Germany Fears Her Position as Advising Friend to Turkey and Italy Will Be Delicate One. Berlin, Sept, 2G. The German newspapers :egard the stiuation in Tripoli as the logical result of the "Moroccan dispute. It is feared that Germany will have to play the part of an honest broker and thus she is liable to fall betweefi two stools, her friendship for Turkey aiul tne loyalty to her Italian ally.

So far as known here the situation so far as the ..relation cf Turkey and Italy are concerned is very serious, but the Turkish emtass folks fa'y that they have heard of no overt act on either side.
