Special to The Observer. ' Raleigh, Nov. il. In reply to his telegramof November 15, to the exec utive committee of the League to En force Peace,' urging It to ' pledge its support to President Wilson in his efforts to establish such a league at the peace conference, Governor Blck ett today received the following let ter from Allen P.

TURKS ATTEMPT TO TREAT ALIEN ENEMIES DECENTLY (Continued From Preceding Page.) i the town, while now I .was driving to one of the poorer sections. We came to a narrow street, bordered bv littla rough, unpalnted wooden houses; only on inmg aisunguisnea tnis thorough far from all others In Constantinople and suggested that it was the abld- reason for .doing .so. ..Our auto, like all others, was stopped, but we were promptly permitted to pass when we explained who wrere. As- contrast ed with Enver's palace, with Us in numerable rooms and gorgeous fur niture. Talaat's house was an old, rickety. Wooden, three-story building. All this, I afterward learned, was part of the setting which Talaat had staged for his career. Like many an Ameri can politician, he had found his po sition as a man of "the people" a val uable political assets and he knew that you are v - Will Ull " ' ' require -'IT. if., bl Hi. 'Mi; v; '2 t WM u i ence with the union and progress prccre.'-s committee, mo-.-t 'ot whose members, like himself, had risen from the low-I er walks of life. The contents of the house were quite In keeping with the exterior. There were no sueirestions of oriental magnificence.' The furnl- j w" cheP: few coarse prints well-worn rugs were scattered on the floor.' On one side stood a wooden table and on this rested a telegraph Instrument once Talaat's means of earning a living, and now a means by" which he communicated with his associates. In the present troubled conditions in Turkey Talaat some times preferred to do his own tele graphing! . Amid these surroundings I awaited for a. few minutes the entrance of the big boss of Turkey. In due time a door opened at the other end of the room, and a huge, lumbering, gaily decorated . figure entered. I was startled by the contrast which this Talaat presented to the one who had become such a familiar figure to me at the sublime ports. ' It was no longer the Talaat of the European clothes and the thin' veneer of European manners; the man whom I now saw looked like a real Bulgarian gypsy. Talaat wore the usual red Turkish fet; the rest of his bulky form was clothed in thick gray pajamas; and from this ' combination protruded a rotund, smiling face. His mood was , ha,f fftnll h!f 4eprectIng; -niaat wW1 understood what pressing bus , new had ,ed m, t0 lnvftae hl, dom. tic privacy, and his behavior now re- 1 m ln unrepeniam ! by n ool. He came and sat down who a. Kooa naiurea Krjn, unu uexaa to make excuses. Quietly the door Presently I . saw that a young wo man, apparently about 2E, years old, was standing back of the child, urg ing her to enter.. Here then were Talaat's wife and adopted daughter; I had already discovered that, while Turkish women never enter society or act as hostesses, they are extremely Inquisitive about -their husband's guests, and like to get surreptitious glimpses of them- Evidently Mad ame Talaat, on this occasion, was not satisfied with her preliminary View, for, ,a few minutes afterward, she appeared at a window directly opposite jne, but entirely 'unseen by her husband, who was facing In the other direction, and there she re mained very quiet and very observant for several minutes. As she was in the house, she was unveiled; her face was handsome and Intelligent; and it was quite apparent that she enjoyed this close-range view of an American ambassador. "Well. Talaat," I said, realising that the time had come for plain speaking, "don't you know how foolishly you are acting? Tou told me a few hours ago that you had decided to treat the French and English decently and you asked me to publish this news in the American and foreign press. I at once called in the newspaper men and told , them how splendidly you were behaving. And this At your own request! The whole world will be reading about it tomorrow. Now you are doing your-best to counteract all my efforts in your behalf; here you have repudiated your first promise to be decent. Are you going to keepi the promises. you made jne? will you stick to them, of do you in tend to keep changing your mind, all the time? Now let's have a real un derstanding. The j thing we Ameri cans particularly pride ourselves on is keeping our word. We do It as Individuals and1 as a nation. We re- fuse to deal with people as equals who do not do this. You might as well understand now that we can do no business with- each" othfer wriless I can depend on your promises." "Now, this Isn't my . fault," Talaat answered. "The - Germans