TURKISH PATRIorrsM--All accounts agree
in stating that the Turk is thoroughly aroused
The phrase is, that it is "Moslen fanaticism"
which is so excited We shall not certainly
dispute that the Moslems may be fanatics. The
conquering faith that once swept over a region
from China to Gibraltar--from indefinite boun.
daries in Europe, even up in Africa, to the
sources Of the Nile, still exists. But Mahome,
danism has, like other religions, felt something
of the humaniziug influence Of progress. 1t
is no longer quite the iron master it was when
victory so uniformly perched on its banner;
for nothing could be more repugnant TO civil
zation than Mahomet's rigid creed, But both
the Turk and his creed are no longer what they
once were. Nor is the Turk in the same state
of political dependence, backed BY France ana
4 England. as he was in 1888, when Russian
4 feet and Russian army were invoked Tor has
/ nrotection But the 1910 treaty gave him
1 national position II stipulated to preserve his
I territory inyiolate. Russia, in seizing on the
! Dannbian principalites, has grossly broken
4 his treaty-a breach of faith which Turkey
cannot endure. Hence it would be exactly
inst to say that il is Turkish patriotism that
l. aroused. This feeling runs through all tho
races 1t demands nothing but what the Just
Judgment of the world will say is right--rs-
spect for its nationality. Boston Post
