Turk Stands qc1th Torch
In a Poqcder MagaSrne

BERLIN, Jan. 24--An unconfirmed
despatch today said that the Young
Turks were In possession OF the pal
ace at Constantinople. and that riot
ing and pillaging were threatened
throughout the Ottoman capital. The
despatch added that all messages from
Constantinople were rigidly censored.
Enver Bey, held directly responsible
for the killing OF Naztm Pasha, has
been made military commander OF
Constantinople, on his own demand,
by Sultan Mohammed V. The Young
Turks. now headed by Enver Bey, are
those who led the revolutions of 1905
and 1909. which drove Abdul Hamid
from the throne, and set up his broth.

ers. and to be willing to do all they
ask.
The new ministry named by the sui
tan was dictated by Enver Bey, who
is undoubtedly the man of the hour In
the Ottoman empire. He was military
attache OF the Turkish embassy at
Berlin, up TO the outbreak OF the Turk.

was recalled TO command a part OF
the army In Africa.
With Shcfkert Pasha, the new grand
vizier, Enver Bey was instrumental In
the organization Of the Committee OF
Union and Progress (Young Turks
who directly deposed Abdul Hamid
and drove him into Asia to exile.
The Turkish situation is regarded
here as most menGcing. IL Is believed
certain now that the porte will not
hand over Adrianople, and the inter
vention by the powers is bound to re
suit. Even then, with the Turkish
military party dominant, Europe
might find II difficult to enforce her
demends on the Ottoman without re
course to arms. and that might pre-
cipitate disastrous and unlocked for
consequences.
The Turk now stands with a torch
IN a powder magazine. and there will
be wild work elsewhere than on the
Chatalja lines. IL prompt measures are
not taken. 10 restrain him." is the way
leading continental papers expressed
the situation.
