In other Europzan countries the peasantry are stillelmore evidently vege- tartan for all practical purposes. Even in Russia, according to Prihce Krapotkin, the peasant gets only corn, and not enough of that sometimes. Yet the Russian peasant is not wanting in vigor. The evidence is the. same {f wo glance: at non-European The hardy Arab or Soudanese is satisfied with his dates, the Zulu with “mealies,” the Hindu with grains and pulse. ‘The Jap- anese have a similar diet, varled occasion- ally with fish. Stanley says of the Wagan- da: “With the banana plant he is happy, fat and thriving. Without it, he is a fam ished, disconsclate, woehegone wretch.” The Jats of Rajpootana are described as “a very intelligent, fine race, while both men and women attain great age. As a rule, the lower classes do not eat meat.” These instances, which might be multiplied, are quoted to show that vegetarianism Is the ordinary practice of numerous races which are not among the lowest, and which show no sign of race deterioration. In face of these facts, the mere random assertion sometimes made that vegetarians are sub- ject to “pcorness of blood” must be taken for what it is worth.

IN A FLOURISHING CONDITION Sketches of the Officers of the Organization. ‘|COMPARED WITH BASE BALL A few days ago the Washington cricket- ers commenced their second playing sea- son, and probably in the entire city there could not be fourd a more earnest and enthusiastic set. Organizing the Washing- ton Cricket Club as recently as last July, they have succeeded in placing the club in a flourishing condition, so that today they have a membership of between fifty and sixty. As is usually the case, the real work of the club has been done by a mere handful of its members, and, fortunately, in this case they proved the right sort to cope with the difficulties. One of the greatest obstacles to overccme was the ground question. Buying or renting a ground at the outset was impossible, but through the courtesy of the owner of the ground sit- uated at the corner of 18th street and Co- lumbia road, they played there last year, Rev. Dr. J. McBride Sterrett. and having obtained similar privileges this year, a ground committee was appointed to place the ground In as good condition as possible. As a result of their labors, there is a much-improved “pitch,” a plece 170 long by 75 feet wide having been re- But while much improvement has been those who have played on or seen that much there effected first-class cri remains to be in ket fields realize done. Unfortunately, Washington no headquart games of a similar nature. If some action were taken by players of cricket, polo, lawn tennis, croquet, hand ball milar es it ought to be easy to chase, or lease for a term of years, grounds which ‘ould accommod. all.” If this could be done the cost to each club would be reduced to the minimum, and the proper care of the turf would be assured. In New York the cricketers have the privilege of the pyblic parks. In Chicago the parks are also open to base ball play- ers and cricketers, but, strange to say, our Washington parks, with the single ex- ception of the monument grounds, have been practically closed, £0 far as play is concerne: The Washington cricketers were fortu- nate in uring a ground so pleasantly situated and so convenient, the Che Chase cars pass the ground. ‘The Office The officers for this year are: President, Rey. Dr. J. MacBride Sterrett; vice pre: dent, Gen. Cecil Clay; captain, Sydney C. Mather; corresponding secretary, A. Cherrington; recording —secretar: Pigott; treasurer. Robin; tive committee, McDonald, J. Hy 3 Match and ground committee, W. R. Simpson, G. H. Morley, A. R. Smith. The Rev. Dr. J.

He, Jparned the game during college days, and later aided materially in organ- izing a cricket'club whilst in charge of a parish at ,Bedford, Pa. He is a tennis player, is a'good shot, fond of the rod, being especially devoted to trout fishing, and is a member of the board of directors of the Green Brier Hunting and Fishing Club, which has a preserve of 60,000 acres. He is president of the Soclety for Philosophical A. W. Cherrington. Inquiry, and secretary of the Washington Harvard Club. He 1s a sportsman ‘of the best type, and a man of tremendous energy, and {t is largely owing to his efforts that the cricket club has grown so rapidly this year. A. W. Cherrington, the corresponding sec- retary, is the originator of the club, and has been prominently identified with the club from the start. He says “cricket is the king of games.” Probably there is no great- er enthusiast fr the club, and he never tires of thinking and working for his favorite game. Learning his first cricket on the ground of a public school in England, he afterward played for the De Montforts of Leicester, later assisted in organizing the J.P. Pigott. Albiens of Chicago, then becoming a mem- ber of the Mystics of Boston, Mass. Mr. Cherrington will gladly afford information regarding the club to those interested.

When re- cently a statement appeared in one of the Washington newspapers to the t that base ball was shouldering cricket off greea in England,” a cricketer of this y Was asked his opinion. He replied signiti- cantly: “A ile.

A mass meeting was held here in Feb- Tuary, at which Mr. Justice Harlan pre- sided. Much enthuslasm was shown and a committee appointed to secure funds for Miss Barton, who was present. She had announced to this country her readiness to go to Constantinople, if she could be as- sured of an amount for relief which wouid warrant the undertaking. And now she ts left stranded and her mision likely to be a failure. Has the committee then appointed made any report, and ought we not to spond to Miss Barton's ald? Miss Kri- korian, the Armenian lady who made a thrilling appeal at the mass meeting, and several other eloquent addresses in V ington, has the terrible sorrow, since the to learn of the abduction of a young s ter for a Turk’s harem, and that her aged father, who has been a Christian pastor for fifty years, is now in a Turkish prison, which is worse than death. The continued horrors in Armenia suggest the question: Has the United States done all ft can in diplomatic efforts to relieve the stress upon the missionaries and teachers In that coun- try, not merely to protect their lives, but their work, which has been legalized by sanction of Turkish law, and consequently cannot be disturbed if our government ap: peals to such law. It ts well understoo that charges against the missionaries o: encouraging sedition are unfounded, and are taade as a pretext for want of a real reason to deprive the Armenians of their schools and the protection of the Anicri- cans in this awful time. But in view of these charges, would {t not be a legitimate proceeding fer our government to send a commission to Aintab and to Bitlis to in- vestigate these charges against Americans who have lived there so long and rendered such service to the eastern world in let- ters, language and education? It ts beliey- ed generally that no war would result from a proper and firm intervention f Situation, for our American interests in Turkey, which have been the grdéwth of sevent ars of residence and labor there.
