A defense of the Mohammedan religion
was made today re an interview by y.
Saadeddin, editor of the Turkish iI;ust-at-
! Ell fortrightly Shehbal, who has bsen
| spending some time III Washington Dis
cussing the letters from Turkey by VIII
liam Z. Curtis. published in The Star, Mr..
Saadeddin said:
Il have just finished reading in We'd
nesday's issue Of The Star an article by
William Il. Curtis. entitled Reform in
Turkey Your correspondent speaks of
the Mohammedan religion as being be-
hind the age and constituting an OBJ
stacle in the way of progress.
During the last twenty days that l
have spent in Washington l have been
a regular. reader OF The Star, and at
tentively followed the art cles that Mr..
Curtis wrote about Turkey. Being
Turk and Moslem, I feel myself suf-
ficiently competent to judge OF the value
Of his writings. and in that capacity l
can sum up my impression in saying
that he has been mistaken in almost
every question he has dealt with.
Errors Are Pointed Out.
''He had an erroneous view of what
was going on in my country when he
tried to describe the Young Turkish poll
tics. He had no correct idea OF the
nature OF superstitions that are credited
ohiChS VIC Ao"Sh anu Ni'eSS
Turks when he attempted to trace the
history OF the Mosque OF ST. Sophia. And
last, he has been seriously mistaken in
his opinion about the Mohammedan re-
ligion.
II will mention just one example of his
inaccurate knowledge about Young
Turks. He earnestly spoke of Said Pasha.
president of the Turkish senate. as being
an Armenian, while the very name OF
this gentleman reveals his pure Turkish
origin. Indeed. most Of the occidental
writer's meet with the same fate when
ever they speak of oriental affairs. This
ia due to the Iact that the foreigners
who visit the orient usually do not know
single word OF the language Of the
people among whom they travel. This
lack of knowledge exposes them to all
sorts Of wrong ideas and false impress
sions, and frequently leads them to fill
up the existing gap by imagination or
Inadequate information.
II am sure it IS the same with Mr..
Curtis. who apparently knows very little
Turkish. I do not wish to go into details
and criticise every particular error OF
your correspondent. 1 shall confine
! myself to correcting a few essential
points In his last article. Mr.. Curtis
says: 'fThe Mohammedan religion) has
kept the people IN ignorance Educated
men cannot be Mohammedans.' NO Mo-
hammedan has invented anything or done
| anything to advance the welfare of his
community '(Mohammedanism is) q re-
| lision that is based upon ignorance, and
so forth.

skate, besides being a perfect
rink skate. is particularly desir-
able for street use. as the large
wheels roll over the imperiec-
tions.ot the pavenents with very
much less resistance than do the
small rollers of the old type. The
wheels turn automatically for any
curved stroke--wllich is one OF
its two main points of merit; the
other being perfect ankle sup

increased when larger wheels arc

GRIFFITH,

Considerable OF a mystery devel-
oped at the Standard Oil pumping sta
ton Thursday. The pumps began to
speed up and the pipe line pressure
went down rapidly without any ap-
parent cause. 1t was finally decided
that there must be leak somewhere
in the main pipe line between here
and Whiting or towards Crown Point.
Men were sent out in both directions.
but no leaks were found. One of the
engineers went to the gate house, and
in examining the valve in one of the
gates, he discovered an old felt hat
lodged there. On removing 1t the en-
gineers went back to their normal
speed and the line pressure was re-
stored, but a close watch is kept on
that particular gate, for Hixenbaugh,
one of the engineers. says that they
are expecting the owner of the hat
along most any time.
