The name means "pots"-? scullery ware.

I In rely twenty miles to tluv {south rose Troy, to furnish Inspiration alike to Homer and his myriad of readers. Within a stones throw of Chanak, Xerxes In 480 IV. C. led his thousands of Persians across the. Dardanelles on a bridge of boats In the tirst formidable exi?edltlon of. Asiatics into Europe which history records. At the same ?pot iv century and a half later Alex ander led his smaller hut more highly trained army Into Asia on ids trium phal conquest of the world. It was from Chanak In lllo.'l that the Turks crossed to their tlrst foothold in Europe? a crossing that gave Europe a problem that has bred wars and massacres and broken trestles for more than live hundred years.

Castle after castle, each fortified, j comes into view on both the Astatic and the European shies of the 1 Minis- i nelles as one steams from the I Aegean toward Constantinople. Hut the narrows opposite ( hanak aie re served for the castles of castles; the castle of Asia on the right, the castle of Europe on the left. 1 he ( hanak fortifications were tlrst constructed In 1 470 not long after Constantinople fell to the Turks Ever since Clianak has been a place of importance. In recent decades It has been the point of admin- ] lstrat i??n for all the Dardanelles de- j fenses the solar plexus of the ..uter Straits.

After one l(?ok at the ditches that do for streets, the passenger usii* ally was willing to take the earliest conveyance for lirnsa, some fifteen miles to t he southeast. Tlds railway, hullt In-lht* early nU?e ties, used to he cited as an example <'f the Turk's inapt itnde for engineering projects. After I lie line was hullt at extravagant cost the Turkish goyern ti Lent bought locomotives not adapted to the tracks and grades, and locked thorn up for some years while the new laid rails rusted, and the wagon road to Hrusn was In almost :liut>assnble condition. If the railway ran beyond Hrusn, Mudanla might enjoy greater prosper ity. as the port of one of the richest agricultural regions of Asia Minor. In stead Pandemia, to the west, as the terminus of the railroad to Smyrna, completely eclipses Mudanla, with only Its short line to Hrusn. Counting some four thousand Greeks. Mudanln's nor mal population was only six thousand. The Greeks, of course, have departed, hut many Turks have clustered there In recent months. 1 8rn I d Rich in History, Ismld. at the northeastern corner of the Sen <>f Marmora and at .the base of the peninsula that extends to the, Bos porus, is the point at which the Turk ish nationalists made one of their heaviest troop concentrations in tho latter .days of the Mudanla parley. Ismld's once Important harbor is now silted and Its population is barely twenty thousand. Hut before < 'oust an dimple was enlarged by Constantino (lie (ircat, Ismld, then Nicomedla, was for a time the eapital of the itomau empire and the metropolis of the Near Kast. .situated at the head of the Gulf of Ismld, Which forms the sharp Asiatic end of the Sea of Marmora, and with high ground behind It, the town lay in i he route of the natural highway from Syria, Persia, Mesopotamia, and the entire Near Knst to the Bosporus and I'Juro|K>. In tin? old days camel cara vans Innumerable carrying the riches of the ICast plodded around the end of the gulf, paused to pay commercial tribute to the strategically situated city, and continued west along the low coast <>f the gulf f'>r the fifty miles' that separated Nlcotnedia from Byzan tlUin and now separate lsiuUl from Constantinople. And when the steel highway and Iron horse that were to connect Berlin nnd Bagdad came to re place the more picturesque hut lesa> efficient camel and his dusty road, ths same natural path was utilized and Ismld became a railway station. Partus and his hosts aw armed, through the site of the present Ismld, five hundred years before t'hrlst, to bridge the Bosporus and conquer Thrace and Macedonia. Xenophon nnd his ten thousand ti reeks passed j through the place in thdr memorable retreat from Persia to their homes. \e;?r there the defeated llannlbul, ? refugee from the Botnans. committed suicide; and In a \llta close by <\>n-] stnntlt.e the Great died. 1 or. e after I f.?rce of Crusader* held the tm*n dur- j liig the Middle :ige< Fr 'in Nicomediu I Jlociethin direct-; e<l hi- Imp acu'de c.mipalgn <f perse ' cut ?!i fi e ?t. in.-, and later I he iirst ( 'hc.st i.n, ?M?ip?'r^r < an- ? t.ne, pi\rr'uV|t fr> vi i'? pallets.
