Turk Tells of 'TdeaI'
 Life of Belgian People

Amsterdam, October 1.-Diemel Pasha, who is known in Palestine as the best hated" of Turkish officials, has been making long tour of Ger- many, devoting his time principally to the inspection of naval establish ments. building yards and coast de- lenses. His withdrawal from his post as governor of Syria appears to have been dictated by German advisers of the Turkish government, the feeling being that his conduct had so angered the native population that his contin- uance In office was inadvisable. It ap- pears that on his return to Turkey he IS to be put in general charge of the work of rebuilding the Turkish fleet
 The Cologne Gazette publishes a long interview with Diemel, granted Just before his departure from Berlin He tells of his visits to. German head : quarters, to Belgium, 'sto the German grand fleet
 Of Belgium, he said: Life in Bel gium today is idyl1ic. People in the towns go for walks all day long, while Tn the country happy peasants are gathering in the harvest with the help of contented prisoners The fairy tale or the ill-treatment of Belgium is real- ,ty too grotesque.e
