Because of continued stories of massacres and threatened massacres In Turkey, President Taft today ordered the armored cruisers Tennessee and Montana to proceed at once to Turkish waters. These ships are sent with the view of .curbing apprehension among missionaries, many of whom are in Turkey. The confident tone of American messages from Turkey has changed withlln the last 48 hours to one of apprehension. The cruisers are ordered to guard Beirut and Smyrna particularly. Ambassador RockhiU at Constantinople was instructed to confer with his European colleagues whose governments are Immediately interested and who are understood to be preparing to take what ever measures are necessary . The Montana and Tennessee are ipow at Philadelphia. PLUNDER AND MURDER. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 8. Flee ring Turkish soldiers are reported to have massacred all the inhabitants and burned the village of Silivri, on the coast of the sea of Marmora.

Although the Greek army under Crown Prince Constantino are in the control at Salonika, dispatches received today indicated that the Greek soldiers had not yet entered the city but were still held in the suburbs. Two reasons are given for this. The chief reason was that smallpox is raging in the city and Prince Constantine refused to expose his troops to the disease. Another was that the Greeks were awaiting the arrival of King Peter's Servian army before making a .triumphal entry. Torpedo boat No. 11 which sunk the j Turkish cruiser Feth-Ul-Bulend in the gulf of Calonlka with the loss of 200 lives has arrived here and is being overhauled. Lieut. Votsis commander of the .Greek ship is the hero of the hour. TURKS LACK NURSES. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 8. Cholera has broken out among the wounded Turkish soldiers brought here from the front. This has greatly Increased the peril of the city for there is a lack of medical supplies, nurses and doctors. The government may be compelled to resort to conscription to secure enough nurses to attend to the wounded. There are over 35,0.00 wounded Turkish soldiers here "and hundreds of others are arriving daily. All the wounded In the fighting around Chatalja fort are being brought into the city as rapidly as the traffic facilities admit. TURKEY TO CONTINUE WAR. CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 8. Turjoey will continue the war. This decision was reached by the ministerial council today after a long meeting at which the future'operations were thoroughly canvassed. "We shall continue the war until .our forces are annihilated," was the (tatement made after the meeting. A majority of the council was in favor of continuing hostilities. Turkeys thus rejects the mandate of fthe powers that she must seek peace gUrectly from the Balkan allies.

CANVASSING BOARD HAD HANDS FULL Complicated Ticket Caused Much Extra Work in Tabulating Returns. County Clerk George Matthews this morning sent the last of the election reports from this county to the secretary of state. Clerk Matthews and others on the election canvassing board declare that the recent election was more complicated than for a number of years. In previous years the Democratic party did not always have a full county ticket, and the Socialist and Prohibition vote was much smaller than this year. Considerable scratching was also done and as a result the election canvassing board was obliged to be in session continuously for twenty-four hours, starting at 6 o'clock, Tuesday evening and ' "working until 6 o'clock Wednesday evening. Two adding machines were used from 11 o'clock Wednesday morning continuously until 5:40 o'clock Wednesday evening. The canvassing board was composed of Clerk Matthews, chairman; Everett Lemon and Ben Price, with Martin Bowermaster, Albert Feeger, Gus Sudhoff and Omer Whelan. Deputy Sheriff Mote and John Markley, baliff of the Wayne circuit court, were also on duty with the canvassing board. The clerk is obliged by law to take the reports on the election to the postmaster in person and to secure a receipt from the postmaster, in order that the clerk will not be held responsible in case the records are lost or misplaced in the mails. ROB ALABAMA TRAIN But Not Much of Value Obtained. Is (National News Association) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 8. A southbound Louisville and Nashville train was held up and the mail car robbed by two masked robbers at Blount Springs, Ala., early today. After rifling the pouches and securing a gold watch from mail clerk Hoover, and about $5 in cash from mail clerk Chamberlain the robbers left the train six miles north of Birmingham. It is not known how much they secured. They ripped open a registered pouch and scattered packages over the car which contained several thousand dollars worth of railroad stock coupons and seemed disgusted at not finding more cash. Before leaving the train they tied the clerks to the table in the car. A report that they had secured $40,000 could not be confirmed and was very much doubted by post office inspector Brannon to whom a report of the holdup was made. HORTON'S STATEMENT OF EXPENSES Howard Horton, defeated candidate for surveyor on the Republican county ticket, is the first candidate in this county to file his statement of election expenses with the county clerk. This is obligatory according to Sec tion 8 of the corrupt practices act passed by the 1911 General Assembly.

TEDDY WAS GIVEN THE POPULAR VOTE Combined Vote of Roosevelt and Taft Far Exceeds that Given Wilson. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Nov. 8 Returns made public at Progressive headquarters today show that Col. Roosevelt was an overwhelming victory over President Taft in the popular vote. When the final returns are in it is expected that the former president will lead by more than 1,000,000. The combined popular vote for Roosevelt and Taft far exceeds that for Wilson, and Progressive leaders declared that if Roosevelt had not been deprived of the nominaUon he would have swept the country except in the solid South. They declared that the Wilson vote was not up to expectations and tha( Roosevelt drew votes from him. The states that gave Wilson their electoral votes, but where the combined vote for. Taft and Roosevelt exceeded the vote for Wilson, follow: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The electoral vote of these states totaled 225, which, had they gone to Roosevelt would have given a clear majority in the electoral college. At the Chicago convention Taft received 501 out of 1,162, comprising the election makeup. Of the number six were absent and 420 refused to vote. If the national convention had been constituted according to the vote of the two men, state by state, on Tuesday, Roosevelt would have been the choice of the Republican national convention by the following vote: Roosevelt, 714, Taft 334. This does not include the vote of the territories.
