CAREER OF TURK FEY
Glory of the Empire Culminated With
 Suleiman the Magnificent

From the American Review of Reviews.
 The strength and glory of the Otto man empire culminated during the long reign of Suleiman the "Manifcent.' 1h20-15ss. Ills empire extended from near the border of Germany to the fronties of Persia. It included, in ad- dition to what we of the this and the preceding generation have been accus- toned to think of as European Turkey that is. Servia, Albania, Bulgaria. Thrace. Macedonia, Montenegro-the whole Balkan peninsula--Greece. Rou- mania. and nearly the whole of Hun gary also The empire in Africa also was of immense extent, covering nearly all of the African which was then included within the zone of civilization. There was no state then comparable to the ottoman in extent of territory. in population and In the number of dif- ferent peoples ruled. The ottoman pow CT was the terror of Europe and of Asia, both on land and on the sea Twice did | the armies of the Turks reach the very walls of Vienna. As compared with Fur l key how small was England or France | or Germany,
 The time since the Ottomans first ap- | peared in human history till now, when | they seem about to make their exit from
 the world stage, is 6Ss years. The death of Suleiman falls almost midway--tha'
 is, the periods of growth and of decay
 are equal
 The break up of the empire, which we | think of as occurring little by little during the last hundred years, actual 1ly began when Suleiman was scarcely cold in his grave.

LEADING WAR NEWS
TeutOn Allies Kept So Busy
Elsewhere Have No Troops
For Serbian Drive

London, Oct. 26.-Obstacles strewn in
the path of the Teutonie allies on other
fronts are apparently responsible for
the slowness with which they are push
ing their way through Serbia.
These hindrances are in the form of
the French drive in the Champagne,
Russia's offensive, the Austrian losses
in Galieia, and the renewed onslaught
all along the Italian line, Because the
entente powers are thus keeping Aus
tria and Germany extremely engaged
the central powers apparently are un-
able to spare men for a drive through
Constantinople.
The German official statement today
claimed successes for the Germans on
various fronts, but none were of such
nature as to mean widespread progress.
Meantime, heavy allied reinfOrc-
ements are being sent from Salonika in
to southern Serbia Whether these in
clude English forces has not been dis
closed, but it is believed the British
are coming up on the trail of the French
already there.
Rumors that the Greek cabinet, under
Premier Zaimis, has resigned were cir.
culated today. 1t is believed that these
stories resulted from warning by
former Premier Venizelos to Zaimis
that the Venizelos party has the votes
to oust the Zaimis party, which has
been pursuing policy Venizelos disap-
proved.
Meantime, Sir Edward Grey an
nounced that the offer of the Island of
Cyprus to Greece had expired, as
Greece had not seen fit to take up her
arms in support of Serbia, and the al
lied cause.
What the next step will be, no one in
authority would reveal today, but Ath-
ems dispatches suggested that break
between the allies and Greece may be
in the air.
"'We felt bound" said Grey, "ow-
ing to Serbia s very critical position
to make every possible effort to OBJ
tain the only assistance Immediately
available.
Hence we offered Cyprus on the
condition that Greece give full and i'm
mediate support to Serbia against Bul.
garia."
Premier Asquith promised to make a
full statement on the war situation
soon.
