Turkey and Turkish Problems.
KK.V EDWIN IJALLOCK BVINGTON OF
BROOKLYN .IN THE CONGUEOATIONAL
IST. Part of my boyhood was 6pent in
Turkey, and I was in Constantinople
during the entire I!u?sc-Turkirh war.
As the Turki-h soldiers were driven
from the Balkans toward that city fear
was in every Christian household. We
expected that, when the Turks were
driven from their final stand behind the
fortifications', which lay a few miles
from Constant-: ople, they would break
rankj, rush for the Li .-port's and eager
ly seek refuge on the Axhttic side. We
knew that they wouid ue this as a
gulden opportunity to avenge them
selves on the miserable giaours, as they
contemptuously call all C hristians. The
city would be fired, the Christian inhab
itants butchered and plunder sought
thuc their ll'ghr, miglit 11 t b; empty
handed. A.i Aaiei eni uiun-of- .v;r w.ts ill tbe
harbor, and j.;ltri;ja u,i ul- A aiei icaue
in Bebok auii llUnar -hou d II y Co Hubert
College, where fl atcd the stars and
stripes and v. hither the. Wi.iUliH, was to
send a foice e-f uni' i J..-3 f r ur protec
tion. All iu Scu'-.M (he Asiatic
suburb of Coir-taiilii.opl-.-, 1 car the en
trance to the B jspuiu ) wore tu reek and
secure similar safety ia V.i.e Amerieuu
college for girls situatid in that locality,
and those living in the city pr per were
to make their way to tbe Vaudalia,
which lay not far from the Golden
Uorn.
As far as I can remember each day
father went to the Bibio Hou3e in
Stamboul and 1 to the college. Life
went on as usual. But we expected that
the emergency anticipated might at any
moment become a terrible reality. How
ever, it did not. E gl.d d's determina
tion that Russia should not enter Con
itantinople checked the advancing army
within ten miles cf the city. An
armistice was proclaimed, pending ne
gotiations. Duiing this armistice a party of us
visited ths Kussian army. We found
them
TALL, BROAD sriOCLDEKED, POWERFUL
LOOKING FELLOWS ;
well armed, havhig 11 le uniforms, com
fortable tent?, pK'.tciug liaises a boy's
ideal if soldiers. Yet the 1 fleet on us
was curiom. Vl-u remember the
woman who said that the mere she saw
of men the better she likid dogs. The
more we saw of the liussiatis the more
we admired the fighting qualities of the
Turkish army.
The Turkith soldiers we had seen
drilling in the public gardens at Bebek
had moved us to contempt small of
stature, round fchouldered, shuffling
along us they marched, often looking as
spiritless and woe-begone as the dogs so
plentiful In the streets of Constantino
ple. Of course the comparison bb
tween the two armies was unfair. We
had teen the fluwer of the Kuisianarmy,
the emperor's Life Guards, and the
Turkish soldiers were the last reserves
the young, the old, the diseased, the
puny, all pressed ltit.) service to meet
the emergency.
Still we never had seen any Turkish
soldiers whoe appearance resembled in
the slightest degree that ot these mag
nificent looking Kusslans. How could
there be any conflict at all between two
such forces? How dared, the Turks
stand a moment against th.V Russians?
Yet we knew they had. Tlw ? Russians
had anticipated a triumphal march from
the Danube to Constantinople; the
world expected it; any one looking at
the two armies would have prophesied it
without fear. But is was not so.
Kuseia's advance was slow. Again and
again her armies were checked. You
remember Plevna, before whose fortifi
cations thousands of Russians fell?
What a struggle they had to pass the
Balkans. The opioion afterward sprang
up among us that bad the Turkish army
been properly officered the Russians
never would have crossed the Balkans.
It was said that Bomelimes, when the
officers ordered a retreat and fled them
selves, the soldiers kept on fighting,
even victoriously. The stubborn resis
tance of the Turks was the more re
markable became they were fighting In
what was practically a foreign country.
They weie In Bulgaria, a province of
. - - ."L. W-JX -2
their?, but tbe Bulgarians hated them
and joyously welcomed and aided the
Russians as their deliverers. So we
wondered why these splendid Russian
soldiers bad such difficulty in thrashing
these miserable little runts who marched
under the star and crescent. What was
the secret of their brave battling? The
answer is fanaticism.
Christian countries know practically
nothing of fanaticism. It is zeal with,
out knowledge, which Christianity for
bids. Fanaticism dethrones reason, im
prisons jud;;ement,banlshes fear,ilence8
mercy. For its war horse fanaticism
chooses the whirlwind, it throws away
bit and bridle, it sharpens the spurs, and
rushes on with Its destructive fury
alike against an army with banners and
the shrinking, unarmed village peasants.
I myself have heard in the weird chant
of the howling dervishes the slumber
song of fanaticism, but theRussiars
heard its battle cry, as did Christian
armies centuries ago. Where fanaticism
has appeared in Christianity it has been
a parasitic growth, but it Is the flower
and first fruits of Mohammedanism.
