"OTTOMANs," NOT "TURKS."
Turk, He Thinks You Mean That
He Is Gross and Rude,
From The New York Times

FROM the new 1ofk Times.
A Turkish merchant from Baltimore
was listener in the Office of the Turkish
consul I'm this city the other day, when
reporter was asking questions about the
war. Before the reporter went away the
Baltimorean said: II have lived thirty
years IN Turkey. and / want to give you
a suggestion. You will not find many
Turks In this city. They do not emgrate.
The Armenians and Syrians in the city
are mostly subjects Of the sultan, but they
are Greek In their sympathies.
But If you do happen to run across
a Turk. do not call him TURK. He does
not like IL. To call a subject Of the sultan
a Turk implies that you think he il
coarse and rude. They like TO be called
Ottomans, and to have their flag and their
language spoken of as the Ottoman flag
and the Ottoman tongue. Even In Eng
lish parlanee to say that man Is not bet
ter than a Turk implies that you have
a pretty low opinion Of him.
Now a word about the sublime porte.
Gentlemen who edit the foreign dispatches
sometimes get confused about this title.
In earlier days OF Ottoman rule the sultan
held courts OF justice and levees at the
entrance OF bis palace. But this has long
since been discontinued. The Office Is del
egated TO a deputy, who presidcs over the
whole Ottoman government with the title
OF grand wzier AZ Constantlnople the
Ottoman government ~ called the sublime

Il. calls II Ny Sublime Porte The title
OF porte. or door. Is used TO designate
other departments Of the government
apart from the grand vizier. For In
stance. the bureau OF the minister OF war
IS called the Setaskier Kapousee. or the

department. These facts are sufficient 70
