ISTANBUL, Turkey. Oct. 21.-The
Turkish press reiterated today its
previous challenges to Germany's
ambitions in Southeastern Europe
and also commented bitterly on Bull
garia's attitude as allegedly reflected
in Sofia newspapers.
Turkey wants peace, said an edi-
torial in Yeni Sabah, but a bitter
struggle is preferred to peace

The editorial criticized an edi-
torial in the Sofia newspaper Mir

German victory is inevitable and
urged that small nations capituIate
without resistance.
Mir suggests such a common,
humble. low course that it dishon-
ors the Bulgarian pride and pa
triotism we have learned to know ="
Yeni Sabah continued. There is
no Turk who would not agree with
Hitler that people who DO not defend
their country's independence with
all vigor should be looked down
upon.

Reported Starting

HoIf-MiIIion Troops

DordoneIIes Region
3, the Associated Press.


BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 21.-
Reports that Soviet Russian Turkish
military talks had been instituted
and that Turkish military prepara-
ton was increasing along the
strategic Dardanelles-gateway to
the Near East-were heard today
in the Balkans.
At the same time, Rumania in
augurated a blackout for Bucharest
and the nearby oil fields.
Travellers from Turkey said in
Athens that railway lines to
Adrianople, a Turkish city in ter
ritory wedged between the Bull
garian and Greek borders, were
jammed with troop trains, while
half million Turkish troops were
said to be already in the region
OF the Dardanelles.
i New Fortifications Reported.
A rumor that Soviet Turkish
military talks were under way in
Adrianople was carried by the
Budapest newspaper, Magyar Mem
zet. while other unconirmed re-
ports said the Turks were building
new Notifications and communica-
tions.
The Turkish press, predicting the
axis would attempt its next push
in the Near East, played up British
manehvers to counter such a drive.
Bucharest, the once-gay capital
OF Rumania, and the rich Ploesti
oil fields nearby were blacked out
at midnight last night under new
regulations.
Called Disciplinary Measure.
Although the regulations were
announced not long after a British
news broadcast mentioned that Ru-
mania's vital oil fields were within
easy bombing reach of Greece-an
ally of Bitain-foreign observers
regarded the blackout as more of a
disciplinary" measure, designed to
impress the Rumanian populace
with the necessity of German mil
itary occupation as claimed by the
Nazis.
Despite warlike talk. however
most Balkan observers felt it un-
likely that an axis campaign was
in the offing, but that only strong
diplomatic action could be expected
for the time being.
