war, the supreme commander or the
Turkish armies, the Saviour of Con-
stantinople" and the man who has
frequently been said to be the real
dictator of the present regime in
Turkey.
Really, Gen. Shevket is practically
subordinate to one of his own aids
and associates. He is not in the in
ner circle of the committee of Union
and Progress, although genuine
Young Turk. 1t is perhaps an incon-
siderate way of putting the case, but
l am credibly informed that he is
only a sort of puppet in the hands
of stronger men. However, he looks
the part of a popular idol. Tall.
bearded, with small black eyes that
flash, he is veritable Beau Brummel.
He could readily be a cruel man and
a dictator if he had the power, else
l misread physiognomy. While we
talked he twirled his nose glasses by
the handle, or rolled them on his fin
side of which bears a large vaccina-
ton mark. Frequently he tilted aside
his green astrachan fez and scratched
his iron-gray hair.
He Is a charming gentleman to
meet, and he speaks with an apparent
openness that would disarm an I'M
sQceptical interviewer. He told me in
all earnestness and apparent sincerity
that there was absolutely nothing in
the rumored agreement between Rou-
mania and Turkey, although l had
other more trustworthy information,
which history has since confirmed,
that the deal had been made. He
speaks with the greatest optimism
concerning the future of the new
regime. The financial revenues in
creased by thirty-three million francs
during the first year and, because of
better methods of collection, a still
greater increase will probably be
made during the present year. The
situation throughout the provinces,
he said, has very much Improved, the
turbulent Albanians have been paci-
fed and disarmed. Parerthetically,
may remark that one who saw the
arms the government took in, says
that they are only fit for a museum,
and that the rifles and revolvers
which can really do business are still
within reach of the warlike Albanians.
Shevket Pasha says he thinks the AL
banians will be a valuable asset to
Turkey when enrolled in the army,
and he spoke most magnanimously
of their defeat by the Turkish army
sent against them. He said they lack,

by one whose knowledge of Turkish

by one whose knowledge of Turkish
affairs has proved correct on other
points that the jailers of Abdul Hamid
are men who have blood feuds with
him-whose relatives the deposed
sultan has slain-an6 who would be
glad of an excuse to square their &C
counts with him. Moreover, Salonica
is the center of Young Turk senti-
ment, and the most difficult soil for
the growth of reactionary plot.
That the common people expect new
er to see Abdul in power again is
shown by the way the press and the
public deride and detest and make
sport of him. The meanest loafer in
the sidewalk cafes is free to curse the
memory of the prisoner at Salonica.
A popular postcard in the shops rep
resents the prison beguilements of
the late sultan. 1t is a portrait cum
ningly created by the grouping of sew
eral hours, and vision of the
mosques and palaces of the Bosphor-
us within the tarboosh. The harmless
diversions of the harem are all of his
former glory permitted to Abdul
Hamid
is There a Man of Mystery?
One searches in vain for substanti-
alton for the early tales of the wonder
full dictator in Paris, who, unknown
himself, rules Turkey through the
committee of Union and Progress.
There is no really great personality
on that body. Not all of the members
are known, however, although all pos
sible members have been appraised.
There is an Arabian Nights flavor
to the situation in Constantinople to-
day. The real head of a department
may be a man in the outer office. The
cabinet minister may be subject to
his secretary in the ante-room. The
inner circle of the Young Turk COM
mittee is made up of men who, for the
purpose, occupy places high and low.
Some of the members of this inner
circle are in office, some are absolute
ly without official position. The COM
mittee has a penchant for putting for
ward the men who look a part and
who will fill the role of popular he
roes.
This is the anomaly of present-day
Turkey. The committee of Union and
Progress is supposed to have dis
solved and passed out of existence
1t really runs parliament-an incon-
gruity which makes constitutional
government seem like a farce. Fur
thermore, not all of the figureheads
who themselves understand their lack
of power can enjoy this empty show

and they are one element of weakness
in the new order.
A Masonic and Jewish Body.
Everybody in Constantinople seems
to know that the committee which
overthrow Abdul Hamid and brought
in the new day for the empire is real
ly a Masonic organization. 1t differs
from the masonry of the west in that
it is non-religious-the name of the
Deity is not mentioned in it's docu-
ments. 1t is affiliated with the Ital-
ian masons and not with the British
or American. This fact has incurred
the special hostility of orthodox Mo-
hammedans, who dislike the Masonic
order even more than they detest
Christianity This fact may be borne
in mind in any study Of present con-
ditions, for it is likelier to be a factor
in the developments than some more
apparent causes.
Another charge brought against the
committee of Union and Progress is
that it's membership is largely Jew
ish. Here one must try to master a
strange condition, possible only in
this romantic east, where the improb-
able and the incongruous are matters
of every day This particular story
harks back more than 200 years, when
the son of a Salonica rabbi announced
himself as the Messiah and got con-
siderable following. His cause was so
taken before the sultan, where, in his
extremity, he renounced his claims
and accepted Islam.
So great was the confidence of his
followers in this Messiah, that they
too obeyed his lead and became Mos
lens. During the ensuing centuries
they have remained a distinct commu-
nifty, with their own mosque. They
never intermarry with other Moslems,
and the genuineness and depth of
their fidelity to Islam is a subject Of
scepticism among the faithful. CeS-
tainly this Moslem-Jewish community
has furnished some of the most ag-
gressive men in the empire, and far
more than its proportion of the lead
ers of the Young Turk movement.

ers of the Turkish government, and

them. Here it must suffice to give as

Good Vacation Advice.

MosIem Versus Christian.

MosIem Versus Christian.
When we got to talking about the
possibility of further trouble between
the Moslems and the Christians, he
naively asserted that it was the Mos
lens who were in danger from the
Christians, which would explain why
Christians rather than the Moslems,
are being disarmed.
He said that what is being done in
Albania in the way of establishing a
suitable government with law and or
der, is being carried out also among
the Druses. There is a reasonable
percentage of Christians now in the
army, according TO the new order, and
he says it is unthinkable that there
should ever again be strife between
Islam and Christianity. The first BUSH
ness of Turkey is the development OF
her army for the sake of law and or
der throughout the country, as we'll
as in the dealings with other nations.
He stressed the idea of a strong Turk
ish army, ready for any emergency,
but he looks forward to no immediate
armed eventualities with any other
country.
The Governments Many Critics.
So much for one cabinet minister's
view. That he and many like him, in
Office and out, are rea1 patriots can
not be denied. There are many dis
affected persons in Turkey and fer
various reasons, some of them opvi-
Gus.
The foreigner is displeased, as ne
chemically is with any government
carried on by those whom he likes to
call his interiors. There are various
portentous elements of disintegratIUn
at work in the empire. l question
whether it will ever be possible to
have a homogeneous nation here.
The new order of things has brought
in a new restlessness among all class
es of people, and Turkey, be it ever
remembered, is a hodge-podge of ma
tionalities. On one occasion | count
ed at least fifteen distinct and differ
ent peoples that go to make up this

ship of state was never so difficult to
