BRITISH WILL BOW TO TURKS,
DECLARES LOTHROP STODDARD

Minor for months Italy has played
both ends against the middle. The
Turk now has no respect or fear for
the Western powers. The Moham-
nedan has seen that Christian thieves
cannot stick together"
Stoddard went to a bookshelf and
took down a copy Of his New World
Of Islam"
Listen to this quotation from a
speech by Lloyd George" Stoddard
said. ION Jan. 5, 1915, the British
prime minister made the following
declaration: nor are we fighting to
deprive Turkey of it's capital or OF
the rich and renowned lands in Thrace
which are preaominantly Turkish in
race
The book closed with snap.
THAT was the pledge of Lloyd
George. In that same year, when
all ed statesmen We're talking about
self determination, they were drawing
up secret treaties dividing Turkey
among the allied powers.
Now what is the situation? On one
side we have the quarreling thieves.
England, France and Italy are split
by dissension. On the other side is
Mustapha Renal, shrewd and able.
and surrounding him a body of ca
pable men and women.
"One of the important factors in
Turk success has been 9alide IIanum,
feminist leader Of the Nationalist
group and now a. member of Kemal's
cabinet.
AN the brains and spirit Of Tur-
key are behind Mustapha Renal. The
spirit of Turkey was never higher
than it is today. The Turks are de-
termined to do or die and behind Tur-
key is the burning enthusiasm of the
Moslem world" =
Advises America to Keep Out
rs an alliance Of Turkey, Germany,
Russia and Bulgaria probable?" he
was asked.
1T is possible. If the nations of
western Europe continue to treat Tur-
key as they are now doing and have
done. they will drive it into the arms
Of the Soviet-just as they will drive
Germany If France carries on her
present tactics.
Neither Germany nor Turkey
want TO turn Bolshevik but the allies
may force them to take the step.
Islam doesn't want to go over to
Russia. 1t is fundamentally a system
Of authority.
LAS for America, believe this ma
ton should mind its own affairs. We
should interfere in no manner what
soever. 1t is certainly most fortunate
that we did not take over a mandate
for Asia Minor as many were urging
at one time"
Should Venizelos be restored to
power as former Ambassador Oscar
Straus urged?"
My suggestion is that we leave
Greece alone. Other nations have
been using Greece as a football long
enough. Let the Greeks decide how
and by whom they shall be ruled The
Immediate cause of the disturbance is
that the allies put the Greeks into
Smyrna. Greece had not a shred or
right to be there

New World of Islam'-a volume now
a year old in which the present state
of affairs was predicted. Great Brit
ain France and Italy have been pur-

Great Britain will have to back
down. The British government viii be

be reservations on Turkeys part,
with regard to the Straits. These, l

face-saving on both Sides"
"And if Great Britain defends Con-

"If England fires a rifle against the
Turks along the Dardanelles. the echo
will be heard through all Islam. In
the great stretch of Mohammedan
world. there will be a series Of ex
plosions-each one a revolt against
Christian rulers.
II do not look for a Holy War in
the sense that there viii be an or

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Exist-

1T is a condition in which every
American public man should take an

Aside from being the successor in

closely identified with baseball than
any other man in public life.
He is chief counsel for the National
League. He represented both the Ma

successful fight of these organizations

He was retained by both organiza-

Senator Pepper
Il greatly depIore the use of base
ball as an occasion for organized
gambling" Senator Pepper declared.
Most Of the pool playing which
takes place constitutes an offense
against local laws which States and
munic palities should enforce.
"Organized baseball is not in itself
interstate commerce. The mere fact
that gambling relates to this sport
gives Congress no regulatory powers,
except to the extent that Interstate
means of commerce are used to make
the gambling possible"

PREDICTIONS

Many months ago Lothrop Stod-
dard, Americas leading authority
on Mohammedan affairs, foresaw
the events of today.
In an interview with NEA serv-
ice on March %. 1922 Stoddard
made these predictions:
Il predict increasing ferment
and unrest throus hout all Is
lam.
THE result must inevitably be
the diminution of white control in
Asia and Africa.
France at present is precipi-
tatlng trouble in Syria.
THE cataclysm may come. 1t
win come if England and France
pursue a short-sighted policy and,
by repressive measures, drive lib
eral Mohammedans into the ranks
of the extremists"
Today the wires are bearing con-
firmation of these predictions.
Now. Stoddard makes his latest
predictions
The Turkish recovery Of Con-
stantinople and Thrace.
