THE delay of the Russians in crossing the
Danube is said to be affording high degree
of comfort to the Turks who OF course con.
slider every day gained as good as thousand
men distracted from the Russian army. The
heat in the valley of the Danube is already
considerable, and under the influence of the
noxious, miasmatic vapors arising from the
Roumarian marshes, the Russian troops are
rapidly falling sick and going into the hospi.
tails. The marsh fevers and the plague have
always fought under the crescent against the
Gar; in the war of 1928 more than two.thirds
of the Russian army being off duty at once
from sickness. Russians are not any cleaner
now than they were then. nor have their
methods of preventing disease been at all
improved.

The war correspondent of the New York
Times writes discouragingly of the organiza-
ton and efficiency of the Turkish Army.
The Turkish regulars will fight well and die
hard, he believes, but says in the field they
will be found wanting, as they are without
an intelligent direction, and cannot manoeuyre
even at review, much less under fire. Of
the much-taked-of Balkan defences, the cor
respondent says, "The Importance of the
Balkans as natural line of defence is exag-
gerated. There are only seven passes, it is
true, and these will doubtless be so fortified
that their defence will be successful; but all
the northern slope of the chain is so gentle
that the traveller often arrives at the summit
of the ridge without seeing mountain.
There are few points where carriage cannot
ascend. Sheep walks are to be found every
where, and covered by the fire of heavy guns
from below infantry can advance where goat
can climb. Certainly the line through Aidos,
Karnabad and Seim is strong, but it is very
long, and it may be turned from the west by
Sophia."

THE first conspicuous fruit of the new
Democratic government in South Carolina is
reputation. The lower branch of the Legis-
lature acted badly enough in refusing to meet
the obligations of the public debt and compel
ling the creditors of the state to wait a year
or more for their interest. But the Senate
has added to this disgrace in striking out all
provision for the payment of the interest at
any time. This is direct, undisguised repu-
diation. Such disregard of honor will not
commend the new Democratic rulers to the
confidence of the country.

THE Hindoo pariahs throughout British
India continue to endure the contempt
which for ages the other castles have thrown
upon them, but in the French territory of
Pondcherry they have united, 5000 in num-
Der, in an address to the Government de-
manding the same rights as the Brahmins.
"We drag after u.s." they say, "the heavy
chains, not only of bodily slavery, but of
moral slavery. We are regarded as impure
beings, not only essentially unclean in our
natures, but as cursed by communicating
power which communicates itself by touch to
any one encountered" The petition con-
cudes by demanding that the children of pa
riahs shall be admitted into the College OF
CalvSouppraichetty on equal terms with the
sons of Brahmins, or that an especial college
shall be founded for them, where the instruc-
ton shall be the same.

TURKEYS little windfall of nine million
dollars from the shrine at Mecca must be
quite refreshing to its famished exchequer,
and far more seIviceable than hordes of un-
organized and undisciplined volunteers from
the outlaying lands of the faithful. The de-
vout Bedouin said to Mahomet, 81 will
loose my camel and trust to Providence"
"Not So" replied the Prophet ''Tie thy
camel and then trust 10 Providence" This
timely contribution of material aid to the
cause of the Sultan shows that the spirit of
the advice to the Bedouin still survives.

ALL the sensational reports about the
United States Government trying to get up
war with Mexico are the sheerest nonsense,
fabricated to fill up the vacuum in some cor
respondents vacant mind. The Government
is simply determined to protect the people of
Texas from Mexican marauders, who under
Cortina and other leaders have for years COM
mitted depredations upon American citizens
along the Rio Grande. If the Government
takes such action in the premises as effectu.
ally to break up the raids of the Mexican ban.
dts, it will simply do what ought long ago to
have been done.

In Jerusalem tenement houses for Jews of
different nations are rapidly building by So

David, large group of tenements is now in
