Z His Power Against
The Nationalists

Constantinople, April 13.-(By The
Associated Press.)-Sultan Mehmed
vi of Turkey has thrown all his
political ~and religious power into
the balance as final measure in
combating the nationalist movement
in Asia Minor.
Wrath of heaven and eternal
torments of hell" are called down
on the heads of all Moslems who
do not support the sultan, by Dur
rizade Abdullah Effendi, the new
Sheik-Ul-Islam. He excoriates the
nationalists and declares "all Mus
sulmen who kill nationalists will be
blessed by Allah and all who die
fighting the rebels earn eternal
glory hereafter"
Mobilization of the sulta1l's ad-
herelits has begun in the islands in
the Sea of Marmora and along the
shores of the Black sea.
There is little disposition on the
part of the Turks in this city to
Join the sultan's forces. They say

ing in Mustapha Kemal's army, and
they will lvnot engage in civil war.
