This sensation Of being constantly
under the eyes of the police produces
on the part of the foreigner here a
degree of caution. He never knows at
what instant a chance word which he
may utter may be overheard by a
secret policeman and in consequence
of which he may be charged with the
utterance of treason.
Only few days ago Colonel Leip-
sig the military atache Of the Ger

official announceent said that while
changing from uniform to civilian
dress in little railway station upon
his return from the Dardanelles, his
revolver had been accidentally dis
charged, the ball entering his fore
head.
There was scarcely a foreigner in
all Constantinople who did not see in
this mysterious death the elimination
at least in part Of his convictions
that sooner or later the Turks will
turn on the German officers now sta
toned at Constantinople. But aot a
single person in all Constatninople
once expressed this suspicion.

what everyone said to his most in

uttered might have been overheard
by secret police and the individual
