Show POWERS DIVIDED ON ' TURKISH QUESTION Only Two Governments Supporting England's Contention About the Dardanelles. CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. 7. Great Britain's protest against the permission granted in September last to four unarmed un-armed Russian torpedo-boat destroyers to pass through the Dardanelles into the Black sea, under the commercial flag of Russia, will, It is believed, be followed by similar action on the part of Austria- Hungary and Italy, while Germany and France will remain aloof. Germany's position Is in consonance with her traditional tra-ditional policy not to embarrass the Porte, while France naturally abstains from acting against the Interests of her ally, Russia. |
