Turkey and the Widening

Turkey. if Il enters into the war,
will greatly widen the area of hostili-
ties The Balkan States will almost
certainly be thrown into a turmoil
by their historic enemy's taking up
arms once more Greece, Roumania
and perhaps Bulgaria, having almost
driven the Ottoman Empire out Of
Europe, cannot fail TO be alarmed and
impelled to action by the reappear-
ance of the Turk on the field as an
ally of Teutonic powers hostile 10

Italy. just settled into possession of
Turkeys Tripolitan dominions. can
rot regard with composure the pos
sibility Of Turkey as neighbor in
Egypt.
The hostile forces which Turkey
will invite into the European struggle
are so great that the Kaiser must
count rather upon the ability of the
Sultan to stir up a holy war" among
England's Mahommedan subjects in
India and Egypt than upon the direct
ala that Musselman troops can give
in Europe by creating a diversion
upon Russia's southern border. What
the prospects of a holy war" are no
Western critic can definitely say It
is one of those things which have
always threatened but which have
not materialized. But that might also
have been said OF general European
war until just now. Englands
troubles in Europe naturally make
her situation in India and Egypt diff
cult and her danger there will be
increased by the presence of a Ma
hommedan power among her enemies
and by active incitement of the Tur-
kish Sultan. The peril may bring

The German Ambassador was re-
ported yesterday as saying that ne
had incontrovertible information that
quantities OF contraband of war. sucn
as ammunition, automobiles aud
clothing" were being shipped con-
stantly from the United States TO
England, with which country his own
Is now at war
We have no doubt that Count Won
BernstOrff's information is accurate
The sea way to the British Islands
is practically open to commerce, and
it is quite natural that there should
be traffic in goods desired by a belli-
gerent, even goods Of that class Of
contraband which Chief Justice Chase
defined as articles manufactured
and primarily and ordinarily used FOR
military purposes in time of war"
This, of course, would include arms
ana ammunition.
The German Ambassador was fur
ther reported as saying that in, his
opinion this constituted "a plain vio-
lation of the neutrality of the United
States" He must have brought tue
matter to the attention either of the
President or of Secretary Bryan, for
yesterday I despatch from Washing
ton grayely announced that the De
pertinent of State was considering
whether such sales do in fact con-
stitute a neutrality breach.
II would be a poor compliment to
the German Ambassadors intelii-
gence and knowledge of international
law and precedents to suppose that
his mind can for an instant entertain
the idea that the shipping of contra.
band goods of private individuals
constitutes a breach of neutrality by
the American Government; or that
in law or morals or even in good
friendship there exists any obligation
on the part Of this Government to
prevent the shipment to England. for
instance, of goods declared by Ger
many to be contraband of war. or to
Germany of goods similarly regarded
by Great Britain.
If there could possibly be any doubt
in Count Won Bernstorff's mind about
the traditional and consistent policy
of our Government in this respect he
would find a clear statement in the
proclamation issued by President
VI ant On august 80 ANtNs at the AlilH
Of the last previous war between
Germany and France
While all persons may lawfully
and without restriction. by reason of
the aforesaid state of war. manufac-
ture and sell within the United States
arms and munitions of war and other
articles ordinarily known as contra
band of war yet they cannot carry
such articles upon the high seas for
the use or service Of either belli-
eerent without incurring
the risk of hostile capture and the
penalties denounced by the law of
nations in that behalf And | do
hereby give notice that all citizens
OF the United States, and others who
may claim the protection of this
Government. who may misconduct
themselves in the premises will do
so at their peril, and that they can in
TO wise obtain any protection from
the Government Of the United States
against the consequences of their
misconduct"
The general principle of neutral
obligation with regard TO the sale and
shipment of contraband goods has
been stated over and over again by
