came Explains His Novel The Renaissance Of Islam

man cannot go on from sin to sir
without becoming a worse man. The
awful monster within must be tiraIl,

This, again, was one Of the things
tried to illustrate in my recent book
NV man, my judge, is swept on from
sin to sin until at last he is guilty Of a
crime--the worst of all crimes to him,
the betrayal of justice. Then his con-
science awakes. He sees that he is
heading on to self-destruction and
dragging his little community down
with him. Finally, and for the last
time, his sin has found him out Is
that like making an apology for it?
'Eut, then.' 1t is said. "ysu seem
to love your wretched sinner and
criminal, and obviously expect your
readers to love him."
Quite true. In describing, his strue-
gles in the tolls Of his temptation I
treated him as tenderly as if he had
been my own son. It has been nv ex-
perience throughout q life that now
grows long that no man born Of
woman has ever been conscious vii
lain, and that you can sympathize in
some sort with the blackest scoundrel
unhanged if you only come close enough
to him.
About thirty years ago I visited in
his Jail in Philadelphia Holmes, the
murderer, whom Lombroso calls "the
criminal of genius" He had killed
twenty women for the sake of their in.
surance money, and was apparently the
most heartless being alive. Going uu
the iron staircase to the condemned
cell was trembling in every limb at
the prospect of coming face to face
with an inhuman monster; but, twenty
minutes later, coming down again with
throbbing throat, was saying to the
Governor, "Thank God, I'm not Judge
Il would let off every one
of them" AS in life, SO in art. To
know all is to forgive ALL No novelist
ever yet depicted a great sinner with
out in some way loving him. Arthur
Dimmesdale was a shameless hypo-
critic; but if you think Hawthorne did
not love his guilty clergyman, read
again that wonderful scene on the
scaffold, and if there are tears in your
eyes when you come to the end of it,
ask yourself if there were not tears
i'll the authors eyes also. Paskolnikoff,
in "Crime and Punishment" was a
brutal and cowardly murderer who
killed helpless old woman from be-
hind with hatchet; but if you think
Dostoieffsky did not love him, look
again at that immortal chapter in
which, by the light of dying piece
of candle, the assassin and the harlot
read the story of the raising Of Lazarus
from the Book of Books.

Rebnth Of Mahometan Zeal
Analysed by Lothrop Stoddard
New Solidarity of Moslem World Shown as
Vltally Important Factor in World
Politics

.stock-the Ottoman Turks, the Turko-
mans OF Central Asia and Persia. the
Tartars of South Russia and Trans
caucasia, the Magyars of Hungary, the
fInns of Finland and the Baltic prov-
lnces, the aboriginal tribes OF Siberia
and the Manchus and Mongols of China
was sponsored by the Young Turks,
who came into power after the down
fall of Abdul Hamid. The hope of
realizing this dream, at least in part
through the dissolution of the Russian
and British Asiatis empires was a de-
clslve factor in persuading Turkev to
ally herself with Germany in the war.
The defeat of Germany temporarily
ended these ambitious aspirations. The
Young Turk leaders fed to Russia for
safety, and the Treaty Of Savres practi-
caliy ended Turkeys existence as an
independent power. But the Treaty Of
Sevres remained dead letter from the
day it was signed, and England and
France have recently washed their
hands Of all responsibility for its ex-
ecution.
The resolute opposition which Mus
tapha Kemaps Angora government has
offered to the Greeks and the Ma
tionalist anti-British movements which
have taken place in Persia and Afghan
istan seem to have paved the way for
IS T..-
darity. A treaty of alliance between
Turkey and Afghanistan has already
been concluded. and it seems likely that
Persia will be drawn into this block of
Mahometan states.
In the beginning tho Russian Boil
sheviki, pursuing their ideal of world
revolution, enthusiastically aided the
Mahomatan and Nationalist revolts
against the Christian European powers.
OF late, however, the alliance between
Bolshevism and Islam has passed under
cloud. Nationalist leaders and princes
like Mustapha Kemal and the Emir of
Afghanistan have no desire to see their
own power swept away by Soviet revo-
lutions in their own. lands, and the
"Bolshevization" of Turkestan, Bokhara
and Azerbaijan has filled them with
apprehension.
AT the same time, as Mr.. Stoddard
points out, these Asiatic nationalists
are really between the devil and the
deep sea. Theoretically altogether op-
posed to communism, they are driven
into the arms Of Lenine by the brutal
methods of foreign conauerors like
General Gouraud.
Taken in connection with the general
awakening of Asia, which has come as
result of Western enlightenment, the
recrudescence of Mahometan zeal is
portent that cannot be ignored. 1t
may we'll be charged with consequences
vitality affecting the destinyaof Europe
and Asia alike. Mr.. Stoddard wisely
does not attempt to predict the exact
course of movement which is domi-
mated by so many intangible and in
calculable elements of religious fanati-
cism. But hes does outline very clearly
the present realities and future poten- i
tialities Of a situation that may lead
to the next great war; He sketches the
gorgeous setting for the possible ti-
tanlc clash between East and West.

down the law to Mr.. Hooper, the head

it is more than likely that two young
cubs like Catty and his partner would
have been soundly spanked before they
had been week in a real logging
camp.

LEGION PLEASED
 WITH REHEARSAL

Remarkably good progress is being made in rehearsals by the company which will present "Katcha-K -Koo," a musical phantasy, at Hauber's Grand theatre on February 24 and 25 under auspieces of the Theodore Campbell post of the American Legion. Miss Robertson, who is directing rehear- sals, put the chorus and the princi- pals through their first real work out last night and their showing was excellent. The phantasy Is a bright and we'll written musical comedy and the company promises to do full jus tice to it in the two performances here.
 Rehearsals are being held each night in the rooms of the Conway Commer- cial Club with some of the groups meeting for afternoon rehearsals. On account of a conflict with the regu- lar meeting of .he Commercial Club, the rehearsal tonight will be held in the Elks hall

SUPPLY LIBRARIES
 FOR WAR DISABLED
(By United Press

Washington, Feb. 15.-The fact that the sundry civil appropriation bill, re- ported to the house of representatives, appropriates s1oO,0OO for the pur- chase of library books, magazines, and papers for beneficiaries of war risk insurance will become news to military patients in public health service hos pitals. The American Library Asso- ciation, which still administers the libarries in the larger hospitals, is embarrassed financially and has to be assisted by other organizations. The public health service has no appro- priation which it could use for the purpose. The new appropriation saves the situation; but, unless it is made available immediately instead of July 1, as is customary, reading mat

IAN old Cape Cod settler made both

denurred because he was busy max

was imperative, so it occurred to the
inslstent customers that New Eng
land rum might help. SO bottle was
forthcoming. The old fellow took a
swig and agreed that he reckoned
he would have to accommodate the
gentleman. In two days they returned
to find the old man asleep in the cor
