Rome coaaed all opposition to the
Turk, The record OF thoso carly conturiea
IL confirmed by tho record of 1somo In this
Tnrco-scrvian struggle. Although tho nativo
Noman Catholics Of tho 9olnvic States had
ns much nt stake. in a material and political
point Of Wow, AZ tho Crock Christians, their
hatred Of tho latter Inns invariably led them
to take part with tho Turks against thoir
own nationafitios. The Albanians, removed
from tho locality Of the war, and mostly
Roman Catholics, have constantly furnished
troops to tho Turkish army. The Pope, as
NC have said, Inns never uttered a word Of
sympathy for tie Greek Christians struggling
with their bIoslom tyrants; on tho other hnnl,
Inns sent words Of encouragement tp tho
Porto, whi1o the Cardinals and Mon-
efguorie have shown their sentiments
by investing heavily in Turkish
bonds. Even the 1talian Government,
liberal az 1t is, and Independent Of Rome as
1t Is, has Dad no encouragement to offer tho
Christians. Not m ultramontane country
in Europe has protested aga'nst Turkish
tyranny and misr11lo. Austria has, boen tho
firm friond Of Turkey throughout, and tho
only mon In Franco who lnvo sent words Of
cheer to tho struggling Christians, and whose
hearts havo boen touched BY tho inhuman
massacre and torture Of Thousands of helpless
women and children, have boen tho extreme
Republicans like V1cron Huoo. 1t has been
rcsorved for Protestant England and Ger
many to espouRo tho causo Of tho Christians,
Russia naturally taking tho snrno course,
being bound to thom by race md religion.
In this great religious war between
Christianity mud Moslomiatn, tho Protestant
Church has sided with the former;
tho Roman Catholic Church has aidod aud
encouraged q religion which makes It's vota-
ries monsters of cruelty and bonsts of sensu-
