Constantnople, April 21.-The conflict
between Mussulmen piety and the po-
liiical ideas of the West has brought
The Turkish people to the verge of civil
war. Zeal for the faith has been I'M
loosed and the adjustment of the Sui
! tan's relations to the Committee of
Union and Progress probably will on
" postpone the armed struggle be-
tween the deliverers Of the ancient
teachings of the prophet and those who
are urging the teachings from western
Europe
The cabinet debated the situation for
four hours today, giving special at
tention to the negotiations which the
ministers have taken in hand on be-
half of the Sultan with the military
members of the committee among
whom are Huseni Pasha, the COM
mander of the Sd Army Corps. his d.
vision commanders and IZZet Pasha,
chief of the general staff.
The Sultan's primary demand is to
remain the constitutional sovereign
with all the spiritual powers of the
Caifate, with liberal allowances FOR
his household, while he also asks for a
variety of guarantees which would
not be difficult to grant.
The demand of the Committee of
Union and Progress is that the Sultan
shall offer no resistance whatever ana
submit Internationally. The Saloniki
committee, which is the backbone OF
the whole Progressive movement, is
largely military and it's most import
ant civilian members are with the
