Is A HOLY WAR POSSIBLE?

Continental and English newspapers
have been much exercised Of late over
the very evident desire of Italy to &C
quire footing on the southern shore
Of the Mediterranean by seizing Trip
oil. The general opinion is that the
result Of such an aggression would be
the re-opening of the entire Eastern
question, but in some quarters there
exists curious and, perhaps, not alto
gether unjustified apprehension that
the Italian policy would produce in
Africa and elsewhere a holy war worse
by far than at which in the eighties
swept the Soudanese provinces tempo
rarily out Of touch with civilization.
1t is a mistake to believe that Islam
ism is hopelessly impotent as a factor
in world politics. In Africa, espe-
cially in the Mediterranean lands, it
is particularly strong, and is growing
stronger daily as the ranks of the
faithful increase numerically. Various
centers Of Mussulmen organization are
always active in Northern Africa,
their object being to encourage the
natives in the practice Of warlike exer-
cises and TO prepare them for a conflict
with the forces of Christendom. OF
course, the idea of a general holy war
is in great measure q Pigment of
Mahometan fanaticism and of Europ-
can imagination. but the existence Of
belief in its probability, or rather it's
inevitability, indicates condition of
unrest which the powers Of Europe,
outside OF Italy. are apparently IN
willing to aggravate.
Ever since her disastrous Abyssinian
expedition Italy has been endeavoring
to redeem her lost military prestige.
Many Of her politicians and most Of
her newspapers have found the oppor-
NhO NhAOh
to them to afford warrant for the
occupation of Tripolitsn territory by
Italian troops and the blockade of
Tripoltsn ports by Italian ships. They
are deluding themselves with the idea
that the native population of Tripoli
would welcome any foreign interfer-
enoe which promises them a release
from the burdens of Turkish rule, but
they forget that to the Tripolitan the
yoke Of an unbeliever would be
thousand times more hateful than the
domination Of the Turk. The danger
involved in the present attitude of
Italy is not one to be lightly risked.
That attitude might conceivably pre-
cipitste a catastrophe which would
affect every European nation holding
territory in Africa. New York Sun.

brought into use to carry the victims
away for treatment
While this was going on the scene
about the structure was heartrending.
The building is located in a section
largely inhabited by Hebrews, many of
whom were caught in the terrible crush.
Parents and relatives of the unfortu-
nate girls were screaming and rushing
about the streets like mad, and 1t was
almost impossible for the police officials
to restrain the mothers and relatives of
supposed victims from entering the
building.
The work Of rescuing the girls from
the windows was necessarily tedious
They were so excited that they did not
seem to understand the pleadings of the
firemen, AT nearly every window of
the huge structure We're girls screaming
and crying for help.
Many were so excited that it was with
the greatest difficulty that they We're
prevented from jumping from the build
ing, Notwithstanding that there was not
a sign of fire and their rescue seemed
only the work Of few moments.

The Connecticut Typothetae held its
regular meeting last evening. The
members and their invited guests had
dinner at the Union League club at 6
o'clock, after which they repaired to
the hall of the Chamber of Commerce.
Hon. w. H. Lee presided. The most
important business at the hall was a
paper read by George French on cart
and Printing Mr.. French Is very well
known throughout the craft in the
country he being one of the most YER
satile contributors to contemporary
printing literature His paper dwelt
with the harmonious blending of colors
as well as their chemical composition
and effects as applied to the printing
business. He said that none Of the pig
ments and chemical salts used in print
ing inks possessed any color of them
selves, but reflected the color rays in a
way that was dependent upon the ab
sorption and resistance of the light
waves. The colors are reflected to the
eyes in proportion as the white light
is decomposed and dispersed. He
spoke at length on the primary colors
and their composite formations as well
as the proper blending of the primary
colors to produce harmonizing shades
and artistic effects. His observations
on color printing were interest
ing and timely, tending, as they
did, to eucidate many of the problems
that are apt to puzzle the printer in
these days when three color letter press
work is actively engaging the efforts of
the photographic press in masterful pro-
duction and artistic conceptions.
Mr. Frenchs remarks on the proper
laying out of the typographical page for
artistic book work displayed his mas
terry of the details of the art.
His reflections along this line were
by c. S. Morehouse and
the interchange of experiences and OBJ
between the two gentlemen
tended to make last nights meeting Of
the Typothetae one of the most inter-
asting held in this city.
At the conclusion Of the meeting
Hon. Mr.. Lee moved that the society
tender Mr.. French a vote of thanks,
His motion prevailed by the unanimous
affirmatio of those present.

question of giving prizes for fairs and
advertisements in programmes had
come up at the annual meeting and
been referred to a committee. He call
ed upon Louis A. Mansfield, chairman
of that committee, to make a report,
and Mr. Mansfield made report in
which the question was thoroughly dis
cussed stating that the custom cost
business men a great deal of money
and that the evil appeared in great
many schemes, including programme
advertisements, trading stamps, giving
to society and lodge fairs, etc. The adj
vertisements for the programmes were
solicited by canvassers to whom the
privilege was farmed out and mer-
chants might refuse to advertise with
out fear of consequences. The report
referred to write UPS in alleged mer-
camille papers as the meanest scheme
of ALL" and advised to avoid it, "to
kick the fellow out" The committee
recommended the passage of the fol-
lowing resolution:
, Resolved, That each and every mem
her of the New Haven Business Mems
association discontinue all programme
and kindred advertising, including that
of circulars, fairs and churches, and
that every member discontinue giving
articles or money to societies and or
ganizati tons of every kind.
The resolution was discussed by ex-
Police Commissioner Fogarty, the
builder d. B. Street, Mr.. Hyman, R. C.
Pratt, C. N. Parker, and others.
President Whiting of the Bridgeport
association by request told of the oper-
alton of similar resolution adopted by
that organization. He said that it had
operated very successfully, but it did
