Magazine is concerned, the tales People
We Pass, which will be gathered together
for early publication. An important
contribution to the discussion of the AZ
menian question is made by DR.. William
H. Thompson in an article called ARABIA
Islam and the Eastern Question. In
this paper he shows that persecution OF t .a,

of the Christians of Damascus, was due
not to local or temporary causes, but TO

cal teaching of the Mohammedan religion
| According to DR.. Thomson, civilization
has little to expect from the enlightenment
of the Turk or any other Moslem.

| The significance of the temperance
movement in the Roman Catholic church
| is commented on in the Progress of the
World department of the September Re
view of Reviews. The editor concludes
that the best Catholic public sentiment,
quite as truly as the best Protestant
public sentiment, is in favor of law
enforcing policy toward the saloons. The
Review for September also calls atten-
| ton to the change in European senti-
ment on the liquor question, as shown
especially in the establishment of the
| French monopoly of the manufacture and
wholesale supply of strong liquors, in the
| work of the Belgian commission, and in
| the still more important action taken by
| Russia in setting up government mo-
nopoly of the entire wholesale and retail
traffic in liquors throughout the empire.

A unique short story is one Of the feat
ures of Scribners Magazine for Septem-
Der. Alexander Black, we'll known
journalist, some time ago conceived the
plan of uniting photography and fiction
that u.s. Of illustrating a story with a
series of Photographic illustrations in
which, as in play, the characters move
about against real background and
illustrate the various points of the dia-
logue by actual poses. Mr.. Black further
carried his scheme of realism to the point
of introducing Mr.. Chauncey Depew as
one of the characters, and he is actually
photographed at his desk in the interview
told Of in the story. In the magazine the
rill of text and the accompanying lus-
trations are side by side in deadly par
allel columns" thus in a manner fulfill
ing prophecy made several years ago by
Octave Uzanne in this same magazine.
Other fiction in this number is the second
and concluding part of Anthony Hopes
