As Enver lias just shown, by encompassing the death of Crown Prince Youssouf Izzedin, how he is accustomed to deal with those who oppose him, it is amta oil the ?ard.v that 'Prince Zia Eddin may yet be designated heir apparent, in lieu of Prince Yahid Eddin, by means of a decree of his father the .Sultan, and of a fetvab of the Sbeik-ul-Islam, who is a creature of Enver and completely subservient to his wishes. • ZIA HAS GOOD MANNERS. The befit .that can be said , about Zia ib thfit bo has good manners, fairly decent morals, and an amiable disposition. He is in no sense a strong man, and should lie become Sultan would be merely the passive instrument of those who operate front behind the throne. Crown Prince Yous-souffV death is a, real loss to his people, lie would have made an excellent and up-to-date ruler. Ho was a very travelled man, enjoyed the personal acquaintance of most of the foreign rulers of Europe and of their leading statesmen. wa,s in a position to appreciate their prejudices and their peculiar points of view, also their weaknesses, and kept thoroughly abreast of everything that went 011 abroad by a careful and constant study of the leading organs of tho foreign Press. ■ FEARED P.Y ABDUL HA MID. With tho present Sultan Youssouff Izzedin was always on friendly terms, though he deplored his weakness and liia, invfiriabte submission to the demands of Enver Pasha. But he was feared by Abdul Hamid, who, with tho idea of rendering visits to Youssouff Taxedin's chateau at Tchamlidja, about Scutari, a matter'of extreme difficulty, gave instructions to the effect that the magnificent boulevard constructed sonic forty years ago bv Sultan Abdul Aziz from Scutari to' Tchamlidja should never be repaired, so that in course of time it became utterly unfit for traffic. Despite this, many foreigners found their way to the chateau at Tchamlidja. There is no doubt that Crown Prince Youssouff Izzedin was in sympathy and in touch with the vast majority of the. fellow countrymen, who. despite all assertions to the contrary, are strongly oPROfod to. the .present war.
