HAT night about four months | ago at Angora, the capital of Mustapha Kemal Pasha’s pro- visional, war-born govern- ment, the atmosphere was surcharged with a dramatic, slightly nervous un- dercurrent. For things were not going well with Turkey. It had fought and lost a great war. It lay mutilated and bleeding. The world at large was beginning to forgive and forget Ger- many's and Austrla’s sins, but there was no forgiving nor forgetting for Turkey. The world at large had ceased to talk about Belgian atroci- ties, but was still talking about Ar- menian atrocities. Kismet. fate, seemed against the Moslem. Where- ever vou looked, from western China to the hills of Morocco, the crescent ‘was humbled in the dust before the cross. There was France in Syria, Great Britain in Mesoptamia, Italy in Tripoli. There were soldlers of all the allied nations sporting their mot- ley tunics In the ancient. quiet streets of Constantinople. There was no money, no food, no credit, no hope, no future. Reported Enslaving Moslem. And now the hereditary foe, the Greek, with a pro-German king, had for some mysterious reason of Euro- pean diplomacy been appointed Europe's delegate in Asia Minor. The Greek was in control of Smyrna where, to believe the stories told by Mustapha Kemal Pasha’s spies, to believe furthermore MM. Pierre Loti and Claude Farrere and many other impartial French observers—he was enslaving and massacring the Mos- | lem and Jewish minorities, unchecked by European statesmen and European public opinion; the Greek was being furnished an abundance of cash and cannon by the British; the Greek was advancing into the interior of Asia Minor and marshaling his troops to conquer first Angora and then Con- stantinople: the Greek: had at his beck and call all the propagandists, sincere as well as mercernary, and therefore all the sympathies of the occident. The Greek seemed sure to win. ~ The Greek said so himself, loudly and frequently. Thus ran the gossip, the shivery rumors and babblings in Angora's bazaars and market places; and yet the dinner party that same night at Mustapha Kemal Pasha's residence was very gay and very cosmopolitan. Of Spanish-Jewish Descent. ‘There was the pasha himself, tall, still young, good looking, narrow hipped, wide shouldered, with gray, rather sad eyes that spoke eloquently of his Spanish-Jewish ancestry, for Kemal, like Enver Pasha, though an orthodox Moslem, is descended from those noble Spanish-Jewish families that, given by Christianity the toler- ant choice between death, conversion and exile, found asylum and happi- ness in the sultan’s domains—and with strong, high-veined hands, broad and flat across the wrist; the hands of an artist, a dreamer, yet, too, those of a doer, & man who knows how to clout his dreams, into facts, clearly, constructively, at times ruthlessly. At Mustapha Kemal Pasha's right sat a very great British general who had fought the Turks in the world ‘war, had been beaten and captured by them, and had wound up by be- coming their stout champion. Gen. Townsend, the hero, although van- quished, of Kuet-el-Amara. There were, side by side with Turkish of- ficers of many races, Osmanlis and Kurds and Albanians and Druses and Jews and a sprinkling of Syrian Christians, in their somber, black unifogms; M. Franklin-Bouillon of the French commission, who has for- gotten more about the near east than most people will ever learn; Herr von Berg and his colleagues of the German mission; a brace of un- classified, tweed-clad Americans, and & number of soviet officers and of- ficlals, all suave, well dressed and remarkable linguists, led by M. Kara- khan. There was finally an Indian Moslem, a gentleman of ancient and noble lineage, whc had given up high rank in the British-Indian army and high honors conferred upon him by the King-Emperor George V, be- cause he thought that Islam was in danger, that Christianity had decided to destroy the Moslem utterly, that it was time for Jehad, holy war.

But the music was excellent. It was classic European music, played by a rather nostalgic Vienmese or- chestra, living reminders of the world war's stupendous Odyssey, since Mustapha Kemal Pasha brought back from his years In Berlln, where He studied at the Imperial German War School after his graduation from the Turkish War College, the Lycee Im- tion and appreclation of European music. It is perhaps significant that Wagner is his favorite composer, and after Wagner, Debussy. The conversation among that cos- mopitan crowd. was mostly of war, past, future and present, and of the coilings and recoillngs of inter- national politics. It was good- humored, even humorous, except for an occasional remark, sardonic, pointed, gall-bitter, that dropped ;;‘nm the Indian Moslem's thin, ascetic Dps. 1i was the latter who, by one of the unclassified Americans why Islam mistrusted the occident and why the Moslems would not sub- scribe to the treaties of Versallles and Sevres and rely on Europe's fair mind and fair will, replied very brusquely in his native Behdrt language: “Gibar rakhe mans ke thati—would you keep meat on trust with a Jackal®” Fills Embarrassing Place. Silence followed the remark: em- barrassment; an epidemic of uncom- fortable coughing; a shuffling of un- easy feet. Then Mustapa Kemal Pasha rose and walked over to the Indian. ‘What 18 the matter, Syyed? demanded. “What happened which cannot be patience and faith?” “The Greek—' ‘He talks too much?

The Euro- peans were not quite sure how Mustapha Kemal Pasha would take the joke. The latter stared at the sugary Greek god with his sad, gra eyes. Then, very suddenly, he smiled, thinly, ironically.

But in Turkey the reality of it is more salient and, being a ‘wonderful attraction to the picked men of inferior races who in Amer-" ica and in England would be barred from high service through social or racial prejudice, it has provided the caliphs of the Ottoman clan with an endless supply of men of genius and ability. The history of the grand viziers and the great pashas of Tu .key is the history of men who, un- hampered by the obstacles of birth, cultivation or soclal position, have risen by sheer force of ability—in war and in peace.

It seemed that he mentloned war and a determination to carry on and suc- ceed. And the world laughed. It was a delicious, international jest. It was the very cream of the jest. Fight? And how was he going to fight, since he had no army, no money, no muni- tions, no ships?

Too, there was in his soul a certain bitterness to sharpen and poison the dagger of his resolution. Let us put it in his own words; words which he used at that time to an English friend of his: -~ “You have never had a decent word for Turkey. You have always lied abdut us, and believed your own lies. Let me.point out just.one instance: The Young Turk revolution, when we progressives pulled Abdul Hamid's teeth. You. the apostles of freedom and constltutional - government and half a doszen other assorted fetishes, what was your attitude then? You allowed Austris, your trusted steward of other people's property since the Berlin congress of thieves, to steal this property, belonging to. Turkey, the fertile provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You looked on calmiy while the Bulgar mountebank an- nexed Turkish territory in time .of peace. You passed resolutions, full of blatant hyprocrisies and lies, but you never raised a finger in our be- half, in behalf of that justice and humanity which you proudly claim as your birthright. You united in your endeavors to establish an independent and constitutionally governed Ru- mania, a free Serbi: modern Greece and Bulgarfa, and, more recently, an autonomous Macedonia, under the pretext that Turkey, being controlled with an iron rod by & despotic sultan and an intolerably exalted sheykh- ul-islam, was not fit to govern Chris- tion races. But you obstructed Mos- lim-Turkey's efforts to introduce and enforce the very principles of liberty and popular government which in former years you had been advocat- ing as a sine qua non in the admin- istration of your Ckristian proteges. ‘We have suffered long enough a series of deliberate moral insults and material injuries at the hands of sel- fish, canting, lylng Europe, and we are still capable of tremendous en- ergles when Islam is in danger.
