TURKS TURN TO CAUCASUS.
VIII Handle situation There 1,
own Way, Says Despatch.

AMSTERDAM, July 30.-Turkey Is going
to handle the situation in the Caucasu
according to her won ideas. This is in
dlcated in a telegram from Constan-
tinople dated July 2s, which quotes an
article in the newspaper Nasdrt Ekdar
presenting the Turkish viewpoint.
I'VE have nothing to-day against the
principles laid down In the Brest :
Litovsk treaty" says the article, but
when the Caucasus. newly reorganized,
turned toward us and. master of its own
destinies. refused to be bound by the
treaty. what was more natural for us
than to take into consideration the
necessities of this new situation created
on our important eastern front? Could
we close our ears TO the appeal Of the
Government of a people largely of the
same race and same creed as ourselves?
I'VE are aware of the action and its
present progress to place under German
control Tifiis and Baku. That IL a
logical consequence OF the application
Of the .Brest- Litovsk treaty. How could
this treaty be taken into consideration
In the AFFAIRS of the Caucasus. seeing
that the Bolshevik Government has not
even been able to return to US. In ac-
eordance with the treaty. our eastern
frontier and that IN the Caucasus in
Huences entirely Independent Of the
Bolshevik Government have arisen"
