Iermany needs them" said Dr. Maxim

fair way OF solution.

key. For example. We have 30. 600. 0
Kilograms OF cotton which Germans can

sarics and Of the progress or military

Independence For Turkey.
Such n success will mean indepen
dence for Turkey for the hrst time" ne

less Of peace propaganda in Turkey to-
day than anywhere else You must -
member that for decades there has
hardly been peace for ten consecutt.e
years with us and accordingly we are
accustomed to conflicts We reckon
that the present conflict will last one
to two years more, but We are really
Indifferent as TO the duration OF the
war. In any event Turkey will be the
last TO call a halt.
Turkey r. enthusiastic for a number
OF reasons. First. she has never fought
previously nuder such favorable condi-
tions. Second. the thought OF eventual
Independence STIMULATES the troops ire
mendously. Third. the sellers are spur
red on by hatred for their enemies. This
hatred - engendered by Illegal acts. The
Turks regard the allies as real barbar-
ians. and when captured In q wounded
condition frequent refuse food or drink
from their captRrs though when condi-
{ lions are reversal. the Turks give their
prisoners freel OF their food"
