ÜRKS RUSH MEN TO

BUTTLE IN EGYPT England Is Ready for Mussulman Invasion. ITALIAN CABINET IS OUT Italy and Greece Are Expected to Enter War Next Mohammedans May Declare a "Holy War' on the Christians. London, Oct. 31. Turkey has fol- , lowed its initial hostile acts in bom- ; barding two Russian cities by attack ing Russian and French ships without loss of time. Following is a summery Of events which have succeeded each other rapidly as a result of the decision of the porte to enter the war: Turkish gunboats raided the port of Odessa, bombarded the suburbs of the town, sank the Russian gunboat Donets, killing all her crew, and damaged the Russian steamers Lazareff, Witiaz and Whampca and the French liner Portugal. Cruiser Goebcn torpedoed and sank the Russian steamers Yalta and Kazbek in the Black sea, drowning To passengers and crew. The Russian ambassador at Constantinople has been withdrawn. The british envoy. Ambassador Mallet, has informed the grand vizier on behalf of his govern ment that if the Turkn cross the frontier of Egypt it will mean war with the powers Russian troops have been mobilized on the Turkish frontier. Turkey is mobilizing cavalry divisions on the Red sea. Turks Blame Russia. It was Russian naval aggression that brought Turkey into the sar, according to what purports to be an official rtatement from the subVime pOlle in Constantinople. According to this statement, Russian torpedo boats, guarding the exit from the Rosporus into the Black ICS, attempted to prevent the Turkish Heel from leaving the Bosporus and entering the Black sea, and a naval engagement followed In which two Russian war vessels were sunk. England Will Suffer. While Russia thus far has been made to suffer alone from the aggression of Turkey, it appears likely from all indications that It will be England atid not Russia upon whose shoulders will rest the responsibility for resisting the continued attacks of the new allies of Ci er many, strong Turkish cavalry divisions were reported to have arrived In the neighborhood of Ahabah on the Red sea, ahout two hundred miles south of the Sue cnn:tl. threatening the British in Egypt. This hostile ectlvlty Is proceeding In spite of the bote delivered to the p..:e at Constantinople by the British ambassador. (Jreece is also likely to enter the it at once. She will, of course, oppose her ancient enemy, the Turks. The menaee of Turkey's action lies In the possibility Of a "holy war" by Mohammedan against Christians.

Royalton, 111.. Oct 29. The death toll of the explosion that wrecked the mine of the Franklin Coal and Coke company near here is estimated at 50. Rescue workers have brcught the number of recovered bodies to 47 and report three other bodies visible, but not accessible. Mine officials say 2S4 miners, seven of them Injured, es caped immediately following tho blast and these, together with the dead and missing, account for the VM men that entered the shaft just before the explosion. Only 11 of the dead have been identified and most of the other bodies are mangled fo badly that identification will bo impossible. In an effort to relieve the hysteria which has been general 'among the women and children of the missing, the coroner today barred all relatives of the dead from the two temporary morgues. A coroner's Inquest w?s begun. The state mine inspector's investigation into tho causes and responsibility for the disaster will not begin until the last body has been removed from the mine. This statement was made by Oscar Cartledge. state superintendent of the bureau of mines. v The decrease in ihe number of dead was accounted for by the registration of scores of miners who had been rescued during the day, but who were too busy later themselves assisting in the rescue work to answer to the roll call.
