The Religious War. The tangle of religions is almost equalâ€" ly remarkable. There are the Mohamâ€" medans and there are the Christians, but there ors Christians of the Orthodox (Greek Church, whom the Roman Cathoâ€" ies call schismatic, and there are Christians of the other Greek Church, whom the Roman Catholics call orthodox and who are allied to Rome through the hierarchy of the Grecian Kingdom. In Albania the great majority of the reogle are Mohammedans, though fierceâ€" ‘IYh ostile to the Turkish Government. ere are, however, about 200,000 Chris. tians equally divided between the two sects who hate each other, the Mohamâ€" medans, Albanians and the Turks, with an impartial hatred.

All the multiform hatreds which keep the Ealkan peoples seething in disorder and bloodshed are centwries old in their Symeon, assumed the title of Czar of all tc‘Bulprias-the title just revived by Prince Ferdinandâ€"and ruled over a terâ€" ritory extending from the Black Sea to the Adriatic and almost from the Carâ€" pathians south to Adll'hlople. & It may fairly be said that the hatred between the two sects of Christians is ofter more bitter than that between Christian and Turk. It is a leading if not the leading factor in the Macedonian troubles of toâ€"day, and the unspeakable atrocities which make Macedonia the most distressful country in the world are just as frequently perpetrated by GmL Catholics upon Bulgarian orthoâ€" dox churechmen or by B\;l'!ui.u upon Greek Catholics as by the Mohammedans tpore cithet. ;. ;. . _ > a k The Greek Church is the church of the majority of the people and it is the State ehureh in Bulgaria, Servia and Rou. mania. In Bosnia those of the Greek orthodox communion are about 43 per cent. of the population, the Mohammeâ€" dans about 35 and the Roman Catholics 21, ‘There were the Bulgarians, for inâ€" atance, who already in the sixth century were at war with the e:zeron of Conâ€" ountlnotl:, who, converted to Christianâ€" ity in the ninth century, reached such power in the tenth that their ruler, As for Macedonia, to describe the cqnâ€" fusion of races is almost impossible. The characteristic fact is the tendency of all the races to flock by themselycs. There is mixture in the towns and Shero are a few villages in which Turks, Bulgars and Greeks live together, but for tio most part each of these three peoples has its own settlements. The Albanians, or Arnautsâ€"they call themselves Shkipetars, by the wayâ€"have kept their territory pretty free of atraigers. Tley are porhape the wildest people in the world, and it is said that wnly Pyrrhus the Great ever conquered them; but besides the 2,000,000 of them inbabiting Albania, the western shore of the Adriatic south of Montenegro, there are 200,000 of them in Greece and lOf’.l 000 in southern Italy. _ Tale of hopg‘ ‘There are toâ€"day 8,000,000 Serbs, but only 2500,000 of them live in Servia. ‘The rest are scattered over Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Novibazar, Croatia, Slavonia, South Hungary, Istria and Dalâ€" matio. In Rumania 92 per cent. of the people are Wallachsâ€"that is, Rumanians â€"â€"but only half of the Rumanian race inhabits that kingdom, the other half being found in Transylvanii, which is Austrian; in Pessarabis, now under Rusâ€" slan rule; in Servia and in Bulgaria, For instance, of the 4,000,000 Bulgars who live in the Balkans only about 2, 700,000 live in Bulgaria itseli, while the rest inbabit Russia, Rumania, Austria, and the Turkish provinces, esâ€" Macedonia. On the other hand, the balance of the 4,000,000 population of Buigaria is made uy of Turks, Ruâ€" Greeks, Gypsies (52,000 of them), Jews (27,500), Tartars The original Bulgars were a Finnoâ€" Tartar peaple, akin to the Magyars.

