TURKEY MAY ADD
To WAR FLAME BY
AIDING GERMANY
Tense Situation Exists at Con-
stantInopIe and Mobilization
of SuItan's Army May Be
Ordered Soon,


Washington, Aug. 26.-Tension IL so
acute in Constantinople that diplo-
mats there fear Turkey may at any
moment lie drawn into the general
European war on the side Of Germany
and Austria.
A strict censorship has been placed
on the newspapers In Turkey which
lare now controlled by the military
and are being used. according to Dip
lomatic dispatches here. to create a
strong pro-German feeling.
The Turkish cabinet is wavefihg be-
tween declaration of war and the
preservation Of neutrality The Dip
lomatic representatives of the various
powers are in constant conference
with the government officials. Great
Britain and Russia are endeavoring
to keep Turkey neutral. The German
ambassador, IL is understood, has In
timated that while Germany wishes
Turkey to remain neutral, he believed
the Ottoman empire should mobilize
to prevent an invasion by Russia.
Feeling Is most acute over the en-
try into the Dardanelles of the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau. Great
Britain, Russia and France not only
requested ten days ago that If these
ships were purchased by Turkey, the
crews be sent to either Germany or
Austria. but promised safe conduct.
Today many of the German sailors are
still ON board and l5o or more are
said to have been distributed among
Turkish torpedo boats.
The British government is observ-
Ing these incidents with much disfn-
vor and the situation has been aggra-
waited by the inability Of several Eng
llsh merchant ships to pass through
the DardanelIes even after the Grand
Vizier had given the requisite per-
mission. Subordinate officials dis
obeyed the Instructions In way as
yet explained.
Great Britain has let II be known
that If the Goeben and Breslau enter
the Mediterranean with German crews
aboard they viii be fired upon by tho
English fleet
Neither Great Britain nor Russia,
however, has assumed threatening
automatically hoping to per-
suade Turkey to remain neutral. A
few days ago the Russian ambassador
was requested to cease using the wire-
less ON Russian vessels IN the harbor
He acquiesced rather than bring ON
an issue with his government.
