THE DECLINE OF ISLAM.
Mohammedanism is being pushed to
wall and no longer is an authority on
religion, particularly in Turkey, but in
other Moslem lands as well.
Mustapha Kemal, the present ruler
of Turkey, has dealt Mohammedanism
a terrible blow by abolishing the Ca
liphate, that highest church dignity
formerly held by the sultans, and by
repudiating the Koran as the legal
code of the country. This together
with the spread of foreign literature
antagonistic to the faith, has played
havoc with Mohammedan prestige in
Turkey, Egypt, Arabia, India and Af
rica.
If, as Mr. Chirgwin believes, Mo
hammedanism is on the point of col
lapse, th enext few years may see the
disintegration of one of the most pow
erful religions and political forces
which have influenced the world.
Founded by Mohammed, an illiter
ate, epileptic sheep-herder and camel
driver, the era of Islam dates from 622
A. D., when with about 150 followers
he fled from Mecca to escape perse
cution and settled in Medina, where
his real power arose.
His epileptic tendencies brought on
visions whereby he professed to have
received revelations from God at va- «
rious times, these communications be- —
ing later incorporated in the Koran.
After the death of his first wife he
took ten other wives, many concubines
and female slaves into his household.
He exercised both temporal and
spiritual authority, waged war with
the cruelty common to that period,
and partok more of the character of
a conqueror and statesman than of
that of a prophet. His own sincerity
of belief in his divine mission, espe
cially during his later life, has been
seriously questioned.
Yet the movement he founded had
within 100 years after his death be
come a serious menace to Christian
ity until checked by the victory of
Charles Martel near Tours in 732,
while today the adherants of Moham
medanism number about 234,000,000.
Like Christianity, Mohammedanism
is divided into many denominations or
sects, of which the Sunnites and the
Schiites are the most numerous.

Visitors Miss Many Field Baskets—
Are Group of Flashy, speedy
Young Players.
The Seward aggregation of basket
ball players smothered the visiting
Anchorage high school yesterday af
ternoon in the first game of a three
game series played at the S. A. C.
gym, by the long score of 32 to 12. It
was a case of strangers in a strange
land, and the acurate shooting and
team work by the locals, which brot
about the downfall of the swift light
weights from the Inlet metropolis.
Some thought the Seward five were
too heavy in comparison with their
opponents but the general opinion
was not so. The pigskin was prac
tically hovering about the locals net
as much as the opposite one; but the
Seward quintet made their baskets
from every angle whereas the visi
tors appeared to be very much off
their “feed” missing the net innu
merable times. It was a fine game
to watch and a large crowd, which
filled the hall, enjoyed every minute of
it from the first silvery blast of the
timekeepers whistle to the last mo
ment of play.
The old fighting spirit was on the
surface at all times; Seward endeav
ored to roll up an ever increasing
score while Anchorage courageously,
with perspiration glittering in great
“gobs” fought cleverly ecery move of
the pigskin. The fans applauded
and encouraged with as much gusto
the points made by the visitors as they
did with outbursts of enthusiasm for
their own team.
Capt. McEwan was the point getter
for the locals, throwing five field
goals; Johnson, Roberts, and Tinkler
for Seward, each made three field
baskets; Johnson also making one
point from the foul line; Chya, Sew
ard right guard came thru with one
field throw and one from the foiil line.
For the visitors Vallear lead his
team mates in baskets annexing three
and one point from the foul line; Ek
right guard for Anchorage, made a
field basket and a foul line point;
Brayford, who took Romig’s place in
the last half, delivered one field bas
ket to help the cause along.
Following the first three minutes of
play Tinkler started the fireworks
when he threw the first field basket.
From that point on baskets were made
at frequent intervals of not more than
three minutes apart at any time, by
both sides, the first half ending by
the score of 21 to 5 in favor of the lo
cal aggregation. During this half
Vallear threw two baskets in succes
sion; McEwan did likewise, twice at
intervals, but “Nip” Johnson topped
them with his foul line throw and two
consecutive baskets all in a row. For
Anchorage Vallear made the only field
shots putting two neatly thru the
web. Ek made a foul line throw in
this half. For Seward during the first
half, field baskets were thrown by
the following: Tinkler, 1; Chya, 1;
Roberts, 2; McEwan, 4; Johnson 2,
and one foul line point.
In the Second half Seward ran the
score up eleven points more while An
chorage added seven to their string.
Field baskets by the Inlet chaps dur
ing this half were made as follows:
Vallear 1, Brayford 1, Ek 1; the only
foul line throws were made by Val
lear. For the locals Tinkler made two
baskets, Roberts 1, McEwan 1 and
Johnson 1. Chya made the only foul
line throw for Seward in the last half.
During the first period two minutes
of time was called after fifteen min
utes of play to permit the visitors to
come up for air. No time was called
in the last half, both teams swinging
thru to a furious finish. Twenty min
ute halfs were played with a ten min
ute rest interval. The game started
at 2:37 p. m. Guy D. Barnett acted
