New York Times 100 years ago today, October 18, 1912:
BERLIN, Oct. 17.— Turkey has withdrawn a large sum of money, reported to be $17,500,000, from Germany, according to a dispatch from Bucharest.
The money was deposited in Germany in the course of the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid, and was earmarked exclusively for a war fund.
Germany has consented, says the correspondent, to the delivery of the money to the Ottoman Government, and the gold is now on the way from Kustendji, Rumania, to Constantinople on board the steamer Regelo Carol I.
