 WAR AT ANY MOMENT
German Officers and Men are Being
 Poured Into ConstantinoPle.

London, Aug. 30. 2:O5 a. m.-The Dailev Telegraph diplomatic core spondent in an article printed today says:
 Turkey may declare war at any moment It is now only a matter of a few days possibly a few hours.
 SAlI efforts of the powers in the tr1- pie entente have failed and the Lon don embassy admits the situation is very grave. The military party. now dominant in Constantinople, has reach ed the conclusion that the present Is the best time to secure the restora- ton of Macedonia and the Aegean Is- lands.
 "German officers and men are be- ing poured into Constantinople to help the Turkish army and navy. Turkey apparently counts on the Balkan states quarre1lisg among themselves while Turkey fights Greece. but it seems likely that Turkeys declaration of war against Greece will be regard ed as a hostile act by the triple en- tente, which will send a fleet to dis pose of all the Turkish and German ships.
 .The British government has warn cd Turkey plainly that in starting any campaign at this time she signs her own death warrant"

 ENTERING EUROPEAN WAR
Wireless to German Embassy at Washington Forecasts Such Action.

Washington, Aug. 3o.-The probable entrance of Turkey into the European struggle as an ally of Germany and Austria, and possibly uprisings among Great Britain's Mohammedan subjects are forecast in a wireless message to the German embassy here, received today from it's foreign office in Ser lin The message says:
 Former Minister Burns speech against Earl Gray's policy has caused a deep impression and there are hints of fatal consequences among the Mo- kammedan subjects. News from Con- stantinople foreshadows the active participation of Turkey against Rus sia and England.
 Professor Delbrueck explains the unheard-of unanimity of the Germans of the conviction that this is a strug- gle for life which has been forced on them.
 "The East Prussian authorities are recalling fugitives after the great vic- tory of GilgeffbHrg.''
 A. Rustem Bey. Turkish ambassador here. said tonight that he had received no word from his government indi- eating that it intended to join, the European conflict. Possibly because of disturbed cable and wire commu- nications. he said, he had not heard from his government for several weeks.

BODY FOUND IN CONNECTICUT
 RIVER NEAR SUFFIEJD
Unidentified Man with His Clothing
 Weighted Down with Stones.

Sufheld, Conn, Aug. 30.-The body of an unidentified man, the pockets small pebbles, was found in the Con- necticut river near here last night. The body had apparently been in the water for ten days or more and was so badly decomposed that 1t was nec- essary to bury 1t today.
 No marks were found on the body. The fact that the pockets were found loaded with stones leads the authori- ties to believe that the man ended his own life. Some belief has been ex- pressed also that there has been foul play. Deputy Sherig Woodrug is con- ducting an investigation.
 The man was about 45 years old and was well dressed.
