?led to a serious crisis. I have it on
1 quite indisputable authority that a few
days ago n quarrel among th?
' officers at the front on Gallipot) I'e

i dimensions against the Germans. The

easures to quell the insurrection,

These, numbering forty-five, were
?sent to Constantinople in chair. .
where they would have been shot, but
the German commander did not feel
i himself in a strong enough position
i to do so immediately. The arrests
ciiused a great sensation throughout
| the ranks of the army and increased
j the very considerable indignation
against the Germans, who now have
few real friends, even among *he most
prominent Young Turks.
