In a despatch to-day the correspond
ent quotes an English speaking resident
of Constantinople who left the city on
March 81 as saying.

dares to speak about politics above n
whisper Your friends avoid you In
the streets to escape the necessity Of
conversation.

fectly normal. however" this man con-
tinues. The Turks naturally are en-
couraged by the sinking Of :he warships
Of the allied fleets which officially l. at
tributed TO Turkish gunnery and not to
their mines. Their realization Of the
probability Of the arrival Of the Allies
At constantnorie is shown. however, by
preparations that have been made for
the speedy transference OF the Govern
ment to Eskishehir. The banks already
! have sent much OF their money to Asia,
but belief in Turkey In the invincibility
of Germany Is unshaken. They expect
Germany to dictate the peace terms. and
say even II the Allies occupy Constant
nople We Will come ont all right in

The only thing lacking In CONSTANT
