Tho Turkish mlaalon recently re ported In Switzerland, was trying to cultivate the friendship of some of the allied governments. Very strong antl-Germana came Into jtower with the new Sultan a few woeks ago and many Turkish officials blame Ger many tor the lack of food and other supplies and failure of Turkish irm.

Despite Turkey's proteat the Hamldleh has departed for Sebastopol with the Gorman flag flying. Announcement was made In the relchstag on June 8th that differ ences had arisen between Bulgaria and Turkey over the division . of lands taken from "Rumania under the peace agreement with the cen tral powers. The announcement was made by Or. von Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary who added that the question was of a dif ference of opinion between two of Germany's allies, to whom Germany REVIEW OF FOURTH (Continued from ,"Kour Principle" Knunclnted To these replies there was a re- Joiner by President Wilson, who on February 11, again addressing congress, laid down what have come to be known as the "Four Princi ples" upon which peace can , be based. Briefly, these principles were: Final settlement must be based on essontlal Justice. Peoples and provinces are not to he bartered about like'chnttels. Every territorial settlemo.nt must bo for the benefit and In the Inter est of the populations concerned. " All well-defined national aspira tion shall be mot with, tho utmost satisfaction consistent with the fit-, tore peace.

The Cologne Giuutte early in June asaertud that the differenoes between Turkey and Bulgaria Involved cer tain danger that the "work of har mony achieved by the central pow er at Bucharest may sever." The newspaper added that both Bulgaria and Turkey were clalmln Ger many's full support In their respec tive Interests. The north German Allgemeln Zeltung, the semi-official government organ, however, declar ed that the dispute over DobrdJa was one on which Turkey and Bul garia would have to come to an agreement and that Germany could only express herself reservedly on the matter It Germany - was not to assume heavy responalbllitles for tho future.

Taleat Pasha, the Turklah grand vizier, replying to deputations from the Turkish - navy league, which pointed ott that Turkey had an In- comestible right to the fleet, said negotiations were , proceeding be tween Gormany and Russia for the handing over of the fleet to Ger many, but that the Turkish govern ment had taken energetic action with-a view to acquiring It.
