Berlin, April 4. Herr Jagow, in the Reichstag, explained that the Balkan League originally contemplated the inclusion of Turkey, but to this the Porte was averse. Germany stood steadfastly on Austria’s side throughout the Albanian negotiations, at the same time striving to promote the fulfilment of Roumania’s desires.
