The Standard Of the Prophet.

The startling news is sent from
London that the Shiek. l-Islam, who
is the head of the Church in Turkey,
and to whom the Sultan must refer in
every act of Importance, has instruct
ed the leader of the annual pilgrim
caravan which starts shortly from
Constantinople for Mecca to proclaim
in all cities through which he passes
that the faithful are called to the war
against Russia, and that be will bless
the Sultan as the leader of the holy
war. The news is in accordance with
previous dispatches which have rep
resented the Sultan as declaring, in
spite OF English advice to the con-
trary, that be would unfurl the stand
ard of the Prophet when the emer-
gency arose. With one powerful army
along the whole line of the Danube
from It's mouth to the Servian frontier,
and another driving the Turks before
it through Asia Minor, the Sultan may
well imagine that the emergency has
come.
The unfurling of this standard, the
"Sanyak- Sheriff" will present new
phase of the conflict. The standard
is as old as Mohammedanism itself.
1t was part of the flowing curtains
that adorned the room of Mohammed's
favorite wife, and has always been
carefully guarded from profane eyes
in the Seraglio. 1t matters littl. how
old it is, or what it is, however, to
Mohammedans. It is to them the
symbol of their faith, the standard of
the Prophet, the badge of Islam. 1t
calls upon 100000 Mohammedans
in European Turkey, ovor 10000, 900
in India, 100000 in Persia, and over
100, 900, 900 more scattered through
various parts of Asia and Africa, to
rally to the defense Of Islam against
the sIntdels" 1t is Of course impos
sible that Turkey could oyer organize
these immense hordes into regular
armies, regularly drilled and disciplin-
ed, to encounter the troops of Russia.
1t is not the purpose of Turkey to do
it. The unfurling of the standard is
an invitation to massacre and plumber
all who do not believe in Mohammed-
anism. It is declaration that every
Mohammedan who kills nine intidels,

Th9 River Pruth.

For o small stream $50 miles in
length the river Pruth has attained
quite a celebrity 10 the annals of
Mascovte and Turkish history. The
Russians have often crossed it before
on the same mission which leads
them to enter Roumanian territory
now, but heretofore they bave not
been prepared for the task that lay
before them. When Peter The Great
proceeded TO Jassy in 17i1, with
Catharne the obscure scullery maid
whom he married. he crossed the
Prutb with only 10000 mon, not be-
ing able 10 concentrate tho force OF
$50, 900 men which be had gathered
together IN southern Russia and
distributed at various points. The
Turks wero too quick for Peter, and
they crossed the Danube and were
on the banks Of the Pruth before be
was aware OF their intention, 200, 600
strong. Hern Peter was surrounded
and badly cut up, but he secured en-
armistice, aud gave to the Turks a
large amount Of Black Sea territory
he had seized. In 1870 the Empress
Catharine III defeated the Turks on
the Pruth and drove them across the
Danube. In 1853 The Gar Nicholas
ordered $4,000 men across the Prutb
bat they marched back again when
Austria sent her army OF 10000
men into the Danubian prlncipalities.
Then followed the reversoa in the
Crimea. The Russians arc now bet
ter prepared then they have ever
been for campaign on the Danube
for they have profted by the lesson
of former reverses around that river,
and have arranged to support each
advancing army corps by others
equally as strong The difficulty in
previous campaigns has been that
the Rnssians lacked celebrity of move
ment when it was essential The
military leaders have had abundant
opportunity to study the German
system of attack, and, noti5ly, Won
