Despito all efforts and pretensions, there has never been an Ottoman nation—in « truly national sense. In 1910 of the thirty-six millions under the Sultan’s rule the Turks themselves numbered only ten millions, Anything like homogeneous national spirit lias heen no- toriously lacking. The old, highly-centralized government could show only @ long sinister record of mysterious court intrigue, violence and oppression. The new, remodelled and liberalized state has proved uncertain and disappointing.

For some generations his ancestors have been imitative rather than original or self assertive. They have adopted custome, languages and literatures of modern Europe. In education and mili- tary training they have shown eagerness to learn, and they have tried to bring more enterprise and skill to aid the great natural productive- ress of their empire., Moreover, everybody knows that the Moham- medan religion, along with its lees desirable teachings, has admirable tenets of honor and temperance. Novertheless the presence of the Turkish ruio in Europe is un- popular, precarious, alien—only possible because the.great nations arc perennially jealous and watch ohe another like cate. The Turkish rule is the rule of ai unwelcome oppressor over amaller peogles of different race, religion and ideals, who face a different way. The Turk is"not a European. Jenghis Khan was hie ancestcr and the wild nomadic Mongol blood is in his veins. Despite his mot- erniams he somchow still pula toward Asia. Macedonia, Servia, Bul- garia, Montenegro, his neighbors, and the former and present Chrir- Vian paris and dependencies of his empire, are all pushing along with Europe. He faces the other way.

Health Commissioner Lederle’s W appeal to Borough President McAneny to replace with as- phalt the present noisy cobblestones in the neighborhood of Health Department headquarters at Centre and Walker streets will cause q.stir of sympathy and forlorn hope in many another corner of the Sy. Nor is it noise only., To the average citizen the vagaries of atreet paving and repair of underground wires, pipes and conduits in New York are unfathomed mysteries of licensed confusion and perpetual inconvenience. Apparently there is no authority with power either to compel telephone, telegraph or lighting companies to do their work when it should be done or to protect a newty paved street from being torn up for aomebody’s advantage or caprice the day after it has beon laid down, Many people in this city would be glad to know the exact rules and ordinances regulating the digging up and relaying of streets and the length of time they may tie in a state of dismal chaos awaiting Some one’s pleasure to complete his particular part of the work. To mention only two typical instances. The Borough President : with commendable zeal planned the reasphalting of one of the “show” uptown districts of Manhattan, including Fifth and Sixth avenues and the cross streets between Fortieth and Fiftieth, Much of this work has been completed. For weeks this settion was a wilderness—he- eause, Mr. McAneny explained, all the underground services must be thoroughly overhauled before laying the asphalt. Then why, fhough reasphalted and made perfectly smooth only & few wecks ago, was Forty-fourth street east of Fifth avenue torn up again last week for the laying of wires, to be left with the usual ugly strips of rough cobbles running down either side? Why is upper Sixth avenue to-day exactly what it has been for the last five months—a horror of ragged paving stones and mud holes? What is the system? _—_—-+-——_—_ OCT. 14TH, 1066.
