 PepuEar by Accident.
 Enver Bey has become popular by accident he says; In any case he has slipped into niche In the Temple of Fame and with his rough. simple tcom- rade Niazi, will go down to history as the hero of Young Turkey. He Is cavalry major; handsome. neatly groonmed, with black mustache. turn ed up at the ends, and clear complex ion. It is not long before you recog- nize. behind his courtly and some what reserved manners. an essentially statesrnanlilxe mind. The story of his flight to the hills, his organization of the revolt. and his triumphant return to Salonika is passing rapidly into a popular legend. What is more admir- able than his courage and promptness in his scrupulous avoidance of all self Advertisement and his firmness in refusing the high place to which he might justly have expected to rise, He Is going to Berlin as Military Attache, and means, while retaining his mem bership of the Committee, to devote himself to his chosen career as q soldier.

One can hardly realize that though the re- voiution was a peaceful" one, hund- reds of their comrades, men who strove --perhaps less sklllfully--for the same objects have suffered death; that they themselves sehemed and potted, at the risk of their lives. for years; that they expected. and were fully prepared for, revolutionary war of six months at least. following the first outbreak.

Will the middle-aged and the old rise up against them, and re- bel in their turn against this domina- ton of the young? do not think SO, and that for several reasons, For one sft 14eaC nKz nra naa vat rhok these men have done. 1t is they who brought the despotism to an end. While others murdered and did nothing, they set to work. prepared the way, and struck the deadly blow. No freedom loving people ever plotted against themselves, and assuredly the people are behind their leaders.
 Of the older members of the com mittee, there tg Ahmed Riza, now President of the Chamber of Deputies. For twenty-fiye years he was an ex- He in Paris. earning his Hving by teaching. conducting the "Shura-i-Um- met" the organ of the Young Turk propaganda, which was circulated in Turkey through secret channels--a dangerous game, both for him and for his agents. In the long~ years of banfshment he despaired again and again. as he told the Chamber of De- puties, of ever seeing the realization of his hopes. From the first day of the Parliament, even before his election as President, his tall, alert figure, his keen face, with it's neat grey beard. and his quick intellect, dominated the Assembly. His position as President does not preclude him from speaking and he Win perhaps be the strongest personalfty fn the House. He sis re- cognized as the Young Turk leader par excellence. gs
