When the aide-de- camp had trans
lated, the Associated Press CORE
spondcnt. on behalf of himself and the
others. expressed his pleasure of hav-
ing been granted an interview. TO
the repetition of this in Turkish HIS
Majesty listened attentively. nodding
in appreciation each time part or the
response had been translated
His Majesty would like to hear
from YOU the story of the operations
of the allies against the Dardanclles.
moro especially what occurred on
March u.s." said Saith Pacha. Make
the account of it as short and to the
point as possible"
For about Is minutes the Associated
Press correspondent gave n sort of pri-
vate lecture on he operation of the
allies. Now and then His Majesty would
put a question. What had been the con-
duct of his soldiers on the various days
had the population of Tchanak Kale and
Kilid Bahr suffered much what had been
the effect of the terrific noise upon the
mind of the correspondent-had he been
afraid? These were some of the things
that interested the sultan very much
II am convinced that the Dardanclles
when the story of the Dardanelles bonn
hardmcnt had been told. Tho brave
conduct of our troop, in the recent opera
tons against the strait permit me to
conclude that although the allies bend
every effort and employ every means at
their disposal. they will be unable to
achieve their purpose
Ills Majesty then asked Mr. Swing what
-
been. Mr. Swing related how while go
ng through the streets Of Tchannk Kale
on March IS he had been most unpleas-
antly impressed by the defamation of the
exploding shclls-15-inch affairs from
the Queen Elizabeth lie had been unable
to contol his nerves. said Mr. Swing, and
each time a shell had exploded he had
felt the uncomfortable desire to stoop An
old Turk had seen this and had come be-
side him to give comfort accompanies
gentle pats on the shoulder with the
words: "Yock, vock--K smet"
That Turk had in such an hour of
stress found time to comfort another
seemed to please His Majesty greatly To
some words to that effect the Sultan
added:
"Rut the man did not apply the
proper word, my young friend. We
use the word kismet only in relation
to the smaller events in life. If you
were eating an orange and one half
of it should fall to the ground Just
when YOU were about to put it into
/ your mouth that would be an occasion
for the use of the word kismet But
/ in matters of life and death it is more
appropriate to use the word 'kader.
! That word expresses exactly what the
old man wanted to convey. 1t means
that our fate is in the hands of a su.
pcrior force and that what is to han.
pen will happen. no matter what We
ourselves NAV do Tho idea is knnwr
among Won as fatalism. holievc II
