Nahometans in Bombay are protesting against
sanitary measures. on the ground that they are
contrary to the laws Of the Prophet. Apparent
ly they would rather obey the Prophet and die
of the plague than violate his laws and live.
They might be humored in their choice, If only
they themselves We're concerned. But the welfare
and safety of millions of others are at stake
and, with all due regard for religious scruples
humanity must be reckoned more precious than
creeds, 1t has for years been notorious that
the Mahometan pilgrimages to Mecca have been

EnrIi.h C.biu.t secrets,

Secrets of state are probably the best
kept of all secrets. When cabinet min
listers In England first are admitted to
the priyy council. they have to take q
solemn oath not to make known the
conversation OF proceedings OF cabinet
councils or any communications they
may have with the queen or with an
other minister. They cannot give q
hint of such things even to the highest
members of the government who are
not cabinet ministers. No clerk or sec
retary is allowed to be present at cabt.
net councils. no written record IL kept,
and 1t is the. custom not to take any
notes: hence no one but the crown and
the ministers ever knows what has re-
ally been said and decided at cabinet
meetings. The oath of secrecy lasts TO
the end of life. An ex-cabinet minister
is as much bound by II as an actual
cabinet minister.
ANY conversation a minister or peer
may have with the crown on state mat
ters must also be kept secret. So must
letters to and from the sovereign And
even communications that have passed
between sovereigns and ministers Of
former reigns must not be divulged.
But in cases of extreme urgency the
crown could and would allow q breach
OF the oath OF secrecy.

An Awful Revenge in Store-The
Powers Give Up Hope for Foreign
ers' Safety and plan Crusade
of West Against the East.

London, July 15.-Rulers and
cabinet ministers of every nation
in Europe are up late tonight and
one question is.on every tongue
Where will it end.
Never since the thirty years
war have the war offices of
Europe been so wrought up.
Every where it is preparation for
war on a grand scale. Europe
is armirg for a crusade. The
blood that has been shed in Pekin
is crying aloud TO heaven, and
such revenge as the world is
preparing for China has never
been dreamed of before.
To some nations a world wide
war seems inevitable. To others
it is only campaign of slaugh.
ter in revenge for slaughter.
There is an ominous silence in
some capitals, a silence brought
about by rivalry, by watching
what is going on in other capi-
tails. For each nation ies and
fears the possibility of others
reaping advantage from the gen
eral catastrophe.
You can not get an official
statement from any one high in
authority, but the wires are
humming with orders to arsenals
and dockyards.
Lord Salisbury says the con.
cert of powers is like steam
roller-hard to get started, but
terrible and all-crushing when il
once gets moving.
The steam roller is about tC
move. And the oldest empire in
the world must crumble tC
atoms under its crushing weight
The crime of the yellow dragon
of the east has reused the chiv
airy of the west as nothing has
reused it since the crescent flew

Lion and Bear and Eagle are
rushing their cohorts To kill anG

tate and desecrate, for they
know that only a campaign O
ruthless slaughter will bring
China to its senses.
1t is to the United States tha
all Europe looks. Why, it is hare
to say. But there are tens o
thousands af American troops il
the Philippines, within few
days of the scene of the trouble
and all Europe feels that thes'
can best be used in China.
