SULTAN FEARS
FOR SAFETY OF
HIS SUBJECTS
* -—
CONSTAN i’INOPLE, Jan. 14 (by As
sociated Press).—People of Constanti
nople call the sultan, Mehmed VI, “a
nice, harmless old man.” Mehmed VI
is the last enemy emperor left, the
I man whose temporal possessions are
at stake in the making of peace.
The padishah, or “father of all the
covereigns of the earth,” is short,
gray-haired, rather stoop-shouldered,
dark-eyed, with short, white mustache
set under the characteristic beaked
nose of the Turk. Bereft of good
counsellors, worried by the actions of
Moustapha Kemal Pasha, leader of the
•Nationalists, Mehmed is in a quandary
as to how to save his people and his
throne. At that he doesn’t worry
too much, thanks to the pervading
Oriental spirit of fatalism.
Every Friday, the Turkish Sunday,
a crowd of Mussulman pilgrims and
foreigners gathers to see him go to
prayer. The ceremony takes place
outside the palace gates of Yildiz, on
the hills of Pera, just above the Bos
phorus. There are the sultan’s offi
jclal offices and also his harem, in
flower garden, part of an immense
park.
The sultan, wearing a fez, comes
into view riding slowly in an open
phaeton, preceded by a single horse
man and followed on foot by a dozen
or more of his red-fezzed suite,
dressed in black frock coats and trou
sers In the European style.
The sultan bows right and left, in
response to the acclamations, looks
towards the terrace where are ranged
the foreigners, and bows pleasantly to
them. The distance to the mosque
is passed, then at the door of the
mosque he steps out; from the interior
is heard a chant of a male chorus,
and he disappears. Directly the gen
eral Mussulman public is permitted
to enter at another door of the mosque
to take part in the prayers, which con
tinue for a half hour. Meanwhile the
foreign visitors disperse; their curi
osity in the successor of the prophet
satisfied.

II “And my
I GOODRICH Sh oes III |
I outwore Six pairs of his" I
I He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21 I
I years—and just back in the States. He
I) was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
I asked him, of course, if he ever used our
I Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
I while he was up there, and he said—
I “Say, those are some shoes you people make.
11 Why, I remember one time when my part
I ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
I pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
■ didn't? And he wore out six pairs before
I we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
I There's the result of making Goodrich
I Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
I SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
I no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
I they're comfortable—feel like old shoes
I before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
I We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
I and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros
1 pecting, etc. They always have “The Red
I Line ‘Round The Top.”

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED

for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.

extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pav you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or nlore, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
AH we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
H, trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper
