TURKEY WEARY OF
RULE OF GERMAN
Prominent American Thinks America
be Unwise to Declare War on Turks.
Would be Playing Into Kaiscr's
Hand.

Hnnu.
Boston, Nov. 30.-The Turks are
heartily tired of German rule and a
declaration of war by the United
States against Turkey now would be
playing into the hands of the Berlin
officials, in the opinion of DR.. VIM. T..
Strong, editorial secretary Of the
American Board of Commissioners for
foreign missions.
Why the United States should de-
clare war upon either Turkey or Bull
Earia Is incomprchcnsibc to those
who know anything Of tho internal
situation Of those two countries. said
Il statement issued by DR.. Strong to-
night. Both Of the countries are as
much under the control of Germany
as are Belgium and Poland.
''Who would suggest" he continu-
cd" that wo should declare war on
Belgium because Belgian subjects arc
working for Germany and Belgium is
supplying Germany with foodstuffs
and other war equipment? Those
who have come out of Turkey during
the last few months give only one
testimony, and that is to the effect
that Turkey IS heartily tired of the
domination Of Germany. Even tho
leaders recognize that they went into
this war not fer any possible gain to
turkey but with every opportunity Of
losing everything.
."1f war should be declared on Tur-
key and Bulgaria, what could the
United States do?" It would be
cruel in the extreme to make an at
tack upon a people who hate the al
lance with Germany with a perfect
hatred and who would gladly break
that alliance If they had the power
to do so. 4 declaration Of war tc,lay
on The rart Of the United State, would
lead to new attack under German
direction upon the non -NIoslem popu-
lations Of Turkey, whose elimination
from Asia Minor is one OF the mani
fest policies Of Germany
oiiN Soii litluiy lHillK OIL luC pCO-
PIE Of the United States favoring any
step which could, so far as we can
sec. lead to nothing that would alb
breviate this war, but would open the
door for new and startling atrocities
under the leadership Of Berlin, to
say nothing Of impcrlling all Ameri-
can interests in both countries. We
have reason to know that the Bulgar-
ian and Turkish officials are increas-
ingly friendly toward the United
States, as they become dissatisfied
and even hostile to German rule.
This is tendency to be encouraged
lathcr than discouraged.
"Thc sending Of Bernstorff to Con-
stantinople was with the idea of
turning Turkey against the United
States. In the face Of the rising tide
Of German opposition in Turkey, he
will probably be unable to do so un-
less the United States by dcclara-
ton Of war plays into his hands and
into the hands Of the Berlin Caicials."
