Turkish Resignations
LONDON, Nov. 13. The Ankara radio has announced that the Turkish Minister for War (Saffet Arikan), and the Minister for Transport, have resigned. The Ministers said their resignations would facilitate investigations into the recent loss of a Turkish steamer in the Mediterranean. The retiring ' Ministers have been succeeded by General Artekal and Admiral Engin respectively. The resignation may lead to the exposure of a scandal arising from illicit armed traffic with Germany. The Turkish steamer which is believed to have been torpedoed, is said to have carried a cargo of explosives. Some reports suggest that General Inonu, the President, may be replaced.
