volt of the Christians in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, who were secretly assist
ed by Servia and Montenegro. Russian
interference was also strikingly shown
upon the conclusion of the Chino-Japa-
nese war when the bear deprived little
Japan of the fruits of her well earned
victory refusing to allow her to take
any territory save the island of For
mosa.
Russia, it will thus be seen, would
have no just cause for protesting should
other powers attempt to dictate regard
ing the cars attitude toward those of
his subjects who entertain religious
views differing from those held by the
established church, the Greek church.
The fact remains, nevertheless, that
Russia has gone on record as being
prepared to take as a personal afront
any outside interference in religious
matters, no matter how critical and
brutal may become religious disputes
within the cars domains. 1t will be
patent to any one that the government
of the bear is ready to fight on the
slightest pretext, and it would seem as
though the long expected conflict were

Much depends on the course pursued
in the near future by the cars adj

are SerRius de White, the minister OF

may not unaptly be called the business

all the girls in Topeka were learning to
play golf and investing in golf suits

sition of territory which had so long
been part of Mexico. The recent con-
test with Spain may also be cited as an
example of hostilities following what
was deemed interference. since the

Abroad we find similar cases. The

rily caused by the insistence of France
upon territorial concessions from Prus-
STA as compensation for the aggran-

on French interference with the Ger

her new found powers, was determined
to make a test of her strength by en-

Crimean war carried on by Great Brit

the claim of Russia to be protector of
the Greek church in Turkey. The OBJ

Russian encroachments. just as will be
the object of any war directed against
Russia today. Russian Entertainments,

Russo-Turkish war of 1S77-7s, the con-

Very few people play ping pong in
Topeka this summer and although most
houses still retain their ping pong
tables they are now quite generally de-
serted that last summer were the cen
ter of attraction at every indoor social
gathering. No game has succeeded
ping pong in favor, indeed the ping
pong fad was something rather out of
the ordinary, the kind of craze that we
don't see every year. 1t was something
like the roller skating craze and the BIZ
cycle craze, except that being more i'm
mediately within the reach of every one
people tired of it even more quickly
than they did of its predecessors.
Golf, tennis or none of the other
games ever, even at the first, rivalled
ping pong in universal popularity. Golf
and tennis are the kind of sport that
have calm, steady, untheatrieal fol-
lowing. varying little from year to year

of heavy vehicles at the outer sides and
lighter and faster ones in the center. The
wheels run in grooves with appliance

direction. A line of passenger autos will
be. operated by the company and private
