DANGEROUS TO
TR|FLE WITH
TURKISH LAWS.
And the Courts There Live Up
to the Letter so Far as For
eigners Are Concerned.


CoNSTANTlNoPLE, Sept. 4.-It IS
well these days in Turkey to heed the
law. especially military law. Euro
peans who have lived in Turkey long,
either fear or respect Turkish law and
court procedure. Most OF them fear
ed 1t in the past and fear 1t today,
because the abolition of the capitu-
lat:ons has made foreigners amenable
to the Turkish law and courts, and
neither of them are things to be
tr.fied with.
As an example Of what Turkish
military law is, the following should
suffice:
The Hilal Of recent date contains
tails laconic account.

another man of the group to whom 1 had ap
pealed for information. Some one called it
the gay house"
You'll hear them calling Copy! Copy!
was another piece of information. That
seemed rather strange to me- OF course, |
knew that Miss GlaspelIs husband, George
Cram Cook, was a writer, too. But it did seem
strange that they should be calling Copy all
the time. Was it, perchance, because they had
done newspaper work at some time, and that
call acted as a stimulus? l wondered.
After all need not have wasted any pre-
cious time asking the way to Susan Glaspels
home, because the driver Of the "accommoda-
tion," as the old numbering vehicle drawn by
two horses which goes up and down the
Front Street" is called, said laconically when
l asked him if he knew the house: Sure"
COPY! COPYr'
1t was Just as it had been described to me,
only nobody had told me anything about
little black kitten which was frsking about
in the yard Suddenly a voice called: Copy,
Copy, come here, Copy-cat,' and some one
ran out of the house and picked up the kit
ten. The mystery of the peculiar call was ex-
planned, and it was with laugh for my own
mistake that l introduced myself to Susan
Glaspell and told her l had come to ask her
"a lot of questions"
As soon as she had led me into the library,
a beautiful room lined with books which
showed that they had been read, and with
glimpse OF the sea from the windows with the
red sills and the window boxes, | put the
first question.
Define hdeLty?" Miss Claspell repeated
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-22

why, I don't believe ! can do that. You
see" laughingly, Il wrote a whole book to
tell what it was in one instance. SO | don't
quite how l can put all Of its meaning in
one sentence. Anyway l think perhaps one
trouble with things is that we're too given
to definition. There is something so static
ir defining a thing. 1t seems to place il alto
gether too much, doesn't it? Once l worked
with staff which wrote a dictionary. Per
haps that is why I don't seem able to have
an implicit faith in definitions"
But" l said, You must have a rather def
mite idea of what true fidelity is. You see in
your book Ruth Holland by the usual dehni-
ton of the word, was not faithful at all. She
ran away with another woman's husband,
she deceived her family and then, when she
could have married the man, she went away
from him. Hasn't any one suggested to you
that the title of the book is paradoxcal?"
"Of course. But that leads back. l think
to what said about definitions being narrow
ing things AS I said, don't claim to be able
to give definition, but it seems to me that
fidelity is dynamic not static thing. Ger
tanly it is something more than a blind &C
ceptance OF code OF morals. Also it is
something more than being faithful because
one once said one would be or because some
one else assumes one will be. 1t is GER
tain harmony with the living thing in one
To what or TO whom can one be faithful if
not faithful to ones self? Do you know?
I'm sure don't"
That sounds like the doctrine Of Netzsche'
and Stirner. Some people find their philoso-
ply rather hard"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-22
elity"---To Him, To Ones Self TO Whom?

have been. But do you know, the strangest
thing has been the way people of varying ideas
of life have commended the book9 Nearly
everybody has thought l was on the side OF
the angels-the angels in which they believed,
of course. I've had letters from people who
wrote fattering words because | had, accord
ing to their notion, arraigned marriage. I've
had other letters from people who said they
glad to see that l had proved that the
old morality must be saved One reviewer
grew quite peevish, even said there was no
telling on which side l stood He meant that
to be scathing, of course. Wouldn't he feel
bad if he knew that sentence pleased me'
Tten of course we talked about women. l
didn't make Miss Glaspell state any credo,
That she believes women should be economi-
cally independent, have a right to their own
names after marriage if they wish them, ex-
press themselves as fully as men express them
selves-her own conduct proves all these. But
there were other things we had to say about
women.
Women are especially interesting, it seems
10 me-" came her answer. because we are just
beginning 10 know what women really
We've always known so much more about men
than about women. Why. men have told us
about themselves Also they've told US about
women-or at least they have told US what
women ought to be. Oh. don't think I'm blam-
ing the sentimental Oscillations we find in so
much fiction altogether on the mem I am not.
Women have thought for too long that they
must be. or at least appear to be, what men
wanted them to be. But that day is passing
away, I'm sure"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-22

"Of course they do. But why? Because
so few people have been willing, or perhaps
able, to face the facts of life And for this
namby-pamby quality think our fiction has
been partly to blame. Have novelists, most
of them, given true pictures of life, or have
they given dstortions-had their characters
do what they would do or what it con-
sdered correct they should do?"
ITO come back to fidelity" said Miss Glas-
pell. 1T seems to me you haven't anything to
offer any one else unless you animated by
an inner fidelity to yourself Of course, that
isn't startlingly new. When you were little
girl in school didn't you learn what Shake
speare had to say about being true to your
self"
And Their it needs must follow as the
night the day" l began to quote, and we
both laughed.
"Self-sacrifce has oeen glorifed too long-it
is often only form of paralysis. Here again |
think fiction has great deal to answer for
Writers have felt that their characters had 10
be noble, and that kind Of nobility was easy 20
put over. if you'll let me that slang phrase
Novelists, especially think in America. have
been too afraid of introducing any damaging
evidence-unless, OF course, it was about the
villain I've had people write me about 'Fidel-
ity' and ask me if | thought Ruth did the right
thing. always It seems so hard to make some
people understand that when one writes novel
one is not necessarily approving or condemn
ing any one.
But other people have been shocked, haven't
they
YES" said Miss Glaspell, some of them
