The excitement VgUlnnt Germany ibe
tdriCM further w?y, has been growing,
particularly after I ?^? week's events.
The German* demanded the cruiser

possession of Turkey a* compensation
fur the Hreslatt, the former .< German
cruiser which was destroyed' in the Par-]

ment hatj reached Washington, officials
eX^itiMfl little aurpriae tonight at the
Copenhagen di Hp at eh received from Lou
don saying tliat (Jeriuany and Turkey
had several relations. in otHdal circled
bore for some time past, it baa born
realised that in her ffforta to serve both
Turkey and Bulgaria in the division of
spoils resulting from tha enforce<l peauo
treaty with ltoumanln. Oeruiany bad
incurred tfce ill will of both her allies.
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. Bulgarian resistance, it was
pointed out tonight, may De weakened
greatly in copsoqucnce of ftbe quarrel"
with Germany and ac<*>rdlrtgly an easy
northward movement fmm the Adriatic
to the Aegean Sea might he Iwoomplished
by the French, Italian and British
troops who have been making a success
ful campaign in that quarter.

Voder tlif battering tactics of the
Americans aud Frenchmen, the* Gcrmau
line on the *outh baa now been ^driven
back more than twelve miles from the
point south of Chateau-Thierry, where
the Allied troops locked the door to
forte, aggtlj.ttt tfee epemx_ July 18 ;and
| themselves became tlie aggressors in what
hfla turned out to be one of the great
est battles of the war.
'The crossing of the ()ur<j?i, ? even if
only by advanced elements of the Al
lied forces, presages a general cross
ing later on, The French official com
munication thus far during the battle
have bean remarkably conservative In
their estimates of the gains that dally
have bee* made and ' it is indicated
in unofficial dispatches that Allied
troops are considerably' in advapcc of
the line as announced officially,
"Where the Germans are in retreat
from the south the cavalry has been
brought into the fighting and numerous
tanks and machine guns in profusion
are everywhere harrying the enemy;
whose losses are heavy,
' Meantime; airplanes are flying over
the retreating hordes dropping bombs,
. while the big Allied guns from the
sides of the salient are keeping up
their intensive firing from all angles
jnto the densely congested area.
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. ' '
Evidently impressed by the threat of
the British premier that if they re
mained on strike uritfl Monday they
would he liable to military service, a
majority of the dissatisfied munitions
I workers in England will return work
i immediately.
