TURK TROOPS
CALLED HOME
Forces in Persia Have Been Or
dered to Leave
at Once.
SULTAN GIVES ULTIMATuM
Every Indication That the Sultan Is
Threatening the Kaiser Now In
stead Of Germany Menacing
Turkey-Startling Develop
ments Expected.

washington, Oct. 1.-The TURKISH
forces In Persia have been ordered by
Constantinople to leave at once, ac-
cording to report reaching the state
department from Teheran.
This action was taken, it Is said, be-
cause of the disaster to Turkish troops
in Palestine. 1t is also reported that
the British probably will reoccupy
Baku.
Turks Give Kaiser Uitimatum.
London, Oct. 4.-The Turkish situa-
tion was described in well-informed
diplomatic circles here as moving"
whereas in the same quarters two days
ago it was declared to be stagnant.
No official action, however, has been
taken, and the British officials are con-
tentfng themselves with watching the
unofficial developments.
The opinion is freely expressed that
definite appeal will come from Tur-
key when it is forcibly brought to her
attention that Germany is unable long
er to strengthen her army or check her
continued losses.
There is every indication, diplomats
say, instead of Germany threatening
Turkey, as was reported a fortnight
ago, when Bulgaria was wavering, Tur-
key now is threatening Germany. This
has resulted in an effort by Germany
to get some troops to Turkey, but the
size of the force to be sent or what
success has been made in Transporting
it are not known.
Reports that the central powers
have sent large force to Sofia, the
Bulgarian capital, are discredited on
all sides.
Enver Pasha Strong Pro-German.
A diplomat familiar with Turkey
points out that it will take the great
est pressure on Enver Pasha, strong
pro-German, to make peace proposals.
Reports that Turkey took up with Ger
many the question of Turkeys re-
questtng peace are characterized as
'intelligent anticipation" and evident
ly emanated from the demands Turkey
made for military help.
Failure to get this help, which Ger
many, it seems, will not be able to
give, and further TeutOn reverses on
the western front, are sure to bring
proposals from Turkey. This is the
belief in the best Informed circles. On
the other hand, it is pointed out that
situations may be developing in Tur-
key, of which little or nothing is known
here, that might result in proposals
coming at any time.

new HUN CHANCELLOR
Prince Macmillan of Baden Sue
ceeds HertIing.
Was Proposed as Possible Successor
to the kaiser-known as
Pacifist.

Amsterdam, Ocl. 4.-Prince Maxi
milan Of Baden has been named Ger
man imperial chancellor, according to
the zeitung Am. Mittag of Berlin.
A council meeting took place ut the
chancellors palace in Berlin, according
to advices received here. Emperor Will
liam presided and the meeting was at
tended by Field Marshal Hindenburg,
who had come to Berlin with the en-
peror. Former Chancellor Won Hert-
ling, Vice Chancellor Won Payer and
several state secretaries were in at
tendance. Prince Macmillan is heir to
the throne Of the grand duchy of Ba-
den. He was born July 10, 1867.
For some years he has been recog-
nfzed as the leader Of the Delbrueck
group Of German moderates.
Prince Macmillan, heir to the
throne Of the grand duchy Of Baden, is
man whose peace views are known
to be opposed to those of the pan-Ger-
mans. He is the recognized head of
the Delbrueck noderates and is a man
about whom the anti-militaristic ele-

effort to bring about a negotiated
peace.
Upon the fall Of Imperial Chancellor
Michaelis, November 1, 1917, he was
put forward as the moderates' candi-
date for chancellorship. His name,
however, did not go before the emper-
or as Prince Macmillan objected for
dynastic reasons.
Early in the present year Prince
Macmillan gave a semioff1cial inter
view In which he outlined his views
on Germany's peace terms. His state
ment was rude shock to the pan
Germans, In that he advocated the
abandonment Of all ideas Of conquest.
He advocated an AnglO-Saxon peace, in
the sense that the German empire must
serve as a bulwark in protecting the
western nations from the spread of
Russian bOlShevism.
Prince Maximilian's wife was for
merly Marie Louise, duchess of Bruins
wick-LunebOurg, and bears the title
of princess royal Of Great Britain and
Ireland.

Fear of disorder is rampant through
out Alsace-Lorraine not only among

line, which the American front faces
today, Is part Of the general German
defensive system beginning at Douai,
continuing south of La Fere and
thence east to the Meuse. Crossing
the Meuse, the line extends eastward
by the way Of Etain and runs across
the st. Mihiel salient to the Moselle,
which 1t reached just south of Pagny.

duced by the Americans the enemy
was forced behind this system in that
