The modern Army is lederd bone of the hone, flash of the flesh, of the people The i cantert in pain has largely risen out of the aeffetings and wrongs of the conscripts in Caba and Mells. Thousands of humble homes

were filled with their terrible stories: thousands of mothers caised Maura and the Jesuits Be- cause of them. As for the Turkish Revolution, it would have been impossible but for the movement among the Army officers. A thousand Abmed Rie s, fully enlightened and Europeansed, could not have pulled Abdul Hamid of the throne of the Caliphs.

For the moment he may have succeeded. But what has he does? He has shown that the working people and the Army sen really due organiza tion; that the civic and the military strelos io the modern State blind.
