THE NEW ERA IN TURKEY.
Ire TIIR EDITOR Or TIM "SPECTATOR:I
Sia,—The great Constitutional changes that have taken place in Turkey, and the establishment of the Turkish Parliament, having aroused widespread sympathy and interest throughout the United Kingdom, it is proposed to organise a dinner in London—non- official, but representative in character—in order to congratulate the Ottoman people on these auspicious events, and to entertain a deputation from Constantinople. A Committee is being formed for this purpose, and the date of the dinner will be announced later.
Apart from Turkish subjeots residing in London, who have accorded the proposal their hearty support, there are many in this country who wish well to the cause of reform, and to the efforts which are being made to advance the material prosperity and to ameliorate the social condition of Turkey and her people.
Gentlemen desirous of taking part in the celebrattnn, which will be kept strictly outside the sphere of English politics as well as of Eastern controversies, are requested to send in their names to Colonel Percy Massy, United Service Club, Pall Mall, London, S.W., marked "Turkish Dinner" on the envelope.—We are, Sir, &c., 'ROTHSCHILD.
