
This was satisfactory hut much
more satisfactory was the fact that
the submarine losses are at the pre
sent time what they had been to
Germany in April. Lloyd George
said that the fear ol German bailors
to engage in diver rervi'-e was
founded upon the established fact
th: t such a small per rentage t.f the
U boat return tc their bases.
Some arc held by Great Britain
others by France and still more are
be -oath the waters with their crews
for all time.

LONDON, Oct. 22.—Lloyd George
in his London address today inti
mated that he would give an ex
tended review of the war situation
in the Commons at an early date.
The international peace situation
is assuming some importance owing
to the visit of the Kaiser to Turkey
and Bulgaria.

AUSTRIA HAS HUGE
MUNITION EXPLOSION
ROME, Oct. 22.—Private ad
vices coming from Austria via
Switzerland tell of a most awful
munition factory explosion at
Strafeld, Austria when the largest
powder magazine in the world ex
ploded.
Four thousand persons were
killed and ten thousand were in
jured. the majority of the latter
suffering what is believed to he
fatal injury.
After this explosion the women
workers had to be coerced to return
to their places to operate the ma
chines and armed guards were ne
cessary, to keep them there.
The report of this wholesale holo
caust of human life has caused
many to endeavor to desert other
munition factories and summary
action was required to keep them
at their posts.
Further dispatches report that
the food supply is wholly inade
quate. The Austrian people are
complaining that they are being
starved to feed Germany and upris
ings have taken place because of
LOCAL ITEMS.
In the oleomarg .rife indictment
cf William J. Moxley while the fed
oral investigation was pending, it
is noted from an exchange front tin
Windy Cily that Albert Fink, the
former Nome attorney was repre
senting the Central Trust Co. in
the hearing in Chancery. He
brought out the fact that while the.
investigation was pending the as
sistant U. S. Attorney got a thou
sand dollar check. “How did the
bank get it” asked Attorney Fink
From Mr. Moxley.
In what circumstances?
Benjamin D: vis (Assistant U. S
