Though Friday's telegrams show that complete order has been restored
at Constantinople, that a Cabinet of moderate men, with one or two exceptions, holds office, and that the Sultan for the time at any rate remains in the background, it must not be supposed that the Young Turks will be heard of no more. Though Ahmed Riza Bey and the rest of the pro- minent members of the Committee of Union and Progress have fled from Constantinople, we may be quite certain that the Young Turks will make a fight, and probably a strong fight, before they go under. The army corps at Salonika and Adrianople, and also probably the troops at Smyrna, are said to be still loyal to them; and Enver Bey, a leading organiser of the first revolution, who till the outbreak of the second was Military Attaché at Berlin, has left for Salonika with the avowed intention of organising a force there (and probably also at Adrianople) to march to Constantinople and restore the power of the Committee of Union and Progress. Enver Bey declares that this task will not be difficult, though it must lead to bloodshed, because he asserts that the great bulk of the officers are with the Young Turks, and that regiments commanded merely by non-commissioned officers will prove powerless in action.
