Angora Confident Of Strength
There is complete confidence in influential cir- cles in Angora in the military strength of Turkey. A fully equipped front-line force of 1,000,000 men could be put into the field at a moment's notice.
Further preparations are in hand to ensure that 2,500,000 men shall be ready for any emer- gency.
Gen. Ismet Ineunu, the President, has avoided all publicity during the recent developments, but he is determined that Turkey shall not show the slight- est hesitation should the peace and security of this part of the world be menaced.

CZECH PILOTS TO
TRAIN GERMANS
About 700 Czech air pilots are being drafted into Germany. Al- though they are ostensibly to be employed as ground staff, it is understood that some of them are needed to instruct German air force pilots in the handling of the 1,600 Czech 'planes seized by the Reich after the annexation.
It is known that the Germans are unable to get satisfactory re- sults from these machines. Many minor incidents and at least one fatality have occurred.

BRITISH CONSUL ACCUSED
BERLIN, TO-DAY. GERMANY HAS REQUESTED BRITAIN TO RECALL THE BRI- TISH CONSUL-GENERAL AT VIENNA.
This is in reprisal for the British request for withdrawal of the Ger- man Consul at Liverpool who had relations, it is alleged by the Bri- tish Intelligence, with an Irishman named Kelly who was sentenced for espionage.
The official announcement says the "Reich Government found it- self obliged to ask the British Gov- ernment to recall the British Con- sul-General in Vienna because
on the occasion of criminal procedure it had been revealed that the Bri- tish Consulate-General in Vienna was involved in an affair regarding a prohibited news service.”
to No attempt has been made substantiate the charge against the British Consul-General at Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent Vienna,
learns in London, where the charge is regarded in official circles as being completely without justifica- tion, Reuter.
* In this connection, it may be recalled that not so very long ago, Captain T. J. Kendrick, Passport Control Officer in Vienna, was "ex- pelled." No details of any of the alleged "evidence" against him was ever produced in any British official quarters.
