to the state department. said there was

took the message to the cabinet meet
ing. where the answer will be framed.
The state department is steadfastly
pursuing the lire of policy laid down
at the beginning of this bozer trouble
-of avoiding any interference With
Chinese internal affairs beyond such
| measures as nay be absolutel y ueces
sary for the protection Of American life
and property there. Especal'y is it
determined 10 avoid commitment to me
policies of any Of tie European powers
which might involve the United States
in trouble. Therefore, Notwithstanding
the oniooas news Conveyed in Admiral
KempE's cablegrau. it seems entirely
probable that Miois.er Coogcr will be
directed to stick 20 the same line OF
policy which he had pursued to this
time.

orders a.e subject to the approval o;
no one. At Tlen Tsio. 40 miles up
the river, which the admiral expects
to be attacked tomorrow, the foreign

life seem to suggest particular instances
as the chief sources of the imaginary
details.
These instances are Krishna, Mithra,
and Buddha.
Matthew asserts that Jesus was born
in Bethlehem, according to prophecy,
and that soon after his birth wise men
from the East, led by a star, came to the
place to offer homage, thereby arousing
the jealousy of Herod, who ordered the
massacre of all the children in that
region of the same age as the new born
Savior.
The Magi belong to the story of
Mithra, deity of the ancient Persians,
originally personifcation of the sun.
He was said to have been born of a
virgin in cave, on the twenty fifth of
December, an allegorical representation
of the emergence of the sun from the
darkness of the winter solstice. At the
period of the composition of the Gospels
the cult of Mithra was familiar to the
Western nations, and had long been
established in Rome.
Indian Mythology.
The Roman catacombs contain pic.
ture of the Virgin seated holding the
infant Mithra on her lap, and before
them three men in Persian dress are
kneeling and offering gifts.
The Massacre of the Innocents is
taken from the story of Krishna, the
favorite deity of India, the eighth in
carnation of Vishnu, and also personi-
fication of the sun.
Krishna was miraculously conceived
by divine agency, and his uncle, the
Rajah of Madura, fearing to be sup
planted in his kingdom, determined to
slay the infant at it's birth, but the plan
being frustrated by the vigilance of
Krishna's protectors, the rajah ordered
the massacre of all the male children of
the same age among his subjects. Such
deed might be performed under
despotic Indian ruler in ancient times,
but not in Roman province in the
time of the Caesars
The pride and glory of the Romans
was their carefully developed and rigor-
ously executed system of law, and no
Roman governor would have ventured
to destroy generation of the emperor's
subjects at birth without leave and
without record. If such a wholesale
murder had been accomplished there

proof of the supernatural powers of

Other Miracles.
Many miracles are told also of Yes.
pasian at Alexandria through the power
of the god Scraps. A blind man was
cured by amounting his eyes with spittle,
and lame man by touching his feet.
In the time of Josephus a prophecy
was spread abroad of the coming of the
future ruler of the world out of the i'm.
perial tent of Vespasian.
AS for the Jews, their expectation of
a Messiah, victorious temporal ruler
and deliverer from the power of the
Romans, was much stronger and more
generally diffused during the century
following the beginning of the Christian
era than at the time of the supposed
birth of Christ.
It is significant fact that of the four
evangelists only two make any claim to a
divine paternity and a virgin maternity
for Jesus: Mark speaks of him as the
son of Joseph and his wife, and John
regards him from the later Gnostic
point of view, without reference to his
earthly parentage and human birth.
Marks gospel is now generally con.
sidered the earliest, and the story of the
supernatural birth in Matthew and Luke
to have been later addition, while the
writer of John did not compile his mar
rative until after the development of
Gnosticism in the new sect.
Other Virgin-bOrn SaviOrs.
Although there were so many ex-
amples of supernatural birth to serve as
a pattern for the fable of Jesus, still
various circumstances in the story of his
