TURK OFFICERS
GET HIGH PROFIT
Times Writer Relates of In
teresting Conditions in
Constantinople

London, Dec. 9.-(British Wireless
Service )-The matter-of-fact way in
which the British are taking up their
work OF setting affairs in order at
Constantinople is, described by the
correspondent Of the Sunday Times
with the British naval forces in the
Dardanelles, ID writing under date Of
November II.
AT the present moment" he says
zone iB suffering here from a feeling
Of anti-climax. The British In theiI
calm unromantic and methodical
way have entered the great and his
torical city which has suffered in its
time so many romantic and bloody
sieges and captures, and they have
settled down to their business with
an almost complete Jack of trumpet
blowing or military show OF any
kind.
Huge Fortunes.
"The amount of exploitation and
proflteering that has gone on here
throughout the war is colossal and
has resulted in huge fortunes being
made at one end Of the scale and
the inflicting OF abject proverty and
starvation, particularly in some OF
the outlying districts, at the oher.
Enver Pasha is said to have become
so times a millionaire in Turkish
pounds. He has bought property
extensively and has placed great
sums abroad in Switzerland and
elsewhere, but the arm OF the allies
should be long enough to see that
he Is made to disgorge.
Prices Fantastic.
"a certain minor official now In
prison who was made food commits
sioner cornered everything immed-
lately and doled out supplies at an
appreciation of something like 1000
per cent, opening shops OF his own
wherever he found it necessary or
convenient. The result Of these and
other machinations is that prices
have borSded up to fantastic heights.
There is apparently very little
real shortage Of anything and it is
a common saying that anything can
be obtained in Constantinople pro-
vided you have the money"

the American army, totalling $780,
900 letters left France between Nov.

OF the American expeditionary force

Dutch Paper
Condemns Bill
(By Associated Press.

London, Dec. s.-(British Wireless
Service)-The Nieuws van Demdag,
of Amsterdam, copy of which has
been received here, says it holds the
opinion that the former German en-
peror is responsible for the acts Of
his troops in Belgium and France,
for the ruthless submarine war and
the aerial bombardment of open
towns, and that, consequently, no
Dutch government with common
sense would allow Holland to be In
volved in war or have her food sup
ply endangered by reason OF acts of
friendliness toward the former mon
arch.
Another reason, the newspapers
say, why Holland should be relieved
of William HohenzoIlern's presence
as soon as possible, is that many
persons in Germany have not yet
abandoned the hope OF restoring the
imperial power.
