They had wrested power from tlie other factions by a deed of violence, This eouu d' etat hud taken nlace on January 2tl, 1913, not quite a year before my ar-. rival. At that timo a. political firoup, headed by th venerable Kiumll I'asba, us Grand Vizer, and Nazlm Pasha, as Minister of War, controlled the Government; they represented a faction known as tlie "Libera! party," which was chiefly distinguished for its enmity io the youiig Turks. These men had fought the disastrous Balkan war, and, In January, they had felt themselves compelled to accept the advice of the European powers and nurrender Adrlanople to Bulgaria.

The young Turks hud been -outside the breastworks for about Hi i mouths, looking for an opportunity to return to power. Tho proponed surrender of Adrlanople apparently furnished them this opportunity. Adrlanople. was an important Turkish city, and naturally the Turkish people regarded the contemplated surrender as marking still another milestone towards their national doom.

The weakness of the Sultan particularly facilitated the ascendency of this committee.

We muBt remember that Mohammed was not Only Sultan, but Caliph -not only tlie temporal hilt also bead of the Mohammedun Church. As religious lender lie was an object? of veneration to millions of devout Moslems, a fact which would have given a strong man in his position great influence in freeing Tur key from its oppressors. 1 presume that even those who had the most kindly feelings toward tlie Sultan would not have described him as an energetic-, masterful man. It Is a miracle that the clrcum-stances which fate hud forced upon Mohammed bad not long since completely destroyed him. He was a brother of Abdul Tlamld Gladstone's "great man who ruled by espionage and shed, and who bod no more consideration for his own relatives than for the massacred Armenians.

Indeed, they had already given blm a sample of their power, for the Sultnn had attempted on one occasion to assert his Independence, and the conclusion of this episode left no doubt as to who was master. A group of thirteen 'conspirators anil otner criminals, some real ones, -others nlerely no lltieal otfeuders, had been sentenced to be hanged. Among them was an imperial son-in-law.
