34TH CALIPH IS
DRAWN OUT BY
NEW REGIME

The Caliph Abdul Medjid, in
whose hareln Miss Maud SVaddell
spent SIX months as goveffess to his
children. was the thirty-eighth sue
cessor of the prophet Mohomet and
the first of the caliphs to rule with
out temporal power.
When he was driven out, the ira
dition of 1900 years came to an
end.
The nephew of the Sultan Ma
homet. vi, deposed in 1922-the
last Of the sultans-Abdul Medjil
Effendi was heir to the sultanate.
He was invested in the office Of
4 caliph in 1922, assuming the sacred
mantle of the prophet and becom-
ing Commander of the Faithful, Vice
Regent of the Prophet, and the
Shadow of God on Earth, His pow
err. however, was only n shell, the
caliphate's old theocratic sway hay--
ing weakened. The Angora govern
ment abolished the caliphate March
4, 1924, and expelled the caliph and
his family, who went to sSwitzerland
in exile.
Abdul Medjid was virtual pris-
oner for thirty-fiye years before his
elevation to the caliphate. Euro
pean in manners, he disregarded the
Koran's prohibition of pictorial rep
resentation of the humun face and
figure and amused himself with
painting portraits.
The abolition of his ancient office
aroused discussion in the Moslepi
world. pretenders arising, and re-
moved any probability of the much
talked of jehad or hely2was.

Secrets OF The Last Great Turkish Hnrem Revealed

ish harem, it is no place in which to
be seriously i'll. One cold winter eve
ming q had been there five months
l became suddenly quite sick.
l WIS left alone, thinking of awful
tales of Turkish doctors who bleed their
patients. But l got word out. BY the
time my friend arrived that evening /
was quite delirious. During what lucid
moments / had that night / resolved
to come back and haunt the place. The
next day an English army doctor came
with an ambulance.
II Shall Be Sultan"
The process was naturally resent
full at the intrusion of the stranger
but my friend explained that influenza
was contagious. Two weeks later l sent
His Highness my resignation.
Even then my imperial employers
refused to believe that L was going.
Il shall be sultan--perhaps sooner
than you think" said Abdul Medjid.
'All will be changed. You shall have
your own English servants and every
thing as you like it."
Abdul Medjid was both right and
wrong. Shortly after my departure all
was changed. For brief hour half of
his dream was realized. The Sultan
Vahaeddim. Mohammed VI was desposed
and Abdul Medpid was proclaimed
caliph by the National Assembly at
Angora. At the same time the Assem-
bl ydid away with the temporal power
of the sultan and abolished the dynasty
which through the reigns of thirty eight
sultans. exercised mighty power.
And now l find my sympathies going
out to those women who are exiles,
the ex-caliph's wives.

When she came back her eyes were sad.
"No, mademoiselle. l wrong. Big

In the presence of the Big Princess,
the. secondary wives seldom spoke and
she rarely addressed them. They walk
ed behind her and seldom sat in her
presence. In the presence of Prince
Abdul Medjid they always stood, some
times whole evening. Each wife
kept to her own room most of the time.
i asked Her Highness what the women
Of the palace did to OCCUPY themselves
it was always the same reply, "Sit-

Besides the wives, there were about
thirty other women. They were sup
posed to be the attendants but they
seldom did anything. The wives were
all middle-aged, but the other inmates
ranged from fifteen upwards. There

He had to come through the harem gar
den. He was preceded by three or four
eunuehs. If they saw any women they
uttered yell and the women scrambled
to the nearest bushes.
One day, when was giving the prin-
cess her English lesson on the terrace
overlooking the Besphorus, the chief
eunuch warned her a piano tuner was

possibly dozens of men on the allied
battleships opposite the palace were
looking at her through their field

for the newly arrived officers. The
princess blushed How naughty you
are mademoiselle," she said She
laughed but suggested that we finish
our lesson inside.
To me the essential dreariness of the
lieve of all the women of the harem
seemed appalling. That poverty which
perhaps more than anything. else has
destroyed the Turkish harem did not
spare even the palace. Behind the
great rooms there were shabbiness and
neglect. Even in the official quarters

not eat the Turkish food.
My meals were served to me i'm a
private dining room with a Turkish
woman whom thought was a lady in
waiting but learned was the second
wife. She uttered no word except
when, having finished one dish, she
gave call like peacock and the serv-
ant brought her another. She was
