II was a happy moment for the mill
ions Of Christian subjects Of the Otto
man Empire when the very great ma
jority OF the Moslem softas ignored the
declaration of the holy war Here and
there a few fanatical Moslem clergy, on
the payroll Of the Enver government,
took to the field to inCite the eXcitable
Turk. But on the whole this malicious
design of the Prussian Kultur was con-
sidered a burlesque.
The outside world may not be in a
position to understand how the Mos
lem Turk is expected to declare holy
war against Christian England, France
and Russia and fight side by side with
Christian Germany and Austria. The
explanation is that the political agents
OF the German Kultur, with the assist
ance. of the Enver government, have
persistently preached the news" that
the German Emperor was converted ia
the Moslem faith some fifteen years
ago on the occasion of his visit to
Turkey and that political reasons pre-
vented him from confessing his con-
version until his conscience bothered
him during the italian and Balkan per-
secutions Of the Mohammedan religion

Upon his confession of faith the story

lowed by a wave of Moslem conversion

Upon this the rest of Europe attacked
the newly converted Moslem empires
in order to check the spread of Mo-
hammedanism throughout the rest OF
Europe. Consequently, Germany and
Austria are fighting the battles of the

1t is a fact that the law Of life deals
out retribution to nations as well as

said the Prince Of Peace. The fruit OF
the Western civilization is one for which
the Christian races must blush with
ignominy and shame forever,
1t IL true that the Tatar Turk and
the Mongol Japanese are also parties to
this shedding OF blood in Europe and
1t Is also true that these races did be-
come parties to the ignominious blood

civilization. For wanton destruction
OF sacred treasures. for waste OF vast
sums gathered from the unrequited toll
Of millions of poor humanity, for letting
loose the fiercest passions of the jungle
and the satiation of greed and lust for
the sowing Of fiendish enmitles never
to be forgotten, this European horror,
this diverse of the Christian civiliza-
ton, has no precedent in all the saw

Never again, al least not for many

What were these ministers of love

who can deny that the responsibility
for this horrible butchery in Europe
rests not on a few statesmen. but on
the whole OF Christendom. II the So

II has TO the evangelizatlon of the more

have broken out. But for years the
Church has been content TO witness the
infiltration Of war poison in Europe
without doing anything practical to
stay the process. 1t has devoted much
more energy and zeal to supplanting
pagan faiths than to attending to the
much lower paganism, the material civ
ilization OF Christendom.

Holy war against whom? Against
Russia? In Turkey there are 100000
commuuicants Of the Russian religion.
Against England? All British sub
le'ts In Turkey are either Protestants
or Roman Catholics
Agans' France? Throughout the OF
tuman Empire 90 per cent. of the
French subjects are engaged in educa-

And ana whose behalf must the To-

used for the promotion of raids
against gambling houses, and whose
testimony effected his conviction
Rose has up to this time stoutly de-
MED any completely in the case, other
than that to which he has testified
If Becker's story is true Rose is a
criminal of the vilest kind. A word
from him would at this time doubt
less save .Becker's life, but unless
something of this kind occurs there
seems little chance for the former
policeman.
The situation in which Becker
stands is at this time altogether re-
markable. Having exhausted all jul
dicial remedy, he can hope only for
executive clemency But the gov
ernor of the state, who alone can
grant him pardon or reprieve, is the
man who as prosecuting attorney Sc
cured his conviction. 1t was, indeed
in consequence of that conviction, as
Becker now shrewdly points out in
his statement, that District Attorney
Whitman was elevated to the gov
ernorship. Thus the governor is now
faced with the duty of passing upon
an appeal, the granting of which on
the basis of condemned mans prot
estations of innocence would estab-
lish as unjustified political honors
that have come to him. And yet
Gov. Whitman's refusal to act in
Becker's behalf, if he so refuses, may
not be ascribed to a desire to main
tain the record 1t does not follow
from Becker's protestations that he
is innocent.
