To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is pitiful to read now the official statement isssued on August 15th, 1914, through the newly formed Press Bureau: "The Press Bureau states that there is no reason to doubt that the Turkish Gov- ernment is about to replace the German officers and crews of the Goeben and Breslau by Turkish officers and crews. " As evidence of Oriental good faith a photograph of the Goeben flying the Turkish naval flag was kindly supplied for publication in English newspapers. What could be more con- vincing? ...Then, when the moment was ripe and there was no more need for the verisimilitude of photographs, came the rough awakening, an- nounced as follows: "On October 29th, without notice and without anything to show that such action was pending, three Turkish torpedo craft appeared suddenly before Odessa. . . . The same day the cruisers Breslau and Hamidieh bombarded several com- mercial ports in the Black Sea, including Novo- rossisk and Theodosia. In the forenoon of October 30th, the Goeben bombarded Sevastopol without causing any serious damage.
