a missionary of Egypt, of the United Pres
byterian Church. on Egypt"
George Washburn, president of Robert
College, In Constantinople. said: Contrary
to seeming belief, missionaries in Turkey
have no political purposes whatever. All
that they ask of the Turkish government
is that they be given the rights guaranteed
by the treaties existing between the two
countries. The positions taken by Ameri-
can missionaries is the same as the posi-
ton taken by the United States govern
ment. In the language of Mr.. Blaine: For
US to ask of the Turkish government rights
for missionaries that we do not ask for
merchants would be unjust. To ask for less
would be still more unjust. The mission
aries are confident the government will
protect the treaty rights of all its citizens
and they are willing to leave the situation
in the hands of the President and the able
secretary of state"

formerly missionary to Turkey spoke
briefly on Turkey; DR.. Edward Riggs on
Greece. and Rev. c. T. Wilson on Jerusa-
lem and mission work in Palestine.

Philadelphia Times.

We do not always stop TO consider that
the British army not only has been trans
ported thousands of miles from home but
that its objective point, Pretoria, is about
as far from the seaport as Chicago from
Philadelphia, and the region where il is
operating is about as favorable for mil
itary movements as the Rocky mountains.
To have got the army there at all is q
considerable achievement; that ii shall
always move on schedule time is little
too much to expect. That We have been
kept as we'll informed as we have been
of IL operations in South Africa is
striAzg illustration of the development
of the modern telegraph. 1t cannot be
difficult, however, 10 shut off information