Fanaticism is self-forgetful perfectly
o but it is the self-forgetfulness of
madmen. The Turks are fanatics and
therefore fighters. Give them equal
rquipments, training and opportunity
and I believe that a thousand Moslems
will conquer a thousand Christians every
time, and, all other things being equal,
1 think the chances would be that a
triousand Moslems wou d put to flight!, ,.. r .
s f Christian Protestant country must needs
2,000 Chi inians
The explanation is plain.
TUE TURK FIGHTS LIKE A MANIAC.
We all know that if a man becomes vio
lenily insane it requires three or four
men to hold him. ' It is not moral cour
age, it is not physical courage, it is
madness. So is the Moslem with his
unsheathed sword, knowing neither
mercy nor fear.
It is this element of fanaticism which
makes the Turkish question so difficult.
It became visible In the Rusao-Turkish
war and in the Armenian massacres, but
tc-day, though less conspicuous, it is
equally present as an energetic force and
as the supreme factor in the problem.
Close the escape valve and the rushing,
roaring steam ceases to startle, but the
pressure within the boiler is still tre
mendous; the fire is not out; something
may happen at any time. Fanaticism is
an unfamiliar element to the European I
statesman. It upsets all his calculations. I
It is a fourth dimension in space, and
logic does not hold; cause and effect can
not be relied upon. Causes which would
produce a given effect on a Christian
sovereign may produce the opposite on
the sultan. Motives influencing other
nations are nothing to the Turk.
We all have been stirred, and justly,
by the outrageous treatment the Arme
nians have suffered at the hands of the
Turks. There is a cry, Why does not
England act? Why does not some
Christian nation rush to the rescue?
Suppose England should send her war
ships through the Dardanelles to Con
stantinople. Let her take possession of
that city. Would the problem be
solved? Not in the slightest degree.
What wonld happen ? Remember that
Constantinople is not the heart of the
Moslem power. It is on the extreme
northwestern rim. It is the strategic
point of eastern Europe, but is not the
strategic point of Asia. Armenia is
many miles away. Let the sultan fly
from Constantinople, where would he
flj? Probably to Armenia. Armenia
would be shut off from Europe. Aid it
would take Europe a long, long time to
conquer the sultan there a task more
difficult than Spain's in Cuba, than
Russia's war in Bulgaria. The country
is mountainous and inaccessible; the
Moslems form a large portion of the
population and are the only armed in
habitants. The Asiatics who fought for
a bit of Europe would be terrible foes in
fighting for their homes. Drive the
sultan out of Constantinople, and tbe
horror goes from the European Bosporus
only , to brood more fearfully over
Armenia. ...
What if England, determined to ac
complish her aim, pres3 on to -Armenia?
Retreating armies burn food, cattle,
buildings, that their pursuers may find
no spoil for sustenance or triumph.
What are the Armenians to the Turks
but dog 4, and gladly would they see to
It that the European armies rushing to
the resc ue of Armenian Christians should
find : nothing but dead bodies. The
mountain Kurd, gloating over the piles
of elain, might exultantly chant, " With
the sultan at Constantinople I slew my
thousands; with tbe queen of England
at Constantinople I have slain my ten
thousands." The seizure of Constanti
nople might be the signal for the ex
tinction of tbe Armenians. I do not say
this would be a certain outcome, but I do
believe it is a possible outcome of the
seizure of Constantinople by tbe Christ
ian Powers.
Then there is the possibility of a re
ligious war. Peter the Hermit to-day
would be an utter Impossibility among
he followers of Christ, perhaps an im
possibility among the followers of
Buddha or of Confucius, but he is en
tirely a possibi.ity among the followers
of Mohammed. The Moslems are scat
tered in Africa, in western Asia, in
India, still, were a man of Mohammed's
ability or of Peter the Hermit's zeal and
persuasivenni s?; to arise, the fanatical
spirit might be aronsed.
BEFORE EUROPE'S ARMIES
could be gathered millions might be
slaughtered, lands devastated ard the
world undergo a shock, the effect of
which would be felt for centuries
There are reasons why such a war Is not
probable, but let the Moslems feel that
Christian armies are assaillDg them, and
it might come.
People often talk as though the
Armenian question were a mere trifle;
that England could settle it if she only
would. I think she might try if she was
sure she could. I feel toward the
Armenian question as many felt toward
slaverly ia this land fifty years ago,
Awful, it ought not to extend, it ought
to cease but how? A million flags
floating on Decoration Day tell a little,
onlv a verv little, of the storv. If a
so agonize to banish from its own hearth-
stone an accursed thing, it does not
behoove us to wonder why England can
not in a day purify the robber's den on
the distant mountains. How shall the
problem be solved? The Bulgarian
problem was solved, but that was child's
play compared with the Armenian prob
lem. Bulgaria is in Europe, Armenia is
in Asia ; Bulgaria is circled by Christian
countries, Armenia is surrounded mainly
by Moslem nations. Bulgaria is Inhab
ited almost exclusively by Christians;
in Armenia the followers of Mohammed
are nearly or altogether in the msjority.
Bulgaria with clearly defined boundaries,
Armenia with none such ; Bulgaria is
part of the great Slavic race, Armenia
without brother or sister among the
nations. Similarly the Cretan difficulty.
though somewhat perplexing, Is ver
simple compared with the Armenian
problem.
