CAUSES OF THE OBSTINATE Defence OF For
Titled CITIES BY THE TURKS. - A very simple
cause explains this obstinate defence of fortified
cities by the Turks il is necessary. The whole
male inhabitants capable of bearing arms are
arraycd in defence of the place. A city Of
thirty thousand citizens will array on its walls
10000 warriors, each of whom, trained from
infancy to the use of arms, and splendidly
equipped with his own weapons of defence,
formed at once valuable soldier. They fight
desperately, because, like the citizens of towns
in antiquity, they have nothing to hope in the
event of capture. The male inhabitants will
all be put to the sword, the young women sold
for slaves, or swept into the Turkish harem;
the entire fortunes of the inhabitants drawn into
the Golfers of the Sultan or victorious pasha-
The commander himself, if he escape death at
the hands of the assailants. is almost sure to
meet it at those of the Sultan. Misfortune is
punished in the same way as misconduct, and
no amount of previous skill or valor in defence
can save the Governor, who has lost his fortress
from the bowstring Thus the Turks in fortified
towns make resolute defence for the same rea-
son that the Russians do in the open field they
have no hope of safety in flight their only
chance is in standing resolutely together.-.a-
