THE DARDANELLES.
CONDITIONS IN CONSTANTINOPLE
POPULACE HOSTILE TO GERMANS
(Received July 28, 12.20 p.m.)
COPENHAGEN, July 27
An employee of a salvage company, who has just returned from Constantinople, where ho was repairing warships, states that the Turks are at their wits' end for fuel and ammunition. All old warships have been stripped of useful metals, and a house-to-house search has been instituted for the same purpose. He says that Turkish feeling against the Germans is increasingly bitter. There was a big light, in the Constantinople infantry barracks a fortnight ago, when 10 Germans were killed and 14 wounded. •
The attitude of the population is dangerously hostile, ,and they will undoubtedly rise against the Germans at the first opportunity. The authorities are consequently confiscating arms wholesale.
Gunners from the Dardanelles forts state that. only a limited number of shells is allowed each gun daily.
