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 its docu-
ments. 1t is affiliated with the Ital-
ian masons and not with the British
or American. This fact has incurred
tho special hostility Of orthodox Mo-
halnmedans, 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 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
portentous that he was arrested and
taken before the sultan, where, in his
extremity, he renowned 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 Ger

gressive men in the empire, and far

Moslem 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

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 nj establishing a
suitable government with law and or
der, Is Icing 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 bust

her army for the sake of law and or

as in the dealings with other nations.
