Under the somewhat misleading title
of Macedonian lntrigues and Their
Fruits" Capt. Gambler, r. n, contrib
utes to the Fortnightly Review very
remarkable and extremely interesting
article upon Turkey and her future;
or, more correctly, upon the Turks
and the Mohammedans generally, and
their present state and future aspira-
tons. With the Macedonian problem,
which is the nominal subject of his ar
ticle, Capt. Gambler deals briefly, his
main points being that none OF the
Macedonian races is fit to dominate the
country, and that the true Macedonl-
ans are the Moslems. He ridicules the
idea of degenerate Greece founding
new Byzantium via Macedonia, and
SCOTS at the idea of Italian preten-
sions in Albania. LEFT singlehanded
in an encounter with Turkey in Al
bania or in Tripoli, the fiasco OF the
Abyssinian campaign would be repeat
ed ten-fold."
1t is the Turk who is really on top in
| the east, and he intends to remain so.
There is no question of degeneracy in
that quarter. The Turk is not an expir-
ing race. When we remember how the
Ottoman empire has dwindled away we
are apt to think of theTurks as dying
people. But looking under the sur
face, and remembering that Islamism
is a matter of faith, not of territory,
one cam we'll agree with many Moslems
that the shrinkage of their power in
Europe is not misfortune. A deep
thinking Turk once remarked to Capt.
Gambler: "He would be bold man
who would predict that the polytheism
of the Christian would not give place in
another 600 years to the less compll-
| Gated belief in the one God of Moham-
med" The 600 years represent the ad-
vantage in age which Christianity has
had over Islamism.
TO keep alive the faith i'm the One
and Indivisible God is the set purpose

A Dog That Rules a King.

Dignity, pomp and etiquette are par
ticularly strong points with Edward
VII, says London correspondent Of
the Boston Herald, and woe betide any
light-minded subject who overlooks
the smallest detail of dress or deport-
ment in the royal presence-that is,
woe betide all such subjects save one.
The exception is Jack, stray Irish
terrier, who strolled into Marlborough
house not long ago, adopted the king
without leave or ceremony, took
charge of his majesty forthwith, and
has helped to run the empire ever
since. 1t can be said without exagger-
alton that no one item of the business
of the king of England gets so much
attention daily as the care of Jack. His
food and exercise are personally SUI
pervised by his royal comrade, and the
general question of his health and con-
duct are matter of personal concern
to the king.
