The Upset In Turkey.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 25, 1913:
    The overthrow of the Turkish Government on Thursday, with its possible consequences, has created great confusion and some consternation in Europe. These are not lessened by the extreme ease and rapidity with which the overthrow was accomplished. Indeed the suspicion is not wholly unreasonable that the Ministers were riding for a fall. The hostile demonstration does not seem to have been formidable, and the change of Ministers was as prompt and quiet as if it were caused by a mere adverse vote in Parliament.
    There is some reason to hope that even the Young Turks, now that they are again in possession, may find it advisable to yield to overwhelming pressure. But the chance that they will not, that they will really essay a fight to the death, is only too serious. If it come about, it will involve possibilities that one hesitates to contemplate.
