h
' Dy WILUAM T. ELLIS.
Constantinople At the back of
every movemont u.ust bo men. The
transformation of Turkoy from n
modlaevnl absolutism to a constltu
tlonal governmont was not wrought
without human agencies. Who did it?
At tho time of tho constitution and
the revolution there wero atorlos of a
romantic secret committee in Paris,
with a chief possessed of greater
statesmanship and more dictatorial
lowers than any crowned head In
Europe. Tho present Paris commit
too is disgruntled and in opposition,
and It is rather generally admitted
that there was considerable romanc
ing about tho original committee.
Admittedly tho Voung Turk move
ment was a bit of successful oppor
tunism Its leaders were quick to
take advantage of favorable events,
which Is certainly nothing to their dls
credit. The men wero ready for their
chance when it camo.
i A German on Top.
But now, artor tho lapse of many
months, who la tho top man in Tur
key? Amid all the personalities hero,
which one towers above all others?
It is nono other than Duron von Uoe
bcrsteln, tho Gorman ambassador.
Ono searches In vain for this oranls
sclent, omnipotent Young Turk of
whom we read so much at tho tlmo of
tho passing or tho old ordor. Instead,
he finds behind tho forces at work
here this shrewd old diplomat, tho
ablest In Europe, who has within a
year recovered all tho prostlgc that
the German cause lost with the fall of
Abdul Hamid.
In domestic affairs, as well as in
foreign relationships the hand of von
Beeberstein may bo traced by those
whoso business it Is to know tho In
wardness of current events here. Since
thla wise old (Jerman is an extra
Turkish personality, perhaps It Is not
fair to consider him in looking for the
most iniluentlal figure in tho present
regime.
A Glimpse of the Sultan.
It is easlor to say who this man Is
not than who ho is. First of all, It
is not the sultan. Ho may bo elim
inated at the outset A high diplomat
wtio has had to converso with the
present sultan Baya that tho ordeal
is like talking to a wooden man. Ono
encounters various terms In the dip
lomatic circles to describe the nonen
tity of Mohammed V. Doubtless,
many of thesu aro exaggerated, llko tho
stories of his doyotlon to tho flow
ing bowl. Tho sultan sees no for
eigners, but anybody may seo him at
tho Selamllk tho weekly function
when he goes to tho mo3quo to pray.
With Abdul Flamld, this was an or
deal to be dreaded, and he sat cower
ing In his carrlago in a coat of mall.
Apparently his brother is glad to havo
this weekly outing, for tho poorest
hauial that totters over the Galula
bridge beneath his monstrous load,
sees more of llfo than does his Royal
Highness. Fin likes (ho pomp of the
lines of soldiers who line tho high
way for the short distance from the
palace to the iiiosiiue.
These soldiers aro part of the mod
ern army; on tho whole, well armed
and fairly woll sot up. Along with
thom ono sees the archaic, red-hel-
moted fire brigade, with tho long!
leather guards at tho back of their
helmets. Tho lancers, who are tho
sultan's bodyguard, aro plainly Mongo
lian, and ttuo tcllowa they appear. Tho
sultan, himself, Blares at the crowds
as the crowds ntaro at him, or aa a
countryman gazoo at tho circus. Ho
wears a fez, and but ono decoration on
his breast. His faco Is weak, with
puffs under tho eyes. His beard Is grey
and rather close crapped. Ho looks
for all tho wodd llko tho typo of ge
nial old New Kngland no'cr-do-vell,
whom ono may seo sunning himself
outside tho house, or sitting on a
cracker box in the corner store, while
his wife runs tho family affairs.
Tho day 1 saw tho sultan an Amer
loan girl In tho carriage nest mine
was aiming a caraora at him. He
was attracted by Urn fiuah young fig
ure, and obligingly turned his face
toward her and smiled and then
kept on smiling and craning his nock
toward her llko a gay old flirt. It was
not very dignified or royal, hut it was
decidedly roreallng, especially when
one romembern that this man is "King
of kings," "Commandor of the Faith
ful." and "Tho Shadow of God on
Garth.' Incidentally, ho is a political
cipher.
The Prisoner of Salonlea.
Nor is Abdul Hamid any longor a
possible factor in Turkish affairs.
