oreignerS-American capital will find
the development of the lands of North
ern Africa and Western Asia more
profitable than similar investments in
South America. The problems are those
OF new countries, with which American
engineers are quite familiar. Even now
Americans are planning to build Persian
railways. Various Europeans are inter-
eSted in those of Turkey.
American investors may soon be So
licited to buy the securities of Persia
and Turkey. for the governments are
not afraid that American capital will
pave the way for territorial annexation.
On the other hand, they have not for
gotten that British and French bond
holders caused the British control of
Egypt, and that foreign bankers domi-
mated Turkish finance.
What will be the result? Famine.
civil war, ruin and death, as in China
Peace, prosperity, good administration
as in British administered Egypt before
the war? European political, economic
and financial domination, as formerly
or the triumphant rise of new ma
tons, independent, successful, rising
rapidly like Japan to places in the FAM
lily of nations?
Opinions differ widely, according to
tAiC !luAFAuudl pIIllOSOpny OF lie. we
can be sure, however, that the civiliza-
ton of the Mahometan races will not
be an imitation of our own, as is that
of South and Central America. AS Japan
borrowed largely from the cultures of
Korea, China, India and Europe, but
remained basically japanese, so Moslem
social orders gill assimilate European
elements, which, however, will be out
numbered by those of the ages past.
Christianity has made slow progress
in Mahometan, Hindu and Buddhist
lands. The efforts of numbers of de-
voted, self-sacrificing, conscientious mis-
sionarieS have not borne adequate fruit.
The millions of American and European
money have succeeded Ill improving
sanitation and education, but the genu-
inc converts are few, except among the
lower classes. This is particularly true
among the Moslems. The day when the
whole world will be Christian seems far
away.
We even now can see the future of
the Moslem revival. although dimly,
without details. The day of European
domination by force of the races of
Northern Africa and Asia has gone for
ever. Itfis useless to attempt to stem
the tide. We should hasten to offer

reforms. Reza had to take command
of his armies in various rebellions.
Amanullah, after fight for his life
against the rebels, could not even save
his throne by canceling his bias
phemous" orders and withdrawing near
ly all his program of Western reforms.
Have They Gone Too Fast?
Have these and other reformers. gone
too fast? Have they committed the
unforgivable sin of the Orient in at
tempting to hustle the East? Have
they imposed upon unwilling peoples
thin veneer of sham foreign civili-
cation which will crack away when
subjected to strain? This is what was
done by Peter the Great of Russia, and
Bolshevism Is fundamentally the sweep
ing away OF all these outlandish con-
traptions and the restoration of insti-
buttons consistent with true Russian
character and ideals.
Amanullah of Afghanistan is not the
only one OF these rulers who have been
troubled by revolt and treason. Mus
tapha has found it necessary to order
that all those who oppose him are to
be eXlled, imprisoned or executed. It is
rumored that Reza refused to renew
the contract of the American, Mr.
MliSpdugn, VINO performed the m1racu-
lous reorganization of Persian finance,
because the latter impeded the ac-
emulation of deposits in foreign banks
to provide for the time when the
Shah would be driven out by rebels.
In every Moslem country we see
similar struggles between the old and
the new, between the machine and the
artisan, the indolent inefficiency of the
East and the exasperating precision of
the West. The result is the unrest,
misery and chaos which for years have
crushed the working classes all over the
Orient
Formerly the artisans were sure of
modest livelihood in supplying the
wants of their neighbors. Each could
estimate what his trade required and
had no fear of being undersold. as the
costs of raw materials and labor were
the same for all his competitors. Now,
however, he is constantly undersold by
goods made by tireless and soulless ma
chimes, while his raw materials soar in
price to fill the demands of their in
satiable steel maws Ground between

Has Right Idea

For over fifty years, physicians

all over the world have recognized
this fine old medicine as the STAN
dard remedy for those ills of child
hood, such as biliousnesS, sallow,
"broken-out" skin, constipation.

ness, no appetite or energy, etc.
Children love the rich, fruity taste
of California Fig Syrup and their
whole system benefits from its
gentle influence. 1t quickly purges
the child's system of all waste; it
regulates the bowels and stomach.
and gives these organs tone and
strength so they continue to act
normally, of their own accord.
A Washington mother, Mrs. w. L.
Boswell, 1928 N st. NV. says: "My
little son, Edward, became consti-
pated when he was just two
months old. His stomach and
bowels seemed to be weak. Then
we started him on California Fig
Syrup. 1t regulated him quick.
Soon he began picking up and he
hasn't had bit of his old trouble
since. He's a strong, healthy boy
now at two years."
Always ask for California Fig
Syrup by the full name to protect
yourself from limitations. All drug
stores have it. Four million
bottles used year shows its
popularity.

