Oer nau Emperor’s visit to Consoantiiiople and Sofia.
Inf or. nation obtained by informant from Constantinople
and Berlin states that one of reasons for this visit was to
set :le certain differences which had arisen between Turkey
.and Bulgaria. Turkey has fdlt of late that agreement with
Central Powers regarding mutual assistance has not been
adhered to and that whereas she has not only agreed to
sacrifice territorial ambitions in Macedonia for advantage
of Bulgaria but has also riven to latter very valuable military
assistance-both in Macedonia and Dobrudia she has received
nothing by way oi comoens 'oion iron Bulgarians* Turkey
therefore demands either that she should be given military
assistance of that agreement with regard to territorial
concessions to Bulgaria should be revoked. These differences
were accentuated by the fact that Turkey is feeling a shortage
of men and is beginning to realize that it is not possiole
for her to carrv on her canroaigns without ouuside iielp in
the shape of man power.
Above information with regard to di : ferences wifi
