A Railway Celebration in Asia Minor.

A railway celebration was held in Biledjik, Anatolia on occasion of the completion of the Anatolian Railway to Biledjik. The railway is an extension of the old Ismid line. The work is now going forward to Angora, some 500 miles east of Constantinople, under the auspices of a German syndicate, of which the Deutsche Bank of Berlin is the leading member. What Turkey needs most of all and finds most difficult to get is civil-service reform. Her natural resources are great, and capital will be found to develop them as fast as security and the regular administration of law are afforded.
