\ susgestion Is advanced tonight that
Turkey will hardly. even under German
influence risk destruction by assailing
France and ENGLAND and forcing Greece,
Italy and Rumania also to abandon their
attitude OF neutrality. There Is still the
possibility that the Porte will excuse the
depredatons in the Black Sea by throwing
the responsibility on the shoulders OF the
German naval commanders with the
Turkish fleet. and by Offering the usual
smooth apology. The shaping of events.
However. points to complete control OF

Turkey Is driven out OF Europe and Con-
stantinople becomes a Christian city.
No anxiety is felt In Petrograd, says
the Daily Mail. over the consequences OF
tho new development. But there Is keen
interest as to what the Balkan States will
do. Bulgaria has lately given an assur-
anco that she has no treaty with Turkey
which would compel her 20 take Joint ac-
ton with that country, and she would
probably yield to the chance to fall upon
the Turks II the allies guaranteed her
some reward at the end of the war. The
Rumanian feeling Is stronger than ever
in favor of the allies, and there is little
doubt here that Greece Immediately and
Italy very soon will join forces with the
Triple Entente.
Tho Times, commenting on the posi-
hllties OF the situation. says that the
Sultan and his advisers have been over
borne by the Young Turks, who are bent
on war. The Times adds:
THE present mighty struggle will mean