Wild rumors fly around occasionally
if hla escapo from hla Imprlsoiimpnt,
in tho garb of a woman sorvant, and
of his being at the bottom of revo
lutionary plots. This Is tho last of
tho contingencies that tho present
government has to faco. The best
advised say that, while Abdul Is mo
rose and sleepless, ho nono tho less
is too fond of llfo to tuke any chances
with this committee. His supremo
passion is to be permitted to dto a
natural death, For a generation ho
ha3 boon haunted by tho nightmare
of a violent death.
Now ho in guarded by the most
trusted repreaentatlvoa of tho commit
tee of union and progress. I am told
by ono who30 knowledge of Turkish
affairs has protcd correct on othor
points that tho Jailers of Abdul Hamid
aro men who havo blood feuds with
him whoso relatives tho deposed
sultan has slain and who would bo
glad of an oxcuso to squaro their ac
counts with him, Moroovor, Salonlea
Is tho center of Young Turk senti
ment, and tho most difficult soil for
ho growth of a reactionary plot.
That tho common peoplo expect nev
er to seo Abdul In power again Is
shown by tho way tho press and the
public derldo nnd detest and make
eport of him, Tho meanest loafer in

tho sidewalk cafes Is free to curso tho
memory of the prisoner at Salonlea
A popular postcard In the shops rep
resents tho prison beguilements of
t!o late sultan. It Is a portrait cun
ningly crented by the grouping of suv
oral houris, and a vision of tho
mosques and palaces of tho Hosphor
us within the tarboosh. Tho harmless
diversions of th litrem are all of his
former glory permitted to Abdul
Hamid.
Is There a Man of Mystcry7
One snrchoR In vain for substanti
ation for tho early tales of the wonder
ful dictator In Paris, who, unknown
himself, rules Turkey through tho
cejimlttoo of Union and Progress.
There is no really great personality
on that body. Not all of the members
nro known, however, although all pos
sible members have been appraised.
i hr is an Arabian Mights' flavor
to the situation in Constantinople to
day. Tho real head of a department
may be a man In tho outer office. The
cablnot minister may be subject to
his secretary In the anteroom. Tho
Inner clrclo of the Young Turk com
mltteo Is made up of men who, for tho
purpose, occupy plnces high nnd low.
Some of the members of this Inner
clrclo aro in office, some aro absolute
ly without offlclal position. Tho com
mltteo has a penchant for putting for
ward tho men who look n part and
who will fill tho role of popular he
roes. This is tho anomaly of present-day
Turkoy. Tho committee of Union and
Progress is supposed to have dis
solved and pnsscd out of existence
It really runs parliament an Incon
gruity which makes constitutional
government seem llko a farce. Fur
thermore, not all of tho figureheads
who thomsolves understand their lack
of power can enjoy this empty show,
and they aro one element of weakness
in the new order.
A Masonic and Jewish Body.
Rverybody In Constantinople seems
to know that tho committee which
overthrow Abdul Hamid and broi'ght
in the new day for tho empire Is real
ly a Masonic organization. It differs
from tho masonry of tho west In that
It is non-religious the name or tho
Dolty is not mentioned in Its docu
ments. It Is affiliated with tho Ital
ian masons and not with tho Urltish
or American": This fact has incurred
tho special hostility of orthodox Mo
hammedans, who dislike tho Masonic
The Sultan on a
order even more than they detest
Christianity. This fact may be borno
la mind in any study of present con
ditions, for It Is likelier to bo a factor
in tho developments than some more
apparent causes.
Another charge brought against tho
commlttoo of Union and Progress ia
that its membership is largely Jew
ish. Here ono must try to master a
strange condition, possible only in
this romnntio east, where tho improb
able and tho incongruous aro matters
of overy day. This particular story
hurksi back more than tlOO years, when
tho son of a Salonlea rabbi announced
himself as the Messiah and got a con
siderable following. His cause was so
portentous that lie was arrested and
taken before the sultan, whero, in his
extremity, he renounced his claims
ami accepted Islam.
So great was the confidence of his
followers In this Messiah, that they
too obeyed his load nnd became Mos
lems. During the ensuing centuries
they have remained a distinct commu
nity, with their own mosque. They
nc-or Intermarry with other Moalema,
and tho genuineness nnd depth of
their fidelity to islum is a subject of
scepticism among the faithful Cer
tainly this Moslem-Jewish community
has furnished somo of tho most ng
grcsslvo men In the empire, and far
more than its proportion of tho lead
ers of tho Young Turk movement.
