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
1t is non-religious-the name of the
Deity is not mentioned in its docu-
ments. II 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 factor
in the developments than some more
apparent causes.
Another charge brought against the
committee of Union and Progress is
that its membership is largely Jew
ish. Here one must try to master
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 a 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 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
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
shall have occasion to quote some of
them. Here IL must suffice to give as

Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1911-08-24

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-and who would be
glad of an excuse TO square their ac-
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 houris, 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 Man Of Mystery7
One searches in vain for substanti-
alton for the early tales of the wonder
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 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 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.
IL really runs parliamentary incon-
gruity which makes constitutional
government seem like farce. Fur
thermore. not all of the figureheads
who themselves understand their lack
of power can enjoy this empty show.

Moslem 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 il 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 1t is unthinkable that there
should ever again be strife between
Islam and Christianity. The first bust
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 real patriots can
not be denied. There are many dis
affected persons in Turkey and for
various reasons, some of them obvi-
Gus.

call his interiors. There are various

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 II 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

n book on the train-one that Mr.,
Franklin gave me when | started
and | left il in the car
It's only a step back" said young
Brooks, turning at once.
"Oh, no." said the girl You
needn't go back. II was very inter
esting but | had finished reading it,
so really il isn't worth while"
Young Brooks protested his willing
ness TO return. but his companion
seemed unwilling to trouble him. and
as they we'll into step again he for
got Franklins book, and even the Of
Tending orchid, in his extreme content
with the present situation.
AS they neared the turnstile young
Brooks noticed that the girl was car
rying a small square package under
one arm.
Let me take this" he said apologet-
ically, laying his hand on the little
bundle.
The girl caught it under her elbow
in alarm. but Brooks unsuspecting
fingers had loosened 1t not only from
her hold. but also from its wrappings,
so that the book which the wrappings
contained fell out face upward on the
platform.
As young Brooks stopped to pick II
up. he read the title "Ah," he said,
this seems to be the book | gave
YOU when you went away You have
not read this one, evidently"
Yes, oh. yes" said the girl and
stopped short.
She blushed slowly and painfully,
from her throat to her hair, and she
kept looking straight ahead. 1t was
only a moment before she recovered
her equanimity, but that moment was
all that young Brooks required to learn
something important TO him. When
she glanced up again, with a trivial
remark to break the silence, he was
smiling at her with look I'm his eyes
that Immediately reduced her to
speechless confusion once more.
They walked through the station in
silence and out to his waiting car. As
he helped her in his hand slipped in
advertently down her coat sleeve and
held her fingers one instant In firm
pressure.

voice will be about all from you

WANT FARMERS TO GROW ALFALFA.

The Delaware Experimental Station
desires to secure the cooperation Of 8
number Of farmers thrOughOu the
State in growing alfalfa. 1t is thr0ught
that the plan Of having the farmer grow
a small tract Of slfalfs under the direc.
tiOn OF the Station will serve two puT.
poses. Fret, wider knowledge Of the
adaptability Of Delaware coils to this
valuable crop will be secured. Second,
the location Of fields in various local
ities will serve to demonstrate the cul
tural needs OF the alfalfa crop and its
management.
The primary object Of this work is e.
bring to the attention Of the grower the
Importance of soil preparation and the
vital necessity for certain fertilizers,
lime and inOculstiln in securing salts
factory results with alfalfa
The Experiment Station will give
suggestions as to soil, its preparation,
the kind and amount Of fertilizer to use,
lime and inoculstion The Station will
also furnish free OF charge seed and IN.
Oculating material.
The grower will be expected to pre-
pare the soil, furnish the fertilizers. lime
and to follow certain suggestions as to
method OF sowing. The area Of these.
test fields should not be lees than one
acre and not more than two acres
All persons desiring cooperate with
the Station in this way should write
to Prof. A. f. Granthan, Newark, for
further particulars.

EXPERIMENTS IN GROWING ALFALFA.

Frederick Brady is making an inter.
esting experiment in growing alfalfa
with bacteria inoculsted soil. On 81
acre tract in the rear Of the Middlet Iwn
Farms creamery, when sowing his al
falfa seed he drilled in $50 and 500
pounds on different parts Of the tract,
and on the third portion none at all, of
fine dry dirt taken from an old and very
good alfalfa field in Maryland.
Where he used the micrObe infected
soil the alfalfa crop was three or four
times IS heavy as where he used none.
And the result showed that the 25O
pound drilling was ss good as the 500
pound. This last feature is in keeping
With results elsewhere obtained as to
the amount necessary for this purpose.
The entire tract had been previously
treated the same with lime and manure,
so that the remarkable result is due en-.
tirely to the presence on the inOeulated
tracts Of the nitrogen fixers" contain.
ed in the borrowed soil.
His frst cutting yields two and
half tons to the acre, and he expects at
least two more this season.
Mr. Brady also exhibited q simple,
cheap and highly useful tool to dry the
green stuff quickly collapisble rick
made Of four foot uprights sawed out
Of bull pine, 2x2 inches, one bolt hold.
ing them at the slanted peak and four
bolts, one on the lower middle each leg
through four like pieces which run hOri-
zontally across the four uprights. 1t
all folds up into a solid bundle not
more than q foot square, and it costs
only 25 cents by the hundred to make
the rick.
