MANY NEWSPAPERS PUT OUT OF BUSINESS

Constantinople,-No business has been hit much harder in Constanti- nople than the newspaper business, and every monthly, weekly and daily paper owned by foreign interests, with one exception, has gone under. Five still are published in some language other than Turkish, but four of the the five are Turkish owned
 The single exception to the disas- trous rule is the German "Osmanis- cher Lloyd" which flourishes de- spite the fact German as language is much less known in Turkey than French The new alliance brought about by the war is of course increas- ing the number of students of Ger man, and consequently the circulation, of the "Llyod." :"
 The first paper to succumb was the Levant Herald," published in Eng fish by a citizen of Malta. It was the last English paper to "hang on. ' The Monteur Oriental,o Turkish owned but French in language form ly had an English section, but this has long been given up.
 With Turkeys entrance into the war the French Stambul' went by the boards ,and in April it was fol lowed by the Zionist 'Jeune Ture,' ' a paper friendly to the entente allies, which incurred the wrath of the authorities. The latest to disappear is the "Turquie, originally publish ed in Italian and then in French. It had existed on suffeance for some time, and had been permitted to pub fish only the official reports of Ger many and Austria but no reports from other capitals.
 The papers that have witnessed the rigors of war or censoring authorities are the "Oscanischer Llody,' in Ger man; the "Moniteur Oriental,' in French; "La Defence," in French; "Die Vcrtcidghg,o monthly in Ger man and "Hilal," in French.
