The correspondent of the Times at Candia states that Turkish troops were seen firing on the British and should this prove to be the case it will certainly mean, or should mean, that His Highness the Sultan of Turkey will have to be brought to book and answer for the lives of the British that have been sacrificed. The Turks have been allowed to have a free hand for too long and from having hitherto successfully played off one European Power against another have grown to utterly disregard everything but their own aims and ends.
