The great war in Europe progresses,
no doubt. but as yet the kilograms are
not filled with the terrible details of
carnage and figures of killed and
wounded-which mean so little on pa
per and so much to the actual suffer
era. 1t is true that the fortified town
of kars, in Turkey-in Asia, Is re-
ported to have been assaulted and
taken by the Russians, with much
slaughter and 1900 Turkish pris-
oners. But particulars, or even con-
firmatien of the report, which is de-
MED from Turkish sources, are want
ing.
The great armies along the Danube
press near and more threateningly
near, but no collision of any moment
has occurred. In many of the Turk
ish proviaces great uneasiness pre-
walls, and open revolt is evidently
feared. There is no Frightening of
the prospects of the Moslem unless it
be found in the position of England,
which through her Minister quite Sc
verely censures the Car and declares
herself dissatisfied in that he made no
distinct pledges against Russian terri
torial enlargement. France. Prussia
and Austria are watching the struggle
and each other with an interest and
intensity which shadows the gravity
of the situation.

The New York Tribune, speaking
of the causes of the Eastern war, says:
'sSince the fall of the Eastern En-.
pire. Russia, whose sovereign assum es
its title to Caesar Car, has consider
ed herself its legitimate heir. Through
her the Greek Church lives and in
includes one-fourth of Christen dom;
and it is the Greek Church which has
been called upon to endure the barbar-
ties and the indignities heaped upon
it by the triumps of Islam. Rus
siass sympathy with the Christian
subjects of Turkey is thus inevita ble.
No doubt she has always sought to
turn it to her political advantage; but
If this Were not possible, the sympathy
would none the less exist, for it is
grounded in the deepest faith of her

Ii is said that among the Southern

the Pre- sident in his forthcoming mes

commend or condemn it lest they

they are pushing their goose-quills at
