from Charles p. Taft that it would be
well if the two groups of capitalists

Connery. head of another group met
Thursday and formed a mutually
agreeable combination" Early next
week a meeting of the two syndicates
will be held here and a definite agree
ment reached, it was announced.

long distance telephone conversation
with John T. Connery. Mayer was in
the Taft office at the time and came
back to Chicago in time for meeting
today.

Mayer and Connery said:
I'VE think we can assure the public

tuition"

TRANSLATION or THE KORAN.
II Now Appears For First Time In
Turkish Language.

Nine out of ten foreigners usually
think of the Koran as being written
in the Turkish language, while. as a
matter of fact. 1t is written in Arabic
and in Arabic characters. The Turkish
language, strange rs it may seem, has
no characters of its own. and Turkish
books are usually printed with Arabic
or Greek characters; hence the ex-
element in religious circles in Turkey
on the appearance of the Koran for
the first time in the Turkish vernacu-
lar.
The translation has been done by
Ibrahim Bey Hilmy. a learned oriental,
who by giving Turks an opportunity
of expressing their religious sentiments
in their own mother tongue will doubt
less be suitably rewarded by both
church and state.
The sheik ul Islam at Constantinople
heretofore prohibited the publication
of the Koran in the v%ernacular on the
plea that since no translator could
strictly conform to the original he
would be sure to make mistakes and
those mistakes would be sacrilege. In
this the sheik has usually been sup
ported by the prime minister and the
Young Turks. who. in spite of the lib
eral ideas ON religion that some Of
them are known to entertain, cannot
go against popular feeling on SO i'm
portant a matter. But it seems that
Ibrahim Bey Hilmy, who is master Of
both Arabic and Turkish, to say moth
ing of Persian, Hebrew and Greek. has
produced a translation which the lead
ers Of Islam by a majority applaud.
Thus is 1t that the sacred tradition of
centuries is broken. = Constantinople