Armenian national independency is an
utter impossibility. Pressed by sur
rounding Moslem peoples, with a great
Moslem population, the Armenians
could not hold the reins of government
very long.
I thing that the seizure of Constanti
nople will be no solution of the Arme
nian problem whatsoever, and that
England's control in Armenia similar to
that in India, or even in Egypt, would
be unnatural, expensive, profitless and
short lived. The laying of her hand on
Egypt was natural because of its rela
tion to her route to India. Her political
control In India and her other provinces
has followed naturally the activity of
her merchants and the enterprise of her
colooists. Armenia is to her an out-of-the-way
place, and when Britain as
sumes unnatural responsibilities she
will fall to pieces.
There are two solutions to the Arme
nian problem. The first is the seizure
hot Armenia by Russia. This is the most
natural, the simplest. Russia has al
ready some Armenian subjects, she has
adjoining territory, she could seize it
without driving tbe sultan from Con
stantinople, without precipitating the
so called Eastern question. Remember
that the Eastern question and the
Armanlan question are two different
problems. The Eastern question, a
problem which has long perplexed
Europe, is, S'lall the sultan control Con
stantinople and tbe ad j lining water
ways? If not, who shall? The Arme
nian question, of more recent origin, Is,
Shall the 1 Christian Armenians be
pillaged, massacred, annihilated? They
are very different. The former Is politi
cal, the latter humanitarian. If Eng
land tries to solve the Armenian prob
lem she must solve the Eastern problem
on the way. But Russia can settle the
Armenian problem without preclpita
tatlng a settlement of the Eastern ques
tion. It must be remembered that
Russia will settle it In her way. She
will protect their lives but lesson their
liberties. The , civilization of Western
Europe would be debarred, Protestant
Ism would come under the ban, mission
ary schools would be closed, missionary
teachers and preachers probably would
be banished. Russia has no use for the
American Board nor any Yankee 'deas.
Spiritual Christianity and modern civili
zation would be farther from Armenia
than they are to-day, but massacres

Would cease; that problem would be
solved.
THE OTHER SOLUTION OF THE ARMENIAN
PROBLEM
is that now being followed by tbe
European powers protests against
cne maocacres, pressure to secure re
forms. Certainly the results have not
been very Eatiefactorv. but I dnnhr.
whether in the long run any other plan
will bear more good fruit. Turkish
promises! in themselves are absolutely
worth nothing. They mu3t be followed
op. If pacific pressure can terminate
cne massacres, secure some protection
for the future and make possible emi
gration, ;s much will be gained as I
dare anticipate ; for the present at least.
Many complain that the pressure
brought to bear on the sultan must be
slight, or he would have yielded long
ago. Such would be the legitimate in
ference were the pressure on one side
alone, bur, there is pressure on the other
side, which few realize. We see Scylla
and wonder why the mariner is not
more fearful of the rocks, but there is a
Charybdis on the other side which he
equally fears and shuns. The Turks are
not Arabs, they are not Orientals; they
came from the Caucasus, they were
invaders like the Huns; they conquered
Turkey, accepted the faith they found ;
masters they are, but converts and aliens.
iuey sun are proselytes under sus
picion; they must show their faith by
their works. Let them surrender to the
mi . -1 .
Christians and millions of Moslems wl'l
abcount them cowards and traitors.
The fanaticism which will rush to the
sultan's iescun in a stand against
Europe would rage against him if he be
came subservient. Europe with her
armies and fleets Insists on one side, Asia
with her fanatical hordes clamors on the
other side. She seeks to satisfy the one
with Christian blood, and calm the other
with promises. His aim has been to let
neither know what he is doing for the
other, that Europe should not believe in
the Armenian massacres, that Asia
should know nething of tieaties and
promises.
I call attention to this fact, not in ex
tenuation of the merciless tryant, who
values equally the parchment whereon
his pen has written promises, and the
book of blood his sword has written in
Armenia, bul; simply to indicate why he
is so stubbornly and surprisingly irre
sponsive to Europe's demands.
Nor do I say the Powers have been
sufficiently insistent. I think they
could have gone much farther without
precipitating the catastrophe so much
dreaded, but I speak thus because some
fail to recognize the real situation.

THROWN FROM A WAGON AND KILLED.
James Burns went to Bridgeport, last
week Wednesday. Returning he stop
ped at George Lover's at about 9 o'clock
for a short time. On reaching home he
drove by his own gate and turned around
in front of Mi s Henry Gould's place.
The wagon running over a stone must
have throw him out, and he probably
struck on his head. The next morning
as Berlin Whittlker was going to work
at adout 6 30 he saw the body lying near
tbe fence.' On examination he was
found to be dead. Selectman Jennings
notified Medical Examiner Dr Don
aldson. The coroner fouid a ecaln
wound which caused his death. About
20 feet from where he lay was found a
pool of blood which the doctor said bad
come from the noBe. It was very evident
that no foul play had been practiced as

person. The body was taken to the
house and given in charge of Under
taker Callahan. The funeral was held
from the Catholic church in Fah field on
Saturday morning.
