IIIIIIIILU V w hiiwiui Feverish Anxiety in Europe After Reported Mobilization of German, Austrian and Russian Troops. CENSORSHIP ORDERED BY AUSTRIA-HUNGARY Whether Turkey Will Agree to Modified Terms Proble maticalOfficial State ments cf Harmony. B Associated Prest. ONDON, Nov. 23. Nothing has developed within the last 12 hours to . show whether the Turks will find the proposed modifi cations In the terms .offered by the allied Balkan nations sufficient to in duce them to agree to an armistice preparatory to a definite peace. The plenlpotentarles how on then way to Tehatalja on behalf of the al lies are reported to be carrying with them fresh terms of peace in a form that may open the door which is still regarded as standing ajar for their reception. Tlie Ottoman government points out that It still has half a mil lion soldiers to draw from, while the Bulgarians have none. The allied Bal kan nations, however, retort that they are now in a position to march 150, 000 troops who have heretofore been engaged elsewhere, to swell the be sieging force in front of Tehatalja. Should the war break out It Is as sumed in military circles that an at tack will soon be opened on the forts along the Dardanelles whose fall would permit the Greek fleet to bom bard the Turkish capital. Meantime a nerve-racking stream of rumors continues to pour out from Vienna of the mobilization of Austria and Russian troops and to theBe ru mors is added one from Prague which nays five German army corps have called up the reservists. These ru mors accord badly with Premlrr-As-' ' qulth's statement last night as to the prevailing harmony among the Eu ropean powers. Official denials quick ly follow each story of the calling up of reservists by the various armies, but the denials fail to dissipate the general anxiety as to the situation. ' A news agency dispatch from-Vienna says a censorship has been estab lished on all telegraphic , and tele phonic communications from Austria Hungary to foreign countries since early this morning. TRYING TO CONCEAL CHOLERA'S RAVAGES By Associated Print. Constantinople, Nov. 23 The Turk ish government reports a great de crease in cholera's ravages during the past few days but this Is not widely credited among foreign residents. Some attempt Is being made at last to house the soldiers suffering from the disease. Wooden huts are being built at the San Btefano cholera camp, which a few davs ago was strewn with groups of dead and dying. Most of the bodies of the victims have been carted away. The camp, however, is swarming with dead, dying and sus pect. A train load, of stricken sol diers, numbering from one to two thousand, arrived at the camp today and the belief Is expressed that snch train loads are brought there dally. It Is reported that many of the troops die In the trenches along the Tchatal- j Ja lines. ' , Little use Is being made of the for eign members of the Red Chescent society. They are politely received by the authorities but are not gfven any duty td perform. Some of the foreign doctors have Jmprovtsed hospitals and themselves go out and bring in the wounded men from the front.

The night had been clear and fogless, leaving the smooth shorn gridiron dry and hard for the day's work. AH condi tions, were Ideal for the staging of the biggest football battle of the year. All the hotels In town were crowded to capacity last night by the advance guard of spectators' and the "standing room only" sign was; out before dark. More than a thousand persons who could not obtain accommodations In the hotels spent the night in sleeping cars in the railroad yards. Automobllists from east, west, north and south began to arrive before day break in an unbroken line. Most of the machines were decked with the blue of Yale or the crimson of Har vard and thousands of white-lettered pennants fluttered from the car bodies. Fortune's first smile was for the blue, the toss giving CapV'n Spauld ing the kick-off and the west goal. After a valley of kicking from both teams they finally settled down with the ball in Yale's possession on the blues' 2 6 -yard line.' On Flynn's kick, however, the ball changed hands on Harvard's 34-yard line and Wendell made seven yards through the blue line on two rushes. Two fake kicks favored Harvard, making it a first down on Yale's 24-yard line. Anoth er gain, and Brickley dropped back to try at a field goal, but he failed. The ball was brought out and Yale kicked after one t-ush. There came a series of scrimmages and Flynn made 12 yards around Harvard's left end, but' holding in the Yale line sent the Blue back. Kicking and another se ries of scrimmages followed. Then Felton's kick was muffed by Wheeler on Yale's 25-yard line and Brickley picked it. up and ran to the goal line. Hardwlck kicked goal.

