England Startled by Warning
Voice in Speech Made by
Lord Cromer.
GERMANY AWAITS CHANCE
1V1 11 Seize) First Opportunity to
Break Isolation Which Has
Been Forced Vpon Her
by World's Powers.
LONDON, August L (Special.) Xot for
a, long time nas rngiana kto
by so grave a warning from an eminent
statesman as happened last week, when
Lord Cromer gave his ultimate reason for
opposing the policy pf the present Gov
ernment. Ha frankly affirmed his belief
that, while the Government was light
heartedly embarking on an old age pen
sion scheme of enormous expense, the
country was rapidly approaching the
deadly crisis of a European war. His
words have been read througnout Europe
with apprehension and alarm. Consols
fell sharply when they became public and
now they are being discussed with the
seriousness their importance demands. It
Is this excerpt from his speech that Is at
tracting universal attention.
"What, In the present condition of
Europe, Is the main duty which de
volves upon the Government of this
country? For my own part I have no
sort of hesitation in replying to this
question. Their main duty is to make
provision betimes for a European con
flict which may not improbably be forced
. on us before many years have elapsed.
I am aware that the mass of the people
of this country, who do not follow foreign
afTalrs with any very close attention, are
not alive to the possibility of any such
conflict taking place. 1 say It Is the duty
of a Government, gifted with both pa
triotism and foresight, who have means
of Information at their disposal which is
not available to the general public, to
provide betimes for that danger, a danger
of which I, in common, I believe, with
most people who can speak with real
authority on foreign affairs, am firmly
convinced. My lords. I am now tread
ing on delicate ground. It Is neither
necessary nor desirable that I should
state at length my reason for holding
this opinion. I will only say that in order
to Justify It It is quite unnecessary to
Impugn the good faith of those high
authorities abroad who constantly reiter
ate their peaceful intentions. Neither Is
It necessary to hold that any Intentions,
deliberately hostile to this country, exist.
We. are, however, living in times when
the Influence of Individuals, however
highly placed, is limited. When Na
tional Interests are Involved and race
passion is excited, there Is always more
than a risk that a collision between rival
nations will take place, however pacific
the Intentions of their rulers. Let me
add that If. as I believe will be the case,
the enactment of this law Imperils the
cause of free trade the chances of a
collision will be materially Increased."
Apprehension of Germany.
It is. of course, perfectly understood
that the peril Lord Cromer foresees lies
in the direction of Germany. His spe
cial Information can, of course, bo only
conjectured, but It Is a fact that all who
possess it shares his apprenension. some
of these officials criticise rather severely
King Edward's latest move In the forma
tion of a great European peace bund.
They argue that their combination is now
too large for stability. Moreover, the
recent Anglo-Russian entente has exas
perated Germany to a dangerous extent.
Her Isolation is now so complete that
she seems powerless to break through
the walls surrounding her. But such a
situation, it is argued by some diplomat
ists. Is full of. peril. Peace by compul
sion Is a delusion, especially if Imposed
' upon a great and proud ration presided
over by an ambitious and aggressive sov-
' erelgn. Germany will strain every nerve
In preparation, and then seize the first
opportunity to show her resentment.
Crisis in Near East.
Eueh Is the belief of more than one
man of Cromer's type. Germany's op
portunity may come any day. For this
reason the serious crisis in the Near East
Is regarded with some uneasiness
throughout Europe. The revolt of the
Toung Turks has reached the proportions
of a revolution and Abdul, clever as he
Is. has been compelled to yield for the
present. It Is by no means certain that
his grant of a constitution will check
the rebellion. No previous discontent in
Turkey has Involved the widespread sedi
tion In the army which undoubtedly
. exists. The recent experience of Persia
makes the Toung Turkish party deter
mined not to accept the sham reforms
which the Sultan's political concessions
so much resemble. The agitation will
continue unless crushed by superior force
until the Sultan yields to the very definite
demands which will be made upon him
so soon as he consents to negotiate with
his rebellious subjects.
Turkish patriotism Is religious, rather
than political or dynastic The Mussul
man's loyalty Is to the Koran, not to the
sovereign. The present fear Is that the
Sultan will seek the military aid of Ger
many, and there are many rumors to this
effect. Such action would create a grave
situation among the powers, as well as
locally. Changes which have been made
In the Sultan's entourage are widely In
terpreted, especially In London, as sig
nifying a break In the German influence
and the re-establishment of England, be
cause the deposed Grand -Vizier was of
German proclivities and his successor Is
of English sympathies.
