"Mr. Ragsdale was brought to the
Florence Infirmary this afternoon

The subject of the evening ad-

THE secular press and colonial
governments are fully conscious that
Islam is world power" said DR..
Zwemer
The Balkan war has laid bare be-
fore the Musselmen the great secular
problems of his faith. He has begun
TO perceive, for the first time after
many centuries that Islam is not a
mere archaeological expression repre-
senting diverse communities with
lives apart, but living force of
spiritual and social cohesion binding
all Moslems in au nifty of hope, pur-
pose, duty and endeavor.

what that currency bill means to the
South particularly. He says that the
South will begin to realize the benefit
from 1t at once, because the changed
conditions in regard TO money will
make 1t seek investment, and that in
the future the currency of the coun-

those who urged such argument were

PRESIDENT HOLDS
TO- HIS SCHEDULE
Observes His Rule Of Nine
Hours Sleep.
WILL TALK TO JOHN LIND.
Probable That Conference Will he
Held i'm Cottage Where Wilson
is staying.

Pass Christian, Miss, Dec. 81
President Wilson did not sacrifice his
program Of nine-hoUr sleep to the
custom observed by thousands
throughout the country of watching
the old year pass He went to bed
early, as usual, and hoped to get a
good nights rest before his confer
ence tomorrow with John Lind, who
will report in full his observations
during his months in Mexico.
The President declined today to
say whether he would go aboard the
revenue cutter Winona or the scout
cruiser Chester on which Mr.. Lind
sailed from Vera Cruz, but indications
were that the conference would take
place at the cottage where the Presi-
dent is spending his vaction.
The entire affair is cloaked in deep
mystery, every effort being made to
keep secret all phases of Mr.. Lind s
arrival or departure.
HIS USUAL GAME.
After the President had played his
usual game of golf, he met Repre-
sentative Harrison on the links, and
the latter hurried to the commander
OF the Winona which was lying off
the pier
her prov to sea, and tonight was
cruising about Ship island, about
eight miles due south of here. Mr..
Harrison said he was unable to talk
about the incident. At the Presi-
dents cottage it was stated that Mr..
Wilson had not yet decided what he
would do tomorrow and that he
would await word of the sighting of
the Chester before making up his
mind.
1t is apparent here that the Presi-
dent desires to have Mr.. Lind avoid
publicity in connection with his visit
here, and there is good cause for the
belief that the original plan was not
to divulge Mr.. Lind's destination
when he left Vera Cruz. 1t was in
this connection that arrangements
were first made to have the President
board the Winona, it having been
stated that the President might use
the Winona "for a catching trip"
PURPOSE KEPT SECRET.
The purpose of concealing Mr..
Lind's visit has not been disclosed,
but with the publicity that now has
been given his movement it is believ-
ed the original plans have been
abandoned.
This afternoon the President walk
ed to town on a shopping expedition
He bought a tooth brush and lamp
shade, while group of villagers
waited outside the stores to see him
The President looked robust and
healthy as he swung along the street
at a brisk walk.
The citizens of Pass Christian gave
a banquet tonight in honor of the
President and the attaches OF his
party, but Mr.. Wilson did not attend
He sent his regrets through DR.. Cary
Grayson, U. S N, his naval aide, who
represented him at the dinner.