Fighting Fire With Fire.
Fight fire with fire" is an old
proverb, and the more intelligent Ma
hometan leaders are convinced that the
only way to hold their own against the
pressure of European Imperialism is to
adopt the economic processes of Eu-
rope. The decision of the japanese in
1868 to do this was the only thing
that saved them from the fate of
China and India. Mustapha Renal
Pasha, "Conqueror of the Infidels" in
Turkey: Reza. Shah of Persia, and
Amanullah, former Ameer of Afghanis-
tan, have tried feverishly to- carry out
this plan before it is too late. Mus
tapha Renal and Reza have accom-
plisned wonders in political reorganiza-
ton, in new legislation and in chang
ing manners and customs.
MuStapha Renal Pasha tore their red
fezzes and flowing robes from the Turks
and the wells from the hidden faces of
the women. Amanullah tried to cramp

Conservatism is fundamental in
Oriental character. Stubborn opposi-
ton to all these sacrilegious changes
and blaSphemous defiances of the pre-
cepts of the Koran is active among the
clergy, peasants and lower classes. It

every radical, and the bolshevists are
overlooking no opportunity.
The only salvation of any Of the
Moslem lands is the adoption of the
complete economic organization of the
West. Poverty and death are the fruits
of trying to assume part of the po-
litical and social methods without in
naturalization. None Of the Ma
hometan races has so far shown any
skill in manufacture or business. Their
fear of oppression and their hate OF
foreigners prevent them from employ
ing the indispensable European capital,
managers and technical employees. The
complete failure of Mustapha to solve
the industrial problems of Turkey is
the main cause of the opposition of his
liberal former associates. Persia and
Afghanistan are countries without in
dustries.
All these lands are inconceivably
poor, for backward agriculture and
handicrafts cannot produce much in
come for farmers, merchants or govern
ments. The overtaxed people cannot
furnish the funds for roads, railroads,
sanitation, education and other mod
ern improvements.
Yet most of these lands are poten-
TALLY rich. Turkey and Persia possess
OH IleluS WHICH may rival GIlOSe Vi 1tuS-
STA and Mexico. Undeveloped mines
of copper, gold. coal. iron and other
minerals abound and are coveted by
European and American capitalists.
American oil companies have been bid
ding on the Persian oil fields. some of
which are being operated by British
companies. The Chester Concession"
promise vast wealth to those who de-
velop the mines and build the railroads
of Turkey.
Development Is Needed.
Europeans are now at work exploring
the possibilities Of Afghanistan. The
competition of different groups of Euro
pean capitalists for the iron mines of
the Riff was the underlying cause for
the disastrous Riffan War. There are
few good roads or railroads, and neither
the peoples nor the governments have
the money to build them. Yet the
rulers will not grant concessions to
foreigners on terms which would attract
capital. develop the resources and make
the whole region prosperous.

CARNEGIE MENTOR
DREAMS OF TITLE

to Improve His Great

Bench In Chicago-is back for
his seventh straight vacation, this time
with the dream Of q national champion
In his eyes as he picks up again the
coaching burdens of Carnegie Techs big
foot ball team.
For Is years Steffen, once q great
quarterback at Chicago under "Old
Man" Stage, has struggled nightly to
push the Tartan Plaid to the top of the
Nations foot ball heap. For seven
years he has sacrificed his vacations to
hustle back to Pittsburgh for the train
Ing season. Each playing Saturday he
commutes to the games from Chicago.
leaving instructions with his assistant
coaches for the following weeks drills,
but not until two years ago did the grid
iron gods smile on his efforts.
Tech always had good teams but
never title contenders. Then along
came Notre Dame, riding the high wave,
to battle the Scotsmen In q game they
considered tough but not too tough.
Carnegie tipped them over. Then Car
negie walloped the well-prepared
Rockne men again last Fall, along with
Georgetown, Pittsburgh and Washing

OF New York University. on the greatest
day OF its season, crushed down the
Tartan Plaid.
This Fall Steffen plans to pick up
where the violen viOlets left his team
last Fall and press on to new heights.
He has splendid material to work with
and a schedule to bring out the very
best in them.
Despite the graduation Of Howard

halfbacks, Letzelter and Moorhead.

mentS are strong.
The line has lost an end, center and
guard, leaving the major problem in the
middle Of the line. Capt. Dreshar and
Yearina probably will handle the guard
positions, with Ducans at center.
Murray Armentrout, sophomore, who
does most anything, will fill the vacant
wing with bulky veterans, Schnupp.

SCRIMMAGE NEEDED
TO PICK ARMY MEN

WEST POINT. N. Y, September IL.
With Army still to hold its FIRST
Scrimmage, considerable uncertainty ex-
lists in the mind Of Capt. ''Biff" Jones,
head foot ball coach, as to Cadets who
will fill the many holes left through
graduation. As in previous years, "'Bin"
Is devoting the first two weeks to
fundamentals and hardening exercises.
At center, p. G. Miller, Gordon and
Lazar appear to be the strongest candi-
dates. Miller and Gordon are second
classmen, while LaZar played center on
last years plebe team. Miller seems to
have q slight advantage.
Lieut.. johnny" Stokes, who Is han
ding the centers, Is putting these men
through long drills.
New men. candidates for line posi-
tions. who are showing promise are
Suarez, Spengler, Price and Hillsinger.
All were on last years plebe team.
Spengler and Price are tackles, while
Suarez and Hillsinger are guards.
AS Perry is the only regular linesman
left, indications are that these yearlings
will force Humber, Maxwell and Par
ham. 1928 reserve linesmen, to extend
themselves.
In the backfield new candidates are
Glattly, Golden, Stocker, Landry and
Moore. All were on last years plebe
team. but with veterans like eagle,
Murrell, OKeefe, Gibner, Hutchinson
Piper and Timberlake competing for
places their chances on making the
first team this year are not bright.
