Editor and Student Sees Collapse OF
White and Christian Races.
Asbury Park, y. J. Oct lS.-Within
a hundred years the white and Chris
tian races will have lost their pre-
dominating influence in world affairs,
and within century and a half the
yellow and Mohammedan peoples will
sweep oyer the face Of the globe in an
irresistible wave and become the
dominant power. 1t is a veritable
rising ride Of Islam" that William T..
AuShinbaugh, editor of the New York
Commercial, Bolivian representative
in the Tacna-Arca land dispute. and
SloDc trotter of a quarter of a century,
foresees after years Of intensive study
and research in the religious and
economic problems of the Orient, and

that the socalled yellow peril" is in
deed fact and not fancy.
ron fleets and mailed fists OF the
Oriental nations Of today or days to
come do not figure in the portent
which spells the ultimate effacine of

Dr. AuShinDaugh. On the contrary
1t is the rapid increase in population
among the yellow races. particularly
the Chinese, with their ability to grad
ually a1sorb those nations with which
1t comes III contact. and the even more
rapid spread CT the Mohammedan re-
ligion.
The latter. in DR.. Aughinbaugh's
opinion, constitutes the Neatest men

the Chinese, particularly those whose

capacity in numerous other British
and American expeditions to remote
corners OF the world, has been close
student Of the Kaleidoscope changes
of southern Europe as affecting Islam
and the slow turning Of the religious
pendulum in China.
What he found would take volumes
to tell, but Dr.. Aughinbaugh sums it
up in this manner:
The Mohammedan has at least four
wives, the Christian only one The
potentialities of population which the
yellow race now holds, therefore,. is
twice doubled as a result of the con-
dition.
-Four or five thousand miles from
the outposts of the Orient, the aver
age American gives the alarming
growth Of Mohammedism in China on
ly cursory thought. But when it Is
realized that, at the present birth
rate, 100 years will see virtually ,the
entirety Of that country converted to
the creed Of Mchammed. with the
end not in sight, there will be deeper
thinking.
What it means to the civilized
world is a subject worthy of co.:rc,-
tration. There is no use hedging the
