1t begins to look as though the
European war would end without
the great powers being drawn into
it. Hostilities have ceased between
the Balkan allies and the Turks, and
representatives of the various states
are in session striving to find a
mutually satisfactory basis for
peace. 1t is to be hoped that. if the
Turks are allowed to retain even a
small part Of European territory.
they will be placed under such bonds
to keep the peace as will do away
with the cruelties practiced by them
on the Christian subjects Of the
Porte. Christian governments are
not always humane; but there is this
difference between the doctrines Of
the followers of Christ and of
Mohammed: The doctrines of the
former are those of peace and love,
while Mohammedanism justifies
murder or any other method Of over
