This mullah told him that a great many Mohammedans taught that the span of humanity was divided into eight periods, each with its prophet. The first six were Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mahomet. Then came Abd Allah over whom there was much controversy, and now came word from Mohammedan Russia that Lenin had been declared the prophet of the eighth period whose spiritual substitute in Africa is Abd elKrim who is to begin a holy war to separate the faithful from the unbelievers. ALL PEOPLE TO BE FREE In the conversation which ensued this mullah said he thought the time had come when all peoples of the world were to be free to live their own lives according to their particular faith and laws. The Mohammedans throughout the world would assert their natural prominence in the world, refusing to recognize the dictum of the white races that the colored races are a dying people. He spoke of the "fire which lights our spiritual life" which the unfaithful refused to realize. MOSLEM VIEW OF CHRISTIANS Before the conversation ended the Moslem gave his opinion of Christian nations, which isjntensely interesting as coming from one on the outside. He said: "The white men have in their Holy Writ the principle of love for their fellow-men, but this has remained only in writing. Verily, what are you doing among yourselves in your own countries? You drown your soil in blood, you perpetrate hideous crimes, you kill the divine spirit in your fighting for gold, for luxury, and for power over other peoples. Each nation ought to live according to the law which Allah gave to it, a law that resides in the soul. One nation ought to help another and not persecute it. Your faith has J At- . . 1 . . urmeu away irom me precepts oi me rropnei aissa, as ine strong in your land persecute the Wank, the Jen dominate the poor and your scholars despise the illiterate. In your country every man is the enemy of every other; every man is compelled by the conditions of life to struggle interminably -for existence and therefore each envies the other, eeing in him a competitor, an enemy, a persecutor. Nothing unites you, neither a common faith, rigid morals nor science. These states are as a building made without cement, with no binding,power between the individual stones that compose them. You have ravaged one another in a war which has terrified the nonrChristianworld with its unimaginable crimes, its cruelty and its blind madness. The fabric of your states has been rent asunder, families and societies have been broken up, and you cannot rise up to indulge again in the madness of strife." TREATMENT OF COLORED RACES Speaking of the treatment of colored races, the Mullah continued: "You. came to the colored peoples with words of simulated love and what have you done? You have regarded and used us not as men but as cattle, necessary to the accomplishment of your aims. You thought that you could do what you wished with us, could take from us our lands and the result of our toil, could change our customs and faith so as to be able to make of us slaves, without rights and obedient to you, because we were weak, hungry! illiterate and consequently powerless in the face of your science your carbines and your cannon. But we also have our science, a spiritual science, while yours is that of material." The scholar went on to say that if Christian nations did not change their .point of view he did not think any individual or ganization throughout Moslem countries would have power enough to staythe explosion among the followers of the Prophet. nhe, waiter of the book argued wUhthe mullah that he had seen no persecution and that the people of Africa' might' well share in European civilization. In reply the African used this arraignment: "You are for us of an alien temperament as your spirit becomes the slave of the body and the feeling of divine justice has been transformed in you into something that will explain ..and justify your crimes. Riches have been made the aim of your life, gold your god. You gain wealth by the hands of slaves, forcing them into silence, humility and toil for you alone. Your quarrels, wars and mutual deceits have stripped the mask from the Christian face, your lips have uttered false words of love, and your hands launch deadly arrow and forge chains. You are unwilling to realize that the time has come when the great spirit of liberty moves from one end of the earth to the other, visiting each house.

A BOOK ABOUT ALFRED SMITH .Man Likely to be Candidate for President on Democratic Ticket Subject of Volume BREAKS WITH TAMMANY Defends Self as "Baby Killer" and ii, i.f,r..i. Eaitiiiveiy at Hearst NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Had !t not been for the enmity of WUliam Randolph Hearst, who goaded him into his first gestures of independence and caused him in 1923, to defy Tammany Hall, Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York might still be known solely as an organization politician. Sueh. at least. Is the theory offered in "Alfred e. smith, a cmical Study." by Henry E. Pringle, published here recently. This, the first critical biography of the man who la now probably the lead Ing candidate for the Democratic Pre sidential nomination, Is expected to cause a certain amount of irrtatiori among 'the strategists who are' working for Smith. It goes in detail Into the New York governor's prohibition record and declares that until almost 1915 he waa a Tammany Hall henchman" in tne New York State Legislature at Albany. It revealed that lie has been a consltent wen but that lately he has listened to his advisers who have point ed out the danger of losing the South unless this part of his record Is for gotten. Consequently he has had little to say. In recent years, on this trouble some subject. ABLE EXECUTIVE On the other hand, Governor Smith Is described as an extraordinarily able executive, a man with great capacities tor nara wont ana one who has mas-! tered the intricate problems of New i York State government better, perhapt than any other governor In history j Mr Pringle, while expressing no vlewl at to whether Smith is qualified forj the presidency, remarks that he has in the past ehown himself capable of great growth. He is now the dominant figure in Tammany Hall and no longer Is forced to obey the commands of the organization. "When did Al Smith begin to look slightly askance-, at the practical leaders of Tammany and -turn Instead to other minds?" writes Mr. Pringle in referring to the break with Hearst. "I offer the theory that it would never have happened at all had not a newspaper owner called blm a 'baby killer' and so inflamed the Irish sentimentality that la part of him. It was William Randolph Hearst who aroused hli emotions to the point where he forgot both expediency and practical politics- j ! and thereby was practical beyond the dimmest dream of hit part for himself 'li must be a depressing though) to Mr Haarst, as i. ai., u. tuulatn of hie CaJatarnla ranch l renecta thai hi aaate no longer u of political oost-srquene In New York, to know that partial credit Is his for the ascendancy of Alfred E.
