WJLMETTE FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1924 17.f -...,. 11JRI ·FACES STRUGGLE Northwestern U. Man Lauda Mustapha Kemal "ln Mustapha Kemai the new Turkey, whic h h~s just recently been declared a republic, has a vigorous, inspiring a11 d capable leader," according to J' rof. Clyde L. Grose. Dr. Grose, who j, associate pro{essor of history and dire ctor of the. summer school at ~. ·rt hwestern iliriversity, recently returned, with Mrs. Grose, from a trip ( l\ cr Europe, atnong the most intert:'l ing points visited being ConstantiIIOp le. In fact, Prof. and Mrs. Grose \\'ere among the first outsiders to hra ve uncertain war conditions and Y i,it the h,istoric metropolis of the l,l'\·an t despite many warnings. Prof. Grose's topic was, "ConstantiJI(')tlc. Three Months Ago," and the gn a lt'r part of his address was de' ut t d to descriptive material of .great charm. Speakinll of the so-called New Turkry under Kemal, the professor talked optimistically. Military Geniua "Kc mal's military genius is unqucs t io ncd." he continued. "Whether he pc·· 'esses high powers of statesman ~hip is still to he seen. Most of what i· wri tten today is highly favorable to the Turks. They have accomplished a t bing in the last few years which appca_ls to the popular imagination , c~pcc ·ally of the aggressive virile American. Furthermore, the Turks are cood publicists and propagandists, and t ravelers are quite apt to praise them for personal qualities not usually att rihuted to them, but which they do undoubtedly possess to a degree that qamps them favorably when compa red with the admixture of Greek, ;\rmenian, Kurd. and LevantinP folk about thrm. Furthermore, all too often the AmPrican traveler only meets thr actual Turk officially, and finds him courteous and pleasant. while he j, overcharged by the Greeks and :\rmcnian s in t~e shops and offices, and he vents h1s wrath upon them \\bi le prai ~ ing the Turk. Fu~ure Not Promiaina "Turkey is not to pass out of existence. as we thought a few years ago, but it is to be doubted whether her future is as promising and certain as usually . expressed in the articles of correspondents. She has arisen from ruin s large ly the disagrec:m·etlts and Ql forth s must arise, if at all, by her own efforts and by a decided break with her own past. She is taking son:te good steps; her tnergy and' senousness are noteworthy; and I hope that the years may show that my fears as to her future are not justified. "On an Italian ship which belonged to Austria hf'fore the Great War, we sailed from Constantinople at the close of a clear day.
