Turks Communicated Horses.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 19-The
Turk is not an excitable person. For
some unexplainable reason flat-faced
people with high cheek bones and bull
let heads never are. And just now
Constantinople, the capital of a coun-
try which is at war, is peopled by bull
let-headed, high-cheeked persons (most
of them in khaki uniforms), who go
about their duties, mainly drilling, and
annexing the horses of civilians with
as little display of emotion or enthusi-
asm as though their nation were at
peace with all the world.
Practically every Ottoman subject
who had a horse last month has either
had it Communicated or has hidden it.
Imagine the traffic on Broadway being
held up while policemen calmly unhar-
messed every available omnibus or cab
horse and led it away to the barracks
stables! That is precisely what has
been happening here. The only car
riages now available in the streets are
those drawn by proteges or by foreign
subjects. And even they are being con-
tinually stopped and made to show
their papers.
Willy Turks who hid their horses in
cellars at the first alarm are now try

A committee consisting of NJ E.
Lewis, VIM. M. Morgan and George
Fields was appointed to draft a bill
permitting cities to levy in excess of
the 20 mills now permitted for gen
eral purposes, for specific purposes.
This would obviate the necessity of
bonding the city for the pavement OF
street intersections.

ing to sell them to the little army of
war correspondents at most interesting
prices. In certain underground laby-
rinth in Old Town today one saw an
astonishing number, and was offered a
miserable hide-and-bone screw for
$500.
Even the buffaloes are now being
taken for transport haulage by the
military. And at the corner of the
Galata bridge this afternoon l saw al
queer sight-a Turkish trooper gravelt
collecting whips from the driver bf
every Ottoman-owned cart or carriage
that passed him. He had bundle OF
these whips under his arm, and as
every vehicle drew abreast OF him he
reached forth an memorable hand and
added to his stock This form OF taxa
ton in kind, seen in practice, literally
takes ones breath away. Every Turks
property is, in time Of need, the prop
erty of the government. Truly, the
Turks are strange people.

KIDNAP MEN TO FILL
TURKISH ARMY'S RANKS

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 19.-The
mobilization of the Ottoman army, with
the drafting Of all sorts and conditions
of Ottoman subjects, is more like
wholesale kidnapping than anything
else. Squads of soldiers make house
toulouse search and willy-nilly lead of
any eligible, and many Ineligible per-
sons.
All ablebodied men are desired, but
many semi-invalids have been enrolled
Proper military health certificates of
exemption from service have not
availed when the recruit catchers have
come along. Moreover, men who are
the sole support of their families and
who have never smelled powder nor
tasted the exposure of the camp, nor
received aught but evil at the hands of
the Ottoman government, are dragged
off and lost in the huge human mass.

Building operations are at stand
still because the laborers have been
forcibly collected. Only two proofs
against capture are sure. One is
bona fide foreign passport; the sec
ond is for those who have already
bought themselves off from military
service or who have finished their serv-
ice, and that is the immediate payment
of SITS. Thousands of Ottoman sub
iects who can not raise this sum are
led off and cast into the pitiless jaws
of the crushing, grinding Turkish mill
tary machine.
