TURKISH NATIONALISM
ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING
MOB WRECKS OFFICE
CJalted Press Association—By Electrlo TeleCraob —Copyrlcbt (Received February 27, 1 p.m.) CONSTANTINOPLE, February 26. Because the Italian director of a ,sleeping car company ordered the clerks to speak French instead of Turkish, five hundred students mobbed tho companyfs offices, smashed the plate glass windows and electric signs, and wrecked the interior with crowbars. Thousands of citizens joined the students, and the police were helpless. When all the damage was done the fire brigado arrived and dispersed the mob with hoses. ■ Several newspapers have given national importance to the event, and this has- resulted in bitter attacks on all foreigners. "La Kepublique," for-in-stance, says: "You top-hatted robbers, Occidental vagabonds and brigands, do you still take Turkish employees to be your creatures and our language your chained sla^e? Pigs, dogs, leeches, and scorpions! 'There is no place for you above or beneath Turkish soil."
