(A. P.) Tho report from Constantinople that tho Turks aro calling further troops to tho colors and the announcement In London that tho Britlnh will maintain a atroner fleet In Near Eastern waters for tho next few weeks, are explained In official British quarters as being only a coincidence and as having no significance. ; As far as the fleet Is concerned, It is only engaging In maneuvers, the officials say. Official spokesmen point out that tho Turkish -move is nothing to cause uneasiness, but is merely in accordance with Turkish military policy for safeguarding tho fron tiers. Unofficial 'observers, however, ex press the opinion that the Turks, In calling up four classes to tho col6rs are making a gesture possibly a bluff with the Idea of getting a favorable settlement ot tho Mosul question. Theso observers also ex press tho belief that tho Hrltlsh fleet maneuvers In enstrrn Mediterranean waters may not bo unconnected with a desire to ''cull" tho Turkish hand. All quarters In Iondon, however, agree thut there Is no danger of a clash of arms. LONDON, Oct. 1. (A. P.)
