ASIA MINOR.
GERMAN GENERAL’S VIEWS. OF TURKISH PROSPECTS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Berlin, June 15. General von Sanders, in an article in the Vossiche Zeitung, estimates Kemal Pasha’s army at Angora at 100,000, and says that it is continually growing and its artillery largely increased by French guns captured by the Soviet armies from Deniken and Wrangel, which have reached Anatolia. The Nationalists hope to establish a sort of United States of Islam, with Turkey as leader. It cannot be believed that England can be of any possible aid to Greece in ending Kemal’s empire. Kemal has protected himself by establishing a group of commands to prevent a landing from the Bl7ck Sea, and the memory of Gallipoli is not calculated to encourage a similar attempt, and a sea blockade would be useless.—Aus.-NJZ. Cable Assn. [General von Sanders organised the Turkish forces before the war and directed the defence of Gallipoli. He is not likely to minimise the prospects of the Turks.]
