Persia Must Suffer

By Editor

Poor Persia. She is a long way from the land which produced Cyrus the Great. It was England's opportunity to say to Russia, "Thus far, and no farther." We believe the Russian bear would have stayed his depredations. But England seems to have been jealous with Russia because an American was chosen to administer Persian finances. And then, too, Great Britain seems to be desirous of holding Russian influences against German aggression southeastward, so that diplomatically her hands have been tied, and Persia must suffer. We hope that popular agitation in England will force the government to decisive action in favor of Persian freedom.
