DAILY EDITION. — — —— — Bad Mixup In Turkey. There is a bad mixup in Turkey, An effort is being made by Mohammedans everywhere to influence the Allies against break- ing up the Turkish Empire, and it must be admitted that the Mohammedans are still powerful and their inlluence is far- reaching. During the war, many of them fought for the Allies, but now the general food shortage is affecting them and they are restless like other people. It is probable that the troubJe in Egypt and other parts of the country is caused by the influence of those who are trying to save Turkey. It is also possible that the troubles are worse than reported. The Allies seem to be dealing with the problem with vigor, however, and Great Britain, the least detested of the powers, from the Mohammedan viewpoint, seems to be in charge in Turkey. Some Facts About Turkish Empire. In view of the present interest taken in Turkey and the small amount of information available in connection with that country, it may be said tHat the present Sultan Mohammed VI! is 59 years of age. He came to the throne in July, 1918, and the heir apparent is Abdul Medjid Effendi, uncle of the present sultan, who is only 50 years of age. According to the law of succession the crown is inherited by the male descendants of the sultan according to seniority, all children born in the harem, whether from free women or slaves being of equal heritage. ‘ It has not been the custom of the Sultans of Turkey for centuries to contract regular marriages. The inmates of the harem are taken by purchase or free will mostly from districts beyond the limits of the empire, and from these the Sultan designates a few to be called Kaidin or full wives. Form of Government in That Country. The present constitution of Turkey was adopted in 1876 by which freedom of person and property was supposed to be secured, judges were appointed for life, torture was abolished and, while Islam was declared to be the religion of the state, freedom of worship was granted to all, and all persons were eligible to public office irrespective of religious belief. Two houses of parliament were established consisting of a senate and champer of deputies, the former appointive and the latter elective. The constitution was overridden by Abdul-Hamid (The Damned) who built up an autocracy, but corruption and mis- government made the people discontented and as a result Abdul was deposed and the constitution restored in 1908. The total area of the Turkish Empire before the war was approximately 600,000 square miles and the population about 20,000,000, The smallness of the population is accounted for by the fact that a large part of the country is desert. Constanti- nople has a population of about a million, while Smyrna, Bagdad, Damascus and Aleppo each have at least a quarter of a million. The only other large cities are Beirut and Brussa, each with over 100,000 population.
