VIENNA. Nov. 9.-The economic, financial and military status of Tur- key is highly satisfactory and her relations with the Central Powers are of the greatest friendship, said lHaln Bey. Turkish minister of For eign affairs, in an interview here recently.
 The establishment in the ottto- man Empire Of food commission after the German idea, on which sey- eral German experts served, the for eign minister explained had solved the problem of feeding the large cen ters of population.
 This years crop was very good
 Financially, the minister said, the country was one of the strongest among the European belligerents.
 "Our troops are fighting well ey- erywhere," said Halil Bey, and have just distinguished themselves in Dob' rudla. which is the best answer to the statements made now and then that Turkey is about to make sep larate peace with the Entente. We stand or fall with the Central Pow CTS and at present there is nothing to indicate fall, not SO long as we have Germany to head the com bnation.
 "The Germans cannot be beaten in this war because with spirit to win they combine an unusually high abil' iuy as organizers. Germany's will to win and her organization are for Turkey every guarantee for success and victory"
