under his regime. The victims of these
atrocities numbered about 100000.
Here is a passage from Adults diary
which shows how he regarded the
non-Moslems of Turkey:
"The sole reason for our misfor-
tune is that our empire is not unit
with united religious element. This
is because we have so many Chris
tions within our boundaries. Such a
situation is bound to make for dis
union, Just as it does elsewhere. Diff
ferent religions in one country work
out badly: an example OF that is pro-
vded by the German empire. The
stability of the national building
must necessarily suffer if within.
there are bitter rivalries engender-
ed ,by divergent religious beliefs.
"What great peoples were we when
the Christian hordes, cloaking their
eagerness for booty with the hypo-
critical preteXt of the liberation OF
Jerusalem, fell upon our land with
fire and sword in order to despoil it.
If we are again to find ourselves. II
we are to regain our pristine power,
if we are once more to have golden
age. we must keep in mind the springs
of that old-time power
1t would be most curious revul-
sion if England and Russia should
mt Abdul back on the throne, for he
blamed them himself as being the
power behind Enver Bey's successful
revolt of 1909.
Certain it is the allies would con-
slider it their duty to curb Abdul Sc
verely, if he is made a puppet mon
arch. He can never resurrect his
elaborate system of espionage and as
sassination. He can never again COL
lect the tens of millions in money and
Jewels which the search of Yildiz XII
osk by the Young Turks disclosed. His
wives are most of them scattered
from one end of the empire to the
other, many of them now married to
the high Turkish officials.
He still kept about a dozen wives
of various ranks. They numbered
ten more until the "harem revolt at
Salonica. when almost half his mousse
hold expressed their discomfort to
the government SO strongly that they
were allowed to leave.
The eX-Sultan's latest laVorlte IS
young Circassian girl. Most of those
on whom he lavished his affections
have been Circassian women, as the
Caucasus prodce girls OF extreme
whiteness of skin and splendid !ea-
lures who appeal greatly to the
darker Turks.
The Sultana, or chief wife. and the
three wives of the second rank are
usually women of royal, or at least of
noble blood. They are partly educat-
ed in music and languages. The wives
of still lower rank are presented to
the Sultan on feast days, To- mem
bers of his court who are seeking
favors and for which some are ele-
waited to higher rank.
Some of Adults brides were be-
guiled, as was the case OF the Wis
countess Alma Zurok de Courlandon,
