MOSLEM REVIVAL IS SLRIPTURAL < . k , Ruler Says American People Have Wrong Impression of His Countrymen?-Denies They ^re Religious ? ' . Fanatics. "We arc witnessing today a revival . of spirit throughout the Moslem world. But It is a spiritual revival rather than a temporal. Europe and America have nothing to fear from it. It does not menace Western oivllv laation." It was the Caliph of the Moslem world, the Turkish Sultan, who made that statement to rnc in an audience a few'mornings ago. writes Charles i. . Mere In the New rone wur.u. The new Sultan is a recluse. To arrange an audience has become a difficult undertaking. The Sultan lives t . in a palace,known as Dolma Bagtche, on a hill above the Bosporus. He seldom leaves its grounds. His own officials find it difficult to see him. And for foreigners, since the pub# lication of the treaty that cut Turkej into five parts and left her only one of them the Sultan has withdrawn still further into his seclusion. Receives Writer in Mosque. Nevertheless, he consented to receive me, and to receive me in the holiest of all Moslem places and at the holiest of all Moslem hours?prayerhour in a mosque. I am told that for a foreigner this is the first time the present Sultan has appointed such a rendezvous. Ho does not read i ne World. But he is interested in th? American public. "And 1 welcome tne fact that I am receiving you in n mosque," he told me, "because it will throw light upon the charge that the Turks arc fanatics in all that concerns their religion." It happened to be a mosquo because the day was Friday. Ever since the days of Bagdad's glory the Caliph of the Moslem world has gone publicly to prayer once a weak, on. Friday. This is known as the "Selamlik." f There was a time when The Sultans chose a new mosque for the ceremony every week. The choice is wide, i There are 500 mosques in Constant! IlOJHt". But Abdul Hamid, whoeo stormy rule cam? to an end in 1908, and who feared assassination varied the formula so as to permit his going every week to the same mosque?and that inside his 'own imperial gardens. His li il"i successors have followed this example. To a mosque just below the Dolma Jjlagtche palace, sheltered by the same V',tA protecting wall, went Sultan Moham'med VI, at high noon today for prayer. Troops Lined Road. , , i,. v., It was not the Impressive ceremony it U3ed to be. in the old days when Turkey's Sultan had a dozen barracks full of soldiers at his disposal. But it l was a spectacular occasion, for all f . .'that. Six or seven hundred troops 31 eon/I f Vin t nnrtrorl I1IICU lUC f, 1 tl > '?U nuv? vu? ? vv. down through the gardens from the 'x- palace gate and ended at the tall x white mosque. Some of them were field troops, in uniforms of dirty gray; others were imperial guards, well pnounted, wttl. uniforms of polished gold and scarlet, and pennants flying fi-om their lance tips. Through the lane they formed for him the Sultan drove to worship. t There would come a blare from a battery of brass trumpets; then a sfort staccato cheer. Another blare, and an answer from the wilting .troops. At the mosque his short drive ended. "You are great, O Sire!" called the guardian of tho temple from his platform high above the gate. , "But 1here is one still greater. And Allah is his name." Into the mosque, with the Sultan leading, filed those of us who had come as spectators of this Moslem ceremony. i>oi lip me nuiian s steps, or into the main body of the mosque, but through an entrance at the side that brought us to a gallery. From a window barred with a heavy.screen we had a bird's-eye picture of the mosque it3elf; a square room, car, . pets on the floor, a crowd that num i. i * hpre<l ragged paupers as well as great gentlemen and soldiers, sitting on their heels and swaying to the rhythmic chant of the Koran. Stayed in Special Prayer Room. The Sultan was not with these peo' pie. Another heavy screen, cut in the wall opposite, marked the window ol his own prayer room. It was to that chamber, half way through the hour's prayer, that I went to see the Sultan when he sent for me. ? Neither from any picture I had seen of liim in the windows of the city's shops, nor from any preconf oeived notion of what n Sultan oughl to look like, had formed an accurate idea of the man I was to see. ^ He is a bent man, much older thar his pictures suggest. His face is ?nU/v?. 1i nrts? t t Vt i-nn H -1 i Ir OTVfl , that are thickest at the outer comers of a pair of restless eyes. As he talks ho stops to catch his breath occasionally in short half-exhausted gasps. Hi looks tired, anxious, ill. ^ He was standing when I entered th< screened chamber of the mosque. H< v wore, I think, the plainest costume V have ever seen upon the ruler of i 4 state. It was a gray alpaca uniform j, cut like an American cadet's?witl buttons on the inside, underneath i flop. He hod one Turkish army deco i ration at his throat, dull gold eraulet on his shoulders; but the only spot of color in his costume were broai 4 i * fed trouser-stripes, and a brown furr; fez upon his head.

