TELLS KENOSHA
OF FAR EAST
DIR. Howard Musser, Gum
gle Man." Brings Inter-
esting Message.
"UNSCRAMBLING ASIA"

DR.. Howard A. Musser, the Jungle
Man., brought to Kenosha an interest
ing message from the far east on
Friday evening when following the
regular dinner of the workers of the
Park Avenue Church School in the
parlors of the church, he opened the
two weeks forward movement of the
church with an address on "Unscramb
ling Asia" DIR. Musser served ten
years. as a missionary in the darkest
part of the Indian jungle and he gain
ed there an understanding of the con-
ditions in the countries of Asia.
His address brought the message
that Christian diplomacy proved the
saving of this country for the Allies
during the recent war as the influence
of Christian craftsmanship and evange-
lism had been the force which kept
the east from joining its forces with
Mohammedan Turkey.
Was a Powder Magazine.
cat the opening of the war, eastern
Asia was powder magazine waiting
for a torch, declared the speaker.
"The 800, 100000 peoples all unexpected
ly choose the side of the Allies and the
reason for this was the long period
of Christian activity coupled with the
efforts of Christian statesmen and
evangelists of England and America.
They had laid the foundations for
real Christian policy and the eastern
countries realized that this was the
thing for which the nations were
fighting.
One of the interesting episodes re-
vealed by the speaker was of the con-
ference which kept Mohammedan In
dia from joining w it'll the Central
Powers against the Allies. "The Mo
hammedan Koran said that for re-
lsgious reasons Holy War might be
declared" explained the speaker.
England, fearing that Mohammedan
India might join with Turkey called
in the three great Mohammedan
The Aga-Khan, and the Gaikwar of
Baroda, and showed to them that the
situation existing in 1914 did not
Justify the terming of it as a holy war.
AS result these people joined with
the Allies and all the mission world
was saved. The price of that arrange
ment Was that England should with
draw from the Dardanelles and not
hold Constantinople against the Turks
and that when things settled down the
three Mohammedan princes should be-
come the head of Islam with head
quarters in India. The new capital
Of India is to be located in this part
of the country and moved from Cal
cutta, thus more firmly uniting these
peoples to the British Empire.
The speaker commented on the sit
uation in Japan but declared that
there would be no fear from that
country as long as Christian missionar-
les and Christian statesmen aided the
Liberal party in staying in control.
The speaker also commented on the
situation in China and declared that
that country stands ready and wide
open to receive whatever America gives
to her.
This evening DR.. Musser will give an
address under the auspices of the home
and foreign missionary societies of
the church at which time he will
speak on "Wild Animals 1 Have En-
countered in the Jungle" He is a
marvelously interesting speaker and
has had wealth of experience. His
address this evening is mixture of
humor and adventure.
