Enver isthe man chiefly responsible for turning the Turkish army over the Germany. He imagines himself a Turkish combination of Napoleon and Frederick the Great.

A few years earlier Talaat was a letter-carrier, and afterward, a telegraph operator in Adrianapole. His talents are those of a great political boss. He represented Turkey in the peace negotiations with Russia and his signature appears on the Brest-Litovsk treaty.

DJEMAL PASHA, Minister of Marine: In 1914 Djemal headed the Police Department; it was his duty to run down citizens who were oppositing the political gang then controlling Turkey. Such opponents were commonly assassinated or judicially murdered. Afterwards, Djemal was Minister of Marine, and as such violently protested against the sale of American warships to Greece. Then he was sent to Palestine as Commander of the Fourth Army Corps, where he distinguished himself as leader in the wholesale persecutions of the non-Moslem population.
