IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE YOUNG TURKS’ FORCIBLE ENTRY INTO POWER : MARSHAL MAHMUD SHEVKET
PASHA LEAVING
THE DOLMABAGHCHE PALACE AFTER HAVING BEEN APPOINTED GRAND VIZIER, ON JANUARY 23.
As we have occasion to note elsewhere in this issue, and as, of course, all the world knows now, the Young Turk party overthrew the Kiamil Cabinet on January 23 and assumed power, with Marshal Mahmud Shevket Pasha as Grand Vizier. The
new Ministers took the oath of office at the Palace. It was during the earliest stage of the “ coup d’etat ” that Nazim Pasha, Generalissimo of the Turkish army in the field against the Allies, was shot dead.
