DISMEMBERMENT OF TURKEY THOUGHT
 TO BE IMMINENT
Ottoman Empires Troops Mobilizing for Desper-
 ate Struggle.

Constantinople, Aug. 24.-Answer- ing simultaneous challenges from Austria and Montenegro, Turkey be- gan a rapid mobilization of troops to- day.
 The invasion of Novihazar by Aus trian soldiers is taken as a plain inti- mation that Austria has decided upon another grab. The call of the entire Montenegrin army to the scene is taken to mean that an attempt. will be made by Nicholas to annex northern Albania.
 It is believed here that Turkey s nearest neighbofS consider the time ripe for dismembering the Ottoman empire. The Turks will resist des- perately. One member of the cabi- net said. today, that the world will have chance soon to see how they car. fight. Their showing against Italy was poor, he observed, because it was wholly a naval campaign and Turkey has no warships that will do more than float On land, he de- clared, it will be different. And he pointed out that foreign as well as Turkish military authorities consider the Turkish soldiers perhaps the fin. est in the world.
 TheH danger. from abroad seems likely to avert revolution. Rival parties are forgetting their differ ences The government has received assurances of the heartiest support in the present crisis from leaders of the hitherto disgruntled Young Turkish group.
