TURKS TIRED
Continued from Page One)

If war should be declared on Tur-
key and Bulgaria. what could the
United States DO? 1t would be cruel
in the extreme to make an attack up
on a people who hate the alliance with
Germany with a perfect hatred and
who would gladly break that alliance if
they had the power to do 50. \ dec
laration Of war today on the part Of
the United States would lead to new
attack under German direction upon
the non Moslem populations of Turkey,
hose elimination from Asia Minor is
one of the manifest policies of Ger
many.
Playing into German Hands
One can hardly think of the people
of the United States favoring any step
which could. so far as we can see, lead
to nothing that would abbreviate this
war but would open the door for new
and startling atrocities under the lead
ership of Berlin, to say nothing of i'm i
perillng all American interests in both
countries. We have reason to know
that the Bulgarian and the Turkish Of
ticials are increasingly friendly toward
the United States as they become dis
satisfied and even hostile to German
rule. This is a tendency to be encour-
aged rather than discouraged.
The sending of Bcrnstorff TO Con-
stantinople was with the idea of turn
ing Turkey against the United States.
III the face of the rising tide of German
opposition in Turkey he will probably
be unable to do 50. unless the United
states by a declaration of war plays
into his hands and into the hands of
