various parts of Islam.”
“The events of today are confirm
ing predictions which I made in our
interview of last winter. The allies
pursued their policy of carrying out
rotten treaties, the Moslems have
seen the Uhristjan thieves quarreling
over the war loot and now the final
stage in the great poker game has
been reached.
“The allies have been bluffing.
Turkey has called the bluff and the
allies must hack down.
“Veiled war between France and
England has been going on in Asia
Minor for months. Italy has played
both ends against the middle. The
l urk now has no respect or fear for
the western powers. The Moham
medan has seen that Christian
thieves cannot stick together.”
Stoddard went to a book-shelf and
took down a copy of his “New World
of Islam.”
“Listen to this quotation from a
speech by Lloyd George,” Stoddard
said. “On .Jan. 5, 1915, the British
prime minister made the following
declaration; ‘nor are we fighting to
deprive Turkey of its capital or of
the rich and renowned lands in
Thrace which are predominantly
Turkish, in race.'”
“That was the pledge of Lloyd
George. In that same year, when
allied, statesmen were talking about
self-determination,’ they were draw
ing up secret treaties dividing Tur
key among the allied powers.
“Now what is the situation? On
one side we have the quarreling
thieves. England, France and Italy
are split by dissention. On the oth
er side is Mustapha Kemal, shrewd
and able, and surrounding him a
body of capable men and women.
“One of the important factors in
Turk success has been Halide Han
um, feminist leader of the national-

“It is possible. If the nations of

Turkey as they are now doing and

they will drive Germany if France

“Neither Germany nor Turkey

MOULTRIE, Sept. 25.—The Geor

railroad, formerly the old Gulf Line,
is planning extensive improvements
in its road bed, rolling stock and ter
minal facilities at Camilla and Syl
vester. according to an announce
ment by J. N. Pidcock, of Moultrie,
president oi the road. Th ' line was
bought several months ago when it
was sold under a court order. The
company that took it over, was form
ed by the Pidcocks, of Moultrie, ami
its stockholders include leading busi
ness men in of the towns along
the line. Service over the road was
resumed in June and in the face of
the handicaps that has confronted
it the line:has done remarkably well,
the report submitted to a recent,
stockholders meeting revealed. it
is proposed to issue additional stock
in the sum of about $45,000, with
which to make the improvements,
if the Interstate Commerce Com
misison grants the necessary au
thority.
President Pidcock has announced
that t l, -re will be no difficulty ex
perienced in placing the new stock
jif the shareholders think such actiqn
advisable. In fact he and his asso
ciates here have agreed to take all of
the stock left after others interested
in the road buy what they want. The
road has a colse working
agreement with the Georgia North
ern, one of the most prosperous
short lines in the Southeast, which
also is controlled an chiefly owned
by the Pidcock brothers of this city.
