TURKEY PROVES TOO AMBITIOUS
 FOR GERMANS Her Aggressive Territorial Aims Said to Be Cause of Alarm to the
 Kaiser. ORDERED TO CE EAS E Turkey Told to Stop Her Military Operations To- wards the Big Oil
 Fields.
ORDERED TO CEASE

AMSTERDAM, July 31.-The re- ported break between Turkey and Germany is being discussed from many angles here, and advices are being received indicating probable reasons.
 Aside from the Caucasian ques- tion, which it is said Turkey insist ed on handling according to her own ideas, it is said that the refusal of the Russan Bolsheviki to return to Turkey her Eastern boundaries as provided in the Brest Litovsk treaty between the Central Powers and Russia, is mostly responsible for the reported break.
 It is further reported here that Germany is greatly alarmed over the aggressive territorial ambitions of Turkey. It is said that Germany has ordered Turkey to cease military advances in Eastern Caucasia and the Baku region
 The latter is one of the worlds most important oil fields and the possession of it might be menaced by British control in India.
