TURKEY’S FINANCES FAIL

STARVATION AT ADRIANOPLE. Received 1.5 a.m., 4th. Constantinople, February 3. Izzet Pasha, the Commander-in-Chiel, has a reputation of being the best strategist and tactician in the Turkish Armv. He is now at Hadernkeui, filially instructing 120,000 effectives for Chataldja. The Porte’s efforts to secure a two and a-halt million loan from the Deutsche Bank and a million elsewhere failed.
