The Temple of Burma.

Among the many interesting fea-
lures to be found in Burma the
numberless temples figure most
prominently. One group consists
of no fewer than $50 pagodas, on
each of which is recorded on stone
q section of the law of Buddha, the
founder of the Buddhist religion,
which embraces millions of devo-
tees. The reverence and awe with
which the images Of Buddha are re-
garded are hardly less wonderful
than the fabulous sum which has
been speEt on the erection of tenn
Piles to his fame by poverty stricken
communities. In India and the adj
joining countries Tia proceeds Of
the sacrifices offered by the people
are devoted toward the erection of
gorgeous temples, which accounts
for the thousands to be found in
districts where Buddhism holds
sway.-Wide World Magazine.

MISSIONARIES ARE
ATTACKED IN ITALY
Mob in Province of AveIlino
Stones Baptist Church and
Besieges Inmates

ROME. July 5.-The American am
bassador, John G. "A. Leishman, has
brought to the attention of the premier
and the foreign office the situation aris-
ing from recent attacks upon Baptist
missionaries in the province of Avellino.
At the time of the earthquake in that
district early in June James p Stuart
of st Louis, the representative of the
American board of Baptist missions in
Italy, and other missionary workers
were attacked by a mob and were es-
corted out of the district by detach-
ment of soldiers.
After a conference with Premier Luz
zatti at Rome, Stuart returned to the
Avellino district, where another attack
was made upon him and his COM
panions. He telegraphed a statement of
the affair to the American ambassador,
who requested him TO come to Rome
This Stuart did. and he had long con-
ference with Ambassador Leishman to-
day To the ambassador he reported
further details of the occurrence.
Arriving at the outskirts of Avellino
Stuart accompanied by three other
missionaries, was met by the chief of
police several constables and a dozen
soldiers. A bowling crowd of natives
quickly surrounded the carriage. So
demonstrative did they become that it
was only with difficulty they could be
restrained by force from doing the mis-
sionaries injury. On all sides arose the
cry Of Down with the Baptists" and a
shower of stones fell about the car
riage Stuart was hit in the chest the
arm and the leg. while the chief of po-
lice was slightly wounded.
The soldiers with drawn bayonets
formed circle around the Americans
and escorted them to the entrance of
the Baptist church. The mob however
stoned the church from until 10
O'Clock at night, breaking all the win
dows but did no serious damage.
The besieged missionaries were
Obliged to remain in the church the
entire night. Eventually Stuart suc-
ceeded in sending a telegram to the
American ambassador at Rome The
following day a detail of 400 soldiers
wer called 10 the village and the mis-
sionaries were released from their dam
gerous position.
Both Premier Luzzatti and the for
eign minister have given assurances
that measures will be taken to prevent
such disturbances in the future and
also that an investigation of the mat
ter viii be made.

chants of St. Johns because they
do not look at the matter in the

tell, but it would be consistent for
him to do so. We have nothing to
say about the man, but we do re-

one. As far as losing the subscrip-

ing it out and then looking for the
hole. On The whole, we are glad
to have men with such narrow, con.
tracted views removed from the
list. So if there are any more in
St. Johns who want to suppress
free speech, who are opposed to
reading anything in the way OF
argument against their belief, who
believe a newspaper has not the
same right to argue the matter as
the man on the street corner, who
is the enemy Of all who cannot see
the issue in the same light as him

cramped, little soul that he is op-
posed 10 reasonable argument, we
invite him to come to the Office and
stop his paper. We will publish
his name in the paper so the whole
community may know what brave
hero (O he really is. We intend
to keep hammering away until

in favor of annexation we shall

The blowing up with dynamite
of the Los Angeles paper was a
most deplorable affair. That there
are such 6ends In the world Is al.
most inconceivable. The printers
are not to blame for what appears
in a newspaper. They obey the
commands OF the ditor-in.chief,
and what appears in the paper or
what does not appear is absolutely
nothing " them. And yet, these
are the orbs that had TO suffer in
this damnable outrage. The party
responsible for the utterances es-
capped and the property was in
sured to the full limit. The busi-
ness of the newspaper will be in.
creased instead OF diminished by
the act. What, therefore, was

left to suffer. II Is not believable
