The Germans. however. were about
the only people who were enjoying
this proceeding, The Tequisittoning that
accompanied the mobilization really
amounted to a wholesale lootlng OF Inc

the horses, mules, Calnels, sheep; COWS
n other beasts that they could Jay
their hands or; Enver told me that
they had gathered in 10000 animals.
They did IL most un~intelligentlN, MAX
ing no provision for the continuance
Of the species; thus they would leave
only two cows or W mares IN many
of the villages. This system OF requisl-
tioning, as I shall describe, had the
inevitable result Of destroying the ma
TONS agriculture and ultimately led
TO the starvation Of hundreds OF thou
sands Of people. But the Turks, like
the Germans, thought that the war
was destined TO be a very short one,
and that they would quickly recuperatc
from the injuries which their meth
DDS Of supplying an army were caus-
ing their peasant population. The gov
eminent showed precisely the same
shamelessness and lack of intelligence
in the way that they requisttioned ma
terials from merchants and shopmen.
These proceedings amounted to littIe
less han conscious highwaymanship.
But practically none of these mer-
chants were MoslcmS most Of them
were Christians, though there were "a
few Jews; and the Turkish officials
therefore not only provided the needs
of their army and incidentally lined
their own pockets, but they found a
religious JOY in pillaging the infidel
establishments. They would enter a
retail shop, take practically all the
merchandise on the shelves and give
merely a piece Of paper in %acknowl-
edgment. As the government had neV-
or mid fnY tho G11nnlRE which II hH0

the merchants hardly expected that
they would ever receive anything for

many who understood officialdom and
were politically influential did recover

came Of the remaining 80 per cent Is
not q secret to those who have had
experience with Turkish bureaucrats.
Thus for most of the population
requisitioning simply meant financial
ruin, That the process was merely
pillaEing Is shown by many Of the ma
terials which the army took, oStensibly
for the use OF the soldiers. Thus the
officers seized all the mohair they could
find; on occasion they even carried off
women's silk stockings, corsets and
bahy's slippers, and ! heard Of one
case in which they reinforced the
Turkish commissary with caviar and
other delicacies. They demanded blan-
kets from one merchant who was IA
dealer In vomen's underwear; because
he had no such stock they seized what
he had. INC he afterward saw his ap-
propriated goods reposing in rival es-
