CONSTANTINOPLE, March 4 A treaty of frimidship, re-establish-ing diplomatic relations between Turkey and Germany lias been signed by tlie Angora Government. THE NEW TURKEY. LONDON. March o. Tile ‘‘Daily Telegraph” diplomatic correspondent says: “Although the expulsion of Khalif and family was < sported some time, the manner in which they have been .summarily bundlo<’ out has surprised even Turkish opinion. The true explanation has now leal;ed out. Mustaplm Kemal Pasha commences a triumphal tour of Eastern Thrace via Constantinople this month, hut lie could hardly visit Constantinople as the Khalifat, remained. Kemal hitherto had refused, to go to Constantinople, not through fear of as-

sa'sinntion at the hand of a fanatic, hut owing to his r-hhon cnee of having to pay his respects to the Khalil’. When the Angora Assembly abolished the Khalif’s temporal power, they pusnr--3d the Indian Moslems that it would ouR be temporary. Angora is capable of inventing a .similar lie to appease the Indians now, but the Indian Moslems are not likely to be hood-winked tliis time.
