The initial advantage ou the Black
sea apparently lies witli Turkey lu the
opening of hostilities against Kussia
according to observers. In addition to
the battle cruiser Goeben, which has
attained a speed of 27.2 knots and Is
one of the uiosi formidable craft afloat,
and the protected cruiser Breslau of a
2t).U knot record, Turkey has in the
Black sea two battleships of Dread
nought class, four pre-L>readnoughts,
two swift cruisers and numerous de
stroyers and guutuats, many of them
bought from Germany. This fleet ln
■Indes these battleships:
Reshad-i-ilninis. 23.000 tons, 2t> knots
Blrenzi Osman, 27.1KJO tons. 22 knots,
bought frum Brazil.
Khyer-ed-din Baibarossa and Torgut

others of the same type.
Two cruisers, the liamkileh and the

Russia's Black sea Iteet consists of

If Portugal lie counted. Turkey I» th
eîerenth nation to be Invotved In the
içrvat European struggle. Her partiel
pa lion has been expected for weeks,
and diplomats now «ay that Greece,
Itoumanla and Bulgaria are likely to
tie added, and possibly 'taly.
Notwithstanding the \>arulngN of (ht
fillies, It has been deemed Inevitable
that Turkey would yield to German In
juence and Join against Russia. Since
the opening of the war 000 German of
leers have arrived In Turkey, as well
)s a large quantity of munitions ot
war, Including some of the big siege
fiins. German kuus were mounted In
lie Dardanellefl forts and a German
ifflcer, Weber Pasha, placed In com
nand. All the fortifications of the
liosporus and the Asia Minor coast
lave been overhauled and mines have
)een sown In Greek waters.

If the entrance of Turkey Into the
onfllet embroils Italy and the other
Balkan states, as expected. It will
irlng 3,371,000 additional men Into bat
Ie, as well as three more navies. In
his event the line up will probably be
ti faror of the allies.
Turkey, with an army on war footing
igiired at approximately 1,000,000, and j
t navy of thirty-five warships manned
>y HI.000 men, will thus contribute
.031.000 men to the German cause.
The allies will profit to the extent

)00 men contributed as follows: Italy
-Army, 1,200.000; navy, 1H» ships man