He leaned forward as lie talked. When a word wouldn't coin'4 when ho want- j ed It, he reached for it in the air with t a forefinger and a thumb. What he talked about, I suppose, j was what any sovereign harassed by I half a dozen different difficulties and j under compulsion to make the best of. a worst that was very bad might have ; talked about to a strange repprter. I suggested various political issues in the Near East. But the Sultan did not talk politics. The theme of what he said was that his country and its people had been sadly misrepresented in the West. It was in pursuance of this idea that he sti ssed the spiritual cuai - | acter of what unity there is ip Islam, i as distinguished from any union as a ! force in politics. I mentioned India and Egypt It did not surprise him, ' he said, that throughout the Moslem ' world there were demonstrations of' loyalty to the Caliphate?that is, to I the institution of the -Caliph himself as the spiritual leader of .a church. ; Temporal Affairs Different. But spiritual and temporal affairs ! ought not to bo confused, he said, j And so far as the former' were con- | cerned, he implied that what the West ; calls "fervor" in its own case it often calls "fanaticism" when it Is looking toward the East. "Time will demon I strtrte that there naa ueen muni uuaI representation. And time will cxonj orate my people of the many accusaI tions brought against them," he said. He talked of his pe?>ple and their hopes?..ereened there in his chamber of the Dolma llagtche mosque from | the prayers and troops and trumpets all about him. It was not an inappropriate setting Tt seemed aimost right. For around this passive figure centre many things, more active and more troublesome than prayers and troops and trumpets.

And there i is the epochal danger, for the Sultan, of secessionist movements inside his own church?such as one led by the < Sheik of Mecca?challenging1 his authority as Islam's Caliph.

When Crops Were Really Short, While the cotton crop and the corn crop in tlic Sharon community in going to be mighty short this fall, It could be a lot worse and really people haven't a great deal to worry about, according to John L. Rainey, popular Bullock's Creek township citizen. "Fifty-six years ago," said Mr. Rainey, who was in reminiscent mood the other day, "we had a short crop sure enough. I well remember, because it was in 1866 that I started to farming. i worked mree norses inai year ana i made five little measly baJes.of cotton ind a similarly small quantity of corn nnd other produce. It was a dry year, rind nobody ih this section the country made anything hardly. Right after the war too, when times were sure enough hard. Climbing up the years to 1899, I recall that the cotton crop was mighty short that year also, because of drouth and generally unfavorable conditions. Therefore I say that while the crop prospect is not so good people have little to worry about when some of the cj-op years gone by are recalled." Cheaper to Buy Flour. Ralph Cain, teacher and farmer and unsuccessful candidate for probate Judge of Yoric county in the August primary, whoi isn't at all sore about it, has a problem on his hands. On eight acres of land this year Mr. Cain made 81 bushels of wheat. He would like to cat bread of his own raising, but he can sell the wheat for more money than it would take to buy a quantity of flour equal in amount to what his own wheat will produce. He is rather of the opinion that he will continue to eat flour rhado from wheat grown in ' orne other section. iti> The southern pine forests since 1900 have supplied more than DO per cent, of the soft wood used in America.

