IN
TURKEY MOVING
SAY REPORTS
Turkey Now is Threatening
Germany, According to
Informed Diplomats.

London, Oct. 3.-The Turkish
situation was. described in well
informed diplomatic circles here
this morning 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 cOntenting
themselves with watching the un-
official developments.
The opinion is freely expressed
that definite appeal will come
from Turkey when it is forcibly
brought to her attention that
strengthen her army or check
her continued losses.
There is every indication,
many threatening Turkey as was
reported a fortnight ago when
Bulgaria was wavering, Turkey
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 pow
ers have sent large force to
Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, are
discredhted.
A diplomat familiar with Turkey
points out that it will take the
greatest pressure on Enver
Pasha, a strong pro- German, to
make peace proposals. Reports
that Turkey took up with Ger.
many the question of Turkeys
requesting peace are character
lied as Intelligent anticipation"
and evidently emanated from the
demands Turkey made for mill
tary help.
Failure to get this help which
Germany, 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
Turkey of which little or nothing
IS known here, that might result
in proposals coming at any time.