Crafty Sultan.
It would be very unwise to base much
upon this assumption. The Sultan Is
face to face with the greatest domestic
crisis of his long reign, and It will tax
his wonderful resources In statecraft to
survive It. It may be assumed that he
won't give muh consideration to outside
problems until he has solved the do
mestic one.
What makes the revolutionary move
ment most ominous for Abdul Hamid Is
the orderliness and restraint with which
the plans of the Toung Turks are being
carried out. There is every Indication
of a careful systematic working out of a
well-developed plan, and this augurs 111
for the present regime. One consequence
of this sudden crisis will be the post
ponement of the powers' attempt to
Impose the Macedonian reforms. It Is an
Interesting feature of the situation that
In the region of Macedonia controlled by
the revolutionists the evils which Chris
tendom has so long deplored have, for
the time being at any rate, almost ceased
to exist.
Hot Bath for Elm Trees.
Boston Herald.
The elm-leaf beetle this season Is
proving unusually destructive over a
larger area of New England than Is
pleasant to contemplate. One of the
oldest and most experienced foresters
of the state, resident In Northampton.
a city noted -for lta elms, urges action
now which will forestall trouble next
year. The slugs and pupae of half
formed beetles, now seeking the
ground, can be killed by simply spray
ing the trunks, with boiling water.
There Is no simpler, less expensive or
more effectual way. Give your elm
trees a hot bath, and persuade or force
your neighbors to do likewise with
their trees!
BELLS AND RELIGION.
Modern Churches Largely Lack
Richly-Toned Chimes.
Philadelphia Record.
Bells and the Christian religion have
been Intimately associated for some 1600
years, but never to the extent In this
country that has been the case In Eng
land. In the first place the. wonderful
chimes that mark the great English
churches were placed centuries ago,
when America was a weakling and since
which time religion has moved in other
directions than mere noisy Bhow. Then,
again, there Is a matter of temperament
that counts largely, for the English still
hold to the old custqms, while Ameri
cans In their church work are more pro
gressive and count bell-rlnglng as one
of the least of the necessities.
Few of the church architects today
plan a belfry large enough for the
chimes which mark the oldest of tha
English churches. Many buildings now,
In fact, are not even provided with tow
ers except such as may be for mere orna
ment and would not accommodate a bell
that could be heard a block distant. A
few have great brazen-throated remind
ers of religious duty to be done, but this
adjunct seems largely to have been left
out of consideration now.
There never has been any legal dis
tinction as to the right of churches to
use bells. It la given to all Christian
houses of worship to have them If they
choose, but England has gone farther In
this respect than any other country. It
Is this reverence for the old bells that
has Just led to the rehanglng of the fa
mous chime of St. Giles at Crlpplegate,
London, a set almost as famous as those
at St. Giles In Edinburgh. Crlpplegate's
bells go back to a date earlier than 1787.
for the biggest of the chimes bears an
Inscription stating that It was success
fully recast in that year. The 12 weigh
seven tons, which led to a dangerous
condition in the tower of the structure
and caused a restoration that went so
far as to remove all the oaken beams
and substitute for them heavy steel gir
ders from which the bells now are sus
pended. A Tone for Each Day.
Two of the other belte have been re
cast and retuned recently, together with
the carillon which produces the trl-hour-ly
tune and which dates back to the
eighteenth century. This term "caril
lon." from the French, really applies to
the tunes themseleves. but the English
have limited it to the sets of bells rsjther
than the tunes. The carillon of St.
Giles Is neatly Introduced In a sonnet
that runs as follows:
The Chimes of Crlpplegate! full well we
know
Their famous music, dally marking
time.
At three, six. nine and twelve; and sol
emn, slow,
In seven days' rotation changing chime.
Each Sunday hear the Easter Hymn di
vine, Each Monday, lo! the Nation's Anthem
sounds;
Each Tuesday greets us all with "Auld
Lang Syne";
While Wednesday with "Hanover" re
sounds: Each Thursday "Caller Herrin' "frae"
the foam;
Each Friday "Mariners." The tunes
complete
When Saturday enchants with "Home.
Sweet Home."
No music sweeter, be It e'er so sweet.
Our chimes thus charm the world; for
these are sung
O'er .all the earth, by every Bnglish
tongue.
