OVER TURKISH RAID
LONDON, Jan. 28.—Lord Kitchner in
an interview today stated that he did
not view witli any alarm the threatened
Turkish raid upon the Suez canal One
reason he gave for this state of mind
was that the Turks were too far from
their base of supplies and could not
maintain an extended attack upon the
British forces. lie said it was absurd,
considering the forces now ready to
defend the canal, to suppose that the
' Turks could obtain possession of that
waterway within a short period of time.
Besides the large forces, which are
strongly entrenched between the Turks
and the canal, are numerous warships
patroling the canal which greatly
strengthens the land forces.