are to blame for stopping that train. The German chjef of staff has just return ed, and is making a big. fuss, saying that we are too easy with the French and English and that we . must not let them go away. He says, that we mustTceep them for hostages. It was his Interference that did this." That was precisely what I had sus pected. Talaat had given me his promise, then Bronssart, head of the German staff, had practically counter manded his orders, Talaat's admis sion gave me the opening which I had Wished for. H latlons with Talaat had become so friendly that I could talk to him with the utmost frankness. "Now. Talaat," I said, "you have got to, have some one to advise you in your relations with foreigners. You must make up your mind whether you .want me or the Ger man staff. Don't you think you will make a mistake if you place yourself entirely in the bands of the Germans? The time may come when ,yoti will need me against the Germans." "What do you' mean by that?" he asked, .watching for my answer with intense curiosity. "The Germans are sure to ask you to do lhany. things you don't want to do. If ypu can tell them that the. American ambassador objects, my support may prove useful to you. Besides, you . know you all expect peace In a few months.. Tou know that the Germans really care noth ing , for Turkey, and certainly you have no claims on the allies . for assistance. There Is only .one na tion In the world that you can look to as a disinterested friend and that is the United States." This fact was so apparent that I hardly needed to argue, it. in any great detail.' However j I had anoth er argument that struck still nearer homei ';-Already fhe struggle between the war -department and the civil powers had started. I knew that Talaat, although he was minister of the interior, and a civilian, was .de termined not. to sacrifice a tittle of his authority to Enver, the Germans and the, representatives of the , mili tary.' t --;-.y - "If you Jet the Germans win .this p6lnt.todsy..M.I said "you are prac tically in their power. You ate nowi the head of. affairs,, but you 'are still a civilian, Are you going to let' the militasy. represented by En ver., and ' the German staff, 'overrule your orders ?,;!.' Apparently that is what has happened today, If you submit Jto'Mt, you will find that they wll b running things from' now n.' The , Germans - will . put .this country under martial law;, then where - will you civilians be?" v 1 1 could see that this argument was Haying its. effect on Talaat' He rer mamed -quiet ,for ,? a, few. moments, evidently.,, pondering my remarks, Then he saldr.wlth the utmost de liberation," x "t am going to help you." ' 1 o, iui iiou uiHuiia iu ma taDis ana began working his telegraph instru ment I shall never forget the pled iur; wis nuge xurK, sitting there in his gray pajamas and his red f es, working Industriously his own telegraph key, his -young wife eras ing at him through a little window and the late afternoon sun stream ing; Into the room. - Evidently , the ruler of Turkey was having his trou bles, and, as the argument went on over ? ther telegraph Talaat would bang ihis 'Jteyj-with Increasing': irrita tion, He told me that the pompous major at "the station, insisted on hav- Ire mi.-ht easily be It touk Talaat some .' time to locati : time to locate Lnver, and then the j dispute apparently started all over again. - A piece of news which Talaat ; received at that moment over the wire almost ruined my case. After a prolonged thumping of his instrument in the course of which Talaat's face lost Its geniality and became almost savage, he turned to me and said: "The English bombarded the Dar danelles this morning and killed two Turks!"" . . And then he added: "We Intend to klll threi Christians for every Moslem killed!" For a moment I thought that ev erything was lost .Talaat's face re flected only one emotion hatred of the English. Afterward, when read ing the Cromer report on., the Dar danelles." I found that the British committee stigmatised this early at tack as a mistake, since It gave the Turks an early warning of their plana I can testify that It was a mistake tor another reason, for t now found that these few ittrangs shots almost destroyed my plans to get the foreign residents out of Tur key. Talaat was enraged, and I had to go over much of the ground again, but Anally I succeeded in pacifying him once more. I saw that he was vacillating between his desire to pun ish the English and his desire to as? sert his. own authority over that of Enver and the Germans. Fortunate ly the latter motive gained7 the as cendancy. At all hazard, he was de termined to show that he was boss ' Wr remained there more than two hours, my Involuntary host pausing now and then In his telegraphing to crrs ovr't: counte-fclie.!.
