No Berlin Orders.
Az no time has a German officer in
the service of the Sultan dared to ex-
ecute an order from Berlin-Berlin in
fact has issued such orders. When
the operations on Gallipoli did not suit
certain men in Berlin it was suggested
that Liman Won Sanders Pasha. who
was in charge OF them was to be recall
cd as head OF the German military mis-
sion. The German had the right to make
this suggestion, because Saunders
Pasha had merely been loaned to the
Turkish government and could be re-
summons to join the German army.
This Is the only instance in which the
German war office tried to influence
military affairs in Turkey. Enver Pasha
who perhaps, more than any other man
In Turkey, realized what the situation
on Gallipoli was. expressed himself as
highly satisfied with the services of
Sanders Pasha and Sanders Pasha
stayed.
In the adjustmen4 of this incident
Captain Human played an important
role. 1t is understood that he himself
was on the side of Sanders Pasha, be-
ing possibly the only man. at the Ger
man embassy who did not AXE the
view OF the Won der Goltz faction,
which was as powerful among the Tur-
kish officers as 1t was In German cir
cles.
The fact Is that Sanders Pasha is a
man with very much OF a mind. He is
direct, somewhat blunt. and tolerates
no interference. Now and Their a Ger
man officer in the service of the sultan
would lodge a complaint with Sanders
Pasha without bringing it first to his
Immediate CHk superior. Sanders
Pasha always took the view that it
made no difference to him whether an
officer was OF German or Turkish orr
gin and that no favors need be expected
by an officer, merely for the reason
that he was a German. This attitude
did not make friends in certain German
circles for the "Aleman Pasha' as San
ders Is known to the common soldiers
OF the Turkish army, who have come to
love him for his extreme 'impartiality.
Enver Pasha knew this and stood by
the commander Of the Gallipoii forces
through thicA and thin.
Hard Row for Germans.
1t cannot be said thai the Germans
have had an easy row to hoe with the
Turks. The Ottoman government Off
Gals and army officers are extremely
Jealous OF their rii1lts and prerogattves
and many a difficulty arising from a
non-regard Of this had to be straight
ened u by Captain Human. There
were times when he was the busiest
man in Constantinople, and when Cap
tain Won Haas, another officer of the
German naval base had to come to his
assistance.
Captain von Haas, Oorn in CONSTANT
nople OF an American mother. has been
in h banking business there for
many years and is especially valuable
to the German embassy and the Turk
ish government in matters of a non
military nature. He and Captain HUI
mann a W no reason to say that the
Germans had ~subjugated the Turks, be-
cause they had to ask too many favors
Of the latter.
Those doubling the absolute auton-
omy Of Turkey and its government after
a talk with Captain Human and Won
Haas should attend a war council in
STEAMBOAT, occasions which have made
Enver Pasha famous for his position
that he will take advice out no com
