TURKEYS ATTITUDE.

AGREEMENT WITH - BULGARIA

FANTASTIC REPORTS CONTRA-

DICTED.

TURKISH NEUTRALITY RE-

AFFIRMED

LONDON, Oct. 18. The Daily Telegraph's Athens correspondent states that Turkey and Bulgaria have made a binding agreement for a combined attack on Roumania if Roumania attacks Austria. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 18. Sir Edward Mallet has circularised the Consuls in Turkey denying the fantastic reports from German sources that Russians invaded Persia, and that risings had occurred in Afghanistan, India, and Egypt. He pointed out that the (German commander had closed the Dardanelles because a German-officered Turkish destroyer had been turned back by the British fleet. The British had previously notified Turkey that the destroyer was considered part of -Ahe German fleet while officered and marined by, Germans. Turkey has re-affirmed her neutrality, indicating that reports of the Goeben and Breslau fighting are untrue.
