courtesy of the Turk fighting man. A dozen
instances could be mentioned. Truces were sug-
gested by the Turks to allow both sides to bury
their dead dozen more Of occasions where Red
Cross flags and flags of truce were carefully re-
spected.
When the Turks were plunged into the war by
the Germans English business men of fighting age
in Constantinople Immediately offered their
ices to the king although amicable relations
with the Turks. In instance of these
EnglishmeIl who assigned to the fleet at
the Dardanelles as interpreter with the rank of
lieutenant was sent forward to meet Turkish
officer advancing under flag of truce.
Imagine the lieutenant'S surprise to find the
Turkish officer one of his respected friends of
Constantinople The truce quickly arranged they
chatted for few moments, and while the lieu
tenant was returning to his lines stray shrap-
mel burst near him. The next day profuse apOl-
ogy for the accident reached him from the sun-
Speakable'' Turk.
The New Zealand and Australian forces, them
selves no amateurs at the game of fighting from
natural cover, found much to learn from the
Turks, who as individuals showed great ingenu-
ity and craftsmanship in their ruses Often
Turk completely disguised a bush or small
tree by tying green's about him, picked off many
a Tommy before the game discovered.
At one point in the Amaze region Turkish
snper was giving the English some trouble, and
an Irishman, who good shot was told OF
two, at no great distance, took turns IN trying
to account for each other.
At last the Turk wounded the Irishman. Then
those who were watching the craftsmanship con-
test saw the Turk creep cautiously from his shell
ter leaving his rifle behind him. He crossed the
space to his enemy and assisted him in binding
up his wounds from the emergency kit with which
each British soldier is supplied. Then the two
men shared drink Of water and some smokes
and the Turk crept back to his trench.
It is d long, long way from the Turk "set in au-
thority' and entering into pacts with Germany to
the simpleminded individual sitting cross-legged
in coffeehouse smoking nargile reclining
by his "sweet waters" making kef or even fight
inc war in the trenches for cause in which
he himself is to lose, no matter which side
wins.
The Turkish government withal, is vile. Amer
lean residents in Constantinople during the con-
fiict have found the native newspapers full Of

"No nation could possibly have conducted war

Visitors to the hospitals of Constandnople nave
been almost mobbed by slightly wounded solders
in their eagerness to share the WHO mowers
brought in from the banks of the Bosporus When
the flowers are distributed the inevitable cigarettes
come next.
IF no other incident could be cited to banish the
adjective ssunspeakabIe" in connection with the
Turk the following related by an American VINO
served in Turkish hospital would suffice:
"a young Australian of twenty with nasty
shrapnel wound in the thigh, chanced 10 De the

course their motive evident, for the wounded
Turk is fbe last man in the world to give way to
his feelings under pain.
.1The Turkish doctor in charge was actually too
kind to the lad, for in his socitude to remove
every fragment of the shrapnel he kept opening
the wound every few days, until the boy could
stand it no longer and succumbed.
"He was buried with full military honors ana,
after the Turkish custom, the coffin was borne
mon the shoulders Of a squad for fully five miles
from Beylerbey to the English cemetery at Hal

say that such sporting proposition could not be
turned down by a true Britsher
from the very entrance of Turkey into this
world War-a step repulsive to a people already
heartily sick of being drafted into the ranks
the English press has taken different attitude to-
ward their Turkish foes than it has toward the
Teutons. cleaning of the leading periodicals
reveals countless incidents of the Turks chiv-
airy as fighters and above-board methods when
not under the direct observation of their German
officers.
Il have such admiration for the Turks" wrote
a British officer serving in Mesopotamia to the
London Morning Post" February T. "the pukka
Turks, l mean, not the Kurdish savages who
butcher Armenians or the Bagdad Turco-Arabs,
that / wonder more and more how they ever
came into the war at all. They did thing after
Ctesiphon that commands recognition.
"A bargeIoad of 300 of our wounded stuck in
the mud and with some medical personnel on
board had to be abandoned. The Turks towed
the barge downstream and under cover of the
white flag sent the whole lot, including the medi-
cal personnel back to the British camp unframed
in any way
81 know of two wounded British officers left
out the night after the battle who were found by
the Turks In both cases the Turks took away
all their equipment haversack, belt, revolver, pa
pers and field glasses but both men say they
were not harmed in any way In the of one
man they gave him water to drink, lOosened his
coat and made him more comfortable. They left
both for our people to collect the next morning.
1t is the Arabs who maltreat our wounded and
commit all sorts of atrocities
Recent dispatches from that far distant front
so brief as to escape general notice-have dis
closed the same attitude between the lines of
the meager official reports After the fall of
Kut-el-Amara the Turkish commander gave General
Towushend back his sword. Later reports an

geSted by the Turks
From another theater of the war where the
Turks have been fighting comes the story of an
incident Of the common soldiers attitude. In
letter published in the London Times of February
a British officer wrote from Saloniki:

out on IA reconnaissance in front Of the line where
there were number of Turks. The latter were
