New York. July 10.-The opinion
that the new sultan Of Turkey, Mo-

and disposed to. an understanding
with representatives Of the allies, was
expressed by salih Bey Gourdji,
former president of the Ottoman
telegraphic agency, now a voluntary
exile from Turkey. He said that in
1914 he knew the present sultan per-
sonally when he was Prince vahid
Eddhine, brother of the dead ruler.
II cannot be sure that his ideas
have not changed since 1914" said
Mr.. Gourdji, "but knowing him as
do. am perfectly sure that he will
not be the man to follow blindly the
orders of the committee of union and
progress as his predecessor did. He is
not fiurehead. I am also convinced
that he is today the most anti-G German
Turk in the Turkish empire"
