_The problem of Mohammedanism
“the unsolved note of the pe
ference,” was outlined by
Dr. S. M.
Zwemer, missionary to Arabia, in chapel
last Sunday evening.
“A hundred years after Mohammed’s
death,” said Dr. Zwemer, “his name,
coupled with that of God, was called
from the minarets from Spain to China.
Mohammedanism d
has defeated it in
Asia Minor, where the mo
verted churches, ._.
's Christianity, and
rth Africa and in
sques are con-
“The ideals of Mohammed are the
iding star of the social system of the
ohammedan ‘world, and in their wake
follow illiteracy, child marriage and
other social evils. Though there is no
religion which so resembles Christian-
ity, the longer one lives with Moham-
medans the deeper the chasm is seen to
be. There is no posS‘bility of compro
mise between the two religions.”
Dr. Zwemer declared the problem of
Mohammedanism to be political as well
as religious, since Islam is not a state
church, but a church state. The Ger-
mans tried to mobilize its farces by stir-
ring up a “holy” war, “made in Ger-
many.” All governments are obliged to
have a Mohammedan policy, for the Mo-
hammedans are still restless under
Christian rule. 7
“As a result of the war in the East,”
concluded Dr. Zwemer, “the doors of
the. Near East are nailed open, and eco-
nomic progress and enlightenment have
begun. To meet the challenge thus ex-
tended, the Church must occupy the
Near East with a new program of social,
ethical and religious advancement.”

SENIORS PLAN ANNUAL TRIP
A “1919 Camping Club,” composed of
the entire class, has been formed by the
Seniors, who are arranging to hold a
walking trip every year during the first
two weeks in September. The hikes will
begin next fall with a tramp through the
White Mountains. A Ford will be requi-
sitioned to carry supplies and provisions.
Each year the meeting place for the
next fall will be chosen, and a permanent
secretary will find out during the sum-
mer the names of those planning to take
the next trip.

of the war. Austria’s whole army was
According to Ludendorff, said Dr. Clark,
it was due to the Italian victory that
Germany gave up so soon, fearing to
meet'the Italian army as it came north.
Italy Should Get Adriatic Claims
The port of Fiume, which voted it
wanted to belong to Italy, would not be
an important addition for the Jugo-Slavs,
according to Dr. Clark, since they are
primarily agricultural people. If Italy
controlled Fiume, she would not, as some
people fear, prevent small states from
using the port, since Fiume’s success de-
pends on commerce from the inland,
British commercial companies, said Dr.
Clark, are a strong factor trying to keep
Fiume from Italy, because they fear
Italy will not give them favorable rates.
“Italy wants Albania to be independe
ent,” said Dr, Clark, ‘but wants to have
a naval harbor there for protection as
the United States has in Cuba. ;
Italy is not Machiavellian, but ingenu-
ous in her politics. She has been badly

More Ruined Villages Than Belri-m
The refugees of Italy, said Dr. Clark,
when he showed pictures of them, have
not received help as have those of other
countries because they will not carry
their woes abroad. Italy has more ruined
villages than Belgium, and almost as
many as France.
Slides of the ruins of Saloniki, which
was burned in 1917 and will not be re-
built until 1919, were explained by Dr.
Clark with the report that the Greek
government saw in the catastrophe an
opportunity to weed out the Spanish
Jews who formed most of the Saloniki
population before the war.

cially for them. K. Tyler, '19, played
the organ. Afterward Dr. Rogers prom-
ised the Senior class a service on May
