A ENGLAND
CAUSED WAR
TURKISH GOVERNMENT SAYS
BRITISH ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR HER RESORT TO
ARMS.

London, England.-Turkey has
issued a statement through Rome
placing the blame for the war be-
tween the British and Ottoman en-
pires on England, who she says COM
plains of Turkeys acquisition of the
German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau and does not mention anything
OF her seizure of two Turkish battle
ships which were being built in Eng
land at the outbreak of the war. Tur-
key also charges that England did
all she could to wreck Turkey and
that the British guaranty of integ-
rity could not be regarded seriously
becauseIof her occupation of Egypt.
Turkeys threat to preach a holy
war is the cause of uneasiness in
Germany DIS we'll as in England and
in France, observers of the political
situation point out, because of it's
possible effect on Italy. So far as
Egypt is concerned the danger mark
seems to have passed, as the chiefs
of the Ulema, composed of the lead
ing Moslem religious societies., have
issued a proclamation urging the
Moslems to remain calm while the
shieks in the Sundan have refrained
from taking action regarding Tur-
keys proclamation of war on the
allies.[
