TURKISH CONSTITUTION FRAMED
 se YEARS AGO TODAY, A FARCE

There will. be no wild enthusiasm in stricken Turkey today to mark the thirty-sixth anniversary of Alp dul Hamid's proclamation of con- stitution. It was on Dec. 2s, 1878. that Abdul, called "the Damned' promulgated the famous document, after the model of Western Euro pean States, that was to bring free dom and happiness to his subjects, but which rniserabIy failed. Abdul's decision that the Turks needed a constitution was reached only when the hand of the reformer frightened about his throat, and when the Abdul promptly abolished and spat upon the constitution. and deposit ed it upon the rubbish heap. The reformers grum b1ed. of course, but it was not until 1908 that they gain ed sufficient strength to force Abdul to re e-establish a constitutional form of government In the following 8 year Abdul was @sent packing and the pious Mehmed ", was elevated to the throne. Under his reign and that of the Young Turks things have gone from bad to worse for the Turks. They have heard the ttdog of an unbeliever'' barking at their door. they have seen large sections of Turkish territory in Africa and Europe disappear down the greedy gullet of the Christian, and all of this has come to pass since the re- storation of that constitution that was to have made Turkey great. .tBy AlIah!'' one can imagine the patrio- tic Turk saying, "if these be the fruits of a constitution, then give us despotisn. give us back our Abdul the Damned
 In any event the Turks would not celebrate the anniversary of the constitution today, owing to the diff ference in their calendar, but it is safe to surmise that they are not in mood for festivities, and least of stitution that has brought them nothing but domestic broi1s and disgracefu1 defeats. Probably Fur key would have been defeated and disrupted had Abdul retained con- tro1, but the friends of the old re- gime refuse to believe it. and place all the blame for the ills that have befa1Ien their land upon the const1- tuition, the spineIess Mehmed, and his Young Turk advisers
 Since the restoration of the con- stitution and the ascendancy of the Young Turks, hundred million dollars have been spent on the army Probably there has been much graft, yet it is certain that the condition of the Ottoman army has been vast ly improved. Before the ttbloodless revolution the Turkish soldiers were seldom paid, were ill fed. ill housed, ill-clothed and armed with obsolete guns. The great weakness of the Young Turks preparations for war was in the absence of adequate hos pital arrangements, and In an ai- most utter lack of transportation fa- cilities. Perhaps the desirability of

 The first reduction in postal rates in the United States was provided for in an act of Congress passed nine eight years ago today, Dec. B, 1874, and went into effect the following year. Letter-postage rates were re- duced to twelve cents for any distance not over forty miles; fifteen cents for eighteen and three-quarter cents for ninety to 150 miles; twenty-five cents for 15o to 300 miles; thirty cents from 300 to 300 miles, and thirty-seven and a half cents for distances over" 300 miles. The next reduction came in 1S45, when the letter postage was placed at five and ten cents, according to distance. In 1855 the letter rate was fixed at three cents for any dis tance under 5000 miles, and in 1875 the flat rate was established, regard less Of distance, to points within the United States.
