Whatever sympathy may have been
felt with the revolutionists at Tabriz,
there was no denying that the move
ment was against the established gov
eminent of Persia. and the grave i'm
propriety OF an outsider taking an ac-
tive part must he apparent. Homer c.
Baskerville. young American who
was killed while leading sortie of the
revolutionists, evidently was a gallant
and impulsive youth. but he was an
American citizen and a missionary in
the service Of his church. Leading
revolutions was quite apart from his
political and religious duties. The dis
avowal OF his acts by the government
OF the United States and by the church
board he served prevented the matter
from becoming an international ques-
ton; but it Is pitiful that young man
with SO many commendable qualities
should fall q victim to grave error of
Judgment and that thus there should
be brought to an untimely end a life
full of promise Of high usefulness.
