With the Turk in War Time. By Marmaduke Pickthall. (J.

M. Dent and Sons. 5s. net.)—Mr. Picktball is well known as a close and sympathetic student of the Oriental mind. In February, 1913, he visited Constantinople—where be had not been for eighteen years—to see for himself whether it was true that the Turks had become hopelessly demoralized and that their Revelation had turned out to he a ghastly failure. His conclusion is that, if Europe makes it impossible for Turkey to remain at the head of the Moslem world, "then one day Europe will behold an Arab Empire, with little of the toleration and good temper of the Turk."
