TURKEY MUST
SEEK PEACE
ATHENS, May 27—While little
credence has been given to the lately
prevalent rumors that Turkoj was de
sirous of withdrawing from the un

of Russia and the allies, the announce
ment that David Pasha, former .Min
ister of Finance, and a trusted con
fidant of the Sultan, Is enroute to Ger
many for tho express purpose of in
forming the Kaiser ns to tho true sit

nation, seems to lend considerable
weight to Hie belief that Turkey is
really in desperate straits and is anx
ious to sue for peace. While the Turk
ish government continues to assert
that the enemy has made no progress,
it is dearly indicated that tlie allies
have made great progress since the
commencement of the active land cam
paign against the Dardanelles and are
all but in full possession of the western
forts. Allied submarines are also re
ported as operating in the Sea of Mar

laborers also has had the effect of
creating a still greater demand for
