Before \the beginning of the war Turkish students were sent by the National Assembly to Germany, Prance, the \Unit- ed States, and Great Britain, he said, and at the present- time many .Turkish officers^ are study- ing the art of war in thellnited States. : '•\'..

He persevered • in Ms study of the Turkish language until he was able .-.\to read, write, and speak it when it was still, written in Arabic charac^ ters.
