NEW YORK, Oct. s1.-Turkey's par
ticipatlon in the European war rep
resents the first diplomatic success
scored by Germany since the crisis Of
civilization began. Germany's military
victories apparently have been cleverly
used by its diplomats in Constantinople
to persuade the Young Turks that the
Allies would be defeated at the end OF
the war, leaving Germany and its friends
masters of the destnies Of Europe.
From the standpoint of Turkish states
manship, the chance Turkey Is taking
represents, It is true, gamblers throw;
but that is the only remaining way for
the Turks to rehabiitate themselves. If
the Allies win the war the Turkish Em-
pire now will be thrust back into Asia
Minor, while IL the German armies are
successful Turkey will be Itself again.
To gain the alliance Of the Turks Ger
many has had to persuade Constantinople
that there is a fair chance for ultimate
German victory
Judged exclusively in the light OF Ger
man interests, the Ottoman rush into the
war Is a double triumph 1t gives half
a million reinforcements to the German
armies, making possible q strong often
sive against Russia. More useful to
Germany even than the Turkish armies
in the field will be Turkish territory In
the peace conference after the war.
II the Allies should be successful In
the war, Germany may arouse the
jealousies of the Allied nations concern
ing prepcnderant influences In Turkey
Possession of Constantinople possibly may
become the most important question at
the peace conference, permitting German
diplomacy to play on the material sus-
piclons of the Allies. BY similar tactlcs
at the Congress OF Vienna, after the Ma
poleonic wars, Talleyrand made France
a dominant influence, although the freheh
armies had been beaten to their knees.

Maubeuge is a French fort

there will be an unlimited amount OF
