BERLIN, Dec. 21. via London.
"Turkey Jinn nn nbundance of foods
nnd other mntorial of nil kinds which
sho can supply to Germany if Ger
many needs them," said Dr. Nazim
Hey, secretin of the Young Turks
committee nnd ono of Turkey's most
prominent men, in n stntement to the
Associuted Press on his nrrival in
Berlin today. "It is only n question
of transportntion, which seems to be
in n fair way of solution.
"There is no lack of anything in
Turkey. For example, wo have 30,
000,000 kilocnuns of 'cotton which
Gcnnnny enn havo tho moment she
solves tho transportation problem, not

"The same is true of copper. Of
this we havo at least -10,000,000 kilo
grams which Germany can havo nt

lYodlcts Victory
Because of tho abundanco of the
necessaries and of tho progress of
military affairs nt this time, Dr. Na
zin Bey predicts eventual victory for
the central powers. Ho is certain
Gennany will find n wny to effect
transportation communication with
Turkey in u short tunc.
"Such u success will mean inde
pendence for Turkey, for tbo first
time," ho continued. "Tiiero is much
lejioL.penqo propaganda in Turkey
today than unywhoro else. Yon must
remember that for deendes there hns
hardly been peace for ten consecutive
yenrs with us, nnd accordingly wo nro
accustomed to conflicts. We reason
that the present conflict will last
from one to two years more, but wo
aro renllv indifferent us to the dura
tion of tho war. In any event Tur
key will be tho last to call a halt.
Turkey UntliiLshiMlo
"Turkey is enthusiastic for a num
ber of reasons. First, she had never
fought previously under such favor
able conditions; second, the thought
of oentunl independence stimulates
tho troops tremendously; third, the
soldierH are spurred on by hatred of
their enemies. This hatred is engen
dered by illegal nets. The Turks re
gard the allies as real hatbariaiis, and
when captured in n wounded condi
tion frequently refuso food, or drink
from their captors, though when con
ditions nro reversed the Turks give
their prisoners freely of their food."
Dr. Nazim Bey spoke calmly except
when the subject of tho world's im
pression of Turkish-Armenian rela
tions was brought up. Of this he
talked in hitter words, America in
particular, he said, hud gained n false
impression in two ways. First, in
vestigators of conditions had not been
neutral or unbiased; second, those
invosiigntors went to lite wrong
sources for their information to
Greeks, Jews and Armenians, who nro
Turkish subjects and have grudges to
air.
"Every time a Turk does something
praiseworthy in this world he is hail
ed ns nn Armenian," he continued,
"but every time he commits a crime
or nets basely he is a Turk."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Full sot

American victims, which it beenmo
known today, recently wns near, has
been postponed by tho dismissal of
tho Gentian naval nnd military at
taches and the Amerienn actnnnds on
Austria-Hungary ns u result of tho
sinking of tho Auconu.
Consideration of tho state of pub
lic opinion in Gormnny because of
these two nets of the Amerienn gov

ficials in llorlin to decide thnt such
n settlement ns might bo satisfactory
to the United Stntes would not now
meet with popular npprovnl in Ger

An agreement, it was said, was
practically reached soon after tho
American noto to Grcnt Britain pro
testing ngainst interference with neu
tral trade linn? been published in Ger
miiiiy. The Amerienn note, it is snid,
created n reninrknblo pro-Amerienn
sentiment in Berlin us well ns
throughout Germany. At that time,
it is said, public opinion would hnvo
approved receding a bit, innking n,
settlement of tho controversy pos

Lansing nnd Count .Von Demstorff,
tho German ambassador, woro pro
grossing when tho United States de

Thnt net, according to officials

To rcccdo even n trifle nt this
