BERLIN". Feb. g. "We are engaged
In a rpeciaj holy war. It is directed
only against the Christian nations of
England. Russia, France and Belgium.'
Germany only can save us and our re
liction from the schemes of Russia, for
the diplomatic situation is such that
in this particular raqsi the Gormans
are the friends of the Mohammedans,
wherefore we have gone to war and the
church has called it .a holy war. so
that every true follower of Allah tnay
help the friends of Turkey."
It was Emir Alii Pasha speaking,
the vice-president of the Turkish
Chamber of Deputies, stern and serious
in his white and brown robes and tur
ban. It was the first interview he had
consented to give upon the subject
that concerned his country so vitally.
"I have heard." he continued, "that
the people of the United States think
Germany dragged us into this war.
That belief is wrong. Turkey knew
that Germany was the one country
that could protect it from Russia. 1'ou
cannot tell a Moslem to fight for any
thing in which he does not believe. We
believe that we are fighting not only
for our existence, for the existence of
Turkey in Europe, but for the Moham
medan faith."
Manner Grows Grave.
' The Emir's eyes grew bright and
his manner became grave and earnest.
"It was impossible for Turkey to
keep out of the war," he said. "If Rus
sia was victorious, we knew in Con
stantinople that she would carry out
her long cherished ambition, and seize
the Dardanelles. We were positive that
England, who fought the Crimean war
to prevent Russia from doing that very
thing, and that her ally. France, would
not be able euccessfully to object to
the seizure of Constantinople. Thus
the partition of Turkey would have
been inevitable. We had to go into
this fight for our very existence, and
we are fortunate in having so power
ful an ally as Germany.
"The holy war." he said, "has met
with great enthusiasm. It is only be
ginning. Three hundred million Mos
lems cannot be reached in a few
mnnthx siowlv but eurely the news is
penetrating into every country where
live the men of my faith. As yet I do
not think that the masses know or it
in India: If they did. there would be
no English in India. Some day soon
they will; you cannot keep the news
out. Where It has penetrated, the war
has been received everywhere with the
greatest enthusiasm, particularly in
Syria, the population of which has been
dormant for many years."
Kalian Safe From Harm.
"And the results?" I asked the Emir.
"In Morocco," he explained, "events
already have proceeded even much
further than of which the world is
aware. What -is reany nappemng
there is not known because of the
strict English and French censorship
In that country. In Tripoli the Holy
War has not caused any serious con
sequences, although we have had dif
ficulty in preventing this, but pre
vented it we have, because this is not
Holy War against ltal Italy is
not fighting us, so all Moslems m
Tripoli had been warned mat tney win
Incur the displeasure of the one and
only God if they harm an Italian.
Rut our Invasion of Egypt is pro
greasing In a way which cannot at the
moment be overestimated. I know
fmrr, mv renorts that when the Turk
ish army crosses the Buez canal tne
entire population will rise io a man
inlnit the government. ' England has
broken every promise and every treaty
that she has made in the past ju years
regarding Egypt, and the Mohamme
dans there have not lorgoiien now
they have been intimidated and tricked.
T helteve that as soon as the news of
the first big defeat of England reaches
India and the whole country Knows
that a Holy War has been proclaimed,
ht an extensive uprising will take
place there. Japan is not sending any
troops to neip me rcuians ur men
allies in the west. She has more tnan
a million men she could throw Into the
combat; possibly these men are being
held for the general uprising which
the English government knows must
come In India."
Hope In Mohammedans i.reat.
Tha Emir went on to say that tie
hoped to see the whole of North Africa,
excepting, of course, Tripoli, for Tri
poli is Italian, and not included in this
11 holv war. restored to the Mo
hammedan faith and to Turkish control.
He seemed to be of the opinion that tne
Mohammedans would decide this war.
He said that the pressure they would
bring to bear upon England m lncua
and Egypt would absolutely end it.
I know, he declared, "that tne peo
ple of the United States are prejudiced
against Turkey. This is because you
do not understand Turkey. By misun
derstanding us you have been done a'
wrong as well as my country. It has
come about in mis way; ior many
years Russian interests have cleverly
waged a campaign against Turkey in
the newspapers of America. We knew
that this campaign was going on and
that Russia was doing it. Struggling
as we have, though, toward a better
condition in our own country, we have
never had the ways nor the means to
fight such a poisoning of public opinion
against us. We have always hoped that
the sense of fair play which we have
been told exists in the United States
would some day turn the tide In our I
favor. We can only hope that the truth
will come out after this war.
"The United States should be our
friend. They should welcome our form of
government, brought about by the re
cent political changes in Turkey, and
assist us in every way possible. We are
in a pathway toward a democracy
which is more in accordance with the
American ideal and the real conception
of Islamic religion than heretofore had
been the case The people in America
should know- that the Mohammedan
faith always has taught and carried out
real democracy. In Turkey we have no
castes. A poor peddlar can belong to a
Club in which are rich men. Men are
not known by titles, but by the names
of their mothers, which prevents con
fusion. Since its foundation the reli
gion of Allah always has had for its
cornerstone the equality of man, and
what else is your republican govern
ment founded upon?"
Russia's Dream Long-Standing.
I asked the Emir to what extent Rus
sia's ambitions for the seizure of Con
stantinople and the achievement of its
long-cherished dream for an outlet in
the Mediterranean was responsible for
this war.
Russia has had this dream, said the
Emir, "since the time of Peter the
Great. Did he not writes- It is not land
but water,' and has that not ever since
been the cry of Russia? Almost from
the day that Peter the Great tried to
fight his way to the open sea, Russia
has found across her path the swords of
nearly all the nations of Europe. More
lately there was the Crimean war, and
the Russo,-Turkish war. Tou may have
heard that these were to protect the
Christians. Bah!" and the Emir ges
tured forcefully, "they were both caused
by policies of Russian diplomacy that
wanted Constantinople. Russia was
balked in the Crimean war because
England. France and Sardinia helped
us. European diplomats say that the
powers made a mistake after tha Kus-so-Turkish
war at the Berlin congress
by making Russia withdraw and per
mitting Austria a Balkan control. But
it was a better bargain for us to ex
change Russia for Germany in vTur
key and Asia Minor. If Russia were
a less powerful nation than she is
but with a territory three times as
large as all. the rest of Europe, with
a population greater than that of Eng
land, France and Germany combined,
with ambition not dead In the Slavish
people, she is restless she would have
given up.
"Russia tried for the open sea in the
Pacific and Japan beat her back. Then
after having twice tried to seize our
country, she returned to the attack in
the west and brought on this war. The
Moslem world blamed Russia for this
war, and all the allies of Russia will
suffer with Russia, for never before
has the Caliph thought it necessary
to use the great force, possible by
bringing every true follower of the
prophet into war, and no country can
anger the Mohammedan world and de
it unharmed."
"Then you blame Russia for this
war?" I asked the Emir.
"Yes,," he said, "Russia's dream, the
way to the open sea. Of course, Eng
land made use of it, to try and turn
Russia against Germany. Russia did
not contemplate war on the first of
August. Three years ago she poured
her money and secret agents into the
Balkan states, and tried to drive us
out of Europe not so that Bulgaria or
Servia or Greece or Montenegro would
profit but that Russia would profit
and seize the Dardanelles, But our
war against Russia is just beginning
