TURKEYS PART IN WAR
 IS THOUGHT NEGLIGIBLE
CBy a staff correspondent of the New
 York World.)

gAh VI sAANsf
 LONDON. Dec. 1O-Turkey will play an entirely negative role through out tho whole course of the war and tho assistance she will be able tolend to Germany will be restricted to keep ing a large force of British .n Egypt and several Russian army corps en- gaged on her northern iron-lers, is tho opinion of Sir Louis du Pan Mal- let. late British Ambassador at Con- stantinople, expressed in an interview with 2 correspondent of The World.
 'Therc Is, of course, always a chance" Sir Louis said, that mas- sacre of Christians will come to pass in the wilder sections or the Ottoman Empire, but the combined power of the American and German ambassa- dors will be sufficient to prevent any concerted outbreak of fanoticism.
 "Ambassador Morganthau occupies a peculiarly powerful position in Tur- key now. He has done wonderfully in protecting the interests not only of his own countrymen but of foreign ers feel sure he will be able to put stop to any uprising against Christians, should such calamity oc- cur.
 There is little danger to American missionaries and other Christians from Mohammedan fanatics, because the Turks are being held In leash by Ger man officers, who dictate the move ments of the Ottoman Empire.
 "Enyer Boy IS the strongest man there today but his power would be nullified if the Germans turned against him. There is no more powerful in- diYidual In Turkey than the German ambassador, Baron Ayagenheim. and it's quite certain he would do nothing to alienate the United States.
 There can be no holy var despite the efforts of German 10 embroil ln- dia, Egypt, and other Islamic countries because tho Turkish Mohammedlans, would be obliged in such on event to fight their present allies in common with the rest of chastendom.
 'gt is true that great mass Of Turks believe the Kaiser is Moham. medan. They also believe they will be able to seize Egypt and goodiy slice of Russia.
 "Commerce and trade of all kinds is at an absolute standstlll throughout tho Sultans domlnions. and thinking Turks realize even if they won out their country would be bankrupt for years to come"
