would be of enormous benefit to Ger
many and Austria Hungary TO have
Russia's operations on the eastern war
front hampered by a Turkish attack on
the north coast OF the Black Sea. But,
to say nothing of the cost and difficulty
of such an enterprise, Turkishl am
bitions in Europe lie in quite another di-
rection. There is very little hope OF
permanent territorial eonquests in
Southern Russia. On the other hand,
Ehver Bev and the Young Turks arc
consumed with a desire for revenge on
Greece and Servia, and feel that the
best. if not the only, chance of re-es-
tablishing the Ottoman Empire in Eu-
rope lies in recovering the territory lost
in the recent war with the Balkan
States. The Turkish government would
like to use its forces massed in and
about Constantinople TO compel recess
sions of territory in Thrace, Macedonia
and Epirus rather than to use them up
in an invasion Of Russia, made solely
for the purpose of relieving. the pres

ian forces in the Galician-Prussian thea
tire of war.
Turkey may be equal to making some
kind Of campaign against Egypt Her
armies have q clear path TO the Egyp-
tian border. The only natural obstacle
TO an invasion is the Sinai desert. Win
ter is also the best season of the year
for military operations in that part Of
the world.
These are several big obstacles TO ope
rations against Russia. The Turks have
apparently collected an army of about
100000 men in Armenia. They have
repelled a Russian advance toward Erze'
rum and may perhaps get in force up &c
the Russian border and across it. But
the hard winter in the Caucasus viii
bar any further progress. Even in gooC
weather a successful campaign there
would have to be preceded by the estab
lishment of Turkish control of the BLACK
Sea.
The plans made for Turkey by Ger
lmany and Austria Hungary would seen
more reasonable if the Ottoman En-
lpire's real military strength correspond
ed more closely to its strength on paper

Turkeys Role in the Big War
Ii1rCm Tho New York Tribunel

The shelling of the TcnnNsee's launch
in the harbor of Smyrna may have
been blunder or impudence. Either ex-
PLANTATION would accord with the meth
ods of Turkish diplomacy. But the
hutter which the news causes in this
country is not likely to be stirred into
any deeper feeling. If Enver Bey and
the Young Turks undertake TO do the
work cut out for them by their allies
they will have their hands full with
out borrowing any additional trouble.
Germany is carrying on war on two
fronts-against the Russians in the
cast and against the French, British and
Belgians in the west Austria-Hungary
is defending herself against Russia on
the north and is trying to invade Ser
via on the south. But Turkey is eX-
pected TO go TO each of her associates

arate offensive campaigns-one African,
against the British in Egypt; one Asian,
against the Russians in the Caucasus,
and one European, against the Crimea
and Bessaraba.

Egypt the Turks would find their owl
interests coinciding completely Will
those of their Teutonic allies. Egypt
belongs nominally TO the Turkish En-

nomic disadvantages which would fol
