these popular authors take wide range,
and there is the usual quota of excellent
verse and entertaining miscellany.
The Century Magazine for January is
rather exceptionally we'll provided with
illustrated descriptive articles. The
opening paper by Marion Crawford, called
"a Kaleidoscope of Rome" is an attrao-
tive medley of historical impressions and
contemporary comments, wherein the au-
thor has succeeded, however, to remark
able degree in expressing in very
brief space the essence of Roman life as
1t has developed through the centuries.
The other illustrated papers of the num-
be- are on "Tribal Life among the Oma-
has," from personal studies by Alice g.

threaten Turkish supremacy in the Sui
tan's Asiatic domain. The great major
ity of the murders have been comm tilted
in cold blood when .the victims were en-
tirely helpless Whole villages have been
swept away by fire and sword where there
was neither the ability nor disposition to
resist And now the Sultan insists that
starvation shall be allowed to finish the
work which the sword began, and SO or
bids the Red Cross Society to enter on its
errand of mercy. 1t has been question
whether the Turkish government was
directly responsible for the Armenian
barbarities, and it has been argued with
good deal of force that it would have
stopped them if it could, but was power
less to do so because of the fanatlcism
of the people and the feebleness Of its
control over the outlying provinces Of it's
empire. But this refusal to allow sucoor
to be carried to the starving and helpless
makes SO charitable view untenable.

II the Turkish minister at Washington
has nothing better to offer in defence of
che Porte's refusal to allow the Red Cross
Society to carry relief to the suffering
.Armenians than was contained in his
recent authorized statement he would
have done better to keep Silent altogether
1t is mixture of misleading assertion
and bad logic. There has been
no attack upon the Mohammedan
religion in meetings in this country,
except so far as it has identified
itself with and been responsible for the
murders in Armenia. What has been at
tackled is the ineffioiency or savagery OF
government that permits for months it's
subjects to be murdered by the thousands
and their property destroyed for no better
reason than that they differ in race and
religion from the great mass of the Sui
tan 8 people. The pretence that the Ar
menians are rebellious subjects and that
they have been killed in the process OF
subduing instruction is most shallow
one. 1t is offered simply because it is the
only alternative to confessing that these
murders have been deliberate and for
the purpose of extinguishing a race whom
the Turks hate because they differ from
them in religion and are rapidly becom-
Ang numerous and thrifty enough to
