COUNTER REVOLUTION
PRORARLE IN TURKEY
Militarists Consider EnverBey
Too Ambitious and Plan

aion of further and more serious dis
orders Is felt throughout Turkey.
There la a well defined rumor that a
counter-revolution was planned to
overthrow the committee of union and
progress that seized the sublime port.
after assassinating Nsilm I'asha, com-mander-in
chief of the army.
It Is u matter of common knowledge
that many of the most Influential offl
cers of the Turkish army are bitterly
opposed to Knver Hey and his bigb
handed methods and the newest revo
lutionary plot is said to have the back
lug of the aoldlers now at Chatulja.
The militarists credited with plan
nlng tbe counter revolution fear the
Influence of Knver Bey. They believe
he is too radical as well as too auibi
! tious. They believe that he means to
make Malawi absolute dictator of Tur
' key. If pobnible, and that pracUcal an
archy would follow the success of bis
schemes.
Adrlanople clearly Is the paramount
Issue of the Ualkan war In the Otto

and to the allies, no matter bow man)
