That is the naked and ugly truth of

Off With His Head.

The Young Turk movement which
caused the revolution of last July and
put into active operation the defunct
constitution was not only in the inter-
est of progress, but was essentially an
effort to end the abuses of Abdul Ha-
mid's reign. Since the Young Turks
had the army with them, the sultan,
with his usual cunning, made virtue
of necessity and apparently bowed to
the popular will. There was a large
party among the Young Turks in ia
vor then of depriving the aged in
triguer of his throne. if not of his
head, but more conservative counsels
prevailed. A great feast was pre-
pared, at which Abdul Hamid ate with
his parliament, the leader Of the Young

In the American Magazine of last

the sultan's personal appearances:
