NKW YOUK, Oct. 30. The ten
million dollar loan made by a group
of New York bunkers to the govern
ment of France, to be used by France
as a checking account against the
purchase of supplies in this country,
has ojened the way, in tho opinion of
New York bankers, for Germany and
Austria to negotiate similar loans
here with n view to having them made
available to jmv for shipments of cot
ton and other supplies from tho Unit
cd'States. Thero were indications to
day that overtures had been wade
looking townrd n loan to Germany.
As to tho amount of this loan nnd
that desired by Austria, reports var
ied. It is believed in nddition that Eng
land and Htissiu might pursue n sim
ilar course.
Tho $10,000,000 loan to Fiance is
to bo distributed among u number of
bnnks both in and out of Now York,
according to announcement made to

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. Tur
key's entrance into the field of war
like operations, though not unexpect
ed, hns created a sensation in offic
ial circles here, because of its prob
able far-reaching effect. Probably
no one factor in the great European
struggle is regarded so uncertain in
qunntity and quality us the Turkish
empire.

cutting off a vast quantity of food
supplies,' which it had Wen expected
would go to tho maintenance of the
northern European countries during
the wnr, has brought home to the of
ficials hero a realization of the close
mid intense interest of the United
Stntcs in the latest development.
The result of Turkey's uction ns
viewed by tbo military experts here
will bo to great!' embarrass Russia
at tho outset.
That tho conflict might extend to
Egypt, Pcrsin or Arabia, with the
possibility of the Japanese fleet sup
porting operations of the allies, has
been discussed here.
Cut Off Food Supply
The Greek navy, with its two Amer
ican built battleships, formerly the
Idaho and the Mississippi, which must
bo reckoned with, nro superior to tho
Turkish cruisers in armor nnd arm
ament. The policy of Greece, ns previous
ly nnnounced by Minister Schliemaiin
here, would cause Greece to cuter thfc

The full wnr strength of Turkey's
arniy is 300,000 trained men, accord
ing to statistics here, but in nddition
it is believed that thero are about
400,000 irregulars available.
SUo of Army and Navy
Tho regular army is composed of
thirteen army corps, most of which
are in Turkey in Asia. Tho infantry
is said now to bo tho strongest
branch. Tho artillery lost many of
its gnus during tho recent Balkan
war.
Turkey's nnval strength consists of
threo blattleslups, four cruisers, three
torpedo gunboats, ten destroyers, ten
torpedo boats, twenty-eight small
gunboats, a coast dofcuso ship and
some auxiliary uraft. Tlio battle
ships are old nnd nouu has guns
