TURKS DESPERATE
Washington Officials of Belief That Situation In This Country Is
 Desperate.

Washington, Oct. 10.--The non-ap pearance of the Turkish peace note, reported to have been sent simultan- eously with that of Germany and Austria, and the report from London and Paris of impending here that the situation in Turkey is desperate.
 It is believed by officials in touch with Turkish affairs that the pro- German government faces utter col lapse if indeed that has not already taken place and that the new govern ment will make direct appeal to the allies for peace at any price.
 It is known that Tewfik Pasha, the new premier, opposed Turkeys en- trance in the war on the side of the Central Powers. It also is thought possible that he stopped the note re- ported to have been addressed to the United States, about the time of his appointment, so that he could make direct appeal of his own.
 The state department has heard un- officially that representatives of the various factions in Turkey already have appealed to officials of the al lied government at Saloniki, promis- ing to accept unconditional terms.
