Observing Ramadan in Constantinople
In Constantinople, July 22, Moslems observe Ramadan a month of fasting from sunup to sundown. Turkish restaurants are watched by Mohammedan police, and violations bring arrest. Christian restaurants, especially private rooms, become popular with devotees. Big guns signal sundown as crowds rush to cafes, while British fleet target practice has caused confusion with food can drills. Hot weather makes fasting harsh, irritability rises, and business becomes difficult. Unemployed Turks sleep by day and feast at night. Minarets glow with electricity, streets fill at night, bands play, and firecrackers light up where Allied officers do not intervene.
