under the excitement of religious

impression. Without even a study of
the character of the Turkish soldier, or
of the army's organization, history
will teach us that he is gifted with
heroism which the soldiers of other
nations might well be proud. Nor do
we have to go bac& further than the
Rassian-Turkish war of 1S77-78 to find
this display Of heroism. What nation
can point to grander example of duty
faithfully and heroicaily performed
than that Of the Turkish troops under
osman Pasha during the siege Of
Plevna?
Despite our sneers. and our hatred
Of the Turkish character, a hatred
which may. be well founded in the

force. It is organized ON modern lines,

In fact, a monument erected to him

When we remember the opening of
the Greco-Turkish war of 1897. it is
easy to imagine the fighting strength
of the empire. Then, without any
seeming effort, 100000 men were mob

less than one-half of this number were

was assured that 1t could 4be done
easily in minutes. That illustrates
the rapidity with which Turkey could
mobilize her permanent army Of 300,-
600 men to meet the permanent army
of Bulgaria of 100000 men.
In the event of war the Turkish
army in the field would no doubt be
commanded by Edhem Pasha, a COM
