RECORD OFTHE TURK
Has Wort and Lost More Land
Than Any Other Nation.
ONE TIME A WORLD BUGBEAR.
Then the Tide Turned, and One Great
Misfortune Followed Another Till
He Waa Almost Swept Out of Eu
rope by th Treaty ef Berlin.
The "Terrible Turk." who msy be
taken as typifying the empire of the
sultans, holds one record at least
which he Is not likely to be deprived
of. He has wuo and lost more terri
tory tban any other nation.
There was a time when the sultan
was tbe bugbear of the world. Even
little children In England shook In
their shoes when tbey beard his name
mentioned, and those ieople who lived
anywhere near him dared not call tbclr
lives their own.
Hut st iaat the tide turned The
Turk befan to lose,' snd one great ml
fortune followed another.
Kpaln was the first big bit of the
Turkish empire to break free. The
Moor, who were subject and paid
tribute to tbe ult.in, were driven from
province after province until at lengib
they were cooped up In the solitary
kingdom of Granada.
The last Moorish king to reign lu
Spain wa r.onlxlll-cl Chaeo. or Itonb
dil tbe rn!in-l:y. In lsj Ferdinand
and Isabella, the king and queen of
Aragon ami Castile, declared war on
him, and In ll'.rj he had to surrender
everything.
Hungary, which now form hclf of
tbe dual monarchy of the Emperor
Francis Joecph. was a province of tbe
sultsn for 150 yesrs. Then tt ws torn
from blm by the sword.
After thl came tbe Wo of the
rtara. The Russians, whom be once
despised, have leen tbe Turk'a worst
enemies. They have either robbed blm
themselves or encouraged others to rob
him.
Peter tbe Great act the example, but
waa not, on the whole, very successful
in his war against tbe Moslem. At
one time tbe Turks could bsve csp
tnred and massacred refer and bis ar
my, but were frustrated by tbe slave
gtrt. Catherlfce. whom Peter had mar
ried. Catherine the Great tore tbe Crimea
from the unbarpy Turk, together with
thousands of square miles of territory
along the shores of tbe Caspian.
In 1321 the Greeks, who had been
alaves of the sultans for many centu
ries, rose In relielllon and drove the
Turks ont of the country. Hut then

to seise the country once more.
But the msaMcres and other horrors
which followed aroused Europe. In :
1877 the Turkish fleet was destroyed '
at Nsrnrlno. Tbe combined fleets of ,
Britain, France and Russia took part
In tbe operation.
In 1US Greece was acknowledged as '
a free and Independent kingdom, with
a king- of Ita own. "
For nearly a century Egypt, which
the Turk conquered la 64 L, has been
part of the suiun's empire in little
more than name, and a lace 1882, when
the English occupied Pharaoh's coon
try after Arsbl Paaha'a rebellion, the
Turk has fcsd practically nothing to do
with Krypt,

knowledged tbe soltan aa their tuse-
raln. but were defiantly Independent a
regarded all tbe reat of the world.
Their swift sailing dhows preyed oa
tbe commerce of all Europe, and from
stsrt to finish tbey seised many thou
sands of white csptlvea. many of
whom tbey ransomed, while others
they doomed to slavery.
When asked to keep his piratical
subjects In order tbe sultan declared
himself helpless to do anything. Tbe
freebooters went on doing as they
liked for a long time. Then France
became weary of patience and forcibly
took possession of tbe city In 1330.
Since then she has annexed 307.WO
square miles of Algerian territory once
subject to the sultnn.
Then csme the Turk's worst time.
Russia1 made war on him. and tbe Bal
kan state, which bad lieen held a
provinces by Turkey for hundreds of
yesrs, revolted, flew to arm and did
everything tbey could on the side of
Ruasls. Had the czar been left to him
self tbe Turkish empire would have
been practically destroyed. Tbe other
great powers, however, wer afraid to
see Russia too powerful. They Insist
ed on summoning tbe congress of Ber
lin. By the terms of the treaty of Berlin
tbe Turk was almost swept out of En
rope. Bosnia and Hertegovlna were
banded over to Austria to keep In or
der. Roumsnla, Servla and Montene
gro were declared absolutely Independ
ent of him. Bulgaria was crested Into
a principality, nominally under the
sultan's suseralnty, but In reality free.
And then Austria annexed Boanla and
