GERMANY'S DESIGNS.

TURKS DIVIDED

London, April 16.

"The Times' " Balkan correspondent says that since*the fall of Erzeroum the hostility of-'the-..Turks, to. the Germans has been increasing. The Germans reciprocate this reeling, frankly stating that they would never have taken Turkey's part but for the prospect of possessing Constantinople and Asia Minor, which would more than compensate Germany for. the loss of her African colonies. The ill-feeling between the Turks and the Germans would probably have led to a crisis, but for internecine feuds between the Turks themselves. Open rivalry exists between Talaat Bey and Enver Pasha. The former for the moment reigns supreme in Constantinople. A new plot against Enver Pasha's life was recently discovered by the Germans, and twenty persons were arrested and executed.
