GERMANY NOT PARTY
 TO ROBBERY OF TURKEY.

Berlin. Sept. 30.-Agreement be- tween Germany, Austria, England, France and Russia to intervene for a termination of the Turko-Italian troubles is almost momentarily inn minent, according to a high official in the Foreign Office here, today. The powers are alarmed by indica- tions that, instead of remaining a purely naval affair, the Turko- Italian difficulty may become a continental struggle.
 We did our best to ptevent Italy's action in Tripoli," said the Foreign Office official who is authority for the prediction of intervention, "but Italy. did not inform Germany of its intentions until it was too late for us to interfere effectively. God knows what will happen now.
 Germany should disavow connec- tion with what Italy has done and set itself right before the world by plain Iy stating that it is not an accom- plice to the robbery of it's friend, Turkey" A

NEW TURKISH CABINET
 DETERMINED TO FIGHT

Constantinople, Sept. 30-The eabi- net drafted an appeal today to the friendly and humanitarian feelings of the powers to prevent cons ummation of the Italian grab of Tripolf . The note will be sent at once to all the more important European capitals.
 Leaders of the Constantinople gov ernment do not try to disguise the embarrassment of Turkeys position. Their policy, it is agreed, must be to fight for every minute of time, de pending on the lack of landing facili- ties off the Tripolitan coast and the heavy storms which swept it a few weeks later than this every season, to make it impossible for Italy tofget such a force here as will be able to cope with the Turkish garrison al- ready in the province.
 The fall of Grand Vizier Hakki Pasha's cabinet, for the sole reason that it favored surrender to Italy, makes it clear that Turkey is deter mined to fight at any cost. Said Pasha, the new grand vizier, openly declares for resistance Chefket Pasha, the war minister and the only member of the old cabinet who re- mains in the new one, is also of the war party. Kiamil Pasha, the first grand vizier following the Turkish revolution and foreign minister in the present cabinet, is considered the ablest statesman in Turkey. It is be- lieved he can do more than any man towards winning friends among the big European powers
 A grave danger to the government however, is that of 8 reactionary up- rising, under cover of the present ex- citement. The Mohammedan priest hood, which has always hated the Young Turks, is doing its best. to con- vince the masses that Turkeys pres ent troubles are due to the despotism' s overthrow. Chefket Pasha is keeping a tight rein ori the populace and can be counted on to act vigorously at the first sign of trouble.
