One such German train was described recently
by Irwin Cobb who rode in it for three nights and

Finance This man, a native Of Salonica and
holder of this portfolio from the early days of
the new regime, counted by some the strong
est member of the Cabinet. What he did for
Turkish finance is indicated by the fact that Tur-
key in the last year took position, so far as
budget making concerned, ahead of the United
States. He presented for consideration OF the
Parliament Turkeys first regular budget.
Djavid Bey illustrates one of the racial anoma-
lies which the Turkish Empire is capable Of
