turned to the city officials, in accord
anCe with custom. the procession con-
tinued to the cathedral. The special

Paris, July 4.-The death of the
sultan Of Turkey arouses even less
interest in France than the recent ru-
NOR of the ex-Czar's assassination. Dis
cussion of the succession Is academic,
Tor the foregone conclusion is that the
choice will be determined by Germany
IN favor of some tool who will take all
his orders from Berlin.
The death recalls the murder two
years ago of the Turkish heir apparent,
fussouf 1zzeddine. who was supposed

assassination was engineered by Ger
mans, who thus showed their usual fore
sight in getting rid in advance of a
