Sea Power in the .Egean.

Turkey learned the lesson Of sea
power In her war with the Balkan
allies: the superiority OF the Greek
fleet checkmated more than one plan
to land troops at a strategic point on
Turkish territory; indeed, II Turkey
had been thrifty enough to pay her bill
for dreadnoughts ordered in England
and had reorganized her navy the issue
Of the conflict would probably have
been very different. Having learned
how great factor SEA power may be in
war Of magnitude, Turkey has en-
barked on q policy Of naval expansion.
Having regained territory given to
Bulgaria by the treaty Of London.
Turkey is bent on making good her
claim to 4Egean islands which have
fallen to the share Of Greece or may
be awarded to her.
1t was reported not long ago that
Turkey had recovered two dread
thoughts building In England and for
feited when Instruments on the pur-
chase money were not forthcoming. and
now the Rio de Janelro. approaching

quired from Brazil. This ship was

have a displacement Of 1880 tons.
main battery Of fourteen L. inch
guns, and speed Of 90 knots. Thus
Greece is already engaged In a stern
chase to overtake Turkeys sea power
on paper. and as Turkey can choose
her own time to strike at Greece the
situation must be viewed with grave
concern at Athens. What makes 1t
ominous Is that the purchase money
for the Rio de Janeiro was borrowed
In France ostensibly to pay arrears Of
salaries Mt Constantinople. The infer
ence Is that Turkey will soon find a
pretext for hostilities.