The confusion began with that inva wion of barbarians which overthrew the KRoman Empire. The wild tribes which swept down over the Carpathians or in from the steppes of Russia found it in the enjoyment of the Greek and Roman eivilizations. Bome of them swept on, some settled down in the region between the Adriatic and the Black Sea. They tangled up the civilization they found with their own barbaric customs. ‘They ereated a racial confusion which is still at the bottom of all the other confusions that make up the Balkan problem. . The Balkan region may be called above all things the land of confusion. It is the land of war, the land of rapine, of eruelty, of treachery, of tyranny, of almcst all tht‘s evil, bu; above all it is the land o¢ confusion. It has been so for 1,500 years. Centuries of Balkan Woe. Long Record of War, Rapine, Oppres sion, Bloodshed. The Albanians are of the old Iyriaa anish Jews (27,500), Tartars s of all the other nationalities ‘The Obrenovitches were deposed in 1942 and the Karagorgovitches seized the title of prince. A few years later a prince of their line was assassinated and the Obremovitches came back, and thus it was that Prince Milan, an _ Obrenoâ€" vitch, found himself on the throne at the era of the Russoâ€"Turkish war. Another region in which the standard of revolt was raised in the beginning of the nineteenth century was the southâ€" ern section of Albania, where the famous o+ infamous Ali Pasha, the lion of Janâ€" iza, established for a few brief years a sort of independent power. Those who are interested in his career can gain a good view of it on easy terms _ from Maurus Jokai‘s novel "The Lion of Janâ€" In 1830 the autonomy of the princiâ€" pality was recognized by the Porte and then began its turbulent career as a European State. _ The descendants of Kara George and of Milosch intrigued and conspired for the throne. y a ewineherd who had acted as spy for Kara George in the early part of _ the struggle. His bands in 1815 made such headway against the Turks that the Sulâ€" tan was forced to make terms with him. Kra George came back into the counâ€" iry, but lfilosch betrayed him to the Turks, who killed him. Rivalry thus reâ€" moved, Milosch had himself proclaimed in 1817 hereditary prince of Servia. to take refuge in Hungary, The Turks, swept over the country in 1814 with nfurder and pillage. They crucified 300 Christians at Belgrade. But now one of the licutenants of Kara George began to loom up with new strength. This as Milosch Obrenovitch, also a peasaat, rule seemed to be brought to a head by the establishment of a Circassion colony in the heart of the country. The pesasantry revolted and the Bashi Bazouks, the Turkish irregular soldiery, maintainec especially for p!zw of atrocity, were sent in to put down the In 1804 Kara George, who was cerâ€" tainly a peasant and perhaps a brigand, finding that he was down on a list of persons to be massacred, took to the mountains and raised the standard of revolt. He defcated the Turkish force and in 1800 he took possession of Belâ€" grade. All these struggles in the early part of the nineteenth century brought freeâ€" dom in one degree or another to the parâ€" ticipating states. Another fieree strugâ€" gle against the Turks began in 1875. In these matters there seems to be a sort of contagion. It is certain that an epidemic of unrest ran through the Balkan peninsula in that year. Bulâ€" garia, which had been so enslaved as to be called the peasant state, after cenâ€" turies of submis=‘on, showed signs of awakening. The brutalities of Turkish Ivo is another of the heroes whom the Serbs expect to come back some day and help drive the ‘Turks out of Europe. ‘The Monteregrins still wear a badge of mourning in their caps for him. _ His spirit has certainly been continually #live in the little reaim that he foundâ€" ed. Under its Prince Bishops, who sucâ€" ceeded each other for more than three centuries from uncle to nephew, Monâ€" tenegro has not only resisted Turkish conquest but has frequently sent armâ€" ies out into Novibazar and Macedonia and inflicted tremendous losses upon the soldiers of the Porte. The Great Awakening. It is a singular cireumstance that the awakening against the Turkish dominâ€" ation which lasted for nearly 350 years after the conquest showed itself in sevâ€" eral regions about the same time. Just at the period when Alexander Ypsilante was putting an end to Turkish misrule in the country which is now Rumania, the Greeks were starting that heroic struggle for independence in which Lord Byron played a picturesque part. The Servians simultaneously began a bitter and determined fight to throw off Turkâ€" ish rule. _ The Russians helped him for a while, then deserted him, and he was obliged The overthrow of Servia was finally completed by the Sultan Mohammed IL, who, having taken Constantinople _ in 1453, devoted his attention to the Balâ€" kan region, From this time until the beginning of the nineteenth century Serâ€" via bad practically no history, but an offehoot from its people kept up . the {ight against the Turks unceasing!‘y and without ever being overcome. _ When the Obrenovitches were in power in Bervia this forgeoun casement was hidden “.Lh he cellar of the monasâ€" tery and King Alexander and Queen Praga presented a wonderful set of golden vestments to be used in the great ceremonies of the monastery church.

Servia also has its heroic period. In 1050 Michael, its Grand Shupan, was recognized as an independent sovereign by Pope Gregory VII.

What the magnet has been to attract this vast army three thousand miles, and hold them, can not fail to be of inâ€" terest, as nowhere in the world has there been so interesting, so rapid and sensational a building up of communiâ€" ies as in California, especially in the south. There have been human migraâ€" tions in various parts of the world, but the average pioneer moves to better his condition financially, and his evolution and that of the town or village he esâ€" tablishes is a slow and painful operaâ€" tion. But in the southwest, in that half of the State called southern California, the results seem to have been produced, to a large extent, for nesthetic reasons, and the region toâ€"day is a vast colony, composed in the main of cultivated, wellâ€"toâ€"do, often ver{ wealthy eastern men and women who have suddenly moved in, taken possession and set the stamp of their virility on the land, which finds expression in such citics as Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Riverside, Mus Pasadena, San Jose and Santa Rosa.â€"From "Along the American Riâ€" viera," in the Outing Magazine for Feb ruary. This movement had taken the shape of tourists‘ excursions, very similar to the throngs who yearly migrate to the south of France and Italy, but with this exception: in Europe they are tourists, pure and simple; they rarely remain, while the men and women, generally rich or wellâ€"toâ€"do, who have braved the terrors of the great "American Desert," have in so many instances succumbed to the climatic, scenic and other charms of southern California that in a quarâ€" ter of a century they have taken posâ€" session of the region, planted it with countless orange groves, built large towns and villages and made of the puchâ€" lo of Los Angeles, an adobe town of a few thousand Mexicans and Americans, a city of nearly 300,000 souls. For over a quarter of a century, or since 1884 or 1885, there has been an extraordinary movement from all over the country to the southwestern portion of the United States, the sleepy region of the old Spanish dons who, for cenâ€" turies, lived and owned principalities on the shores of the Pacific, literally beâ€" tween the desert and the deep sea, the great American desert reaching out to the east, a dominant terror alike to friends and enemies. ny ? 7 s s ’Rn Pupilâ€"You don‘t «pell it, ma‘am, You sneeze it. Under the genial guidance of Queen Elizabeth, the famous "Carmen Sylva" literature and art have gained new headway; but even Rumania has had her troubles and the revolt of the peasâ€" ant farmers last year against the great landed nobility and the money lenders showed that a readjustment of condiâ€" tions is still necessary in this most favored of the Balkan land. Servia‘s Dark Story. The history of Servia since the Treaty of Berlin has been one of material proâ€" gross. ‘The capital, Belgrade, has been fuctically rebuilt and modernized in he last thirty years; the trade of the country has been freatly increased; its industries and agriculture are flourishâ€" ing.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina was also a revolt and also more atrocities. With Alexander died the last of the Karageorgevitch dynasty, and King Petâ€" er, the head of the exiled Obrenovitch house, who had beenliving almost in poverty in Ewitzerland, was called to the throne, where he still sits, not over formly, according to Austrian versions of the situation, but firmly enough, acâ€" eording to the accounts of many indeâ€" pendent English observers.

One fine day when he was about 18 Alexander asserted himself. He seized the reins of power and clapped all the regents in prison, and then followed 14 years of capricious rule, such as mifht be expected of a boy who was half a genius, half an idiot. Anyway, the fact is that on the night of June 10th the regiments quartered in the capital surrounded the royal palace and after a long and fevered search, in the course of which some faithful at tendants were struck down, a band of ofâ€" ficers found Alexander and Draga hiding in their night robes and killed them both. _ The end came in June, 1903. Some say it was an Austrian plot to cause chaos which would have justified the Austroâ€" Hunfinrinn Kaiser in seizing and annexâ€" ing Servia in his dominions. _ Others hold that the endurance of Alexander had reached its limit and that it was to prevent savage despotism and masaâ€" cre that regicide was decided on. toin of material and intellectual proâ€" doings were spread tm Europe by T fmoapomdant : n."
