old Hurley had his skull broken 10y

good record to that time. after conn
out of the hospital the boy developed
marked signs of incorriglbility. With
the consent OF his parents the doctors
OF the reform school performed an
operation End removed piece of bone
which was pressing upon his brain, after
which for a time he became tractablc
and affectionate. But within year
Harold was up to his old tricks. An
other operation was performed, a por-
ton of the skull being removed. Agai;
he showed signs of docility. But the
effect was not lasting. Performing
operations on thicf's brain to cure hlm
of stealing is the vcriest nonsense, Tor

Revolution Against Young Turks Fcared
Lot Not Changed by New Regime.

Constantinoplc, July ia revoiu-

Turks. is momentarily expected III
Turkey, and, strange us it may seem.
the Turkish people are almost 4 unit
in praying for success for the reaction
aries 1t was just two years ago that
the world was startled with the news
that the Young Turks had marched
into Constantinople, deposcd Sultan
Abdul Hamid, placed his brother on
the Ottoman throne, and created Il
form OF constitutional government,
with parliament, but the mass OF
Turkish people has come to realize
that their lot has not been improved
by the change.
While the constitutional government
has swept away some OF the abuses
which marked the absolute monarchy,
il has brought down upon the Turkish
people more and greater abuses.
The parliamentary government OF the
Young Turks is IN empty shell. Mar
tial law is still proclaimed in CONSTANT
nople, SO that persons making them
selves politically Objectionable to the
leaders of the Young Turk movement
Gun he arrested and thrown into prison
at will The Young Turks have excr-
cised this power to the extreme AMI
Constantinoplc prisons are ovcrcrowdcd
with Independent thinkers. Those OPP
posed to the Young Turks committee
are oppressed and maltrcated just as
badly Us the Young Turks themselves
were treated by the former Sultan. The
people had grown to expect this opprcS-
sion from an absolute monarch, but II
gals when used by the Young Turks,
WHO promised freedom.
The revolutionary spirit is being
rostclcd by thousands OF rcactlonary
officials who lost wcIl-paying posts, by
Mohammcdan priests who believe the
new regime will lead to intidelity to
the Moslem religion, and Ey true fol-
lowers of Abdul Hamid, who will 60 to
any extreme to bring the dcposcd Sui
tan back from Salonica, where he is
held prisoner by the Young Turks.
The Young Turks declare the re-
pressive methods they are using are
necessary to combat these elements and
safeguard the constitution. Their enc
mics aver, however, that the Young
Turks Cypress not only the reactlonarles
but also the friends Of liberty and pro-
grcss who cannot see events exactly rs
the Young Turks want them seen. 1t
is the persecution of the Progresslves
that is WEAVING away the greatest friends
OF the Young Turks and that promises
TO undermine their rule to such an cx-
tent that the revolt planned by Abdul
Hands friends will be successful.
