Constantinople, April 10. "I ?un glad
you asked that question. This is not
a war of the Turkish government, but
I war of tho Turkish people," said
Knver Pacha, tho most remarkable man
in Turkey, who is, at tho age of thirty
three years, War Minister and <ien
eralissitno of tho Ottoman Army, to the
Associated Press corespondent in the
first interview ever given to tho Amer?
ican press.
"Undoubtedly the world finds diffi?
culty in understanding tant the Turkey
of to-day is no longer the Turkey of
the post, but that, nevertheless, is a
fad whirl, should be apparent to all
impartial observers," he continued,
ihowing meanwhile the enthusiasm of
youth, although it was almost in a
shamefaced manner that he admitted
his light burden of years.
The world's youngest commander In
chief typifies the Young Turks in in?
tellectual attainments and ideals. The
conversation with him was carried on
in German, and besides having a thor?
ough command of the Herman lan?
guage, he speaks excellent French.
Enver Pacha would bo boyish in ap?
pearance but for a rather heavy brown
mustache. Alert, frank eyes and pleas?
ing manners make him a delightful con?
versationalist. He has, moreover, a

handsomest man in tho Turkish army.

"What are the exact reasons for
Turkey's participating in the war."' he
was asked.
"You refer, no doubt," said Enver
Pacha, "to the assertions in the news
of Great Britain, Franco and
Ru ils that Turkey entered the war to
help Germany. That is very true at
this moment not when we mobilized.
To-day Austria-Hungary nnd Germany

"Long before we took this gtep Rus?
