MOSLEM GROWTH IL THREATEN
ING CHRISTIANITY, METH.
ODISTS HEAR.

Saratoga Springs, ~ Y, May g.
Unless Christianity takes immediate
steps to check the rapid extension of
Mohammedanism in Africa by the fur
nishing Of more missionaries and
money to carry on their work millions
will be won for the project in a few
years.
This was the salient point of the re-
port Of the board of foreign missions
read before the Methodist Episcopal
general conference at yesterday ses-
sion. The report also gave a line on
the activities of missionaries in Eu-
rope, South America, China, Japan,
Philippines, India and Mexico. The
board stated that the Dark Continent
is the great battle ground of Christian
ity and Mohammedanism.
In closing the report asked for an
appropriation of at least for 100000
use by the board of missions in Eu-
rope. 1t adds that upon the conclu-
sion of the war the church will face
such commanding opportunities as
will startle even those accustomed
to the swift panorama of a changing
world"
The proposed union of the branches
Of Methodism was brought officially
to the attention of the delegates for
the first time in the form of report
submitted by Bishop Earl Cranston OF
Washington, d. c., in behalf of the
commission on federation which has
represented the general conference In
preliminary negotiations. The COM
mission reported that every difficulty
we have overcome points imperatively
toward the UIHon or American Metho-
dism."
No special plan of union was in
dorsed. but instead the commission
recommended the appointment of a
commission of sixty members, with di-
rections to report not later than May
Is with definite suggestions for fed
Grafton. To this committee all pro-
posals pertaining to uniflcation are toI
be referred in the meantime.

The memorandum said that numer-
Gus cases had come to light from re-
ports of the German naval forces "in
which British merchantmen not only
offered armed resistance to German
warships, but on their own part, pro-
ceded without further ado to attack
them, in which attacks they frequent
ly made use of false colors"
Appendices to the communication

Of instructions of the British admiralty
describing the procedure of armed
British merchantmen which were
found on captured ships. They we're
alleged to contain precise regulations
concerning the reception, treatment,
activity and control of British gur
crews aboard merchantmen.
Under these instructions" the
memorandum said, 1T is rendered
clear that armed English merchant
ships have official permission treach-
erously to attack German submarines
when they come near; that is to wage
war against them unscrupulously."
