German Embassy As Hospital.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 11, 1912:
Kaiser Sends Order to Ambassador to Turkey — Turks Grateful.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, Oct. 10.— Germany's first sign of sympathy for Turkey is reported in news from Constantinople that the Kaiser has ordered the German Ambassador to place a large part of the embassy at the disposal of the Turkish Foreign Minister for hospital purposes and the accommodation of wounded soldiers. The Foreign Minister accepted the proposal with an expression of deep gratitude for this signal mark of the Kaiser's friendship.
    It is explained here that there is nothing unusual in the Kaiser's action, which is intended merely as a mark of courtesy and friendship.
    It is recalled that the German Government furnished hospital equipment to Russia in the course of the Japanese war, and took care of a number of convalescent Russian officers at a sanatorium.
    Germany also offered hospital equipment to Italy for use in Tripoli, but it was not needed.
