TURKEY is COOL.
Awaits Coming of Events With Calm
Assurance-Face Future Confidently.

Constantinople Oct. 9-The Turkish
government awaits coming events with
calm assurance, according to Noradund-
ghian Effendi, the Ottoman foreign min
lister. In an interview given to The
Associated Press, today. he said:
I'VE face the future with perfect con-
fidence. l should like to point out, how
ever, that the declaration of war by
Montenegro was made contrary to the
practice adopted by all civilized states.
1t went against the stipulation of The
Hague convention. of which Montenegro
was sgnatory.
I'm the first place, no attempt was
made to seek the good offices of a third
party in order to find a means of avoid
ing a conflict.
Secondly. the declaration of war did
not set forth any real or tangible cause
for war.
Thirdly. Montenegro opened hostilities
without granting the usual preliminary
delay and actually before the decara-
ton of war was presented to the Porte"
The Turkish government has decided
to make q selection from among the
Greek vessels detained in Turkish ports
and will hold those best suited for mil
itary transport purposes and release the
others. sA

Use of the Powers not to permit any
disturbance of the peace of Europe as
a whole. The Figaro regards the Wis
il of Sergius Sazonoff, the Russian
foreign minister to Berlin, as of vast
import, for it is directed to the allay
ing of any suspicious existing between
Russia and Austria. The mutual con-
fidence of these nations existed on
paper says the Figaro, but this is not
enough and it continues, "a false step;
a suspicion and all Europe would be
in flames" AS a result of NJ. SaZonoff' s
visit, it is believed that Russia will
andeavor to bring influence to bear
on Servia not to anger Austria by the
invasion of NovipaZar.
The French government has learned
through official advices that before the
Russian and Austrian ministers made
their representations to the Montene-
grin government at Gettinje, the Ser
Wan and Grecian ministers had Wis
tied the foreign office there and in
sisted that the declaration of war
should be at least adjourned Their
efforts were. however, in vain and it
is generally believed in diplomatic
circles that Montenegro acted at the
instigation of Bulgaria.

concessions made by the Balkan govern
