'RACE HATREDS FIRED | BY BLAST OF STILL Slums of Constantinople Scene of Disaster, Bringing on Diplo- matic Controversy. CONSTANTINOPLE (#).—A spark from a Greek bootlegger’s exploding dis- tillery, hidden in one of the old tight- packed slums of Constantinople, created a blaze which not only destroyed 500 buildings housing 1,000 Greek families, but threw into relief bold silhouettes of Turkish nationalistic pride and of Greek | | suspicion of all that is Turkish. The dames of racial hatred, thus ignitea after sanguine persons had felt they were extinguished in the new republic, have even affected the diplomatic corps. Because the French water company which holds a concession granted by the old regime- allegedly failed to suj ply water at the time of the conflagra- tion, the Turkish official organ, Miliett, has demanded that directors of foreign companies who were here under the old regime of capitulations should be ship- ped out of the newly independent re- public. Sir George Clark, British Ambassador, | was reported to have visited the scene | of the disaster and to have talked with a Greek priest, so the Constantinople daily, Aksham, owned by. another prominent Turkish Deputy, charged the Ambassador with pro-Greek and hence anti-Turkish sentiments. Sir George's unexpected reply that it was his wife and not he himself who had visited the | fire closed the Deputy’s own attack. The incident has had another effect, that of Tousing the ire of the Greeks and of some other embassies because Sir George did not reply to the attac! in some such terms as that he could and that he.pleased.
