sun, but the necessity of combatting pro-German influence in Constantinople may drive the Allies to this very thing;. Depend en Germans. tha Vaunt Turks hung their fate on

the German alliance. The Old Turks would rally all the anti-German elements in the empire around Abdul who in his diary, translated by AM

Babt Bey, has this to say oi tne eu tonic influence;

"My friend, the German emperor, eulogises tfcte progress achieved by our officers who are learned in German ways. I fear the emperor is greatly mistaken. .... A - 1.1 iki. AC!, t-

"Brilliant, no auuui, r iu monials, theee young gentlemen receive at the hands of their partners, the Prussian officers. But I happen to know that when the bouquets are

banded around yonder one eye is closed, maybe even both. For the

presence of these 'pachas' sons in Prussian academies is most flattering to

the pride of our German friends. "The old qualities of the Osmanlis. simplicity and self-denial are but too often lost sight of by our youths in Germany. What they do learnand well, toois immorality, drinking, etc.

Returning as Inflated windbags, they

After his last orgy in Ylldlz Kiosk, his labyrinthine palace at Constantino

ple. Adbul and a few selected wives in 1909 were shipped to Salonlca. where they were immured luxuriously in the Aljatlni palace and carefully guarded. Then came the Balkan wars. Abdul was brought back to Constantinople lor safety and allowed a certain amount of liberty. When Turkey was drawn into the war and the British. French and Russian ambassadors left the Turkish capital, bis treatment underwent a very marked change. Tb malcontents said on every hand that Turkey would never have been made Germany's catspaw If Abdul had remained on the throne, Realising the danger from the old tyrant. Enver Pasha and other Young Turk leaders are said to have had Abdul seised some time ago at night and conveyed under strong - guard across the Btralts Into Asia Minor. He was taken to some remote district. With the present distractions, it would be easy for a small group of hi? friends to fall upon his guard and free him. Reaalns His Strength, While Abdul was a prisoner at Salonlca there were rumors that be was in his dotage. But those who saw and talked with him when he came back to the scene of his former glories, found his mind was as lively as when his wits beat the nest in European diplomacy, while his imperial manner remained unimpaired by misfortune. Abdul is now 72 years old. He ascended the throne In 1876 at the aga of 83 and Immediately abolished the constitution. For thirty-three years he was a despot. At the inception of his reign he had to fight the Russians. His armies put up a stubborn resistance and when the time for signing terms of peace came he gained concessions considered little short of marvelous. ' Abdul got his bad name abroad principally from the Macedonian and Armenian massacres which occurred under his regime. The victims of these atrocities numbered about 400.000.

none the worse. Plight of Fleeing. With Clements and I, however, It was quite different We started to place called Artvin, farther back In the interior, a. here the Russian for

ces were supposed to be strong- We were compelled to keep to the bushes all the next day, practically crawling over the mountains. It was necessary several times to swim icy streams, and all the time we were without food, our clothes were thin, wet and torn, our faces and hands bleeding aud we slept two nights in this condition in the snowy mountains. Finally we reached the Choruk river, along which runs the road to Artvin, where we were headed. Being unable to get a boat to ferry us across the river we started to swim it, when suddenly, five Turks arose from the bushes on the other side. My friend was already swimming, while I was about twenty feet behind 6tlll wading In. They immediately, without warning, began shooting and I. of course turned and ran back into the bushes, but Clements continued to swim and when I looked out from where I hid, I saw his body floating motionless down the stream. J lay there for a while contemplating what to do. I

ually presented myself,. 1 was received most cordially, taken out to lunch and entertained grandly, but I was told that they bad no place for me at the time, but they took my address and were to notify me when ever I was wanted. I concluded then to go on down to Batoum which was my original destination. I first went to Moscow and then to Novoroslsk a port on the northeast coast of the Black sea, where I caught a boat for Batoum. This was the first of September and already the Turks, of which there are a great number in this section, were flocking on at every port, going back to Turkey in view of the probabilities of war between Russia and Turkey.

1 arrived in Batoum on the third

was nearly starved to -death by this time and a bullet had graced my ear, but food was what was worrying me most and I decided to trv one of the

Villagers for something, to eat and It

was not long until 1 found a Turkish

farm house and told them in my very poor Russian what I wanted, and . I was soon sitting cross legged on the

floor with a bowl of milk and a big loaf of coarse corn bread. : I think

I enjoyed that more than any food I have over eaten in my life, for I had been then three days without food. Returned to Danxoul. That night I slept In the same house, and the following morning, after a conference of the villagers I waa turned over to regular soldiers who took me back to the village of Dansoul, where the plant Is situated. There, of course the Turks all knew me and I was allowed the freedom of the plsce. r was surprised to find that only the native village had been destroyed and that the buildings of the company were Intact, although the houses and warehouses had been stripped of every thing. I remained there four days and had lots of valuable material put away and the doors and windows nailed up. In fact I was boss of the place for tha time being.

' X was given a letter by the Turkish chief at Dansoul which was supposed to show who I was and assist me In reaching Trebisond. where I

could get a boat for Constantinople.

