A NEW ALPHABET.
TURTvrsi I PRESS REVOLUTIONISED.
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
LONDON, Nov. 2
The Time’s Constantinople correspondent reports that one outcome of inauguration of new Roman characters is prolonged cinema sessions. Captions are accompanied by explanations which spectators do not readily grasp, and insist on the words remaining on the screen so long that performances are much extended.
The newspapers quickly adapted themselves to the new conditions and appeared to-day modelled on those of Dondon and Paris. They instituted whole page paragraphs. Circulations have fallen heavily. There is only time to read one newspaper, but the, public plods through the journal because it is recognised that reading newspapers is the most practical method of becoming accustomed to the new alphabet.
News;-)a pers have imported modern machinery for the: change, and it has also been decided to adopt the western make-up. Thus the new characters have entirely revolutionised the Turkish press.
