He will use every human means

BERLIN. Jan. 12.-Ali Ferid Bey.
one Of the best known Turkish writ
ers. has been in Berlin for several
weeks to study the economic condi.
tons OF Germany. In an interview
with a representative OF the "Herliner
Tageblatt," he enthusiastically pre-
dicted that Turkey will not only re-
conquer Egypt. but also Tripolitania
and Tunis before the end of the war.
1.-THE drive across the Suez Canal is
no idle bluff, as the English and their
Allies claim" the Turk said. 81 have
been in Syria for seven months and
know what is going on there The
campaign against Egypt has been pre-
pared with wonderful thoroughness;
the world will be astonished when it
begins. We expect strong resistance
along the canal, but there is absolutely
no doubt that we will reach Cairo, as
we can throw one million men into
the fight on this front.
I'VE have hundreds of thousands OF
men who are trained and fit but could
not be used SO far, as we did not have
aims and ammunition enough for
them. Since the road to Serbia has
been opened these troops have been
uickly armed and they will be ready
for action in few weeks, at the latest
about the middle of February. Hun,

iinued. -Tripolitania and .Tunis will
also be taken by us Partly, this Is
alreaoy accomplished. because the
Italians have practically been driven
ont of Tripolitania by the Senussi.
They only hold the coast towns. where
the guns Of their warshlps and those
Of their allies protect them.
The rising of the Senussi is far

THE aim of the order is to reunite

ITO put down this instruction the

AGITATION PROHIBITED

by Fac. arr '|tI News Service.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE latest sub
marine controversies and the steady
growth of the export of American
arms and ammunition to the countries
of the Allies have further increased
the bitter feeling of the German ma.
ton against the United States.
In the Southern part of Germany
an agitation for a general boycott
against American goods after the war
has been started. a self-constituted
committee sent out thousands of cir.
culars TO merchants and consumers,
urging them to punish the United
States commercially for their unfair,
ness to Germany and for the arming
of the Allies.
The government does not look with
favor on this propaganda and in Bad.
en- and Wuerttemberg it has already
been stopped by the authorities.
