LONDON, Oct. 81.-Interest in the

ing of several other vessels and the

acts by the Turks reported from va

IN THE WAR ZONE;,
What THEY MEAN
By ]. W. T. MASON
Former European Manager OF The United
Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Whether Italy
and the Balkan kingdoms will be drawn
into the European war because Of Iur-
keys hostilites against Russia, depends
entirely upon Turkey. The Balkan
Kingdoms and Italy are Turkeys most
recent despoilers Of territory, and they
have reused bitter personal resentment
among the Young Turk leaders, whose
incapacity was revealed in the Balkan
and 1ripoli campaigns.
If the Ottoman government were free
10 choose its adyersaries there is no
doubt but that Italy and the Balkan
countries would be attacked.
IL is Germany's military interest TO
prevent the Turks dragging the Balkan
people and the Italians into the war.
Germany would still be a possible gamer
through the injection Of the Turkish
question into the peace conference after
the war, even if Italy and the Balkan
nations were forced to begin hOstilities
against the Sultanate. But all military
advantage to Germany Of the Turkish
alliance would be lost during the con-
tinuation of the war. If Germany is
financing the Turkish campaign, it Is
certain that the Ottoman arms would
be used only against Russia and Egypt,
while the spiritual authority of the Sui
tan will be exerted 10 cause an insur-
rection among the Mahometan colonial
subjects of England and France.
The probability is, at the outset,
that Germany will bring sufficient pres
sure TO bear at Constantinople TO pre-
vent Turkey committing overt acts
against italy OF any of the Balkan pow
ers. Whether the Turks can be indeii
nitely restrained after their passions are
aroused, IS a problem of the future.
Turkey is particularly bitter against
Greece. because the Aegian Islands went
TO the Greeks after the Balkan war; but
Greece cannot be attacked separately
because Italy guarantees the islands to
her. There are other complications that
would make il almost impossible for
Turkey TO single out any one power for
chastisement without causing a general
attack on her.

trigger of the gun in his face three
times. In neither case was any
money obtained.
The attempted hold up was the most
daring tried here for some time and the
entire State and city police forces are
now at work endeavoring to find the
four men. The first word received here
of the attempted robbery was made
when the car arrived about 1890 Con-

robbery. According to the story the car

the men drew a revolver and pointing it
at Crossan demanded: "Give us your
money"
Although Crossan had his loose
change in a carrier strapped to his
waist he refused to give it up, where
upon the masked men grappled with
Crossan. Motorman Murphy hearing
the scuffle peered under the front
