TURKISH TROOPS.
LARGE FORCE ASSEMBLED. FIFTY THOUSAND ON IRAK
BOUNDARY. LONDON, Jan. 1. Tho Daily Telegraph’s diplomatic correspondent discloses that according to tlio most reliable estimates 50,000 Turkish troops are now in the vicinity of the Irak boundary. Nevertheless, the talk at Angora is not of war, but of early negotiations. It may bo that the dispatch of a British delegation to Angora will bo invited. There appears, however, to be a general resolve to compromise. Tho formula, if it can be devised, must in no way imply tho recognition by Turkey of the League of Nations’ award. How such a formula can be found it is difficult to see, inasmuch as the concessions Britain may be prepared to offer would relate rather to financial and economic collaboration than to territorial considerations, whereby only slight rectifications are possible. The Exchange Agency’s Bagdad correspondent states that it is estimated that tho British and Irak tioops on the frontier are over 50,000. —A. and N.Z. cable.
