" Osman Agha. the newly designated governor of Kerras- •ounde. Is probably the most feared man on the north coast of Anatolia, When the nationalists selected Os- man Agha to improes Greeks, Ar- menlans. Jews and Turks alike into Mustapha Kemal's army, they .took into their camp a man who would have 'been a terrible menace In op position ranks and who is merciless in executing the orders of the An gora government. Osman Agha has been for years the self-constituted boss of Kerrns- eounde. In office or out of office he is master of the local situation Until recently he was onjy mayor of the little city. .But no provincial governor could give the old bandit chief orders. In fact he always man aged to unseat all provincial offi cials. He transcended vails, metro politans and bishops. Turk*. Greeks, Armenians «nd ^lews fear him alike, but had to oibey his or ders. He took over property 'which ho wanted without legal right and threw anyone Into prison who ques tloned hie authority. Osman )Agha wan even a self-con- stltuted regulator of women’s fash ions. He hated the high-heeled ■hoes and short skirts which Moslem women boplod from their French sisters. Consequently he Issued an edict that no Mohammedan woman should wear a heel more than one Inch high and that their dras««* should come to the ankle. Then he Immediately sent word to all shoemakers and dressmakers they would be Jailed if they executed orders In violation of his edict. He dried up Kerraasounde methods as direct as those of the late Carrie Nation, Without warn- ing he went to all the liquor shops and poured all the spirits Into the street. It was being sold in viola- tlon of Mohammedan teachings. Be ing a Turk of the old school and a total abstainer himself, he offered no explanation whatever to the wine merchants, who dared not question his authority. Immoral women became too con- Conse- splcuous in Kerrassounde. quently he ordered that the heads of all such women he shaved. Many of the women left the town, Those which remained disappeared from time to time and many of their bodies were washed up by the sea. Osman Agha embodies all the tyr annies which Turkish officials exer cised over the Christians tn iPontus. the Black BBK coast of Anatolia, where Greeks have predominated in the chief cities for many centuries. The Greeks of iPontus are buoyed up by the hope that they may soon be protected against Turkish oppres sion, but they dare not show their Joy at tha, prospect of deliverance. Until many of the Turkish officials responsible.
