NO CONFIRMATION
HUN-TUR RK B BREAK
WASHINGTON WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED IF RUP-
TURE RESULTS.

Washington, July 30.-No Off
cial advices regarding the reported
breaw in relations between Turkey
and Germany have reached Wash
ington, but the government would
not surprised if Turkey has been
driven to an open rupture, as there
is well-founded background for the
report.
1t has been known for some
months that deep and growing
feeling of dissatisfaction has existed
in Turkey over the treatment by
the Germans. Reports that Turk
ish mission recently had been try
ing in Switzerland to cultivate
friendship with some of the allied
governments have been received in
Washington. 1t would be natural,
officials said, for the Turkish gov
ernmcnt to endeavor to find some
new friends among the powers be-
fore breaking with its old associates.
Anti German Forces.
When the present sultan came to
the throne in Constantinople few
weeks ago some very strong anti
Germans came into power. 1t has
been a question whether these men
were in strong enough position
openly to defy the Teutonic pow
ers. Many Turkish officials long
have resented the dominating ways
of the Germans, and have blamed
them for the lack of food and 9TH
er supplies in Turkey, as well as
the reverSes sustained by the Turk
ish army.
Germany promised assistance to
the Turks in the Palestine and
Mesopotamia campaigns where the
British have been consistently de-
feating the Turks. In neither case
has the German pledge been full
filled.
Strained relations between Tur-
key and Bulgaria, which recently
resulted in armed conflict, accord
ing to reports, have caused st-ong
anti-German feeling in both coun-
tries.
Bulgars Also Mad.
Both Turks and Bulgars feel they
did not receive fair treatment in
getting territory when the peace
with Rumania was signed. Poth
countries are said to realize that
they are being impoverished | the
Germans in an effort to provide
food for the Teutonic soldiers and
civil population.

pushed clear through the vii
lage.
THAT was the beginning of
desperate struggle which con-
tinued all day. Each side had in
turn possession of the village
until the evening, when the
Americans. with a final fury of
determination, swept the Ger
mans from the ruins and then
up the hill, broke another coun-
ter attack of the Prussian
Guards and remained victorious
on a field where the enemy's
dead actually lay in heaps.
The piles Of German dead were
all the more noticeable, the cor
respondent adds, since the
Guards came into the fight with
complete brand new equipment,
as if they had turned out for
parade before the emperor

Amsterdam. July 30.-Turkey is
going to handle the situation IN the
Caucasus according to her own
ideas. This is indicated in tele-
gram from Constntinople, dated
Iuly 2S. witch quotes an article in the
newspaper Nasfiri Ekfiar presenting
the Turkish viewpoint.
"We have nothing TO say against
the principles laid down in the
Brest-Litovsk treaty" says the ar
ticle, "but when the Caucasus, new
ly reorganized, turned toward us,
and. master OF its own destinies, re-
fused TO be bound by the treaty,
what is more natural for us than
TO take into consideration the neces-
sites OF this new situation created

Could we close our ears to the ap-
peal OF the government OF 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 Tiilis and Baku.
That is a logical consequence OF the
application of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty. How could this treaty be
taken into consideration in the al
fairs of the Caucasus, seeing that
the bolshevik government has not
even been able TO return TO MS, IN
accordance with the treaty, our
eastern frontier: and that. in the
Caucasus. influences entirely irde-
pendent OF the bolsheyiki govern
ment have arisen!
This reported attitude on the par;
OF Turkey may account in part for
the report received through CO.
penhagen that Turkey and Germany
have severed relations.
Early this month IT was reported
through Washington that Germany
was becoming alarmed over the ag-
gressive territorial tendencies of her
allies. especially Turkey. Several
weeks earlier, it had been reported
that Germany had ordered Turkey
to stop her advance in the eastern

LIGHT ARTILLERY ON TAZE-
WELL AVENUE.

The slumbers of citizens on TnZe-
well avenue were disturbed few
nights ago by what seemed an en-
gagement of field artillery, so loud
ly did it break the stiffness of the
night mir. The reverberations and
echoes gave samblance Of repeated,
rapid fire guns. An investigation
next morning revealed the cause OF
the night attack. A certain citizen
of that community was aroused and
disturbed by n rowing dog prowling
about the premises and opened on
the intruder. Result: the said dog
went over the back fence without
touching, and when last seen was
still running, and may be running
yet. The man who did the lombard
ing was threatened with arrest next
morning, not for shooting at the dog,
but for not killing him, or at least
winging him.
