Scattered through this throng of mute, prostrated, hopeless people circulated watchful and sinuous emissaries, who were to carry word of this misfortune to the remotest confines of Islam.

Islam, more rapidly and completely than any other creed, extinguishes racial sympathies and groups its adherents anew. The Anatolian Greeks are less numerous but not less difficult to provide for. The scattered groups of them on the plateau in Cappadocia, Pontus, the Konia district and on the eastward coast-lands would offer no serious difficulty to a lord of the interior.

Why did he do it? This is the reason.
The trunk-line passes by Angora, Kaisarieh, Diarbekr, Mardin, and Mosul; and a loop-line leaves it at Eski Shehr, which, going by Konia, Marasch, and Orfa, rejoins it at Diarbekr. It was said that the strong competition placed the Government in the position of the man in the Eastern story who went to the bazaar to sell an old camel, and a young cat of rare beauty.
