LONDON, August 2S.--The Franco
Turkish situation causes great
deal of apprehension in official cir
Giles. 1t is felt that the concert Of
Europe relating to the preservation

threatened. 1t is believed that the
action of France. in don adding an
Immediate settlement of all claims
by Turkey is but the first step in a
Franco Russian programme to de-
stroy the concert OF the powers, and
that it will be followed by Russia's
withdrawal from the old treaty re-
lations with Turkey, the prpsepta,
tion of similar demands against the
Porte and the enforcement under
pressure OF such terms as will open
the Mediterranean to the Russian
fleet.
III this programme is carried it ia
England, not Turkey, who is threat.
ened. The Franco Russian alliance
could at any time be made the most
powerful naval factorsin the Medi-
terrauean, practically destroying
the prestige Of Great Brit ain for the
preservation of Egypt against
France, and even threaten the con-
troll of the Suez Canal. With Rus
STA pressing on the border of
Afghapistan, and : with France
dominating the Mediterranean and
blocking England's passage to tho
East, her colonies would be 10 alb
