CONSTANTINOPLE, Mar. 18
A cartoon appeared in the newspaper “Akcham,” depicting a woman dressed in Turkish fashion, ascending in a balloon, casting out ballast bags inscribed: “Conscience,” “Honour,” “Virtue,” with the fourth bag, ready to be released, inscribed, “Morals.” The deduction was that the Turkish women were only progressing at a sacrifice of these virtues. The result of the indignation aroused was that the editor, caricaturist and three other members of the staff, were sentenced to imprisonment, variously, from five to one month, plus fines.
