Woman “Called" Enver Pasha.

Enver Pasha, the most autocratic and arrogant of the committee of union and progress, was obliged to listen to the protests of Turkish women against the large number of casualties in the Dardanelles and Bagdad campaigns. He called together the bereaved mothers and reminded them that their sons were among the faithful in paradise, and that they should be proud and pleased to be the mothers of such brave patriots. One poor mother, bent wlth «age and beyond caring for herself, dared to cry back to the man more feared by Turk and Christian alike than anyone else in the empire: “Marshallah, effendi (May It please God, your excellency), that your mother may soon have this same pride and pleasure that we have.” — Barnett Miller, In Asia.
