YOUNG" TURKS OUSTEl
CABINET ADVOCATES CoNsTITu-
TON AS UNSATISFACTORY.
New order-Constitution alists
Gradually Needed Out

COnstantinople-T cabinet de.
cided to abTogate the Turkish consti-
tuition, declaring that after nearly
four years trial it has proved wholly
unsatisfactory
In the general excitement over the
war, Constantinople did not seem to
realize at first that the government
announcement amounted to nothing
less than another revolution.
Preparations for the step had been
made very carefully. For days past
the authorities have been quietly
gathering in the Young Turkish lead
ers and taking them to- places of con-
finement on the Asiatic side of the
Bosphorus Constitutionalists in high
army posts have been weeded out
gradually and men who were known
to believe popular government poorly
adapted TO Turkish requirements put
in their places.
Nazim Pasha, the minister of war
and active commander of the army,
has always opposed the Young Turks.
Enyer Bey, the ablest man in the
Young Turkish organization, has been
in Tripoli since soon after the out
break of the war with Italy.
The coup evidently was the result
OF long, careful planning Everything
indicated that the Absolutists had
been awaiting their opportunity for
months. The war with the Balkan
allies furnished this opportunity.
The Young Turks were wonderfully
clever as conspirators, but none of
them have administrative ability. In
stead of devoting themselves to the
business OF real reform when they
gained control Of the government,
they played politics.
| They were theorists, and each had
a different theory OF government
which he insisted on trying.
