Just at present it looks as if the continuance of the war rests largely with one man?J. Pierpont Morgan. Turkey wants to borrow $50,000,* 000. Turkey has been negotiating with the Morgan interests for the last two months. The ostensible object of the loan was to bring about peace be tween Italy and Turkey and to re habilitate the latter country and open up its rich possibilities for commer cial development. Neither Mr. Mor gan nor any other of the world'a money kings, however, is likely to care about lending these millions to Turkey so she may prosecute even a defensive war against her hostile neighbors. Therefore, if the Turkish ; loan Is made, there Is little doubt it ; will be conditional on peace being re 1 stored. This outbreak in the Balkans has been brewing for a great m&ny years. 1 In fact, there has been no time in the last few centuries when the situation 1 in the Balkans could have been de 1 scribed as peaceful. The little states I that hitherto merely have been pawns I in the diplomatic game of the great powers at last have taken the bit in I their teeth and may upset the equilib rium of Europe before they are check ; ed. Nothing but the absolute back | down of Turkey will bring peace quickly. This may be expected if Mr. Morgan and the other great money kings, who are the real rulers of na ! tlons, refuse to make loans unless peace 1b declared. War Situation Now. Meanwhile the Balkan states and Greece are at war with Turkey. They | all have been fairly aching for such a chance as this, and every one of these small countries is more than eager to elze what advantage it can out of the present chaos of the Turkish empire. The political divisions of the peninsu la known as the Balkan states are four In number. North of the Danube : lies Roumania, whose Independence j from Turkey was confirmed by the ! Berlin congress in 1878. Immediately j south, on the other bank of the Dan ube, Is Bulgaria, the key to the Bal j kans, and the most formidable of the | states. West of Bulgaria is Servia, | union occupies an lmponam. ttircuegiv position on the Danube and commands j the main line of railway from western i Europe to Constantinople. Servia ! was created an independent kingdom 1 by the treaty of Berlin. Southwest of Servia is the princi pality of Montenegro. To the west, at ; about the head of the Adriatic and be tween the River Drave and the coast, | are the territories kknown as Bosnia and Herzegovina. These first were 1 placed by agreement under the gov ernmental supervision of Austria and | later were annexed by that empire, i They are destined to play an lmport j ant part in any conflict, because j Austria will not permit herself to be | deprived of them without a struggle, j The population of these two Austrian ; states is about equally divided be j tween Moslems and Christians. Religion Divides Peoples. All these Btates were once a part of the great Ottoman empire that at one j time reached almost to the gates of I Vienna. The root of the trouble which has culminated in the present out ; break is that the boundary lines that were drawn lo form these states were made by diplomacy and the expedi ency of statecraft, and in no case in cluded all the peoples that belonged to the different nationalities that made up their population. Many hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians, Servians and so on are still under Turkish : rule. ! The Balkan states deBire to collect ' all those of their own nationality and I faith within their own borders and to leave none subject to the sultan. ThiB can be done only by extending their j own boundaries far into the Turkish ; empire. The present war is a racial and religious one, with, of course, the idea also of getting considerable ma terial benefit through conquest. On the south there are other harried people?the Greek races?who have been struggling for years to escape i from the Moslem rule. Greece also has i an aspiration to annex Crete and many of the islands of the Aegean which j SOUNDED LIKE MARK. They tell a story out my way about a Kansan who in the days when Mark Hanna was prominent went to church, j took his seat in a rear pew and went j to sleep. He awoke with a start, and ho must have thought himself at a political meeting. The minister had Just thundered: "To him that hath shall be given, and to him that hath not Bhall be taken away even that which he hath." "Who said that?" asked the bewil Ioost t D0G5 tmm w W * ? t\V4 once belonged to her, but which lately have fallen to the Italians. Bulgaria Ranks High. The most important of the Balkan states is Bulgaria. Prince Ferdinand was crowned as its czar October 5, 1908. Bulgaria Uas conquered by the TurkB in 139C and for nearly 500. years remained a part of the Ottoman em pire. It was constituted semi-indepen dent by the Berlin treaty in 1878. One of the hopes of the Bulgarians is to restore that country to its greatness of centuries ago and to Include with in Its boundaries all of Macedonia. In Macedonia dwell Mahometans and Christians. These always are ready to fly at each other's throats. The Christians are divided into Greeks, Servians and Bulgars. These three nationalities hate each other fully as much as all of them hate the Turk. Servia was conquered by the Turks in 1389, ceded to Austria in 1718 and retaken by Turkey In 1839. In 1903 It was the scene of the cold-blooded as sassination of King Alexander and his queen, whose reign was stained by so much vice and crime that the other rulers of Europe refused to receive them. Montenegro is an independent prin cipality whose Inhabitants are hardy mountaineers. They are descended from Servians who, in the fourteenth century, fled to those mountains and established their Independence there, maintaining It against all the attacks of the Turks. Geographical Situation. The Balkan peninsula, generally speaking, is a difficult country for an army to invade and an easy one for troops to act on the defensive in. It is traversed by two great mountain systems, the Balkans on the