A forward fouled and on the second Yale attempt Harvard caught the ball on their 23-yard lino. hero was a punting duel. Then Har vard began rushing but a 20-yard pen alty put the ball back to the 30-yara line. Crowd Fills New Haven The two teams spent the night very quietly; the- Yale players remaining at the infirmary on the outskirts of tno city while the Harvard eleven slept at New London, 50 miles from the scene. This kept the players away from the stream of visitors which started yes terday and which did not seem to di minish In size throughout the night New Haven decked herself in holiday garb of crlmoon and blue and threw onen wide her hotels, eating nouses, clubs and private residences for the entertainment of the flag-waving host. The crowd that had been celebrat ing the "night before the battle was lust retlrlna for a few hours Sleep when the vanguard of the day's visi tnra reached the City. Discussion of the two teams, tnetr relative strength and the individual ability of the players seemed the sole theme of conversation Harvard con tinued the favorite in the early morn inc bettlnar with plenty of Yale money In sight as soon as the prevailing odds of ten to nine showed signs or lengin- enlng. Remembering that the last two games sad resulted In scoreless ties and that the Yale-Princeton con test last week was also without decls. ion, several wagers were recorded In favor of a Harvard victory ,ln any event. The odds of 10 to 7, or 2 to 1 till ntavalled this morning. The coaches reported tnai me piny era were In snlendld condition. The Yale team breakfasted short after o'clock and then went on a walk Into the country. The Harvard players were about the hotel at New London ahnut the same time and by 9 o'clock grips were packed and preparations completed for the 60-mile trip by spe cial train to this city.

Ettor, leader of the Lawrence textile strike on trial aa an accessory in tho murder of Anna Loplzzo today insisted upan addressing the Jury in his own behalf when District Attorney Attwlll completed his closing argument Arising in the cage, Ettor declared: "I have been tried here not on my acts but upon my views. "1 make no threats,' but history does. History records things with a little variation here and there, but nothing can efface the fact that be cause of my political and socialist views, t am brought to the bar. "I want to reply to the district at torney and to say that if his concep tion of wealth as evplalned by him Is correct, then all the political econo mists, all tho thinkers, all the great men and women of this country have had no effect." Salem, Mass., Nov. 23. Joseph J. Ettor, leader of the Lawrence strike, , on trial here with Arturo Glovannittl and Joseph Caruso, shouted from the prisoner's cage today, breaking Jn on District Attorney Attwlll s closing ar gument to the Jury. Mr. Attwlll, after reading from the bylaws of the . dustrlal Workers of the Worm, , argued that they provided for revenue: from individual members to ' finance the executive board and that Ettor had a motive' to increase the mem bership when he went to Lawrence. "No sir," shouted Ettor, half rismg - hla seat. Tho defendant s face ushed red with anger. - Giovannitti, sitting beside him, grabbed him by the coat. His attorney, J. P. S. Ma iioney, turned quickly, motioning Et tor to restrain himself, and from some one in the crowd behind the rail there came suppressed applause as the sheriff rapped for order and the . Incident passed. The district attorney continued nis argument, saying that for Caruso, ig norant of American conditions and traditions, there might be some ex cuse, but that tn tnis case- tne malig nant, brutal sources which "Inspired such men to crime must he consid- red." Attacks Leaders' Motives. The source of inspiration," v snid Mr. Attwlll, "to the crime of Unruso was the defendant Ettor and the de fendant Glovannittl. You have seen these defendants on the stand and you know they were able to appreciate a situation which the strongest men in Lawrence feared. After taking com mand of that situation and after crime resulted, they now say, "We are n ;t responsible because the material w is inflamable and would have gone off anyway." These men are not the philanthro pists that they havfe'been pictured. They came to Massachusetts of their own volition seeking the lU3t or pow er, the lust of notoriety if not the lust of money." The district attorney reviewed all the alleged violent utterances of the defendant, the atempt to force a set tlement with the mill owners., the or ganization of the peaceful parade and demonstration in the dark on the morning of January 20, the street car riots which preceeded It and the sub sequent riot which ended tn the kill ing of Anna Loplzzo. All this he said was planned by Ettor, "the lltle gen eral, to make Lawrence 'an unhappy city', and show the mill owners that no one could go to work In the mills. A.B.
