M0SLEMS ARE
GAINING GROUND
Said to be Adding More Con
verts than any Other
Religion in the
World

Constantinople. Oct. 19.-That Mo-
hammedianism is gaining converts
more rapidly than any religion, and
that it has greater number OF ad-
herents, in proportion to the time it
has been in existence, than Christian
ity. is indicated by the figures COM
piled by Turkish newspapers in max.
ing a census OF Moslems in all parts
of the world.
According to these figures, now
practically complete, 270,000,000 peo-
pie accept Mohammed as the prophet
of God and the founder OF the true re-
ligion. or these, Turkey proper has
one-tenth, or 27,OOO.OOO, and there are
about the same number in the Sui
tans Asiatic and African possessions.
Twenty-four million subjects of the
Great White Gear profess the Moslem
faith and look to the Sultan of Tur-
key as their spiritual head. India has
60,0OO,000 followers of the Prophet,
China 10000 900, Java % 5,000, 900. Ara
bia 20,000,000, Africa 5O,000,000, and
the Philippines and South Sea islands
about a million.
While these figures. from the neces-
stiles of the case, are only .extimates.
many European observers believe
they are conservative. If so, Moham-
mechanism Is the second religion, nu-
mericaIly, OF the world, as the discip-
les OF Confhcius and ancestor worship
ers arc not believed to exceed 26O,-
100000 in number. Hindooism is esti-
mated to have about 200, 900 900 adher-
ents, Buddhism 15O,000,000 and Poly
theism 100000
The number Of Christians, active
and nominal, in the world is placed
by various authorities at from 4b0.-
100000 to 5OO.O00,0O0. The religion of

OF liberty and intellectual progress
in Turkey has been manifested by the
formation Of considerable school of

aligned with any faith but confining
their attacks principally to Moham-

grown sufficiently numerous to estab-

however, the great masses cling to
the faith OF their fathers, the dissen-
ters representing only the intellectual
few, and many Of these cling TO the
forms and ceremonies Of Ishlam.
