ITALY WAR.

Unless Japan finds to interfere, the
war IN China will after while cease through ex-
hauSlOn. Whether as republic or Il cOnStitu-
tional monarchy cannot yet be determined, but
human nature has its limitations, and the Chi
neSe will after while grow weary Of killing
each other
But no man can fix date when tranquility
will come from this war which Italy has set in
motion iii north Africa The religion of Islam
is one that directly appeals to half savage half
c1lhzed and sensual men, and it is growing faster
than is the Christian religion among all the dark
races Of Africa and Asia. 1t claims to sway
one-SXth Of the human race, and included i'll its
embrace are Turkey and Arabia, all the fighting
Bcrbers of north Africa and is spread from
western Africa to eastern Asia.
The western nations of Europe tried not to
Subdue but to beat back the Moslem from the
holy sepuchrc in the cr,sades and retired dis
comlited. Indeed had not the sea fight of he
panto terminated as it did there is no telling
row far Europe would have been penetrated
and held by the men whose religion promises them
sensual paradise for all who die in battle with
unbeeverS.
The young Turks do not want this war to
continue. The appeal to the United States to in
crpose, which of course. is not possible for
it is principle which has always been adhered to
by our government to avoid any entangling al
ianceS Witli-the powers of the old world
The young Turks are striving against fearful
basis and do not desire to be diverted from that
mighty task
But Turkey has an army which approximates
million of men. that have been splendidly train
ed by Europeanrained officers. 1t will be re
membered that after the Crimean war the great

tons nearly made for the beginning of the uni
cation and enlargement of Germany, when Won
Noltle was called home to place the German army
in fighting form. OF late years German officers
have been employed in the same way in Turkey.
While the young Turks want IalyS war in
lripoli to stop, the Moslems in the country have
raised the green flag, which means holy war.
and that fact is told i'll whispers through all the
realms in which Mohammedans dwell. At pres
ent Italy is barely holding her own in Tripoli
Indeed for her fleet the position of her land
forces there would be made untenable at once
That cannot last long but when Italy crowds
another army on that shore and an attempt to
explore the interior is made what will happen?
Egypt on the east is filled with MoSlems so
is Algeria on the west and as we said in Turkey
are nearly million Of trained soldiers, who
would welcome war with the infdels who are
aSsailmg the territory of their people
England must be much exercised these DAYS
Her tenure in Egypt is not the most secure; while
m India there are 40,000000 of the same faith as
they of Turkey Egypt and Tripoli
In such situation no man can foresee what
the ending Of it will be- but it has bad look
for the peace of the world. Should Italy send
fleet to the Dardanelles, as is now rumored that
she intends to. mighty general European war
might follow for Great Britain could not permit
that, and there is no telling what Germany might
do IN that ease and the dream of Russia for
two hundred years has been to secure an rncheck
cd passage for her ships to and from the Black
Sea. Great Britain should be about as anxious
over the situation now Italy herself--Good.
