attack upon the Turks. It was a long song and
took four hours to sing--with refreshments in the middle. I did not
stay to the end. Every one, of course, believed in the guilt of the
British Consul.

At Serajevo I got, too, into a very Nationalist Orthodox set through
the Nationalist school kept by Miss Irby. The pro-Serb party was all
Orthodox, wildly anti-Turk and furiously anti-Catholic. All that was
Latinski was abhorrent, and every vice and crime was imputed to the
Catholic clergy. They were represented as fiends in human shape, who
stole people's children and baptized them into the Roman Church. I
had found similar fanaticism among the Montenegrin peasants, but did
not expect it among the educated Bosnian officials and their wives.

They made no secret of being in communication with Serbia, told of
their expedients to smuggle in papers and dodge the police
authorities. And when the windows were carefully shut used to sing
"Onamo, onamo," and other forbidden Nationalist songs. In one
respect I found the Orthodox exactly like the Moslems. They wanted
to be top-dog and suppress the others. A pretty school mistress
complained to me bitterly of the authorities who had put her to
teach in a purely Catholic district, "where I can do no propaganda
at all." She wanted a Parliament for Bosnia, and assured me that as
the Orthodox party Was the largest they would then be able to shout
the others down, from the gallery, and was naively surprised When I
told her that this was forbidden in England, which she had thought
was a free country. She had been taken once to the Budapest
Parliament for the express purpose of screeching all the time
certain members spoke. The debate ended in a free fight, and she had
been hoarse for days.

This idea of freedom is, of course, not unknown in England. It is
the only one existing across the Adriatic. An ardent Great Serbian
once explained: "When Great Serbia is made we mean to have religious
equality everywhere. For instance, in Ragusa there are two
monasteries, both Catholic. This is unjust. When it is ours, one
will be Orthodox and one Catholic."

"Which do you mean to rob then, the Franciscans or the Dominicans?"
he was asked. "Rob!" he said, much hurt. "We are going to make
religious equality. One must be Orthodox and one Catholic." And this
he continued to repeat, though it was urged that in this case one or
the other order must be deprived of its monastery, and that,
moreover, the
