The opiate, the unsigned Treaty of Sevres which was intended to mark the end of the Turk in Europe,--has been treated most irregularly by Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who from all indications is doing his best to re-carve the boundaries of the Near East to suit his Angora.

Thaxton is already famous for having landed...
