The authorities hal sent some H..
here for the people, which were old - /

there was not enough for all. n
Mudir likewise received a little foos

which lean, haggard, wretched ,babe
we're tugging, to show us they7had no

and sunken eyes and despairing faces
were proof enough. They said "Ws

nothing but shed useless tears.

fat, insolent, smiling their contempt foi
the starving beings around them. Th
Turk is not only without pity, but he il
without patriotism. He does not LOOK
upon these people as bis neighbors, his
countrymen. He is'too ignorant and
stupid to know that in injuring them be
is injuring himself, that he is attacking
his own country. He knows only l.
lam. The people of India, the nomadic
tribes of Central Asia, whom he has
never seen, of whom he has heard per
haps once or twice in his life, are neara

The words country, patriotism, do MOI
exist in his language. That these Chris
tians, his near neighbors, are his coun-
trymen, that on them as much as On
himself depend the greatness and pros
perity of his country, is fact which
has no place iE his mind, which has no
influence on his acts. He knows only
that they form no part of the religionol
Mahomet, and ne looks no further.
When We left the village q hundred
of these women ran after us with their
cries and lamentations. 1t seems they
thought at first we had brought them
food or succor of some kind, and when
they learned that we had only come 70

was bitter and overpowing, and they 81
down by the wayside, with their Little
ones about them, crying and wringng
their hands, rocking themselves to and Z

than for us, "What shall we do? Wha
