diplomatic sources that Pope Benedict's
appeal to the Kaiser to discontinue submar-

be successful, provided that the Allies
agree to use submarines exclusively in

New York, May 22nd-A special cable to
tho SEWprlAo from RuobaTaSt Win TuOn1pn
says: A high Turkish Official who has arriv-
ed in Bucharest from Constantinople says
anger against the Germans, EEver Pasha,
Minister of War, and Talaat Bey, Minister of
the Interior, is growing III the Turkish Army
and among the people. Field-Mai shal Baron
Won der Goltz did not die a natural death as
was reported, but was assassinated in Baghdad
by a Turkish Staff Officer, Hikmet Boy, who
was shot by a German Officer. General Won
Blume, q commander of cavalry, was assassl-
mated by a Turkish Officer after the Russians
took Trebizond. Several other German
Officers have been killed in Constantinople.
An attempt to poison Enver Pasba was made
recently in the Turkish capital. An extensive
anti-German conspiracy was discovered in
Constantinople lately. Ahmed RIA Boy, the
Sultan's son-in-law, Shikri Pasha, q former
Minister, Khelousi Bey, Conous Nadi Boy,
several high Officers of The Army. and infu-
entail members of the Young Turks Commit
tee on National Defence were arrested.
Some were exiled and imprisoned in q for
tress a: Sinope, Asia Minor, others were
hanged or shot. The conspirators had dis
tributed a manifesto throughout the Army
calling the soldiers to turn their arms against
the country's internal enemies, Enver Pasha
and Talaat Boy, who have sold Turkey to the
Germans. German soldiers are guarding the
Sublime Porte and other Official quarters.
After the fall of Trebizond, the Kaiser tele-
graphed to the Sultan promising 100000
German soldiers to fight side by side with
the Turks. General Liman Won Sanders
and Enver Pasha are on the Caucasian front
trying to organize an army of 100000
against the Russians. The Committee is
divided into factions. The Grand Vizier
said Hahn Pasba Medhat Shikri Bey led
the party opposed to the Government. The
losses on the Caucasian front amount to
more than 200, 900. The Russians have
taken 40, 900 prisoners. Besides 1000 Turk
ish soldiers there have succumbed to epide-
mic diseases. The fall of Kut-el-Am mara and
the surrender of the British there encour-
aged the Turkish Army ard people, but both
would be demoralized by another military
disaster following this temporary success.
