The origin Of the Turkish crescent -
lost In antiquity. As the emblem OF
progresa and increase It figures In the
warnhip Of AstArte, the chief goddess
OF the Phoenician Pantheon, who, un-
der various names, was adored by every
Semitic race 1t is not, therefore, sur
prising that the crescent should be the
chosen emblem of a conquering and
spreading people. The hordes of Cen
ghiz Kahn carried it on their banners
from the great wall of China to the
Indus and the Velga in the thirteenth
century. yet these were Aongols and
enemies of the very people with whom
the crescent is. generally associated
The Ottoman Turks, who first got lands
in Asia as reward for assisting the
SeljulOs against the Mongols, seem from
their first arrival in these regions to
have displayedahe well-known symbol.
1t Appeared on the banners OF the Janis
saries of the Sultan Orlhan, in the
fourteenth century, and subsequently
the Crusaders fixed it In the eyes Of
Christiandcm as the counter emblem OF
the cross. 1t is sometimes held that the
| Turks borrowed the crescent from the
Byzantine Creeks, but this IS evidently
not the case. On the contrary, the
Greeks had probably at an early period
adopted it with other religious symbols
and ideas from the eGst.-Detroit Fre<
