conjectures looms the sinister shadow Of
"Jehadi Ekber"--the Great Holy War
against the Christians in which every
believer in the Koran must participate
under forfeit Of his souls salvation.
The failure of the call issued by the Sui
tan in 1914 is one of the unsoIved mys-
teries Of contemporary history 1t does
not mean, however, that the possibility
of universal rising against Christen-
dom has passed. Rather. in the view Of
some authorities, the danger is acuter
than ever. owing to the intensified racial
and religious hatred which is the heri-
tage Of the war in Asia as well as in
Europe. The activities of certain Turk
ish leaders such as Enver Pacha, Mus
tafa Kemal Pacha, Reuf Bcy and others
in Asia Minor. the Caucasus and Kurd-
istan---as reported with undisguised
satisfaction in the German press-ac-
centuate the gravity of the situation.

Our Way

The Tribune congratulates the patrol
men and fremen of New York. Not only
have they won their fight for substan-
tial increase in pay but they have set a
fne example. They conducted fair,
open campaign, basing their case upon
common equity and making no use Of
threat or sensationalism of any kind.
"If we are worth it, they said, in effect,
"please give it to US.
While the increase which the Finance
and Budget Committee yesterday ap-
proved for these servants Of the public
is not all they had asked for, it is still
the largest that has been granted to
either police or FIRE men in the history Of
the departments 1t will ease the press

AS Roosevelt Lived

There was an amazing gift in Colonel
Roosevelt for saying and doing large and
extraordinary things in a fashion that
carried simple, poignant moral to the
least of men. No life could have been
less like the ordinary, humdrum existence
than his; yet almost everything that he
displayed from his love of outdoors to
his devotion to his family, set rich and
suggestive example to the average Amer
lean citizen.
SO his words in the current Sc,ibnev's
upon the risks Of assassination. have
hint for every one He was writing to
Sir George Otto Trevelvan, an old and
warm friend, in response to letter of
sympathy brought out by the shooting
of the Colonel at Milwaukee in 1912
The apparent fearlessness of Colonel
Roosevelt toward such risks was a mat
ter of common observation. In this let
ter he made it plain that the fearlessness
was real, not an attitude assumed con-
sclously and based upon realization
that 1t was his duty to act courageouslv.
but a disregard born of far deeper
psychological factor:
II must say have never understood
pubic men who get nervous about as
sass'natlon- For the last eleven years
have, of course, thoroughly understood
that might at any time be shot and
probably would be shot some time
think have come off uncommonly we'll
But what ] cannot understand is any
serious minded public man not being so
absorbed in the great and vital questions
with which he has to deal as TO exclude
thoughts of assassination. do not
think this ls question Of courage at all
think it Is question Of the major in
terest driving out the minor interest
AS say, 1T IS not question of cour-
age; 1T is n question Of perspective, Of
proper proportion."
Therein lies very excellent lesson
for lnconspicuous mortas far beneath
all danger of assassination ABSORPTION
IN llfe, IN what one is doing, is a soy
erelgn remedy for so many ills of mind
and body that 1t can be prescribed for
almost any condition. 1t does not CON
tradct personal ambition or demand
any noteworthy spirit of altruism.
Rather is it merely healthy function

were intended to function. Take no

of the philosophy in mind. The Col
onel's immortal motto, "Spend and be
spent holds its full significance.
Perspective is the mental consequence.
AS the letter quoted makes clear. He

scant chance to become morbid or intro
