A TERROR TO SPIES
HOW BOURTSEFF Has

Vladimir Bourtsefr. one OF the greatest
detectives OF modern times, whose revela-

the Russian government, sat In the office
of an East Side physician last week and
gave an interview TO representative OF
The Tribune.

subterranean usefulness OF General Hartins
and extorted confession from the re-

detective OF iron nerve and faultIess ana

hundred traitors in the revolutionary
movement abroad. had come to America to
expose here twoscore patriots in the Cars

'I am an historian said Bourtsef, soft

The statement was perfectly true, but II
sounded like an immense irony. At least.
most historians do not make the history

is possible that he is now writing the his

to date his monumental History OF the

in London a dozen years ago, would be
largely an autobiographical matter. In
Paris he edits an historical magazine called

in the revolution which put an end to

when the new regime came into power

statesman. imbued with Western liberal

self free from any incrimination in the
acts of cruelty and spoliation perpetra-
ted by the now fallen Padishah and his
myrmidons. In one word, Hakki, with
out having laid himself open In any way
to charges Of betrayal of his former
master. was able to come into the camp
of the new regime with perfectly clean
hands.
In conclusion. ii may be pointed out
that while Hakki Beys assumption of
the Grand Vizierate signalizes the close

Committee of Union and Progress and

number of important questions await

with which Turkey will derive advantage
from having as her Grand Vizier an ex-

They include the Dardanelles problem,
the Cretan difficulty the Albanian puz-

Bagdad railroad-that is to say, tie

Persian Gulf and the development of the
once so fertile territory lying between
the two points. This is a matter in
which Germany. Russia, Great Britain
and France are all concerned almost as
much as Turkey and where the utmost
skill, Judgment and statecraft will be
needed in order to avoid a conflict with
one or another of these powers and to
safeguard the best interests Of the Otto
