The Greco-Turkish War.

Without formal declaration on
either side so far as we know state
of war actually exists between Greece
and Turkey There has been an
actual clashing of arms and what the
outcome will be no man can tell.
Enormous interests are at stake and
the final decision may tell the world
that Mohammedism is wiped off the
soil of Europe.
| OF late there has been great deal
said in the newspapers concerning the
differences which exist between Greece
and Turkey. Some of the discussions
have been learned and deep and have
thrown light on the differences as to
certain territory; as to Russian infiu-
ence with both the sultan and King
George, and of the interests of English
bondholders, but none of these things
/ seems to be the real issue. Hide as
! far as possible as one may from the
/ real facts of the case there still remains
/ the issue of religion. Without much
doubt that question is the center
around which these other points
form a mere corona.
Centuries of abuse, of coercion by
other powers, of despoliation and mas
sacre, of pillage of homes and lndlgnl-
ties to women, have not taught the
Christian of Bosnia, Montenegro, the
Balkan range, of Crete or OF Greece
to find in his Bible love for the Turk.
The Athenian and every Christian
about the wonderful country of the
Danube says:
Love thy neighbor as thyself-if he
be not Turk. >
The issue being one of religion, and
Turkey having four or even more times
the strength of Greece, it is not at all
probable that the popular sentiment
of Europe will permit Turkey to hold
the upper hand for any length OF time.
As an out growth of this strife all
Europe may pe plunged into bloodshed.
England, as the hereditary enemy of
Russia, will be compelled to side with
Greece should the ear find it conven-
lent to help the unspeakable Turk.
The Acknowledgement of Turkey would
benefit the car more than anybody
else, and he can be depended on not
to lose the opportunity. 1t would be
to Austria's interest to check the car
in this Germany may side with the
car, which, if he does, will have the
effect of throwing France into the hands
of the English. The possibilities of the
war are beyond, estimate.
AS to the war between Turkey and
Greece, it does not, of course, follow
tha5 because the sultan has standing
army four times the size OF
the Greek army that he will
have his own way with Greece.
The spirit of Marathon has not left
the Greeks, and nation is aroused
which will fight for freedom. Then it
is not likely that the porte can rely on
it's other Christian subjects, and it may
have trouble elseWere. This will put
the Turk to extremeties, and we may
look for a rise of the Moslems through
out the empire. Looked at from any
point there is something terrible to
contemplate in that event, but we do
not see how it can be avoided. The
Turk will in that case be sent out of
Europe forever, but it will be at ter
riDle price.
There are 500 years of bitter hatred
and antagonism back of the issue.
The battles will be concentrated fan
atheism and the outcome, it is hoped,
will be the end of Mohammedanism.

THE boast Waukegan makes of being
larger than Kenosha is not borne out
by the vote cast there Tuesday for
Mayor. She cast vote of 1,734,
while we cast $3.50 about And the
vote was a full one in both places.
There is no way in which that burg
compares with Kenosha.

Now that Persia has determined to
send another minister TO the United

him home by poking fun at his name,
as they did seven or eight years ago,
when the first Persian minister, Hadji
Hassan Ghooly Khan, left us in disgust.

a bomb into the camp of the Sheridan

that the fact that the bill made no

Warm words were followed by per-

billiard finally got possession of the

that Johnston was getting the better
of him he buried the pick in the lat

through his body. He drew it out
with the blood dripping from it and
threatened TO kill any one who at
tempted TO arrest him, and made his
way out of the mines. He threw the

mouth of the mine and escaped.
Johnston died almost instantly. Two

1t was one of the most thrilling trag-

A NEW ARMY UNIFORM.
General Miles Has Decided one an En-

Special Wire to Sunday Light.

Washington, ID. G. Dec. 1S.-The
United States army is to change it's
style of dress uniform. General Miles
and his staff have been considering
the matter for some time, and the sug-
gestion which the general has decided
on in all probability will be adopted at
the present sitting of Congress.
The cavalry will be put in hussar
uniforms of black for busby, tight tu-
mic braided across the breast, riding
trousers and Hessian boots. They will
excel even the smartest of the English
French, German or Austrian cavalry,
and will make that branch of the Uni
ted States army one of the prettiest
dressed in the world The helmet will
be entirely discarded.
For the artillery and infantry will
be adopted busby similar to those
worn by our cavalry in the revolution,
and by the city troops today. The
change in the artillery and infantry
uniforms will be slight.
