has SO long enabled this Mohammadan
nation to maintain it's unique position
among the powers of the old world.
If history has demonstrated one fact
more thoroughly than another it is the
folly and futility of permitting the
Turks to hold sway over Christian
peoples. The oft-recurring Armenian
massacres have fully demonstrated the
fact that the Turk is a blood thirsty
fanatic, and that underneath his din
lomatic assembling is a deep-seated
| and ineffacable hatred of all Christian
| peoples, whom he looks upon as here
tics and whose slaughter he regards
as an act of virtue Just now the
beautiful island of Crete is endeayor-
ing to throw off the yoke of Turkey
and become part of Greece to which
country she is warmly attached by the
double ties of kinship and tradition.
Her fate rests with the Christian ma
tions of Europe, who have it entirely in
their power to relieve her of Turkish
rule. 1t would seem as ifSthere should
| be no question as to their decision: but
