re Cid ic Sai ~ ~~, CT WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924 11 DECLARES TURK FACES STRUGGLE Northwestern U. Man Lauds Mustapha Kemal "In Mustapha Kemal the new Turkey, which has just recently been declared a republic, has a vigorous, inspiring and capable leader," according to Prof. Clyde L. Grose. Dr. Grose, who is associate professor of history and director of the summer school at Northwestern university, recently re- turned, with Mrs. Grose, from a trip over Europe, among the most inter- esting points visited being Constanti- nople. In fact, Prof. and Mrs. Grose were among the first outsiders to brave uncertain war conditions and visit the historic metropolis of the Levant despite many warnings. Prof. Grose's topic was, "Constanti- nople, Three Months Ago," and the oreater part of his address was de- voted to descriptive material of great charm. Speaking of the so-called New Irrkey under Kemal, the professor raiked optimistically. Military Genius "Kemal's military genius is unques- t:cned," he continued. "Whether he pcssesses high powers of statesman- ship is still to be seen. Most of what 1: written today is highly favorable to tke Turks. They have accomplished a thing in the last few years which appeals to the popular imagination, especially of the aggressive virile American. Furthermore, the Turks are good publicists and propagandists, and travelers are quite apt to praise them for personal qualities not usually at- tributed to them, but which they do undoubtedly possess to a degree that stamps them favorably when com- pared with the admixture of Greek, Armenian, Kurd, and Levantine folk about them. Furthermore, all too often the American traveler only meets the actual Turk officially, and finds him courteous and pleasant, while he is overcharged by the Greeks and Armenians in the shops and offices. and he vents his wrath upon them while praising the Turk. Future Not Promising "Turkey is not to pass out of exist- ence, as we thought a few vears 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 ruins largely by the disagreements and quarrels of her enemies. Hence- forth she must arise, if at all, by her own efforts and by a decided break with her own past. She is taking some good steps; her energy and seriousness are noteworthy; and 1 hope that the years may show that my fears as to her future are not justified. "On an Ttalian ship which belonged to Austria before the Great War, we sailed from Constantinople at the close of a clear day. Few travelers in those lands omit recording the impression left hy the sight of the sky-line of countless domes and minarets silhouet- ted against the crimson west. Like Saint Sophia it, too, is not disappoint- ing. Both seem to symbolize the something eastern that is a little be- vond the comprehension of the west, vet painted in the colors and with the background of the same human ele- ig however curiously intermin- gled. | Kenilworth Happenings | Miss Jean Speres of Edeewater will he the quest of Mrs. Claude G.
