ANY German attack on Turkey
which would throw Turkey into the
war against the Germans would
percipitate a serious crisis for the
Nazis throughout the Balkans, per-
sons arriving from Sofia asserted
today.
Travellers from Sofia and other
Balkan points asserted that the vast
majority of the Rumanian people
opposed the war against Russia and
others said that the Bulgarian gov
ernment faced grave problem be-
cause of the growing sympathy of
the masses of Bulgarians for Soviet
Russia and the Slav cause.
Opinion was expressed that If
Turkey entered the war against
Germany the German cause might
suffer death blow in the Balkans
where Slav elements everywhere
were reported restive.

New Nazi Troops
Menace Turkey On
Bulgarian Frontier

ANKARA, Turkey, Aug. 81 up
Authentic information that fresh
German troops and air force units
had arrived in Bulgaria caused sud-
den anxiety here today over the
possibility that Germany intended
to demand facilities for passage of
troops across Turkey and was pre-
pared TO move them by force if nee
eSSary.
News of the troop arrivals came
simultaneously with reports of in
tensified italian activity in Thrace,
bordering on Turkey, and the Ae-
gean islands adjacent to the Turk
ish coast.
CIhe Ankara dispatch mentioned
fresh troops. German troop move
ments into Bulgaria recently caused
alarm in Turkey until it developed
that the troops were being sent
there from the Russian front for

Diplomatic and Turkish quarters
took the new reports seriously be-
cause they said other developments
supported the possibility of a Ger
man demand on Turkey for troop
facilities for an attack on the Rus
sian Caucasus, on the British in

One development was the in
creasing likelihood that the Ger
man campaign against Russia would
go into the winter months without
decision.

Russian air raids on Rumanian
oil fields and pipe lines have caus-
ed tremendous damage and loss of
petroleum products. arrivals here
today from the much-bombed Ru-
manian oil port of Constanta re-
ported.
Travellers said that during a re-
cent Russian bombardment of the
Cernavoda bridge, about halfway
between Constanta and Bucharest,
important pipe lines were hit in
two places, causing fires which
blazed for hours.
Bursting bombs twisted steel rails
into scrap iron, the arrivals said.
The bombardment of the Cerna-
voda bridge, the only railroad brigde
over the Danube below Belgrade,
and of the pipe line which crossed
it, was reported to have cut off d
sure supply of aviation gasoline
needed by Germany for Tie cam
paign against Russia.
Great damage was said to have
been done to oil supplies in Con-
stanta itself. When the Russo Ger
man war broke out, travellers said,
every oil reservoir in Canstanta
was filled to overflowing with Pc
troleum products for export to Rus
sia and Turkey.
Getting out of Canstanta what
oil was not destroyed in lombard

been made impossible by the cutting
