attack on the German lines before

The principal gains of the Germans
during the day were made in the vi

made a sortie and fell on the allies
lines, which retired in some confu-

The Germans gain at La Bassee was
greater than at any other portion of

The battles to the north, particularly

Plan invasion of England.

The Hague, Oct 20.-Germany, ac-
cording to information received here
from Berlin, is preparing to deal Great
Britain a decisive blow The scheme
is to disembark several army corps
somewhere in the south of England,
while the grand fleet is occupied with
fighting the German fleet in the North
sea.
German experts believe the plan will
be entirely successful.
According to this information, as
soon as the last resistance of the Bel
gian army is disposed of there will
be a great movement OF landsturm
troops from central Germany to Os-
tend and Zeebrugge, where they will
await an opportunity to cross to the
English shore and march on London.

FROM MANY LANDS

On the basis of the late census
it is stated that 95 per cent OF
the children of school age in
Japan are attending their educa-
tional institutions which are up
to-date in every respect. And
not only is there a widespread
popular educational movement,
but also it extends directly along
religious lines. For instance,
we are told that 10000 japanese
students are now making
definite preparations for the
Buddhist priesthood.

How many persons do you

has declared that 600 is the larg-
est number man can know per
sonally, carrying the names in
his head. If you think the pro-
fessor is wrong, just sit down at
your desk or table and write
down the names of all the per-
sons you know and who know
you, in-say five hours. Those
who have the patience to try out
their popularity with their own
memories will find that the
names will come to their minds
thick and fast for the first hun
dred or so, but after that, if they
think out one a minute they will
be going some"

THE MosLEM MULTITUDE

According to the latest figures
there are 100000, 900 Mohamme-
dams in the world. Though scat
tered widely over the globe they
have maintained remarkable
solidarity and their vitality is
really wonderful, says the Bib
cal Recorder. Some expert
students of Islam, as, for exam
pie, DR.. Zwemer, of Cairo,
Egypt, believe that the fitness of
time has come for the Cross to
conquer the Crescent. We ear
nestly hope that such is the case,
but even so, the task is Hercu-
lean. America has 277,547 Mos
lens in the Philippines. The
Netherlands have over $4,000
600 in the East Indies. Great
Britain has over 66,ooo,ooo in
India. China has about $780,
600. There are 100000 in
Russia and 100000 in Africa,
and they are scattered all the
way from Afghanistan to Mo-
rocco. What mighty multi
tude of Moslems in the earth I!

A STRIKING COMPARISON

About one-hfth of the human
race are inhabitants of India,
Burma and Ceylon the mind can
hardly grasp such figures as
3I6,o1o,S46, the present popula-
ton, of whom it is estimated
that now nearly four millions are
Christians. A visiting Hindu at
the Purity Congress held in Min
neapolis bore his testimony that
Christianity "has gained practi-
callly no Roadway in In dia."
According TO the census taken in
1917 the Christian community
has increased in ten years thirty
three and third per cent, while
the general population has in
creased but thirteen per cent.
So good an authority as DR..
Griswold tells us, in striking
comparison, that while in the
United States ninety per cent of
the people are literate, and ten
per cent illiterate, in India the
figures may be reversed. A very
liberal estimate of those who can
read is ten out of every hundred.
But new plan for popular edu
cation has now been enacted as
law. and means the dawn of a
new era for India.
