TURKEY'S MISERY.
COMPLETE HUN DOMINATION. WHOLESALE DESERTIONS. (Received 12.40 p.m.) . LONDON, August 6. The "Daily Mail's" Zurich correspondent reports that a highly placed neutral, who has arrived from Constantinople, states that the population bitterly hates the Germans. No one doubts the genuineness of Turkey's cry for peace, but the country is so completely under Germany's domination that a separate peace is unthinkable. Britain's good government of Mesopotamia and the | establishment of free peasant markets in Bagdad have increased sympathy towards Great Britain. The Turkish army has ceased to have any serious fighting value, soldiers sharing the prevailing misery, while there are wholesale desertions.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
