OUTSTANDING FEATURES Ol
ENTRANCE OF T?RKEI
AND THE RETIREME!
AS FIRST SEA Li
ADM11
(By Associated Press.)
The outstanding features of the
great war are the entrance of Turkey
Into the struggle, as reported from
Petrograd and Tokio and Prince Louis
of Battorjberg's retirement as first
sea lord of the British admirallty.
Ever since the war began the atti
tude of Turkey has been the subject
of doubt. It has been reported a num
ber of times that Turkey was ready to
join forces with Germany and it was,
even said that Germany had supplied
the Ottoman government with large I
sums of money. Great Britain warned!
Turkey to keep off and recent advic
es from Constantinople indicated that
Turkey Intended to maintain her neu
trality.
Now comes word that a Turkish
cruiser has bombarded the Russian
seaport of Theodosia in Crimea, and
that another Turkish cruiser has
threatened the seaport of Novorossyok
on the Black Sea.
Onder stress of pursuit by British
warships, tho German crnin!?"? n~?K^?>
ana Breslau early in the war took
refuge at Constantinople. There they
were, purchased by .Turkey hut the
German officers and crews were re
tained. Lp.fr they Rallied fqrib. and &
warning was Issued by Russia that
should the Russian warships meet
these two cruisers they would open
Dre. The fvrmer German warships
have proved a cause ot irritation
throughout the last few weeks to the
Allies and Great Britain asked the
G lt oman government to remove the
Germans from the vessels but Turkey,
replied tho*, it was a domestic ques
tion. . . . *>**m
.Meanwhile Tu.key has ..-.en under
surveillance hy the Allies. .Her action
in the present attack on Russian sea
ports has not been explained but it
IS OOSiiitil* har ltij<if?M'-?n intn tho wa*
may bring to arms some of the Balkan
states which up to the present have
remained quiescent.
The retirement of Prince Louis of
Battenberg from the British admiral
lty will be learned with no surprise,
for the British admiral, who held the
post oe first sea lord, has been the
subject of a newspaper campaign be
cause of his Austrian birth and his
German connections. In his letter of
resignation Prince Louis says be bas
been driven, to the painful conclusion
that his birth and parentage has im
paired his uaefuiness on the board of
the admirallty .and that he withdrew,
hoping to facil?tate the task of admin
istration, to which he has devoted bis

Along the battle fronts, both in Bel- ?
glum and the north of France and in '
tba eastern arena, the same story la
being told of indeterminate actions.

(By Associated Press.)

bean mach gossip because of his Aus
trian origin, baa resigned his position
as first sea lord ot the admirallty.

NT OF PRINCE LOUIS
3RD OF BRITISH
KALTY
The BritiBh admi/ality continue to
call attention to the effective service
rendered by the warships off the North
Sea coast; the French tell of German
repulses and French progress; the
Gormans, speaking of the battles in
France and Belgium, declare their
progress is entirely satisfactory.
The Russian hosts, according- to ad
vices, are pushing the Germans and
Austrians back.. This to a certain ex
tent has admitted, but the Austrians
aver they are holding their own.
The report that Greece has taken
possession of southern Albania is
c?liBing a profound impression in
Rome but tn Italian political circles it
is believed that Greece will not be
supported by Great Britain and
France.
LONDON, Oct 29.-The battle of
ca-* Yeer and the series of fights
atong the whole front in Belgium and
France appear, with the troops now
exhausted, to haye degenerated luto
numerous isolated attacks and coun
ter attacks in which gains and losses j
are about equally divided.
On that part of the battle' Trout
nearest the sea, ^ 4?re tba G*nsas?
hare delivered repeated attacks with
daily increasing forces In their effort
to hammer their way to Dunkirk and
I eventually to Calais, and where the
Allies have offered such stubborn
resistance, there has been another
day of comparative calm. Although
the Germans in their morning bulletin
claim progress south of Nieuport, the
French this afternoon say t?tere is no
change.
The Germana ?mm to hsve trsins
fes red their'more serious operations
further inland and to be trying to
I oreak through the allied Hues from
Lille. If successful this would com
pel tho Allies, who are holding the
front through Ypres to the coast, te
fall back toward Dunkirk.
However, nothing of great moment
I ls likely until troops hr.vt been givfen
?some rest and reinforcements arrive
?to fill up great gaps made in both ar
mies as a result of continuous artil
lery and infantry attacks.
There bas been sharp fighting,
while each side is endeavoring to
?hold positions it at present occupies,
and to secure better positions which
would give an advantage v/hen the
next big battle breaks. Both claim to
have been successfdl in this, and the
official reports are full of sentences
such as:
I "The enemy's attacks have been re
pulsed.'' or "We have made progress."

After ss Hoar's Play.
Special to The Intelligencer .
COLUMBIA, S. C.. Oct 2?.-Clemson
proved too strong for Carolina in the
annual foot ball classic of the year
held at the fair g.ounds Thursday
morning and the Game-cock aggrega
tion went down to a 29 to 6 defeat af
ter 60 minutes of play marred by the
slow tactics of tho Carolina men.
Major of Clemson gave a wonderful
exhibition drop kicking and managed
to send the pig skin through .the up
rights three times out of three tries.
Webb, a team mate of Major, was the
other man who shared the individual
glory of the day with the big -half
back. Hie end runs were sweeping and
he once ran through the entire Caro
lina team from his own 60 yard line
for a touch down. For Carolina Hill
Langston and Stoney played great
football.
The game aa a whole waa loosely
played and time and time again Caro
lina's men tackled so raggedly th?t
Clemson's backfield found no trouble
in circling the ends tor long gains.
Much time waa taken out during the
contest for lujuries and several of the
Carolina team were carried from the
field of play.
Clemson outplayed the Carolina ag
gregation in every department of the
game with the exception ot open play.
The men from Picken? county tackled
with fierceness and aggression and on
many, occasions during the contest blt
the Carolina backs so hard that time
bad to be called to allow the runner to
recover.
The officials were retarded through-*
out the struggle by dilatory tactics on
the part of the Carolina team and of
ten were ?oread to penalise the local
bunch for delaying the game.
Clemson's victory was clean eat
without the semblance of finke, well
earned and well deserved.
