GERMANS FLEEING
OUT OF BULGARIA


tain communication with Turkey by way
or Odessa and the Black Sea.
There are indications that powerful
Turkish influences are working inde-
pendently of the Government in putting
forward suggestions with view to
peace. An indication of the turmoil ex-
listing in Turkish Government circles Is
found to-day in the report that the
Turkish Minister OF the Interior had re-
signed. In the meantime Turkey Is
Withdrawing the greater part Of her
forces from the Caucasus for the pro-
lection Of Constantinople.
To keep Turkey in the war the Cen
trail Powers will have to reinforce her.
which they can do through the control Of
the Black Sea II is possible to send
troops from Odessa to Constan tinople in
forty-eight hours. The only troops
available for this purpose. however. are
those in Russia, amounting approximate
ly to thirty-four German and thirteen
Austrian divisions. composed of inferior
fighting men.
The diversion Of these troops to Tur-
key would mean the abandonment of
practically all Of Germany's gains based
on the Brest Litovsk treaty. and II is
considered extremely doubtful that Ger
many will sacrifice her ambitions in
Russia for the sale Of helping Turkey
unless she Is convinced that such action
is imperative not only to retain Turkey
in line but also to prevent Rumania
from rejoining the Allies.
The success or failure OF Germany's
efforts to retain Turkey and keep her
foothold in the Near East will be meas
ured by how far she will be able to in
terpose a barrier to the allied advance
on the Austrian frontier and keep open
the communications to Turkey.

clared that Turkey would hold out 10

for their felony, especially toward Eng

constant anarchy in the Balkans.
whereas a great Serbia would result in
peace.

the reorganization OF th5 Government
under the leadership OF FRINGE Maxi

conference at which this step was taken
the speakers praised the efforts alleged

plan to democratize Germany with the
appearance Of sincerity Deputies Groe-
Der, Centrist, and Philip Sche.demann,
leader OF the Majority Social Democrats,
have been appointed Secretaries OF State
without portfolios.
One OF the first moves OF the Socialists
after their apparent recognition by the
Government was to send a delegate 10
Geneva with documents saying that the
German minority Socialists favored the
restitution of Alsace-Lorraine to France,
provided a plebesoite is first held. This
delegate IL reported to have declared
that the policy of the German Govern
mcnt would be entirely different now
that the Socialists are to participate in
the Government. The envoy is said TO
be attempting 10 get in touch with French
Socialists In order TO deliver his message

Deputy Groeber frequently has criti-
clsed the Government. but in March he
defended Germany's method OF making
peace at Brest- Litovsk. Deputy Scheide-

The splendid liaison that marked the

To this was added the fact that the
