OLD STAMBOUL.`

TEK ERAL CAPITAL OF THE TURKS.

In view of the events in proximity to the Turkish capital mentioned in recent telegrains, the following article by Sir Philip Gibbs is of special interest.

In Stamboul the Young Turk has no chance of action and knows that any Nationalist rising would be crushed before it came into the streets. Con stantinople is quiet and safe so long as it is ringed round by the troops of the Allies. Not longer than that, guess, if I may read the eyes of men in old Stamboul.

Beyond is Stamboul, the real Con- stantinople of the Turks, with its great mosques and covered markets, the palaces of the Sultans, the gardens of the old Seraglio, and the maze of crooked streets with wooden houses and latticed windows, and booth-like shops, where the Moslemn population is dense, and unchanging Here in its habits and traditions. are the Faithful of the Prophet who? bow their beads to the dust when the muezzin calls them to prayer They from the high minarets.

THE GREAT NEED OF LIFE. Water is a great need of life in these dust-swept streets of the Eastern city, though there is never enough of it, so it seems, to attain the standards of Western cleanliness for body and house, where dirt and smells have harbourage. Through. the streets of Stamboul go water carriers, with tall pitchers of brown earthenware on their heads or shoulders, and round the wells there is always a crowd of red-capped men, barefoot boys, veiled or unveiled women, and girls, pushing, shouting while they fill their pots. In these narrow streets about the mosques there are many coffee houses and taverns, built of wood, with open fronts under latticed windows. Here are the houses of gossip where news is whispered from Anotolia and Thrace, and the places where the Nationalists are raising the banner of Islam and preaching a war against. the Christian.

There is an Allied censorship of Turkish newspapers, but it is of little avail in a city where everything that happens from one end of Asia to the other, or in the council chambers of Europe, is known, mysteriously and quickly, with sinister falsities for the infiaming of passion, in the bazaars- and coffee shops..
