The who's Who section Of the book
IS not merely question OF individual
leaders, but OF races. Abdul-Hamid ruled
his non Mohammedan subjects OF many
stocks and many faiths by setting them
against one another. The revolution has
brought them together, and now the new
regime confronts not merely the numeri
cal minority of Turks, but difficulties of
many other kinds. the language question:
for instance, and the reorganization OF
an ARM which will be no longer Turkish
and Mohammedan, but composed OF
Christian and Jew as we'll and in which
patriotism must replace the old religious
enthusiasm. The secularization OF edu-
cation must be brought about, II modern
Turkey is TO emerge from the slough OF
ignorance and fanaticism. and in all this
II behooves the leaders TO move eau

intrenched behind the Koran. which

entirely upon their selection by solicitors

Leaning adds, are generally as well

selves.
A sharp division is drawn between the
common law bar and the chancery

of both kinds, as in America; the two
kinds of barristers know little OF and
seem even to have a kind Of contempt for
