WOMEN AND TURKISH REVOLUTION
Correspondence of

August 30. 1910.

CONSTANTTNOPLE,A August 80. 1910.
Everybody agrees that the most re-
markable change in social conditions
caused by the revolution
Radical in Turkey has occurred
among the feminine por-
Ohanse. ton of the population,
mothers of the Young Turk party had
a powerful influence in bringing 1t
about. During the anxious months of
conspiracy and preparation many high
born Turkish ladies worked with cour-
age. enthusiasm and intelligence for
the cause of liberty. Some of them
acted as messengers, carrying con-
cealed about their persons papers
which. if discovered, would have been
their death: others afforded the revo-
lutionary committees opportunities for
holding their meetings, and furnished
those who were in danger means of es-
cape Twelve thousand spies in the
employ of Abdul Hamid were unable to
outwit the women of Turkey in this
work. and the leaders of the Young
Turk party coneede that they owe their
success largely to the assistance Of
their wives and sisters and mothers.
1t was not the work of a day. however.
or a year. but of a generation. and. in
the preparation of the women Of Turkey
for the performance of this patriotic duty,
the American College for Girls at Scutari
has been one of the most effective agen-
cies. Its president it's faculty and its
alumni have been engaged. for a quarter
Of a century in a far-reaching propaganda
to convince the women Of Turkey that
they are entitled to light and learning.
and the results are seen in the eagerness
with which the daughters of the foremost
families of the empire are seeking an ed
ucation similar to that which English and
American girls receive.

Delusion.' The ideas now so wide
spread concerning the and value of
aeroplanes in future conflicts are due TO
ignorance Of certain laws and forces that
govern war and the failure to comprC-
bend that instruments of combat occupy
but restricted place therein. In the
United States, England and China, not be-
ing countries where militancy is much Of
factor. such ignorance is general. hence
much exposed to military delusion.
The writer cites a classical instance Of
Elusive theories that cmanate from de-
Ginning races and those melancholy por-
tons of society that call their moral
cowardice altrusm and their physical
cowardice the brotherhood Of man.. He
refers to book by NJ. Block, altruist, on
the impossibility of future wars. He men
tons the ferocity and destructiveness Of
modern weapons. Block could not con-
ceive OF the impact of armies without
complete defamation.
Since NJ. Block let himself loose with
this sort of ammunition nearly every great
nation has been at war, with the result
that the destruction of life has been less
than in past great wars. What. asks tho

The range OF musketry and artillery has

lbrium between the weapons of offense
and the means of defense has been re
stored. What" then asks the writer lis

''You ask II there has been any diff
ference in the conduct of our students
since the constitution" said
Favorable DR.. Patrick in reply to my
n1 question. Il have noticed a
S6S' much greater largcness OF
ideas and a much wider scope of ambi-
ton since the adoption of the constitu-
ton has opened new opportunities to
them. The change is wholly favorable.
The new government is decidedly in ia
vor of the education of women. while
Abdul Hamid was stubbornly opposed.
1t is favorably disposed to the American
College for Women. Djavid Boy, the
minister of finance. delivered our COM
mencement address. Nedjneddin Bey,
minister of justice in the cabinet sends
his daughter to us. and We have five
students whose tuition is paid by the gov
eminent. We have just received an ap-
plication from the government to buy our
property in Scutari when the college
moves to it's new site, in order that a
school for Turkish women may be con-
tinued in the place where one has eX-
listed for SO long.
This could not have occurred before
the constitution. and Is sufficient of itself
to convince any one of the feeling of the
Turkish government toward our work.
Several Of our graduates are the wives
of men who have been active in the de-
velopment of Bulgaria. members of the
cabinet and members of parliament, and I
do not know how many had an active
part in the recent revolution in Turkey.
At that time we had only two Moham
medans among our alumni Since then
We have added another. Both of these
took and active part in the recent revo-
luton, consulting with the men leaders,
who sought their advice and suggestions,
writing for the papers and even speaking

hammedan graduates has already become
a power in political circles Of CONSTANT
nople. I refer TIC Nine. Halideh Salih,
who writes for the newspapers constant
ly, discussing leading questions with great
ability. and her advice is often asked by
the political leaders and the statesmen OF
Turkey.
