Many wild tales have been hltering, slowly, but
surely, from that far land in the last three years.
Narratives of chickering's, of wars and agrees

battlings. Out of it all has formed the very real
specter of the Russian bear, marching with heavy,
sure tread from the west, grumbling low on the
road to Pekin and Lhasa.
When China lost this empire, much more than
twice as large as the southern states which seced-
ed in 1861, and with a population of 10000 600
yellow-skinned Tartars, little attention was at

the Khutukhta has no right to marry yet no
sooner did he become independent (as he
thought) than he not only took to himself a wife,
but actually proclaimed her to be the reincarna-
ton of the goddess Chagandara!
To be anybody in Mongolia you must be the
reincaration Of somebody. This takes the place
OF Norman blood.
For three years he has been allowed to main
tain this standing scandal at his monastery at
Urga, the Russians encouraging him. But now
the Russians. using Yuan and the Dalai lama as
catspaws, are about to put the Khutukhta to the
question through the last-named worthy.
There will be little sympathy wasted on the
Khutukhta himself. He is certainly a most un-
worthy representative of the Buddhist church.
The Khutukhtas of Urga originated at the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century, when the
Dalai Lama, after a long period of real, If not
nominal captivity, at the capital Of Mongolia, re-
turned to Lhasa.
The question arose: How would the Mongols

dred and thirteen years old. At her
grave were three daughters, all of

was sold to Col. Dennis Furby of North

There is an old and tenaciousIy held
theory that the negro has a greater re-
sistance to malaria than the white
Recent Investigations by public
health service tend to throw doubt on
this belief.
In Alabama, during a three-year
period, the number of deaths from
malaria was one and one-half times as
great among colored persons as among
white. In Mississippi in 1913 2.3 times
as many negroes as whites died of this
group of diseases. Several thousand
blood examinations were made to test
the prevalence of malarial infection in
the general population. In Arkansas,
less than six per cent of the whites
examined had the malarial organism
in their blood, while 7.6 per cent of
the negroes we're so afflicted. In North
Carolina the germ was found in rs
per cent Of the whites and Ills per
cent of the colored persons examined.
In spite of these statistics the old
opinion may be correct. The investi-
cation is still too incomplete to war
rant any sweeping conclusions. Ma
laria is a rural disease, and the negro
is a country dweller. His environment
Is against him in other ways The
bulk of the population in the healthy
uplands of Mississippi is white, but
the negro clusters so thickly in the
fertile but malarial cotton lands Of the
Yazoo delta and other parts of the
"hlank haltp that tho ranaua Of the
state shows 1,009, 4S7 colored persons
to only 1911 white.
The question can be settled only by
an exhaustive comparison of whites
and blacks living in the anne environ
ment. under the same conditions.
There is a strong probability that such
a test would support the old belief that
the negro r~esists malaria better than
the white man.

A study of the situation in the Ne
gro Baptist churches Of Chicago
strengthens the conviction that an
efficient and unifying organization is
really their greatest necessity. Their
disposition to organize and the special
needs of the city should eventually
bring this about. At present we
have improved upon the Methodist
churches. They have five different
conferences, but it must be said that
in spite of this they cooperate In a
friendly spirit.
The Negro Baptists at the present
time have two associations. Any time
spent in efforts to explain the basis
of their doctrinal or personal differ
ences might better be used in trying
to secure a real basis of cooperation
for their mutual improvement and ad-
vance. 1t seems that some organiza-
ton of these churches on the basis of
the city work, to prevent overlapping,
to over assistance, to plan future work
as necessity may require and not as
individual caprice may suggest is a
matter of real Importance.
This organized cooperation to in
crease the efficiency Of all the
churches is a natural step to be taken
in the processes Of their growth and
may be looked for at any time. AS
n examines the location and the &C
tivities of different Baptist churches,
and sees new churches started under
the very caves of some older one, be-
cause of a doctrinal or personal differ
ence, he is convinced that the weight
of influence of these who are trying
to make the churches more useful
should be set against this and in IA
o of that practical comfy for which
the executive council stands.
