GERMAN MENACE DISCUSSED
Turkish Newspapers BLOCKADE AIM FROM GREEK ISLANDS
Resistance To Demands
(Received April 28, 9.15 p.m.) ANKARA, April 28.
It is again reliably reported that the Germans have occupied the Greek islands of Mytilene and Chios, both of which are only a few miles off the Turkish coast, presumably by plane and parachute. Chios has been a landing place for British and foreign refugees in all sorts of craft from Greece. Turkish newspapers today for the first time are openly discussing the German menace, especially the threat inherent in the occupation of the Aegean islands. The “Ikdam” says: “The British used Lemnos in the last war to cut off the Dardanelles and threaten Turkey, and there is a great resemblance in the German occupation. The Germans will use torpedo-boats to cut off Britain and Turkey.” The “Vatan,” discussing prospective German demands says: “There will be no compromise and no yielding, but resistance to all demands. Our Government is prepared to accept even the smallest demands as a declaration of war.”
