TURKEY MEANS WAR,
GERMANY IS TOLD
Declaration of HostilitieS
With Austria Only Matter
of Days, Is Report.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 12.-Ger-
many's urgent requests upon the
Austrian foreign office to reopen ne
gotiations with Turkey for a settle
ment Of the indemnity dispute, was
due TO her discovery that Turkey
has practically completed preparations
for a declaration Of war against Aus
tria, according 10 information that
reached the Russian foreign office to-
day.
This information says that Turkey
has abandoned all hope for peace, and
that the outbreak OF hostilities is a
question only OF days.
The foreign office believes that Chan
celior Won Buelow's request upon Aus
trian Foreign Minister Won Aerenthal
will have an opposite effect from that
desired. II has placed Austria on the
defensive and has stiffened Turkey S
indemnity demands until IL is consider
ed impro bable that Austria will yield
Turkey also refuses to pleGge the end
ing OF the boycott against Austria
which Austria demands as condition
precedent TO the conclusion OF an in
demnity agreement
Baron Won Aerenthal was violently
opposed to following out Won Buelow s
suggestion, but pressure was brought
10 bear upon him by Emperor Franz
Josef He prOphesied the attitude
that Turkey has assumed and declared
his preference for precipitating the con-
hict, which he considers inevitable.
