THE ORIENT.
THE GERMAN GRIP ON TURKEY. DISAFFECTION PARAMOUNT. TRANSPORT OF SUPPLIES. Received Sept. 27, 5.5 p.m. (Time 9 and Sydney Sun Services.) London, Sept. 20. The Times' correspondent at Salonika reports that an uninterrupted service of trains is running between Constantinople and Bulgaria. This is, causing surprise, in view of the admitted scarcity of coal in Turkey. By this line troop's and supplies are carried as far as Uzunkupru, and the last journey is done by road. A returned traveller states that occasional cargoes of coal continue to reach Constantinople from the Black Sea. The Young Turks threaten Constantinople, and guns keep the disaffected population in awe. Throughout the Empire things have come to such a •p&aa, through hunger, oppression, and outraged religious feelings, that a general uprising would follow the slightest relaxation of the German grip on the country.