The Military "Dictator."
I have Interviewed many of tho lead
ers of tho Turkish government, and
shall havo occasion to quote some of
thom. Hero It must sufflco to give ns
representative the one most pictures
quo flguro In tho government Mali
tnoud Sheykot Pasha, tho minister of
war, tho supreme commander ot the
Turkish armies, the "Saviour of Con
stantinople" and tho man who has
frequently been said to bo tho real
dictator of the present reglmo in
Turkey.
Ilenlly, Gen. Shevket is practically
subordinate to one of his own aids
and associates. Ho is not in the In
ner circle of the committee of Union
and Progress, although a genuine
Young Turk. It Is perbapB an incon
slderato way of putting tho case, but
I urn credibly luformed that ho is
only a sort of puppet In tho bands
of stronger men. However, ho looks
tho part of a popular Idol. Tall,
bearded, with small black eyes that
flash, ho Is a veritable Beau nrummel.
Ho could readily bo a cruel man and
a dictator If ho had tho power, else
I misread physiognomy. While we
talked ho twirled his noso glasses by
tho handle, or rolled thom on his fb
gors, or twiddled his noso tho right
sldo of which bears a largo vaccina
tion mark. Frequently ho tilted aside
hla green aBtrachan fez and scratched
his iron-gray hair.
Ho Is a charming gentlomnn to
meet, and ho spenks with an apparent
outnness that would disarm an un
sccptica Interviewer, lie told mo In
all earnestness and apparent sincerity
that thero was absolutely nothing in
tho rumored agreement between Rou
mania and Turkey, although I had
other moro trustworthy Intormntlon,
which history has since confirmed,
that tho deal had been made. Ho
speaks with the greatest optimism
concerning the future of tho now
regime. Tho financial revenues In
creased by thirty-three million francs
during the first year and, because of
better methods of collection, a still
greater Increaso will probably be
mado during tho presout year., Tho
situation throughout tho provinces,
ho snld, has very much improved, the
turbulent Albanians havo been paci
fied and disarmed. Paronthetlcally, I
may remark that ono who snw tho
arms tho governmont took in, says
that thoy aro only fit Tor u museum,
nnd that the rlllea and revolvers
which can really do business aro still
within reach of tho warllko Albanians.
Shovket Pasha says ho thinks tho Al
banians will bo a valuable asset vo
Turkey when enrolled In tho army,
and ho spoko mo3t magnanimously
of their defoat by tho Turkish army
sent against them. Ho said they lack
ed good leaders and organization, nnd
were overwhelmed by tho mass of gov
ernment troops. Ho looks forward to
150,000 troops from Albania now avail
Able. Moslem Versus Christian.
When we got to talking about tho
possibility of further troublo between
tho Moslems and tho Christians, ho
naively asserted that it was the Mos
lems who were in danger from tho
Christians, which would explain why
Christians rather than tho Moslems,
are being disarmed.
He snid that what is being dono In
Albania in the way of establishing a
suitable government with law and or
der, Is Icing carried out also among
tho Druses. Thero Is a reasonable
percentage of Christians now In tho
army, according to the-now ordor, and
ho says it Is unthinkable that there
should ever again be strife between
Islam and Christianity. Tho first busi
ness of Turkey is tho development ot
her army for tho sake ot iaw and or
der throughout tho country, as well
as in tho dealings with other nations.
He stressed tho idea of a strong Turk

but he looks forward to no Immcdiato

armed eventualities with any other
country.
The Government's Many Critics.
So much for one cablnot minister's
view. That ho and many like him, In
office nnd out, are real patriots can
not be denied. Thero aro many dis
affected persons in Turkey and for
various reasons, sdmo of them obvi
ous. The foreigner is displeased, ns ho
chronically Is with any government
carried on by those whom ho likes to
call his inforlors. There aro various
portentous elements of disintegration
at work In the empire. I question
whether it will over be possible to
have a homogeneous nation here.
The new order or things has brought
in a now restlessness among all class
es of people, and Turkey, bo it ever
remembered, is a hodge-podgo of na
tionalities. On one occasion I count
ed at least fifteen distinct and differ
ent peoples that go to make up this
strango government. Tho Turkish
Bhlp of state was never so difficult to
navigate as just now.
