T.ONOOK, Sept. 2, 0:40 a. in. A
St. Petersburg dispatch to the Renter
Telegram company conveys a semi
official statement that in well in
formed circles in St. Petersburg the
opinion is expressed that war between
Turkey and Greece ii now only a
question of two or three days. Num
erous Turkish troop?, the, dispatch
stntcs, have landed on the shores of
Asia Minor at Smyrna, while near
Chatalja and to the east of Scutari
fortifications arc beinc feverishly
thrown up under the direction of
German officers.
General Leman Von Sanders will
command the second Ottoman army
mid Enter Bey will bo commander-in

WASHINGTON", Sept. 2. The
Turkish ambassador here said today
he was unable to confirm the report
from London that his country had
declared war on Russia. He has not
been in cable communication with his
government for days.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. State de
parUaeat official have had ao cable
xramfrom Ambassador Morgenthau
BtCeMtaatlaope for three days and
the belief prevails that cable com
mnaleatloB has been restricted.

proclamation thnnkitit; the inhnhi-j
tnnts of the eitv for their patriotism
and expressing his pleasure that Cob
lentr. had been eliiwi'ti as the first
hendquniters during the war.
The significance of the removal of
the German military headquarter
from Coblenr. to nn unknown destina
tion is difficult to estimate but the
chance Ls regarded ns hisjhlv inter
esting.
The announcement by n Paris pa
per that fourteen German staff of
ficers have been raptured and in
terned at Nimes is the first intima
tion of this incident. It may MWsibl
Imj significant, although it is not said
where the, Germans were taken pris
oners. The Russian embassy hero has
thought it desirable formally to deny
reports of Pogroms nt Vilnn. which it
attributes to German and Austrian
sources, uhe embassy has received
n dispatch from Pctiograd (St. Pe-ten-burjj)
declaring that then reports
nre without foundation nr.d that
Vilna is perfectly calm. The Chris
tian nnd Jewish populations are
working longer for the relief of the
wounded.
The Prince of Wales' relief fund
today passed the $10,000,000 mark.
