TURKEY.
CABINET RESIGNS. INIQUITY RAMPANT.
Constantinople, Jan. 23. Tho Government has resigned as the result of a scandal concerned with train contracts. Tewfik Pasha is re-forming the Cabinet. The Committee of Union and Progress is exerting a baneful influence over the whole country, shielding those accused of massacres and speculations, and endeavoring to inflame outbreaks against the Armenians. The influential press is inciting similar religious, racial, and fanatical outbreaks. The outlook for Turkey is gloomy. The people have not the faintest realisation of their present international situation.
The evacuation of the Caucasus is now complete except Kars. The British occupy Batoum and have joined hands with the Baku forces. Bolshevist troops occupy Vladikavkaz and the adjoining district.—Times Service.
