sentatives Of the allied powers have
all left Turkey, Russia has up to the

The eensorship which the govern

suggests that the Germans are not
counting primarily on help Of this
kind. Even a successful invasion Of
Egypt BY the Turks would not give
Germany the Immediate assistance she
90 greatly desires. Sound strategy
requires that the allies keep purely on
the defensive in Egypt and even per
nit the Turks to secure q hold In the
country, rather than withdraw any
considerable force from the European
armies for Egyptian employment.
These factors in the situation indi-
cate that II German influence at Con-
stantinopie continues to be paramount,
the main Turkish strength will be
used against Russia. Above every
thing else, Germany now needs Tur-
keys help to prevent the siavs over
running German territory. II Russia
can be induced to divide her offensive
strength and employ large part Of II
against Turkey, there 10 fair chance
that no serious invasion Of Germany
by remaining Russian armies will be
possible.
To accomplish this result, 10 doubt
less the prime objective for which
Germany is working in constantinopie.
How absolute the kaiser's dictates may
be at YiIdix kiosk is an uncertain mat
ter. The temptation to recover Egypt
and the lost Balkan territory, may
prove too powerful for the Turks to
resist, once the war fever develops.
Such an eventuality by dIverting Tur-
kish strength from the Russian cam
paiqn would be Germany's serious mil
itary disaster. Turkey has always
been 4 serious subject.