To get to Trebisond I was escorted by a guard over the mountains in snow hip deep, taking two days to do It and finally reached a small port on the Black sea called Arkhava, and then when I found myself among strangers, things began to change. In Jail Over Night. Iwgs put In Jail, a, dirty, filthy place, and kept over night. The next morning early. I was taken out and down to the beach, where they had also brought the Russians whom they had captured at Dansoul. Five Russian officers and myself with guards were put into small motor boats, while the 100 or 160 Russian soldiers were loaded Into small sailing vessels. One badly wounded man was put into the boat with us. where he died a. few minutes later and was thrown overboard with a oan of water tied. about bis legs to sink his body. It was a gruesome funeral, for the sun was not yet up, and as he slipped over the side of the boat the officers and myself stood up. took Off our hats and crossed ourselves, while the Turks looked on. That crossing got their goats, for they fear the sign of the cross, being Mohamedans as you know their religion encourages them in killing Christians. In this same section of the country five years ago they massacred 50,000 Armenians on account of their Christian faith. We arrived nearly frozen that night at Rizeh. where we were kept over night and the following morning we proceeded to Trebisond, arriving there about four o'clock that afternoon. Marches as Prisoner.

prisoners. Each of us had a bed and a blanket. Our food, we sent out for. I had not worried up. until this time about being kept under guard, but when I reached . Trebisond -1 expected to be allowed to communicate with the American consul there and be allowed to proceed to Constantinople without any trouble, accordingly I wrote a note to the American consul on the first evening I arrived In Trebisond and. gave It to one of the Turkish officers to deliver, ex

plaining at the time what was In the; note. After I had gone to bed that night I was awakened by. several of the Turkish officers and they had my note and wanted to know what was in the note. I translated It to them In French, which language we used to converse and the chief wadded up the note and threw it back on my bed, apparently in a huff, saying at the time that he was the chief of the army there and that when I wanted any thing to speak to him and he walked out of the room. Red Tape. The next morning when he came up to have a look at us. I approached him In my most diplomatic way and gave him ray passport and asked him if I might speak with the American consul. He returned the passport that afternoon and said that there was no American consul in Trebisond and

that I was to be sent to Constantinople in a few days where I could speak to the authorities. I waited a few days and I saw the only boats In the harbor pull out and as boats are very rare on the Black sea now, during war I knew It might be a month before another neutral boat would arrive, so I began to protest stronger. For two different Sundays 1 ssw from the window the American flag waving over the Consulate, and so I knew they bad lied when they said that the Consul had left, I wrote letters in French and in English to the governor of Trebisond and the chief of the army there and they never replied.

and so it went on for eleven days.

when I saw walking by our prison three men dressed in European clothes. I ran to my window and shouted down to them. I was on the third floor. I called out "Do you speak English," and one of them shouted back, "Yes." Oh how good

that word sounded, and best of all it

was the American Consul, Mr.. A. S.

Nortrupp, from 34th and Rhodes Ave., Chicago, only four blocks from where I bad lived. He bad no idea I was

there, but he got busy right away and the next day I was at liberty.

'I remained In Trebisond eight days more when an old Greek tramp steamer came alone bound for Constantinople. It is really only a two days voyage, bat we stopped at every port and took, on cargo and refugees, about a hundred in all, consisting of Russian consuls and families and French Nuns and Priest. There were no accomodations for

passengers and we slept between decks on the cargo for 18 days. It was worse than the Jail. We arrived

off the entrance to the Bosphorus and

through a misunderstanding or signals were fired upon by one of' the forts, but thanks to their poor marks manshlp we were not hit and arrived at the docks In Constantinople a few

hours later, I had to wait seven days in Constantinople for a train, during which I visited the famous St Sophia church, built by the Greeks shortly after the birth of Christ and is the greatest edlfloe of its kind any where

In the world. It Is now used aa you

know, for a Mosque by the Turks. I also visited many other places of historical Interest I think Constantinople and the enviroments are the

most beautiful and Interesting of any place I have ever been. Visits Dedeaaatoh. , Leaving Constantinople I went to Dedeagatch, Bulgaria and arrived just too late to catch my boat and had to wait, there another six days. I sent you all postal cards from there; It is a miserable hole. It Is the port which Turkey lost to Bulgaria In the last Balkan war. I at last caught an Italian steamer for Brlndisl. Italy, you will find it on the map where Italy looks like the boot heel. We stopped at several ports in Greece. Among the roost Interesting was at Pireus which is about twenty minutes by electric cars to Athens. I stopped off at Naples and went out to Pompeii and saw the old burled city. In Rome I visited St. Peters and the Vatican, also the ancient Forum and the Coloseum. From Rome I joumied up through the superb Alps of Switzerland and over into France and Paris, where I only remained over night this time, for I have seen already all there Is to see in Paris. I was back In dear old London town the next evening. Mr. White In the meantime had recovered from his wound but be remained In Russia in hopes of getting some news of the company's property but in vain. I being at the plant seven days after the battle, was able to furnish full information as to the

amount of damage, so he came back to London. I ran Into him on the street about half hour after he had arrived In town. He threw his arms around me In the middle of the street and his eyes filled up, he waa that glad to see me. Since he arrived we have been quite busy for neither one of us had any clothes, having lost every earthly thing- we owned, and we have been busy buying an outfit and attending directors meetings, where I had to tell my story as above. Turks Held Property. The Caucasus Copper Co., Is financed by the London branch of the Morgan bank, consisting; principally of American capital, a very large sum I believe. Now the property is In the hands of the Turks and the owners fear that when the Russians attempt to recover the lost territory that the Turks will destroy the property if they are forced to evacuate.
