TURKS KEPT WAR
EXPENSES DOWN
Their Bonded Indebtedness
Was Increased Only by
One New Loan
Constantinople, I>ec. 3.—The war
debt of the Ottoman Empire is said
by experts to have increased less
than that of any other nation. Her
bonded indebtedness was increased
by only one new loan of about SBO,-
000,000, and, adding to this other
increases in obligations such as
home military requisitions and ad
vances from Austria and Germany,
her war expenses ran to only $600,-
000,000. Consequently, allowing for
various offsets, her postwar indebt
edness amounts to about $1,000,300-
°°Thls would make it appear that
Turkey "ran the war on a
shoe string," financially, as com
pared to Great Britain with her $40,-
000,000,000 war debt, or France
with $25,000,000,000 and Italy with
possibly $15,000,000,000. It_wiU be
recalled that on paper the Ottoman
Empire mobilized nearly 4.000,000
men, yet she escaped with some
thing like the war expenses of a
country like little Rumania or Bui
garia.
Record Is Unique.
The record of the Turkish wai
indebtedness is unique. The Em
pire met war costs by requisitions
and by printing in Germany 150,-
000,000 Turkish paper pounds, or,
normally about $680.00 C,OOO but
this, according to the experts, can
not be considered a government lia- i
bility.
It is not a financial burden as it (
bears no interest, and also the pro- •
per administrative body of the
Peace Conference can at will have it,
cancelled. . '
Turkey's papcr money, it is claim- |
ed has not depreciated as much as (
that of her Allies. Counterfeiters
do not seem to have operated here j
extensively due, to the lack of Bol
shevism and good printing presses.]
In Mesopotamia Turkish P"-P e l r ,
money is refused since the British
occupation, which the* Turks do not
consider fair since the paper money
was issued for the whole of the Ot
toman Empire which made war as
a whole.
The amount of Turkey s war re
paration is yet to be determined.
Jews Celebrate For
the British Attitude
Toward Palestine j
TiOiidon, Dec. 3.—Two years ago
the British government issued a
declaration of policy in favor of the
establishment of a Jewish national
home in Palestine, and a Zionist
meeting has just been held- tocele
brate the anniversary. Baron
Rothschild presided and read a
letter from Eord Curzon, the For
eign Minister, giving assurance
that there had been no change in
the government's policy.
Lord Rothschild said that they
were much nearer their goal than
before, and he felt sure that they
would yet see the establishment of
their desired home, because it was
the will of an overwhelming num
ber of their Jewish brethren and
was also the desire of the rest of
the world. *
The meeting adopted a resolution,
moved by Herbert Samuel, member
of Parliament, reaffirming "the un
shakable will of the Jewish people
to re-establish their national home
in Palestine."
American Red Cross
Workers in England
to Return to U. S.
"London. Dec. 3.—The American
Commission for Great Britain and
Ireland, which has carried on the
American Red Cross work in Eng
land during the war, is finishing its
labors and planning to return to
America.
In future the organization's inter
ests in this country will be looked
after by the London Chapter of the
society of which the American Am
bassador, John W. Davis is honorary
president, Vicountess Harcourt,
chairman, and lAwrence L. Tweedy
honorary secretary.
The London Chapter is trying to
enroll every American in England.
Would Exchange German
Potash For American CoaL
Berlin, Dec. 3..—The German
Potash Syndicate is negotiating with
America again, says the North Ger
man Gazette which believes it will
be able to reach an agreement in
regard to the exchange of potash for
American coal.
Negotiations took place between
the Germans and Americans last
spring but failed, says the paper,
because America still thought it
could rely on its own substitute for
potash and refused the German of
fers, whereupon Germany sold her
output, which was intended for the
United States, to Sweden.
Negotiations, says the Berlin pa
per, have now been resumed to
enable the German potash mines, of
which 120 are crippled through
lack of coal while others have only
25 per cent enough fuel, to buy
American coal with dollars and re
coup by selling potash to America at
dollar rates.
Other negotiations are also under
way between Germany and Holland
for milk and dairy products in ex
change for potash.
Many German Officers
in Ukranian Army
London, Dec. 3.—A Denikine wire
less message received here states
that Increasing numbers of German
officers are being enrolled in the Uk
ranian army. It gives an extract
from General Petlura's newspaper
which states that owing to the scar
city of officers the Petlura (Ukrain
ian) government has been obliged to
hand over the command to German
officers. "This will immediately pro
vide us," says Petlura's journal,
"with excellent specialists of ail
kinds, and a magnificent cadre for
the Ukranian army consisting of 2,-
000 German officers. Only this meas
ure can defend the Ukraine against
their Polish and Russian enemies."
