PARIS, Oct. 20 (Correspondence of the Associated Press).—No fewer than 200,000 British soldiers are under the orders of Field Marshal Sir John , French on the firing lines at this time. | Beyond these, however, there are many auxiliary troops on duty at the trans. | port and supply base. This army acts as a complete unit, in conjunction with their French comrades, under the com- mand of Gen. Joffre. The British base is near @ port on the End@ish Channel and the. field of | action of the British troops is near) the Belgian frontier and in Belgium itself, Virtually all the British soldiers in the field, of all branches of the; army, are men with a considerable amount of service, many of them hav- | ing had from ten to twelve years’ training, and having participated in parts of the world. The gaps in their ranks ase filled with re-enlisted men! who have hastened back to the army . When it is expected large bodies of British territorials, who have volunteered for foreign service, will have been trained suf- fictently to take the fleld, it is es- timated that the force at Bir John French's disposal will have reached 600,000 men, These will include the British and native troops from India | and portions of the garrisons at | Malta and Gibraltar. By that time also many of the Austraiiana, Can- adians and New Zealand detach- ments will have joined the forces on the Continent. The bulk of Lord Kitchener's new army of 1,000,000 men now coming into being will not, according to an/| expert military view, be ready for ser- | vice in the fleld until next spring, but | owing to the superior class of men who have responded to the call their training !s progressing rapidly. Among them, according to authoritative cir- clres, there are nearly 200,000 old gol- | diers who have served in the British regular army for periods ranging from seven to twelve years, These form an t noblest contribution that can be made to Belgium. RUSSIAON TERMS, ~ SANSULS. Asked What Wou Would Satisfy Czar for Bombardment, Morgenthau Cables. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Delayed messages from Ambassador Morgen- thau at Constantinople, dated late Saturday, received here to-day, say the Turkish Ministers of Agriculture and Interior, through a neutral dipto- mat, asked the Russian Ambassador before his departure what terms would pacify Russia and if an apology would be satisfactory. Ambassador Morgenthau assisted in arranging a special train for the British, French and Russian Ambas- sadore, who left Saturday night, and later arranged for another special train to remove pante-etricken Ameri- cans. A message from Ambassador Mor- genthau at Constantinople late this afternoon shows that the Russians {in that clty are departing en mi ‘The Italian Ambassador helped them in their flight, it is sald, LONDON, Nov. 3—The Turkish Ambassador to Great Britain, Tewfk Pasha, wis handed his passports to- day. Previously he had visited the Foreign Minister, Sir Edward Grey, to say goodby. He will start for home to-morrow. War has not yet been formally de- clared on Turkey, but the with- drawal from Constantinople of the Ambassadors of Great Britain, France and Russia is regarded in London as being equivalent to a aig- nal for hostilities. It 1s understood here that the For- eign Office has given Turkey one last chance to disavow her intention of making war on the powers of the Entente, but not much hope is ex- pressed that she will respond to this chance t In neutral, ’ This step was taken because the Foreign Office is not positive its firat note ever reached the Turkish Gov. ernment. The preparations of the Turkish Ambassador to depart froin London was not permitted to operate against this final endeavor. Reports persist that it army corps of Turkish troops have already crossed the Egyptian frontier. The oficial press bureau has no con- firmation. A rigid censorship is in effect on news from the east. This is believed to be due to plans on the part of the Franco-British fleet to attack the Dardanelles forts. Ro- ports from Italian sources indicate that the bigger ahips of the fleets which have been bombarding Catarro steamed away Saturday to the east. It is believed they have proceeded | to the naval base tendered at the out- | break of the war by Greece, from which point they will be within strik. ing distance of the Dardanelles. pecsbedils ia devesing FRANCE TAKES STEPS TO PREVENT OUTBREAK OF GREAT EPIDEMIC.