northeast and the Dlnaris Alps on the west. The Balkans begin at the great gorge of the Danube?the Iron Gates, as they are called. At this point Hun gary, Roumania and Servia meet. Through the Iron QtfEes of the Dan ube have passed the armies of many great commanders. The nations of Eu rope and Asia have passed back and forth from prehistoric times in their peaceful migrations or those of con quest. As result there is the greatest mixture of peoples and races in that region of anywhere on earth. The Balkan range runs southward through eastern Servia, then curves eastward, passing through the center of Bulgaria to the Black sea. It is from 12 to 30 miles wide. On the south side It is very precipitous, but slopes gently on the north. It forms a vast natural barrier and is crossed by more than 30 passes. The most famous of these is Shipka pass, where during the war between Russia and Turkey in 1877 a desperate battle was fought. The Russians, with 7,500 men, held the pass for three days against 30,000 Turks. A little later, in mid winter, 60,000 Russians advanced upon the Turks and drove them out of the pass. The Russians lost nearly 6,000 men In this battle In the deep snow, and the Turkish troops suffered al most aB heavily. The Turks still quote the old saying of Mahomet II. to the Venetian repub lic, when the flag of Islam was the most feared banner of Europe: "We Ottomans came to Europe against all Christendom, and it will take all Christendom to put us out" Turkish History. The Turks first appeared in Euro pean history in the middle of the four teenth century. They were driven by the Mongols from Central Asia to Ar menia. They extended their domain gradually westward into Asia Minor, and about this time began to be known as Osmanlis, from their first sultan, Osman. This name afterward was corrupted to Ottoman. Osman's son made his capital at Bursa, opopsite Constantinople, and his son gained a foothold in Europe in 1358. Murad I. established the cap ital of his empire at Adrianople 30 years later. He defeated the Servians and the allies at the great battle of Kossovo in 1389, and himself perished on the field. In the following decade the Turks subdued Wallachia, Bul garia, Thessaly and Macedonia, and annihilated the combined hosts of Hungary and Poland. The Ottoman empire reached its ut dered politician, who had just awak ened. The minister stopped, looked at the sleepy interrupter and then said laconically, "Mark." "Well," said the politician, "it sounds like Hanna."?Judge. Various Forms of Hiccough. Allied to the rare forms of nervous hiccough there is also the emotional hiccough, which arises in connection with a moral shock, severe fright and sudden emotion, the hiccough due to ^ moBt limitB and becp.tne a terror to Chrfstendom under Suleiman II., who ruled between 1520 and 1566. He cap tured Belgrade, the key of Hungary; Rhodes fell Into his hands, and in 1526 the central portion of Hungary became a Turkish province. The north ern march of the Turks halted only In sight of the walls of Vienna. In the same period the sultan won pos session of Algeria and the north coast of Africa, tq the east, and made him self master of the Mediterranean. Be fore the close of the sixteenth cen tury many of the Ionian islaiHuls be came Turkish possessipns, and it was not until 1571 that Europe learned in the battle of Lepanto that the Turk was not invincible. Seems End of Turkish Rule. Tne decline or Turaey Degan up me seventeenth century, and proceeded more rapidly In the eighteenth. Rus sia and Austria won back province after province, and toward the close of the eighteenth century Turkey seemed on the point of vanishing as a nation. There were civil wars, as well as wars with other European coun tries, but Turkey survived them all. ItB territorial possessions have Con tinued to shrink until they are what they are today. Doubtless whatever the outcome of the present war in the Balkans, Turkey's boundary will be reduced still further. Indeed, the Turk never was nearer being driven out of Europe than be is today. STRENGTH OF MOTHER LOVE Stork or Lark Willingly Give Llvsa to Save the Young Birds Prom Danger. So strong Is the mother love de veloped In the stork and the lark that It amounts to a heroic passion. The stork, which spends the win ter in Egypt and the summer in northern and western Europe, likes to build its nest on the top of some steep gable roof. Such a nest is often a real nuisance to man. It i? from three to five yards in diameter. It swarms with lizards, frogs, toads and other disagreeable creatures. It becomes in course of time so heavy that it will break the roof if not arti ficially propped up from below. Nevertheless, for various supersti tious reasons the stork Is not only welcome, but even courted by the European peasants, and It cannot be denied that the respect with which the bird is regarded is to some extent deserved. If the house takes Are1 and the ry rfoflrc V* a f A Kfi nf OTI O CO /vuug, oiuino "Urf1-" ? -e> at which they cannot be saved by being taken away from the nest the stork mother does not abandon them. Standing erect in the nest, flapping her wings to waft away the smoke and the flames, and crying out now and then, she remains with her young, perishing with them. The skylark, which builds Its nest in the meadows, runs away from it when frightened. She proceeds for four or five yards under the clover and rises perpendicularly In the air, pouring forth her song in its wildest strains in order to divert the In truder's attention. But the peasant boy.'knows that so long as she re mains nangicg at me same point in .the air he Is still four or five yardB from the nest, and he uses the direc tion of her movements and the ring of her song to ascertain the exact spot. If it chances that the yonng larks are Just about to break through the shell of the eggs, at which time the mother instinct is at its height, It is said that at the very moment when the nest is touched the little bird will ^actually attack the intruder.?

