HOLY WAR IN TURKISH DOMAIN.
Always Preceded by n Display of the
Sacred Green Flag.


AS the interests of the Christian portion of
the universe are now centered in an effnrt to
relieve the distress of people of Armenia, an
Aslatlc province of the Turkish empire. and
as rumors have been current that the troops
OF the sultan now concentrating in that prov
ince for the ostensible purpose of putting
down an incipient rebellion of the miserable
people have displayed the "green banner. !"
which means "holy war; it will be of in
terest to trace as far as possible the origin
and meaning of "jejad," or "holy war.
1t is understood to be Mohammedan doc
trine that jejad or holy war, can only be
proclaimed by the Sheik-ul Islam, the re-
ligious deputy Of the sultan himself. The
proclamation is performed by unfolding the
san5aksherif, or flag of the prophet, which
is made of green silk. with a crescent at the
top Of the stall to which is attached a horse
hair plume. This flag is deposited in the
mosque of St. Sophia, at Constantinople. It
is not, however the original flag of the pro-
phet, as that ensign was white, and was
made from the turban of the koreish which
Mohammed captured. For this, some time
later was substituted a black flag, made of
the petticoat Of Ayesha, the favorite wife of
the prophet, and in whose arms he died
Omar, the second Moslem caliph obtained
possession of the flag by conquest, and it
passed subsequently into the hands of the
abassides and the caliphs Of Bagdad and Kali
mira and was brought to Europe by Amurath
III. and deposited in the seraglio at Con-
stantinople. When the flag was changed in
color from black to green is not known, but
according to the doctrine of Mohammed the
sultan and his deputy have the sole authority
to unfuri the flag over Constantinople and
proclaim a "holy war;" war against all
Christendom, and one in which every species
of atrocity is perpetrated in the name of the
prophet on the unbelievers The unfurling of
the green flag among the Turkish soldiery, If
there be truth in the report. may not be from
the orders Of the sultan, as there is large
element of the Mohammedans, particularly
those of Arabia and the Holy land, who do
not recognize the legitimacy Of the claim OF
the Ottoman Turks to the caliphate and would
not wait for the orders of the ruler If they
are anxious for jejad against the hated
Christians. II the sultan should attempt or
If any part of his dominion independent of his
orders inaugurate a holy war 1t becomes the
duty of every Christian nation to take
prompt action In the protection of the help
less people that will be exposed to every kind
of outrage that the devilsh ingenuity of the
Moslem religion will contrive to invent. Per-
sonal interests and aggrandzement should be
promptly laid aside in the cause Of humanity.

There was smart recovery in foreign stocks

The American can always be trusted to
make his way, no matter what may be his
environments. A story told by Andrew D.
White, ex-minfster to Germany and Russia
illustrates this fact. Mr.. White stated that
once when he was at Berlin after all the
diplomatic corps had been presented to his
wife, the Chinese minister, in pursuance to
custom, brought round his principal seere-
taries and presented them to his colleagues.
Among these was tall, fine-ooking man,
evidently a European, dressed in a superb
court costume and covered with gold lace.
AS his Chinese colleague introduced him to
Mr.. White in German the conversation was
continued in that language, when suddenly
this splendidly dressed parsonage said in Eng
lish "Mr. White, l do not see why we
should be talking in German. I come from
Waterloo, in Western New York, and 1 was
educated at Rochester university under your
friend, DR.. Anderson Mr. White said that
had the gentleman dropped through the cell
ing it would have not seemed more surpris-
ing and that 1t was hard to believe that the
pretty little village of Waterloo, or even
Rochester, with all the added power Of this
noble university, should have been able to
develop a creature so gorgeous. 1t turned
out that the gentleman concerned, after grad
uating at the University Of Rochester had
gone to China with certain missionaries, had
then been taken into the Chinese service
and had proved to be thoroughly intelli
gent, patriotic man, faithful to his duties
to China, as well as to the United States.
