WAR DIES DOWN

Constantinople, Jan. 25.-The
first wave of blood inspired by
the revolution, is over, and the
people who yesterday were MUIR
dering men, women and children,
have returned to their senses.
The superstitious Mohamme-
dams were terrified early this
morning by an earthquake which
shook the entire city. Walls
trembled windows were browen;
furniture thrown about by the
tremor. Some said it was a sign
of i'll omen for the new Young
Turk government.
A new national assembly has
been chosen. Mahmoud Shevket
Pasha, Enver Bey's new grand
vizier, called it into session today.

It is practically certain that the

give up Adrianople or the islands.
But it is thought that Enver Bey
believes that the powers will
rather force the allies to give up
their dream of getting the holy
city and the islands than permit

It is thought that Enver Bey,
