RAYMOND ROBINS

Brickmaker, farm hand, coal miner,
Klondiker, lawyer, labor arbitrator
senatorial candidate from Illinois and
religious worker among the college
men of the nation. In brief, this is the
history of Raymond Robins, the man
around whom are centered the reli-
gious meetings held this week.
While practicing law in San Fran
cisco, Robins was lured to the Klon-
dixie region along with $4,000, other
men who hoped to discover the Ell
Dorado of their dreams. Robins went
to Bonanza Creek, where later was
founded Dawson, Alaska. 1t was
here, while he was undergoing the
terrible hardships of the Alaskan
winters, racked by disease and facing
starvation, that his real mission in
life became apparent to him. He re-
solved that as soon as he could find
his strike" he would enter into the
field of religious service.
His first work was to clean out the
notorious Nome gang" But while
on an errand of mercy during these
trying times, he was stricken with
typhoid fever and for many weeks
was near death. He was brought
back to the Estates" on a stretcher.
Since his return his work is mat
ter of history. Two years ago at the
University of Wisconsin he spoke to
the largest mems mass meeting ever
held at the school. In his meetings
at the University of Kansas last
month 700 men were converted. Dur
ing the past year probably the great
est religious campaigns in the history
of American Universities, were held
at Yale, Columbia, Penn State, Michi-
gan. Kansas and Nebraska. In all
these meetings the prominent factor
was Raymond Robins.

which enabled the Warships to gauge
the fire TO a nieety.
The Turks were helpless 10 protect
themselves from the airships for they
were without high angle guns.
Through the information secured by
the airmen, il is believed that Of the
1000 shells fired by the warships
from their stand, 12,000 yards dis
tant, less than a dozen were wasted.
One landing party at Kun Kali was
met by a strong force OF Turks and
German marines who opened fire on
them with rifles. There was one ma
chine gun and the defenders tried to
bring this into action. The British
charged, however, and fierce hand to
hand fighting followed. After few
minutes the Turks broke and fled over
the Mendere bridge, which shells from
the warships had already partly de-
stroyed. The Turks left many dead
and wounded. The allied losses were
only one killed and three wounded.
The landing party captured two four
inch guns, which the Turks, fleeing,
had tried to conceal near Tomba-
chilles, and four Nordenfeldt guns
covering the entrance to the works.
The landing party at Sedd-el- Bahr
met no resistance. They found the
place in complete ruins and took a
number of guns which the Turks had
abandoned.
