After the conclusion of the peace treaty with itoumania at Jassy, both Tttrk?^-*H*t~-Bolgaria-4*i4^ -claim tu | much of the territory which Itoumahia bad been forced, to cede to ber enemies. Included in these claims' was the title to the railway r mining fjoBL Adri fan ople to ])eadeagateb, and, this became the source of the greatest contest betiveen the ? two allied nations,. ? Germany for some time endeavored to induce the two countries to settle this dispute amicably by suggesting that the nation which fail ed to obtain the railroad should receive compensation. , Belief in Turkey that favoritism was being shown ' Bulgaria by Germany in.| the negotiations, according to recent dispatcheH received here, caused a rapid growth of anti-Germ an feeling in Con stantinople. A shortage of- food, weari ness of the war and dissatisfaction with the Young Turk party because of its submission to German control recentij found expression in Constantinople in food riots and mutinous uprisings which* have been sternly suppressed by-fbe mil itary authorities. That Turkey bas become more and ' more weary of the war was indicated in the failure of the latest Turkish loan1 in June. According to Swift* dispatches only 12.000,000 pouuds was obtained out of '12,000,000 pounds eought. 1 However, there was considerable doubt! in the minds of odlcials here whether | severance of relations even if actually brought about would be permanent. It is believed that Germany calling upon her allies, Bulgaria ayd Austria, to as sist her will undertake to -leal sternly With Turkey, and througfi the thousands . <?f Gerttan agents scattered through the country will seek to displace the Young, lurk pbrty and install some, faction which can be depended ou to obey the mandates of th<T central powers. , It was tilso poiirted out that tbe.| Turkish army is officered almoBt en-] tirely by Germans and that while the Turkish diplomatic authorities might relations with Germany, the, army would remain thoroughly Gsrman, Al though reports have been received that the Constantinople police syittem is per meated thoroughly with German influence making possible the continuation of the ? spread of German propaganda among the Turkish people. If the 4 'openhageu report Should prove true the. military situation may he J linally affected in the interest of the entente.

The retreat of the enem.v has by no means become a rout, and so long as the picked troops around Soissons and Itheims are able ' to keep well open the mouth of the bag through which the 'Germans, arc falling bade, it is expected that the greater portion of the armies of the Crown Prince will be successful in reaching in order the line where it is intended for them to turn atad make a stand. Just where' this stand will be made is problematical. More than half the pocket has been recaptured by j the American, French, British and Italian troops opposing th$ enemy, and there have as yet .been "no signs of n Jet up in the retrograde movement. If, ps some of the military critics have sug gested, Crown Prince Rupprecht, of -Ba varia, purposes to sturt an offensive against the British in France and Flan ders, as a diversion against the big battle now In progress, no signs of it are apparent at present. What little I fighting has been going on in this re gion has been in the nature of patrol raids in which the British have taken l a number of prisoners and machine guns.
