it became necessary TO attempt such
a co~unter-movement as would at
least temporarily arrest the assault
ants. No Turk would do it. Per-
haps Shakkyr Pasha hesitated to
sacrifice one of his own race and
creed, and so Valentine Baker was
sent to the rear with three thou
sand men and four guns, and bid
to hold the enemy at bay until the
vanguard Of the army should be in
safety.
Now, Baker Pasha, until this
war, had seen little actual cam
paigning, and though reputed to
be the smartest cavalry officer in
the British service, had never hand
led any large bodies Of troops ex-
cept in some show maneuyers at
Aldershot. But he was equal to
the emergency, and English pluck
showed itself, as it always does. He
scarcely speaks one word of the
Turkish tongue; his two staff Off
GERS, Allix and Baker, are inexpe-
rienced; yet he carried his soldiers
with him, and during ten hours
commended against twenty battalions
of the enemy and sixteen cannon,
and although he left six hundred
dead and wounded upon the field
behind him, finally fought his
way back to the main body, which
had gone on, little rocking what
had become of their comrades. He
was made a lieutenant general for
this brilliant exploit, but the reward
comes too late to be of use to the
nation, for jealousy and distrust of
all foreign birth, even though they
may have embraced the Moslem
faith as did Mehemet Ali, will pre-
vent with him, as it has already
done with SO many others, employ
ment where courage and ability
may be of value.
The behavior of the Turks to
strangers is one of the anomalies of
the national character. At times,
and when in a tight place, they Gag
erly go to them for assistance, thus
tacitly acknowledging their superb
Ority, but so soon as the critical
moment has passed, they switch
them on one side like a coal train,
to be kept until called for. The
soldiers have confidence in their
leadership, and will follow them
where their own people would de-
cline to expose their own lives; but,
because the government
breads their growing influence, they
are never kept long in positions Of
trust.
l had omitted to tell of the last
act of Suleiman Pasha. Last week
Mehemet Ali Pasha, the only Turk
ish general who has ever shown any
real talent in the open field, was
sent up to supersede him with fully
Endorsed powers to conduct the OPP
without interference from
and Mehemet went up,
and he came back, for the gentle
man in authority simply declined
to obey orders, and told his would
be successor that the sooner he left
that camp the better it would be
for his personal safety.