It Is the first occasion at St. Giles
that a bell-founder has been called In
since the first merry peal rang out from
the church. The number of bells Is the
exceptional one of 12, and they are
placed In a steeple which was raised
very considerably some time after the
church Itself was built. The rehanglng
of the bells completes the restoration of
the church.
It is hoped to make a start early next
year with the work of building the west
ern towers and spires of Truro Cathe
dral In England and provide accommo
dations for a peal of bells In the south
west tower.
Legend of Silver Bells.
There are two legends In Worcester
shire, England, regarding some sliver
bells which have been handed down
most persistently from one generation to
another since . the sixteenth century.
One version of the story le that the hells
were buried by the last Abbot of Eves
ham. Abbot Lichfield, In a subterranean
passage which formerly existed between
the abbey and a house on the opposite
bank of the river, while the other story
has it that a peal of silver bells was
burled at the same period at Abbots
Morton, a village ten miles distant from
Evesham.
The church bells of Bucklnghamshlr
are noted, among those of old England,
for their age and the clear music of
their tones. Their sound Is borne over
to a smaller village, four miles distant,
along the waters of the Ouse, their soft
ened tones awakening memories of peace
ful days and restful nights. The bell
ringers of this district are notable,
sturdy characters, and. as yet. little
moved by the hurry and the restless spir
it of the age. On Christmas eve. and
again on the last night of the year, they
sup wth the parson and his wife In the
old Elizabethan rectory. All of them
are laborers, working on the same farms
where their fathers and grandfathers
worked before them. Nature's gentlemen
these, of simple and natural manners,
they enjoy the fare provided roast beef,
plum-puddlng. and a modest amount of
good home-brewed ale. The church war
dens and others drop In and add to the
enjoyment. And so the time goes mer
rily till 110. when, forming a proces
sion, they march to their old Norman
church, the rector taking the lead up
the narrow belfry stairs. Each man
takes his rope. Then the rector prays
for them and their families and their
parish. Ancient prayers these, that have
been put up for some hundreds of years,
even since King Henry the First sat on
the throne. After a few minutes' prayer
the bells ring out: the ringers pull first,
with ' their practiced hands; the gentle
men later are allowed to take a rope.
Praise for Bellrlngers.
Preaching at the re-dedication of the
bells of East Alllngton Church, the Eng
lish bishop of Exeter spoke of the value
of bellrlnging, which, he said, demanded
self-control, patience, power to work In
harmony with each other and In accord
ance with the rules of art. Bellringlng
In that diocese is so carried on as to
be a real education, and plays Its part
In the spiritual life of the parish and
of the church.
The Master Ringer of Lincoln Cathe
dral In England has attained his Jubi
lee as a ringer. Tet he Is now only 67
years old. During the half-century he
has climbed the belfry steps in St.
Hugh's tower so often that the total Is
equal to 975.000 stairs. Ringing during
the Episcopate of three bishops, Mr.
Stiles has rung on 150 occasions for the
reigning monarch. He has rung at the
Installation of seven deans, five pre
centors, five chancellors, four eub-deans'
and two archdeacons.

Pianos
are always of one grade the highest.
Every" piano is fully guaranteed. The
A. B. Chase Co. has had as its motto
"Perfection," and through all the
years of their history they have striv
en to produce a piano unexcelled by
any. The tone is rich, full, sympa
thetic, powerful and the action is re
sponsive, and thus the piano will
plgase and delight the- most critical.
Player Pianos
The A. B. Chase Artistano is the most
unique and delightful of all players.
Some one has described it as "the
step in advance of all others." Its
superiority consists in the mechanism
being so constructed and adjusted as
to enable the operator to play so per
fectly that the listener does not sus
pect it is being played by means of
the music roll. The old style and high
ly advertised players are mechanical
and grind the music out in a discord
ant manner. Before you purchase a
player investigate the A. B. Chase. Its
superiority will at once be apparent.
Your old piano will be taken as a
payment toward. the purchase of the
player.
We rent pianos; we tune pianos.

At iHlip Church, Northamptonshire,
In England. Miss Alice Horn and five
members of the Central County Asso
ciation have Just accomplished a peal
of minor 5040 changes, which occupied
nearly three hours.
There Is nothing like this In America.
There are chime-players who have at
tained some fame, but long service In
the belfry Is not one of the' claims to
recognition even In New England towns
where the bell Is still tolled for the
dead as well as for the Sunday morning
and evening services.
