IsLAMIsM Is A FACTOR IN WAR.

ISLAMlSM Ii A FACIUR In WAX
Religious prejudice evidently still
dominates affairs in the countries
surrounding the Mediterranean Sea
Formerly the people Of Mohammedar
faith held all of the territory on the
south and east shores Of this sea and
also held Spain. Little by little the
Nohammedans have lost theiI
ground until Tripoh is the only re.
naming. province subject to the rule
Of an empire of this faith.
In all of the wars in which the
Mohammedans have been dis.
possessed. Italy has been very promi-
nent. The Italians have been layins
plans for years to seize the first op-
portunity to finish the downfall OF
the Turkish empire, which is the
strongest Mohammedan country re-
naming.
Tripoli is the victim of the plot.
Then the Italians seem to have
sized the psychological moment for
the attack. Turkey has been very
much weakened by the strife within
her borders between the young
Turks and Abdul Hands followers
for political supremacy This,
coupled to the big demand for
worldwide peace, makes the Italians
work appear very opportune. With
this bold move Of the Italians.
Turkey seems to have but one move
left her. That Is to allow Italy to
assume control of Tripoli. and pay
the Turks a proper indemnity which
shall be determined 20 equitable by
The Powers.
The people Of Tripoli care little
who rules the country. 40 they are
the riff-rsn Of Europe nations. and
they would not be very much affect
ed by the change. The Italians have
virtually given out that they do not
intend to carry the war any further
than the occupation Of Tripoli. 20
Europe has little fear that the Turks
will employ the law Of compenssr
ton and make trouble along the
Balkans.

THE HOME DAUGHTER.

Sometimes the home augl1ter is a
wonderful seamstress. she can trim
her hats and make he gowns and
dress herself at the top of the fashion
at comparatively slight expense. Some
times she is the opposite and has TO
be cautioned against, extravaganza and
regards the needle with aversion.
Sometimes she is a wonderful cook,
who does magical things with saucepan
and spoon and sets on the table bread
as light as a feather, and pies war
ranted to cure dyspepsia. Again, she
may be the reverse, with no special
genius for housewifery and no turn
for the eggbeater or ever for paper-bag
cookery. This latest delightful fad
may not appeal to her.
Ny point is that the charm of the
home daughter is not SO much in what
she does as in what she is. Her per-
~sonality is the essential element in her
hold upon the love ant loyalty of those
to whom she is indispensable. What
ever she does is done to the best of
her ability, but back Of all her deeds
is the fineness Of her spirit, the
strength of her conscience and her
true womanly heart. The home daugh-
ter has health, good temper and leis-
ure; she Is not forever rushing about,
going here and there without a mo-
ment to sit still; she Is not mannish;
she has time to comfort sorrowful peo-
pie and refresh tired people; she is the
incarnation of home and love. I love
all girls. but the home girl most of all.
