at Limehouse, he said that the value

Sheikh-Ul-Islam's Attitude.

There should be no surprise at the at
titude Of the Mohammedans toward
Christian soldiers, however. The Sheikh-
Cl-1slam, head of the Moslem church, oc-
cupies seat in the cabinet of the new
government with Hebrews and Christians
and had an active part in the work of
reform.
Shortly after the adoption Of the con-
stitutfon he issued a circular and caused
1t to be published throughout the Moham-
medan world, asserting the right of MEM
bers OF that faith to associate with per-
sons of other faiths in conducting the
affairs of the government He declared
that nothing in the Koran conflicted with
constitutional government and that there
was no reason why believers in other
creeds should not be recognized as hav-
ing equal rights.
He argued that the object Of all gov
ernments being the welfare and pros
perity Of the people, it is clear that the
claims Of all should be considered as Of
authority should lie in the people instead
of in the king. In ancient times the king
was the ruler, the people were the serv-
ants and everything was ordered to suit
the kings pleasure.
But the Koran does not justify any
such system. The king is not the ruler,
but the servant of the people, and his
highest duty Is to find out the wishes Of
the people and to obey them.
In the same circular, he explained that
the Mohammedan population Of Turkey
were laboring under several decisions be-
cause they do not understand the Koran,
which is written in Arabic and has never
been translated into Turkish. He prom
Used that a translation should be made
at once, because, if the people of Turkey
cannot read the Koran. they will natur-
ally be ignorant concerning the sacred
law, and are likely to fall into mistakes
because of a lack Of knowledge of the
truth.
The Arab language is no more sacred
than the Turkish language. The only
reason why the Koran was written in
Arabic is that Mohammed was the son
of an Arab. and knew that language bet
ter than any other. Inspiration Is not

No Trouble Anywhere.

Throughout the interior OF the country
there has been no trouble between men,
bers of the different religious faiths:
there have been no prosecutions, no COM
plants of ill treatment from Christians
on the part of the Mohammedans. Even
the Kurds. who are a barbarous, brutal
horde, living on the borders of Armenia,
have made no raids and committed no
robberies. but are showing the most
friendly disposition toward their Chris
tian neighbors.
This is the first time for generations
that the different religious denominations
in Turkey have been in such {. friendly
mood toward each other.

MAN AND WOMAN FIGHT
WITH FATAL RESULTS
Husband Armed With Shotgun,
Wife With Revolver, Former
Dies of Wounds.

duel between husband and wife, he armed
with a shotgun and she with a revolver,
has had a fatal ending. DR.. B. Templin
Smith died here from wounds inflicted
by Mrs Smith in the duel on the morning
Of September %.
The sensational story was brought out
before the coroner's jury yesterday and
Mrs. Smith was held responsible for her
husbands death. 1t was through her
testimony that the story came to light.
There had been a quarrel over match
and the building of a kitchen fire. The
physician slapped his wife and. when she
protested against such treatment, he COM
manded her to get a weapon.

Religious Animosity Forgotten.

But, as I have said, this was not in
any way a religious, but entirely a po-
litical, controversy. Although the at
tempt to restore the old order of things
by an uprising of the soldiers In Con-
stantinople, in April, 1909, was due
in a measure to fanatical causes, they
were based entirely upon misrepresenta-
tons made to the private soldiers by the
agents Of Abdul Hamid.
They were told that the Mohammedan
law of the shariat. which is based on the
Koran, would be abolished and that they
would not be allowed to pray any longer.
For q time the ignorant private soldiers
were infiamed with indignation. but soon
recovered their equilibrium and realized
that they had been deceived.
For the first time in the history of
Turkey there are Christian soldiers,
Greeks and Armenians, in the Turkish
army. Hitherto none but MOhammedans
have been considered worthy to wear the
uniform, and Christian young men, in
stead of serving three or five years IN
the ranks. were compelled to commute
their service in cash for an exemption
to the Hebrews, who are also found in
the ranks for the first time.
In Austria, which. as you know, is O
Christian country, Mohammedan soldiers
from Bosnia and other provinces are
organized in separate companies, have
their own barracks, officers of their own
faith and cooks who are accustomed
to preparing Mohammedan food. They
are regularly excused from duty on Fri
day, the Moslem Sabbath, and have null
labs for chaplains.

The self-constituted boycott committee
issued a proclamation declaring that it
will be continued until Greece has aban-
doned all designs upon the Island Of

The boycott demoralized the trade of
Turkey in most harmful manner. Most

ports is in the hands of the Greeks. They
practically control the wholesale trade OF

citizens residing In the Ottoman empire
