TURKS TURN FROM
GERMANS TO ENGLISH
Britons Better Treatment of People
Creates Good Feeling.

London, Aug. 6.-An account OF the
present condition of public feeling in
Turkey has been given to the Zurich
correspondent OF the Daily News BY
a highly placed neutral who has just
arrived in Switzerland from Turkey.
According to this observer, the ac-
count Of British conduct in the occu-
pied portions OF Mesopotamia have
caused q profound change in the gen.
eral opinion among the people. They
are contrasting the British with the
Germans, much to the disadvantage OF
the Germans.
"The fact that free markets have
been opened for the peasants at Bag
dad" he said, land good roads con-
structed in the neighborhood has
caused sympathy for the British.
This counter public sentiment finds
expression in the eagerness OF many
Turks to learn English. At Constan-
tinople the students who formerly
felt 1t incumbent upon them to learn
German now study English.
1T Is doubtful II the Turks have
ever been so well disposed toward
Great Britain as they are today. 1t
is hard to exaggerate the hatred felt
for the Germans by the people. and
more particularly by the soldiers.
This discomfort against the Germans
is famed by the Turkish priests.
Reports are in circulation Of fight
ing between Turks and Bulears and
there Is overwhelming evidence that
the relations between the two govern
ments are bad"
