THE NEAV CONSTANTINOPLE. “So this is Constantinople! A r erily the AVest is at work upon it, brushing it, grooming it, dressing it. No more a City of Dogs, a City of Besoms. In the dead of one night, perhaps many nights, the canine community, to the number of 30.000, was transported to a camp outside the city. Becoming impossible there, though Constantinople voted £SOOO a year, I understand, for food and drink, the dogs were taken to a little island. Food supplies, water supplies, were difficult. The dogs perished. If the dogs wero the city’s scavengers, the besom does duty, now, AAesternwise. In the bazaars men with (to our eyes) half-handled besoms are constantly sweeping up the garbage. No more a City of the Fez; no more a city of the Veil. Fez and Veil are gone," with their colours and mysteries. Constantinople of dream and talc is different.”— Air Sydney AAalton, m the “Yorkshire Observer.”
