Rigid Monastic Law
Excludes the Female

The law of ages seems to forbid war s
trespass on these sacred precincts, and
the monastic statutes deny admittance
TO any female creature, be il woman,
hen or COW. The unwritten law gem
orally has been observed, perhaps by
geographical accident or perhaps be-
cause of the adaptable, conciliatory
nature of the kindly folk who claim
the Sacred Mount for their own.
But despite the strict regulations
Of the Most Blessed Assembly of the
Holy Mount and the shock OF horror
which assalls the most humble of the
brethren at sight of the gentler sex,
women have penetrated where war has
feared to tread. Audacious Byzantine
expresses, according to tireside legend,
were the first of these, and in the folk
lore of these remote monasteries is
many a tale of imperiouS and In
quisitive queens barred at the very door
and of others discovered so late that
years of penance were required to atone
for the intrusion.

Radcliffe, testify to a comparatively re-

Turks Raid Parchments
To Make Cartridges

But since that time. save for occa'
sional visits by Turks during the Greek
War Of Independence, when the Otto
mans coolly helped themselves to price
less parchments. which they made into
cartridges, the monks have been undis-
turbcd. When the Turks took Salonica
in 1880 they were quick to offer sub
mission TO the new rule and thereby
gained many privileges. Their present
constitution dates from 1888. but il
embodies sections which had then been
in existence for centuries. The ban
on femininity dates from lC45, and the
republic from 1860.

United States Of World
Or Periodic Blood Bath

The alternative to the United State
of the World is the periodic blood bath
OF the world. SO says the author Of
"Mr. Drifting Sees II Through"
In his article "A Reasonable Mans
Peace printed in "The Daily Mail"
and which was the original bone of
verbal contention. the novelist sets
forth his present attitude on the war
and its probable conclusion and effects.
Part of it follows:
ON many respects this war has
been an amazing display Of human
inadaptability. The military history
of the war has still to be written, the
grim story of machinery misunder-
stood, Improvements resisted, anti
quated methods persisted in; but the
broad facts are already before the
public mind. After three years Of
war the air offensive. the only pos
Sible decisive blow, is still merely
talked of. And at least equally re-
markablc is the dragging inadapta-
bllity Of European statecraft.
Everywhere the failure of minis
tiers and statesmen to rise to the
urgent definite necessities Of the
present time is glaringly conspicu-
Gus. They seem 10 be incapable even
of thinking how the war may be
brought 10 an end. They seem in
capable Of that plain speaking to the
world audience which alone car
bring about peace. They keep on
with the tricks and feints of a de
parted age, with bureau politics.

offences Germany has been the chief
OF sinners, but which among the bel

Allied statesmen fail to understand
the implications of their own general
professions they mean that. But why
do they not say il plainly? Why do
they rot shout il so compactly and
loudly that all Germany will hear and
understand? Why do they Justify
Imperialism in Germany? Why do
they maintain a threatening ambi-
guilty toward Germany on all these
matters?
by doing so they leave Germany
no choice but war OF desperation.
They underline and irdorse the claim
of German imperialism that this is

Although the remote history of the

generally believed that the first relig-

Of the lconoclasts early in the eighth
