There are indications in official circles that the government may now change its l attitude as to what is to be regarded ' hereafter as constituting an armed | merchantman. The question is now | being seriously considered whether a merchant vessel ought to have com- plete immunity if it mounts a six-inch gun in the stern. A weapon of this size is capable of sinking a subma- rine, and it is argued in some quar- ters that the presence of such a gun on a passenger ship might prove not only a temptation to the officers for | resisting a submarine, but that even ! merchant vessel of immunity, but it : vice in the army. | thousand men to the forces in the field | | was announced here today.

It is not contended that the mere presence of a gun that is not used against a sub- marine can be regarded as forcible resistance such as would strip the is being seriously considered whether a vessel that assumes to proceed on an innocent voyage can be regarded as having the same status as a mer- chant vessel that carries no guns. out, however, that there are mitigat- ing circumstances. The articles say that after all there had been no reai understanding between Germany and Turkey before this war. What good relations had existed had been foster- ed almost exclusively by Emperor William and and Sultan Abdul Ha- mid. With the advent of constitu- tional government and the ending of | the Mamidian regime, these relations had ceased, of course, and the efforts of the late Baron Marschall von Bie- berstein to effect an understanding between the new regime in Turkey and Germany, while not unsuccessful, had, nevertheless, not been brought to fruition, Had French Leanings. On the other hand, the say, it was a fact that in the past the Turkish people had leaned decidedly towards France and England, a ten- dency which had not favored closer relations with Germany and Austria Hungary- But the present war had shown that Turkey had had no friends anywhere in the past. Germany and articles | Alstria-Hungary had made no | pendent, said the articles, but for the great pretense that they were Turkey's friends, and France and England, who had avowed warmest friendship for Turkey had since then been prov- en to be anything but that by belns willing to leave Turkey at the mercy of Russia, if doing that would have serve the interests of the two Enten- te governments- With the friendship of France and England disproven, and with that of Germany and Austria-Hungary at least based on a community of in- terests which woeuld be bound to en- dure beyond this war, Turkey was of necessity obliged to ally herself more closely yet with Germany and the Danube Monarchy, by means of a series of commercial treaties which would be advantageous to all con- cerned. 'Turkey hoped sooner or later to become economically inde- time being it was far from having reached this happy state, and wouid have to overcome the lack of its ad- vantages by reciprocal arrangements with Germany and Austria-Hungary under which the equitable exchange of Ottoman agricultural products for German and Austrian factory pro- ducts would be possible, Commercial Treatics. Premature as such measures may appear in the entente countries, it is | a fact, nevertheless, that Turkish statesmen have for some time occu- pied themselves seriously with the making of suitable commercial treat- ies with the German and Austrian governments. 1In some quarters the opinion is held that this has been | done because at present it might be possible to secure terms which later on would be barder to obtain. At any rate, say others, the activity dis played by the Turkish ministers augurs well for the future of Turkey, | because it shows that the desire to care for the future has for once been felt by those responsible for the fate of the Ottoman empire: Needless to say, economic ap- | proachments now effected between ! Turkey, Germany and Austria-Hun- gary, would leave little for France, England, Italy and all others.
