THE TURKS.
A DIVISION IN THE CAMP. ESTIMATE' OF THEIR GALLIPOLI
ARMY
Paris, May 31. The Dedeagatch correspondent of Le Temps says that, after Italy's declaration of war, the Young Turks Party held a Council meeting. Enyer Pasha's attitude was severely criticised by tho majority, who declared that prolongation of the struggle promised no success. They pointed out that Turkey could r-ave'made peace a few months ago and kept Constantinople under certain conditions. They could even now have peace, and keep Smyrna. ,
JBnver Pasha interrupted the talk by declaring that the Allies will never offer acceptable terms after their enormous losses in the Dardanelles. Turkey's only salvation was to throw in her lot with Germany, whose submarines seriously embarrassed the Allies. Enver Pasha proposed to create a diversion by attacking Italy.
