(Special to The Guardian) LONDON. July Sli.-Severance of relations betwebu Germany and Tur- key is reported in a despatch which quotes the Copenhagen correspondent oi tlie Exchange Telegraph Company. No confirmation ot this startling news has been received from any other quarter. At first thought it seems in credible for the Turkish government, the Turkish army and every other weapon of warfare as the Germans wage it has been under the complete control and personal direction of the Teutone. Three considerations., though, might lend possibility to the GERMANS RELATIONS? Severance of Relations Germany has turned a deaf and Impudent ear to 'I`urkey’s calls for help to check the British in Palestine and Mesvilotumla, especially since the fall of Jerusalem on December 10th last. The astute Turk has received sufficient news this year to convince him that the Central Powers are ‘lghting a losing battle, and no doubt Coiistantinople has heard of Allied in- tervention in northern Russia and in Siberia with the certain re-establish ment of the eastern front. Any dis- cussion, however, oi' the effect of a break between Germany and her east- ern ally'ls idle until more authentic report. news Is' received. .-_-_ , _'_' :_ .‘::::: *¢»=--.*.~:V,~, .-.~.~.». .-:_-;-_-_-_~_-;_ _ _ _-_~:_-_-_ _-_-_-,-_-,»,».-_-.-,_ _-_-_~_-_-_-_A_-_».»_-_-.- A ,- » -_~_~, ,~.-E.