The canaries for which Norwich is famous seem to have fared better than some of the inhabitants in the recent floods. One old breeder was asked about his stock and said they were safe. They lived In the back bedroom of his house by the river. The water filled the lower rooms breast high, but he was not going to abandon his precious birds to starve. "So," he said simply, "I waded in aft er them and struggled up the stairs with their food, and, bless you, they was singing grand."

GOLDEN Ti;XT-"Woe urfto them that rise up early In the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine Inflame them."? Isaiah 5:1L We turn aside today from studying the life of Christ to consider one of the things that caused the downfall of Ephraim, that Is the northern king dom, and also of Israel, i. e., those who composed the southern kingdom. The chief counterfeit of the Holy Spirit employed by Satan is the in spiration and the intoxication pro duced in the use of liquors, and w? do well to pause and consider the works of him whom Jesus came to destroy. (Heb. 2:14). The lesson naturally dlvraes Itself into two divisions, w. ^-7 and vv. 8-16. This entire section really be gins in chapter six ver&e four and contains .the response of Jehovah to the cry of the remnant of Israel and of Ephraim in the last days. In the first half we see the Iniquity / of Ephraim and Israel "discovered," 1. e., revealed, and in the second section there Is discovered or revealed to us God's wrath against them for their hypocrisy. I. God declares that it was his de : sire to heal them both, (v I). It la not God's w!:ll that-any should perish, he has no pleasure In the death of the wicked, (Ezek. 33:11, 18:32). But while Jehovah would (have healed them they would not he healed, (cf. Matt. 23:37 and Luke 13:34), and hence It is that hiB Iovb serves to re veal their wickedness. Dr. Torrey against the cpmmon people "Ephraim" and the court and city "Samaria," for this evil attacks both alike, Never Hidden From God. (1) "Falsehood" (v. 1). Nothing is more common among the evils of in temperance than falsehood; as we have suggested it Is the Devil's false Imitation of true Inspiration. (2) "A thief comes in." Intemperance steals not only a man's money but his repu tation, love for his family, In fact any points out eight charges and everything a sober man will noia dear. (3) "They consider not in their hearts." Like Rip Van Winkle, men say "this last doesn't count," forget ting that it does count and that God remember all of their wickedness. A violatlpn of his law will receive pun ishment in due season. America is paying the price of a manifold in crease in taxation, in murdeh, in im becility, in divorce and suicide, the overwh lmlng portion of which can be traced to Intemperance. God is re membering all our wickedness and verily a troop of robbers are strip ping us (v. 1). We ofttimes hide our evil deeds from man but never from God, and a man's sins will find him out (Psalm 9:16). These people made the king glad (v. 3,) i. e., the king delighted in this wickedness. Let us not forget that righteousness exalteth a nation and sin is a reproach to any people. (4) "They are all adulterers," (v. 4). Of course in this connection we know there was a remnant of true follow ers, but the prevailing vileness wai such as to call forth this terrific in dictment. We need to remember that the connection between the liquor traffic and white slavery is so close as to defy separation. Why do politicians and police officials connive at the so cial evil that is far worse in its rav ages each year than any epidemic of the past centuries? Simply because of the* profits that accrue. Like as an oven heated by the baker, so is the fire of lust' and of appetite and of avarice. In many quarters we seem to be hastening on toward a similar condition of society. Is the world then getting no better? Certainly. The good is better but the evil is more refined and subtle, hence worse, i The millennium will not come through i the development of present day pow ers. It will come only when he 6hall come to set up his throne whose right it is to reign. (5) "The princes have made themselves sick with the heat of wine," (v. 5 R. V.) The physical ravages of intemperance are so well j known as to call for no comment. But the moral sickness seems to be hid i den from, or else ignored by myriads. Judges give their testimony as^o (he percentage of crime attributable to liquor. "The Great Destroyer." A liquor drinker is almost invarla I bly a scorner. He scorns the power of liquor over himself, its effect upon j the nation. "Sum up the economic loss of efficiency the cost of crime, ! pauperism, and insanity, and we have an economic burden of more than half of the wealth produced by this na tion." (See Congressman H. R. Hoi> son'8, "The Great Destroyer"), (t ) "They have made ready their heart like an oven while they lie in wait," (vv. 6, 7, referring undoubtedly to the [ heat of anger and passion as well as' ! of lust. (7) "They have devoured j their judges" (v. 7). One has but to } review the pages of history to appre | elate the overthrow of priest, peasant j and potentate alike. (8) "There is I that nnnn me" (v. 7). I The turning aside from God was noted ; | at the outset, here again we see that j the neglect and forgetfulness of God is the true source of all of man's sin- j nlng. II. God intended Israel, and intends ub. to be separate people. The prophet sets before us the result of this re fusal upon Ephraim. A cake not turn ed is a cake half baked, one half burn ed. This metaphor has many applica tions. Our social life, our political life our spiritual life is too often one thai is half turned, one-half burned to f risp and the other half raw.
