The Turks have been willing to throw in with Greece if necessary, but had hoped It wouldn't be necessary. U Russia finally has decided to take an active part in the Macedonian situation with Germany, giving active aid to Italy, then Ankara saw itself up to the neck in the war, with dubious hopes of victory. Bulgaria's position was the greatest threat to Turkish and it was in that direction that the Turks were casting anxious eyes. That the Russian visit to Berlin might eventually have a far different outcome than that apparent on the surface was seen in many quarters as a possibility. There was believed to be little Russian sym pathy for either Italy's or Germany's aims In Europe, and historians who remember the treaty of Tilsit in Napoleonic times have long wondered whether Russia may be planning to toss her allies overboardher-at the last instant and go out for self again. straw-vote- of nwenMsans By RUTH.
