Muddy water and other unfavorable
conditions greeted scores OF bass fisher
men who went to the upper Potomac last
Saturday for their weekend outing, and
very few Ash were caught. Saturday
morning the Potomac river was clear at
Harpers Ferry. but the heavy rains in
the Shenandoah valley had muddied the
Shenandoah river. while the Potomac re-
mained clear until Saturday night.
Those who were on the river early Sum-
day morning were disappointed at finding
the water in such a condition that there
was not the slightest possibility of sim
g.e bass being caught. they thought, al
though. IL is stated, several small ones
were landed before night. Many Of the
anglers. however. did not get strike.
The muddy water extended all the way
from the upper river to this city. the rain
along the river having swollen most or
the smaller creeks and sent the mud from
the fields along them. Since Sunday sew
eral rains have had the effect OF increas-
ing the muddy conditions, SO that many
of the bass fishermen will go to salt
water for tomoTrow's outing.
Reports from Chesapeake Beach, Colo
NAL Beach. Annapolis and other places
along the salt water to the lower Poto-
mac and Chesapeake bay indicate de-
cided improvement in fishing during the
last week. Fish also have been caught
along the lower Patuxent river In guam

THE KINGDOM OF SPAIN.
XIII -ISlam'S Vanished
Glory.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Among the examples Of Saracenic ar
chitecture that remain in Spain to recall
to the traveller in that country the period
in which the followers OF the prophet
swarmed over the Iberian peninsula and
penetrated beyond the Pyrenees, many
inanmate objects serve to center the at
tention Of the Christian upon the inan-
innate condition OF the Moslem religion at
the present time as compared to its mill
fancy between the handing Of Tarik FL
Tuerto at Gibraltar and the crushing of
the Arab Moors under Amir ADdu-r-rah-
man by Charles Martel and his Franks
upon the fields Of Touraine.
At El-Azhar, the Moslem university in
Cairo, which was once the center OF
learning Of the world, the Koran now
constitutes the major part OF the curricu-
lum, students learn religious texts by
rote and dream Of the intellectual con-
quest Of the world by Islam. This in
stitution, which is now about thousand
Moslems invaded the section of Europe
that Is now France with the hope OF
pushing their conquests to the North sea,
and making for the crescent q conquest
of the world by the scinitar.
No event of world history was more
dramatic, and more significant ethically
considered. than the turning back OF the
Arab-Moors by the Christians under the
grandfather OF Charlemagne. The battle
of Tours was the triumph of the 1ndo-
Germanic race over the Semitic race. as
we'll as the beginning of the advance Of
the cross into territory that had been
wrested from the Christians by armies
ordered into the field by the Khalif at
Damascus. to overthrow the Gothic rulers
Of Spain. who, in their turn, had crossed
the Pyrenees to rout the decadent Ro-
mans from the scenes Of their earlier
conquest Of the Celtiberians.

cathedral, now stands. But IN Spain
there remain many evidences of the epi
advance of the Moslems that was termi-
mated at the confluence of the Cher and
the Loire. In battle that lasted week
and was marked by frightful carnage.
Before the crescent received its coup de
grace in Touraine the Arab Moors lad
extended their dominions thousand
miles from Gibraltar. Another thousand
miles would have taken them to the con.
fines OF Poland and the highlands of Scot
