In view of the success of German
submarines against British ships in the
Dardanelles. such policy. it is felt
here, might seriously menace marine

the far east.
A message to the Reuter- Telegram
Company from Constantinople by way
Of Amsterdam says the note in ques-
ton, which is addressed to friendly
neutral powers. reads:
The imperial Ottoman government,
considering that the British govern
ment has not fulfilled Its obligations.

the convention of 1883 to keep no war
ships in the Suez canal, but is even now
fortifying this canal, and that the
French government with hostile intent
against the Ottoman empire has landed
troops In Egypt has by these facts been
placed under the necessity of taking
military measures for the protection of
its imperial territory. Of which Egypt
forms part. and to exesnd hostilities to
the Suez canal" ~
To the foregoing the note adds that II
