FAMOUS WAR CORRESPONDENT AND AUTHOR TO 'GO TO " THE FRONT. v FIRING LINE (By United Press.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 27. Frederick Palmer, the famous war correspondent and author, will go to the 'front with the British forces to represent the United Press and Other press associations. The British government has sanc tioned the selection of one Ameri can. TURKEY MAY BE DRAWN INTO THE WOULD SIDE WITH GERMANY AND AUSTRIA AGAINST THE ALLIES..1 TO FUTURE ACTION Washington, Aug. 27. Tension is so acute In Constantinople that diplo- m?aa Jihere, fear Turkey may. at any momentlbe'Vftwn'intdhe'gWeruT European war on the side of Ger many and Austria. A strict censorship, has been placed on newspapers in Turkey, which are now controlled by the military and are being used, according to diplo matic dispatches here, to create strong pro-German feeling. The Turkish cabinet is wavering between a declaration of war and the preservation of neutrality. Diplo matic representatives of the various powers are in constant conference with the government officials and Russia is endeavoring to keep Tur key neutral. The German ambassa dor, it is understood, has intimated that while Germany wishes Turkey to remain neutral he believed the Ottoman empire should mobilize to prevent an invasion by Russia. Feeling Is most acute over the en try into the Dardanelles of the Ger man cruisers Goeben and Breslau. Great Britain, Russia and France ten days ago requested that if these ships were purchased by Turkey the crews be sent to Germany and Austria, and promised them safe conduct. Yes terday many of the German sailors were still on board and 150 or more are said to have been distributed among Turkish torpedo boats. The British government is observ ing these incidents with much die favor and the situation has been ag gravated by the 'inability of several ungnsn merchant ships to pass through the Dardanelles and return after the Grand Vizier had given the requisite permission. Subordinate officials disobeyed the instructions in a way as yet unexplained Great Britain has let it be known that if the Goeben and Breslau enter the Mediterranean with German crews aboard, they will be fired on by the English fleet. Neither Great Britain nor Russia has assumed a threatening attitude diplomatically, hoping to persuade Turkey to remain neutral. A few days ago the Russian ambassador was requested to cease using the wireless on a Russian vessel in the harbor. He aoquiesced. Developments in Turkey were gen erally discussed yesterday in official circles. ' The Turkish ambassador here had a long conference with Sec retary Bryan, chiefly concerning an alleged statement with which Amer ican Ambassador Morganthau had been credited In some published re ports. . Later Mr. Bryan issued a statement saying the story that Mr. Morganthau had predicted a massa cre of Christians was untrue. Mr. Morganthau's recent tele grams It is understood, reported con ditions as much relieved though ,a week ago there was some aoDrehen- slon over the position the Americans might be placed In if the war. ex tended to Turkey.'
