This pretense of intro- ducing German efficiency and state socialism into a patriarchal despotism on short notice is one of the pathetic jokes of the war. Some queer things about the money situation here deserve notice. All the gold and coin has long ago gone out of existence. Paper is now the only medium. Unfortunately, the Turks, with their usual lack of fore- sight, have forgotten to provide any small paper money. They have made it a crime to use tram-tickets in lieu thereof. So it has becom...e impossible to change a bill in any store to pay for a purchase. Next week the new small paper is to arrive, as usual here, two weeks after schedule. Another oddity of the money market is that Turkish paper is at a premium when compared with marks, and at a tremendous premium when compared with Austrian kronen. Yet nobody imagines for a moment that Turkish credit stands anywhere near that of the Teu- tonic countries. The secret of the situation is that the Germans are not getting paid for what they send to Turkey, but merely get Turkish I O Us, whereas, for all the food stuffs it has shipped to Germany, Tur- key is receiving cash.
