Turks Wants Danubian Front

Istanbul, Feb, 2.

The attention of Turkey yesterday was centred on the Belgrade Balkan conference, for which M. Sukru Sarajoglu, the "Foreign Minister, left by train last night.

It was hoped here that some for-inula would be found at the meetings of the Entente to permit the formation of a unified Balkan-Danubian front to face future menaces. Turkey recently engaged in great diplomatic activity to bring about such union. Reports that Rumania is disposed to settle amicably the questions of Dobrudja and Hungarian minorities in re. turn for certain guarantees, as well as Italy's caution to Hungary not to press the question of the settlement of Transylvania at present seem good omens here.—United Press.
