AXIS INVASION OF TURKEY
FURTHER HINTS GIVEN London, Sept., 12. | A message from Rome hints at the possibility of an invasion of Turkey i by the Axis. This is slated by the i Geneva correspondent of the “Daily,' Mail,” who says the message was pass- ] ed by the Italian censor. It adds that the Russian resistance j 'was as great a surprise to the Germans as to the rest of the world and that their terrific effort will necessitate ai long pause throughout the winter.' Transport of petrol has proved infinitely more difficult for the Germans across Russia than across any other' part of the front. The only alternative! is a new drive across Turkey. The > Italians must guard against any il-i lusion of an early end to the eastern war, concludes the Rome message.— U.P.A.
