Mayor Roe received this morning
from the Mayor of Iditarod a tele

ner, with George Sexton, secretary*

ner speeches w ill be* delivered and

the prevalence of foot and mouth
disease in northern Indiana and south

SEWARD HAD LAST SPEECH
OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
Charles E. Bunnell Talks to a Large
Crowd Here on Eve of Election.
A great crowd listened last night
to the speech of Charles E. Bunnell
who went out of his way to come here
to address the people of Seward at
the last moment In the speech he
dwelt in a clever manner with the
great issues at stake and it is safe to
say that he made friends. He left this
morning on the Alameda and Captain
Warner will put that steamer to its
best to get the candidate to his home
in Valdex in time to cast his vote. It
is too late now to help Bunnell one
way or the other but he seems to be
a likeable fellow and a good clean one.
That goes whatever the result of the
election might be.
ELECTION RETVRNS
The election returns will be shown
tonight at the Casino beginning at
7:30 o’clock.
BRITON VS. Tl*RK
LONDON, Nov. 3.—It was officially announced this
1 afternoon that Great Britain and Turkey are in a state of
war. The British already homliarded and destroyed the
Turkish barracks at Akalianahon on the Tc^ Titian-Turk
ish border. The Turkish soldiers retreated and the Brit
ish are now in full pursuit- It has been learned that the
Turks are under the command of German officers and it is
known that the Goeben and Breslau are commanded by
German officers who remained with those- ships through
i out- The British started hostilities against the Turks im
mediatlv on the declaration of hostilities.
%
_
FRENCH ARE CONFIDENT
PARIS, Nov. 3.—The feeling in this city this after
noon is one of increasing confidence that the Germans
have failed in their latest attempt to reach the channel
ports. The attack has been shifted from the north coast to
j Ypres where the British hold the line and will be compeli
; ed to bear the brunt of the fighting. That region lias been
! the scene already of the most \iolent attacks and both
sides have lost heavily. It is estimated that nearly two
: hundred thousand British troops are engaged in the hat
! tie. The reason for the shifting of the Germans to that
place is not quite evident but that they have some other*
scheme in view becomes more and more apparent.
GERMANS TRY NEW MOVE
LONDON, Nov. 3.—The Germans last Saturday
made supreme efforts to capture Ypres. Men without
number were sacrificed to rush the town hut the efforts
have apparently failed so far as can be learned here. That
the attempts were failures seems to be evident today from!
the fact that the Germans are reported to he concentrat
ing their efforts well to the south. Large Gernian forces
have left Bruges for Oourtrai where the British hold the
line. This is taken as an indication that the Germans have;
selected a new way by which they hope to reach Calais
but that they have a hard road to travel is very clear.
TURKS THREATEN EGYPT
PARIS, Nov. 3.—The Turkish troops are reported to j
be near the Egyptian border but it is announced that they
have not yet crossed. The news of the crossing is :* ire
awaited with the most intense interest as the British
troops in that country have ben taken away in large num
bers and it is feared that the Egyptian themselves will;
rise in favor of Turkey and attempt to throw off the Brit
ish yoke. It is also supposed here that the Mohammedans
of Algiers and Tunis will rise against the French hut
particular care is being taken to meet them with strong
French forces.
APOLOGY TOO LATE
LONDON, Nov. 3.—Russia has replied to the
Turkish apology by the simple words"too late.' The apol
ogy7 was made for the raid by Turkish ships in the Black
sea but whether it was sincere or not can hardly be found
out. Russia and Turkey are now actually in a state of war j
and it is hardly likely that the Ottoman empire can keep
out of the conflict as an ally of Germany and Austria
against all the other nations . The blame for Turkey's
entry’ into the war is being laid at the door of the Young
Turks party which is said to have been busy from the be
ginning in the effort to start hostilities. The press ano
people of this country’ openly accuse Germany of foneing
the Turks into the fight almost in spite of themseieves.
The chief consideration in relation to Turkey's act has to j
do with the effect which it will have on the nation wht
look to the Sultan of Turkey as the head of their national
religion.
BRITISH ATTACK ARABIA ' j
LONDON, Nov. 3.—The Turkish town of Akahash in ;
1 Arabia has been shelled and captured by the British
troops. The British cruiser Minerva aided in shelling the
place and the loss to the Turks is believed to be consider
able. One of the men killed on the Turkish side is said to
have been a German officer. The fight is the first in what
many believe will be a blood}' religious war.

HAVRE Nov. JL—The Belgian staff has given out an
official statement to the effect that the Germans have fal
len hack towards the easi: abandoning their dead and
wounded. Our troops are holding the positions occupied
yesterday. The advance forces of the allies who marched
to the Yser have found indications of the precipitate re
treat by the enemy on ail liands.
SANK Tl Rk SHIPS
CONSTANTINOPLE Xow 1—A member of the
Turkish cabinet states that the British have sunk two
Turkish vessels at Smyrnit The Russians have crossed
the Turkish frontier at E raerua and are now marching
on some of the Turkish positions in force so that a very
important engagement may tv looked for within a few
days. The latest news from the Eastern theater of war
is that the Turks are prepared to send at least half a
million men to the front
ALLIES MARK BIG ADVANCE
PARIS. Nov. 3.—The official announcement this
morning is most satisfactory. On our left wing the Ger
mans have completely abandoned the left bank of the ^ ser
although they had won it with frightful slaughter. Down
stream from Dixmude a teconnaisance has been made
by the allies along the highways in the submerged region
and later the points of passage across the river were oc
cupied by them without any trouble. South of Dixmude
and in the direction of Gin fault the advance of the allies
has been particularly perceptible and that the enemy has
been severely repulsed is certain. The falling hack of the
Germans is indeed 10 complete that the advance may be
regarded as an important vict«*ry.
CROWN PRINCE BADLY WOUNDED
GENEVA. Nov. 3.—Travellers arriving in this coun
try confirm the story that the crown prince of Germany
has been eery badly woumied. It was thought at first
that he had been fa tall v hurt hut this is supposed now not
t* he true. He received his ’rounds in France but has iHvn
taken to the palace at Stnisshurg and placed under the
care of the greatest specialists from Rerlin.The fact that
he was wounded was carefully hidden.