In .addition, there are several measures since requested by President Harding or cabinet officials under him, or urged by congressional blocs speaking for large sections of tho country. The most important of these concern: Constitutional amendment permitting the Federal and state governments to tax securities that are now exempt from taxation, urged by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. A more elastic system of rural crcaus, urgea uy uic iarm mw. Corrupt Practices Act that would compel senators and representatives to make public their expenditures in both primaries and elections. Further reclamation of waste lands in the West, advocated by a larger section of the farm bloc. Leasing of Muscle Shoals, advocated by the farm bicc. The blocs are threatening to work in force for the measures they are sponsoring when congress reassembles. Their first drive is to be directed at revision of the house rules to mnke it impossible for leaders to block legislation through the constituted Rules Committee of the House or the Steering Committee in the Republican political organization in that body. Members of the farm bloc, angered because President Harding vetoed the bonus, have told colleagues that they would not defend the Republican Ad- j ministration this fall. Instead, they i will rely on what they tried to do to retain the confidence of constituents and get rc-elcctcd. Mary's |rj Old Sweetheart I By JUSTIN WENTWOOD Copyright. 1922, Western New?pap?r Union. At forty Mary Rochester was the Jolllest spinster alive. She lived In an uptown flat, went to work every day. was manager of a large department of a large corporation, and drew a salary of $80 a week. Also, she kept a cat and a parrot. "For goodness' sake, Mary, why . don't you get married?" her friends would say. "Thanks, but I haven't found the man yet who's a good substitute for eighty dollars a week," Mary would answer, laughing. And nobody would have guessed that Mnry Rochester had ever had a love affair. Nevertheless, there were hours of loneliness when she remembered certain bygone days. The setting was the seashore. Mary was twenty-three, less plump, more I willowy, and the young man who had , his arm round her wns tall and slim and dark, and had expressive brown eyes. "For ever and ever, sweetheart." "For ever and ever." Ah, well, they had drifted apart, and he had gone west and forgotten her. And perhaps It had all been for the best. Then Mary would come out of her trance nnd laugh, and tickle the cat's ears, to his Indignation, and tease the parrot with a peanut. Then, one day, she got a letter that set her heart beating the minute she saw the well-remembered writing upon the envelope. It was from James. He had done well oat west, jie wrote, auu was returning east for a visit. He wondered whether she was married, and whether she had quite forgotten him. He had never married, he added. Mary Rochester hesitated for several days, and then wrote that she hadn't forgotten him, and that she would be very pleased to see him, but not at her flat, as she lived alone. He replied, making an appointment to meet her at a hotel, and have supper with her. Afterward they would go to the opera or the theater, as she preferred. There was a touch of sentimentality in his note that made Mary answer in quite a formal manner. She would never have recognized the man In evening dress who was waiting for her. Where was the slim figure of yore? Where were the expressive brown eyes? Gone!?and In their place the rotund body of middle age, and the eyes were clouded with the passage of years. They sat down at a table, and he told her his life story during the meal. He was manager of a motor-car concern, had made tons of money, and was thinking of retiring. Perhaps he would not go back. "Do you remember that evening at j the beach?" he asked, touching her hand. She withdrew it gently. "Yes," she answered. She laughed. "A girl doesn't j forget her first proposal," she said. "Nor her last?" asked James. She felt herself reddening. She did nnf irnnw what to do or sav. There ' was a touch of the grotesque In this encounter. But?oh, those illusions that she had cherished, deep down in her breast, as middle-aged spinsters will! "I suppose I'm no beauty myself," she reflected, surveying herself In the mirror. They went to the theater and he saw her home in a taxi. He became sentimental. He had always been that, but sentimentality sits so much better upon a boy than on a middle-aged man. "I've had my adventures, Mary," he said, "but deep down In my heart there was always the memory of those days with you. 'For ever and ever.' Do you remember?" "No," answered Mary sharply. As the taxi turned Into her street he took her hand in his. "Mary, will you come back with me?" he asked. "I want a wife, I want to settle down, and we'll hit It off all right together. I want you to come back with me on Saturday." Yet she hesitated. After all, It was her lnst chance, ana almost anyming Is better than spinsterhood. For a few moments the struggle was anguish. