At the head of the country is a band of men who are determined to shake Turkey awake. It is not a comfortable process, of course. The world is doubtless sick of hearing of bow we put on hats over night, but that change is exerting a steady in. fluence on our mentality. Recently it was discovered that a lot of weave ers were out of work and their ex- planation consisted of the one word, "Hats." ~The material they wove was used almost entirely in making the long gowns that Anatolian men affect, The wearers of these gowns discovered that when théy went abroad in hats they were subject to rude laughter from their friends, for the combination of hat and gown was extremely quaint. Now they waar three piece suits, while the un- lucky weavers twiddle their thumbs, martyrs to progress. | The interminable Armenian trag- edy is said to be entering upon an- other acute phase down in French Syria. Practically all the Armenian survivors from southern. Anatolia guests, There was no place e they could go. Now the Druse troubles have dislocated business in Syria and made the food and em- ployment problems acute. The hun- gry Syrian glares at the hungrier Armenian and says, "Get out. There's food for only one of us." What a long time the Armenians are a-dying! In Angora the supply of male fac- ters for public hanging seems to have fallen off lately. Your corre- spondent recently met two Ontario ladies fresh from Angora with a most extraordinary fund of impres- sions, "Did you see the hanging?" some- ope asked them in a small and po- litely horrified voice. "No," one lady fairly roared. "We were simply furious! The gentleman who was showing us round thought Wo were some sort of mid-Victorian females and didn't breathe a word for fear it would spoil our break- fast! When we did hear we tore down to the square, but of course We were too late. They were just {| carting the bodies away." "Brigands, too," sighed the other with infinite regret. The visit of these Canadian ladies was made a cause for editorial re- jeicing in the official government paper at Angora. Careful inquiry at the American Embassy had brought out the fact that these travellers were not newspaper women. Of the contrary they belonged to one of the highest and richest families of Can- ada. Siace no mercenary cause could be assigned to their visit .it took™ on the air of a pilgrimage of respect to the shrine made famous by President Mustapha Kemal Pa- 8lia, But there were evidences that Eis fame had reached even farther than Canada. A lady had written from Van Diemen's Land asking how she could securé a photograph of the Turkish President.

"We Turks," | said he, "are notoriously lazy. Our great Ghazi wanted up to change and. become like other nations so he lcaded us with these heavy taxes.
