RUM0R THAT TURKS
WILL WAR ON RUSSIA
Unconfirmed News to That'Ef-
feet Posted Today in
.- New York.
PORTE'S AMBASSADOR
WITHOUT INFORMATION
Intimation That British Interests in
Ottoman Empire Will be Com
mitted to United States.

NEW YORK. September Dow,
Jones & Co. today published the follow
ing on its news ticket:
London-Unconfirmed reports are cur
rent here that Turkey has declared war
on Russia, Communication with Con-
stantinople has been cut off for three
days and the Turkish ambassador stated
he had no way of telling when he would
hear from his government again
The Turkish ambassador here SAID to-
day he was unable to confirm the report
that his country had declared war on
Russia He has not been in cable COM
munication with his government for days
Mobilization Explained.
The object of the mobilization of
Turkish troops was described in
statement today by the Turkish am
bassador. A. Rustem Bey.
1.-The Turkish mobilization, which
started about month ago. and not
quite recently as yesterdays kilograms
might make one think has brought to
arms not 100000 men mentioned in the
same dispatches. but probably more
than 100000" said the ambassador,
This operation is not meant to allow
Turkey to attack Greece, ner OlHeIeIlCeS
with Greece being the smallest of her
concerns today. She has to prepare in
view of other and much more important
contingencies.
Britain Doubts Neutrality.
Great Britain asked the United States
to he prepared to care for British diplo-
matte interests in Turkey, indicating that
the allies had practically lost hope OF
persuading the Ottoman empire to re-
main neutral.
DISPATCHES received at the British en-
bassy referred to the incorporation in the
Turkish army of several German officers
which was regarded as the forerunner of
Intervention by the porte in behalf of
Germany.
Turkeys entry into the conflict would
mean the immediate alignment of Italy
as well as Greece on the side OF Great
Britain, France, Russia, Servia, Monte
negro and Roumania, diplomats here
believe.
Just what the attitude of Bulgaria will
be is a matter of uncertainty. though
the Turkish ambassador here gave out
a statement speaking of the community
of interest of Bulgaria and Turkey.
The Turkish situation was watched
with deepest concern by diplomats be-
cause of the immnence of general war
in the Balkans and extension of the war
drama to all of eastern Europe.

Wedge Into German Center.
| In a dispatch from Paris dated Sun
| day, August 90, the local correspondent
of the Daily Mail says there is one cir
| cumstahce regarding the position in
which the allied armies now find them
selves which may be regarded as hope
| full This is that at st. Quentin, the
angle of their position, they appear to
| have thrust forward a threatening wedge
| into the enemy's center. The allies Will
have the benefit in the engagement that
| will be resumed at daybreak tomorrow
| Monday, the correspondent continues
of moving on the enemy's interior lines.
There is, therefore. perhaps hope that
a vigorous counter attack from La fere
| might succeed in cutting through the
German center.
so here is the enemy within sixty
| miles of Paris the correspondent de-
| clares. What will happen if the for
tune of this battle once again goes
against the allies? We may perhaps see

French comrades on Paris
