There is no doubt that there has
been a complete change in the internal
and external policy of the Turish gov
ernment.
Where internal politics are con
cerned, it has been decided to offset
a reapproachment between the Mos
lems and the various non-Turkish na
tions, w'hether Christians or otherwise,
thus carrying out the plans laid dow'n
at the very beginning of the \oung
Turk regime In regard to public in
struction, military service, and the Ian
guage quefi-tion.
Although no details have yet been
made public, it is now certain that an
agreement has been reached between
the Government and the Greek, Biil-
garian, and Armenian Patriatchs in
accordance with the demands already
set forth in the petitions, identical in
tenor, put forward by the three Pat
riarchs.
In its external politics the Govern-
tempts at Pen-Islamic propaganda. It
ment Avill resolutely repudiate any at

itself with the Triple p:ntente.
As the rewilt of this altered policy

sent Grand V’^izier, Hakki Pasha, being
replaced by Kutshuk Said Pasha, who
will form an exclusively Young Turk
Cabinet. ,
This change of Ministers, however,
will not be made until after the Gen

and the buildings restored more or
le.sR to what it was in the days of
Ix)iiis XVI. and Marie Antoinette,
that is to say, the eighteenth cen
tury. More recently, however, other
re.stoi'a t itus have been made, con
sisting in the removal from tbe pal
ace parts dating from tlie eighteenth
century. ^I'hns a small clock tower of
purelv eighteenth centtiry style on a
wing of the palace has g(me. Perhaps
this may be carrying this new kind
of restonition a little too far for, if it
were pursued logically, there seems
no reason avVi.v a largo i>art of the
palace built under I^ouis XV. should
not be pulled down, to leave only
Ixjuis XVI architecture.
Archaeological zeal might go still
further and restore Versailles to
what it was under Louis XIII., when
it was a. .shooting box. ihose re*
sponsible for the restoration may be
suffering from a diseased passion an
ailment w'hich attacks archaeologisls
and art critics. To the healthy ar
tistic mind there is no evil m a mix
ture of stvles, when each style is a
good one,'and worthily represented.
The flamiioyant is not morally Infe
rior to pure Gothic, but only
ent: and !x)uis.XV. is not debased
lx)uis XIV., but another thing.
