ENGLAND'S FEAR OFWAR
Constant Apprehension of a Jerad
Is Entertain by the Crown.
MOSLEMS MAKE TROUBLE EASILY
Followers of Islam Are Liable to
Engage in Holy War Without Giv?
ing the Slightest Warning?Know
No Fear in Battle.
The people of our own land have
little knowledge of [he awful sig?
nificance of the word ?jerad" to
those of the far Eist. Wherever
there is a large Moslem population,
there Is always nervoas apprehen?
sion lest a Jerad. or holy war lie
declared. Within a few months the
feeling of unreal in India and Egypt
have brought the gravest fears to
tlit- diplomats of Europe. So grave
is the crisis, It has recently become
the subject of a communication to
tin British House of Commons. The
government has been warned that the
situation was most, acut?? and must
?foe handled with extreme caution.
II is known thai this anxiety has In?
creased within a very few days, nail
that it has been the subject of much
correspondence between the capitals
of Europe.
The attitude of the Sultan of
Turkey in this matter is not clearly
understood. Some of his acts indi?
cate that lie might be foolish enough
to go so far as to enter a threat,
but King EVI ward gave him to under?
stand, in a recent ? boundary dis?
pute, that England's position was
positive and could not be challen?
ged. Since this declaration, which
created a sensation among the few
whr are familiar with the inside
information, the Sultan1 hai once
more lapsed into his characteristic
sullen silence. Hut the British g->v
eri ment is not decenved. it is alert
and prepared to Iheei almost any
emergency?but it is moving in the
dark.
Come Like a Thunderbolt.
.Ternds are seldom made the sub
ject of out war ! discussion. They
invariably come like a thunderbolt
out of a clear sky. The general
Impression is that the. Sultan of
Turkey is the head of the Moham?
medan Church, and that the disciples
or Moslem are ever under hit control
That is not the truth however. The
.Sultan is int the caliph of the
Church of Mohammed. As a matter
.or fact the Moslems have had rio
talu^jf. sir.ee d240, when the Turks
captured Bagdad and killed t!n> ca?
liph. Ills .successor lias never boon
recognized, although the assumption
of the Stiltait is that be is caliph
li might be added thai within ihe
boundaries of bis own knlgdom
lie is s > regarded.
All of tlio followers of Islam are
guided bv Ihe head of the Beel
of Hainan at Mecca. This official
has already made one decision which
mnj be of very great importance.
Replying io a query as to whether
India and ICgypi were Dar-ul-Tsiam,
"The Land of faith," or Dar-nl-Harad
"The Land of Enmity." lie decided
il. ai these countries were ?|)ar-ul
Isiani," on tin- ground thai the fol?
low orers of ihe prophet are not per?
secuted and are tree t:> follow their
religion. The danger of a holy war,
however arises arises from Moham?
med's Ijunctlon. "Fight the Infidel
wherever ye shall find them," and
it is a question whether this would
not override and overrule any mod?
ern proclamation, no mailer how high
i lie authority.
The Last Holy War.
The hist holy war was thai of the
Muhdi of Egypt, so sternly ami suht
inarlly suppressed by England a
lew years ago. England found her-1
seif confronted In almost an Instattl
with a formidable holy war. with
ail itss attendant atrocities. The
fanatics fought the trained soldier.;
of Great Britain with superb brav?
ery and incredible ferocity, for it.
is part of their religion that those
'win, full in battle must be buried
hi their bloody clothes, while their
son Is aie insured direct (light to
i.e:i\eti. Those who participate in
a jerad are fighting "In Ihe road of
God." The Koran says: "And kill
them wherever ye dud them, and
turn them Olli from where they have
liirned you out, for mischief is worse
than killing: but fight not with;
teem near the -Holy Mosque until
i they light with you there; but If
the} light with you there till them:
such is the punishment of the infi?
dels." The declaration of a jera I
would arouse all Christendom in an
matnilL There could be but pho
outcome, but. before civilization would
conquer there would he the sacrifice
Iff Innumerable lives ami the loss'
of unaccounted treasure.
ii is interesting to notice how
history is repealing itself. The gen?
eration of to-day may seen) a repro?
duction of ihe days when Constan?
tinople fell, which Lew Wallace de?
pleted with graphic clearness in bis
, "Piince of India."
