History Club Lecture.

Mr. Nico C. Adossides, ex-attache to the Turkish Foreign Office at Constantinople, will speak on "The Sultan and his Government," under the auspices of the History Club this evening at 8 o'clock in Sanders Theatre.

On account of the prominent position held by his father, the late Prince Constantine of Samos, who was the first Christian governor of Crete and also Under-Secretary of State to the Sultan, and on account of his own position under the Turkish Government, Mr. Adossides is peculiarly well informed as to the Sultan's policy. His liberal political convictions brought him a sentence of death, and as a result he escaped to France. There, and also in England, he has written and lectured extensively during the past five years on eastern European customs and governments. In his lecture tonight, Mr. Adossides will discuss the civil and financial misrule of Turkey, its secret service, press-censorship, and police, and will dwell on the decline of Turkish power as shown in the present state of the army and navy.

The lecture, will be illustrated, and will be open to the public.
