FEELING IS ACUTE
Allies Are Worried Over Presence
of German Criusera in Turkish
Waters-Stay Significant
(By Associated Press.)
Washln '.on, Aug. 20.-Tension 'ls
so acute in Constantinople that diplo
mats there fear Turkoy muy at any
moment be drawn into thc general ,
I European war on the side of Germa
ny and Austria.
A strict censorship has been placed >
on newspapers in Turkey, which are
now controlled by t'/e military, and
are being used, according to diplo
matic speeches herc, to create strong
pro-German feeling.
The Turkhh cabinet is wavering
between a declaration of war and the
i preservation of ? neutrality. Diplomat- {
lc repre*' lattves' ot the various
Spowers ? in constant conference .
wi- ' ament officials, Great
K Russia endeavoring to
??.ce; ueutral. The German j
araba3a<.. it is understood, has.
intimated ?..?.. while Germany wishes
Turkey to remain neutral, hd believ
ed the Ottoman Empire should mo
bilize to prevent invasion by . RUB
Isla.
Feeling is most acute over entry (pto
.the Dardenalles o fthe German cruiB
I ers Goeb?n and Breaslau. Great Bri
1 tan, Russia and France ten days ago
requested "that if these ships were
purchased by Turkey, tnt crews be
?sent to either Germany or Austria and
, promised them safe conduct. Today
Pny-of- -the- German -asilo?? -ere-still
board and 160 or more are said, to
have been distributed among the Tur
kish torpedo boats.
The British government is observing
'these incidents-with much disfavor and
the situation has been aggravated ' by
the inability of several . English mor
I chant ships to pass through' the Dar
! dandles and return after the Grand
I Vizier had given tho requisite -ennis- j
. sion. Subordinate officials din. beyed
i the instructions In a way as yat unex
plained. -
Great Hrh urn has let it be known
that if the Goehen and Breslau enter
'the Mediterranean with German ero ?vs
aboard, they will be (ired on by the
English fleet.,
Neither Great Britain nor Russia has :
assumed a threatening attitude diplo
matically,, hoping to persuade Turkey J
to remain ueutral. A few days ago |
the Russian ambassador was request
ed to cease using the wireless on a \
Russian vessel in tho harbor. He ac
quiesced.
Developments in Turkey were gen
' orally discussed today in official ctr-;
clcs. The Turkish ambassador hero
had a long conference with Secretary i
Bryan, chiefly concerning the alleged j
statement, with which American am
bassador .Mbrganthau had been cred
ited In some published reports. Later
Mr. Bryan issued a statement saying
the story- that Mr. Morganthau had
predicted a massacre of christians was
Untrue. -
Mr. Mor RUO th au's recent telegrams, |
It is understood, reported conditions
as much relieved, though a week ago
there was some apprehension over the
position in which the Americans
might be placed if the war extended
to Turkey.
The cruiser North Carolina'will go!
to Constantinople with gold for the
Americans. Many Jews in Palestine
are destitute and an appeal has been
made to Jewish charities in America.
Temporary relief has been provided by I
Mr. Morganthau personally for the
Americans. He raised $75,000 by sub
scription, but has advised the state j
department that additional funds are 1
necessary.
