Edward VII. died In order that the
reign OF the new king might be be-
gun propitiously. But IL Is only
truce The affairs Of the British EN-
pire approach a crisis involving the
very life OF that greatest and most
powerful political organization Of
modern history.
British sea-power, upon which reefs
the whole fabric OF the empire. Is
threatened, for the first time since
Trafalgar. by the rapid increase in
the German navy.
British Industrial supremacy, upon
the performance of which England
long ago staked its material prosper

world, and the competition of Ger

ROME, July 5.-The American
ambassador. John C A Lelshman.
has brought to the attention of the
premier and the foreign office the
situation arising from recent attacks
upon baptist missionaries In the prov

strained by force from doing the
missionaries injury On all sides
arose the cry of down with the Bap-
lists" Mrs. Stuart was hit on the
chest, the arm and the leg while the
chelf of police was slightly wounded.
The soldiers with fixed bayonets
formed circle around the Americans
and protected them to the entrance
OF the Baptist church. The mob
however, stoned the church from
until 10 o'clock at night breaking
the windows. but doing no serious
damage Other soldiers were called
and according to Mr.. Stuart pre-
vented a massacre by the infuriated
Italians, who now numbered several
thousands
The missionaries were obliged to
remain In the church the entire night.
Eventually Mr. Stuart succeeded In
sending a telegram to the American
ambassador at Rome. The following
day 400 soldiers were sent to the
village and the missionaries were re-
leased from their dangerous posi-
tlon Both the premier and the for
elgn minister have given assurances
that the measures will be taken to
prevent such disturbances In the fu
ture and also an investigation of the
matter will be made.
