Petrograd —A study of the Turkish movements since the entrance of Tur key into the European conflict has convinced Russian military experts that the Sultan's army has already profited by its German training. The Turks in former wars proved themselves good soldiers —powerful in physique and endurance, animated by a high morale and spirit of courage and temperamentally lacking in sen sitiveness to defeat and disaster which is likely to shake the spirit of the more highly strung western armies. If upon this foundation could be grafted the technical cunning and organiza tion of the Germans, it has been grant ed that the result would be a formid able one but it has been thought doubt ful whether a short period of school ing in the German system could sup ply the strategical ability, the precis ion in detail and the general tactical knowledge in which they have been , deficient. Fruit Borne. But reports from the Turkish bor der, and comment by mili tary authorities here prove that the new Turkish regime under German direction, already has borne fruit, in their equipment, their organization and in their general defensive maneu vres, to meet the Russian invasion they have shown that they are bins guided by German ideas. On November 8, at Kapri-Kei, the Turks withdrew from a strong posi tion before the defeat or exhaustion of their forces but almost immediately returned to the attack. This took place 30 miles from a heavily fortified line of trenches and forts upon which the Turks formerly would have fallen back. Before they absorbed the German tac tics of a sharp counter attack as being the best weapon of defense, they re lied wholly upon their defensive po sition. Counter Attacks. But in this case the Russiap ad vance was met by a series of sharp counter attacks, quite unlike anything the Turks had over exhibited before. The same tactics have been observed in other engagements between the Russian and Turkish troops, plainly showing that the Turks have as similated their German training. Fur ther evidence of the German influence has been noted in the commissary trains captured from the army in Asia Minor. They reveal not only a great er variety of stores than the Turks have carried in the past but a German method of packing and a general at tention to details unknown in the Turkish army in the past. On the Turkish prisoners, too, has been found as complete equipment and field ac coutrements as carried by the German soldiers themselves. ENGLISHMEN INTERNED AT RUHLEBEN TRY TO LIVE COMFORTABLY Berlin.—English civilians who have been interned in a concentration camp at Ruhleben, in retaliation for similar action in England are trying to make life comfortable. They have formed their own organ izations, with a captain for each of the eight barracks and a general com mander of the whole camp. The lat ter was one of the leading English merchants of Berlin. The men are housed in the emigrant station at Ruhleben. One complaint of the prisoners is that their allowance of meat is too short. Persons who have visited the prisoners in behalf of the American embassy, which is looking after the interests of British subjects during the war have learned from them that the food served is of good quality. There is a restaurant at which the prisoners can order meals. When the concessionaire heard that numbers of rich Englishmen were to become his customers in place of Russian emi grants, he marked up prices sharply, but the prisoners made representa tions to the German commander of the camp and prices have been reduc ed. The captains of the various bar racks say they are treated with con sideration.
