Excerpt from Turkey of the Ottomans The Albanians have been recently brought into special prominence by their long maintained revolt against the authority of the Porte. The attempt of the Constitutional Government to consolidate the nation by the uniform application of new measures to all its constituent ethnical elements has had the not very surprising result - considering the dissimilarity of these various elements - Of producing serious hostility to cer tain enactments, especially among the non-turkish Moslems who, under the old r???gime, had enjoyed special privileges now menaced by the new order. There were, accordingly, risings among the Arabs of the Hedjaz, and risings in Kurdistan, which were more or less speedily suppressed. But the revolt of the Albanians, having more serious causes, proved a more difficult matter. The new enactments especially obnoxious to these highlanders were three in number - (l) Enforcement of the conscription among the tribesmen (2) their general disarmament; and (3) the compulsory use of the Arabic alphabet for their Aryan language.
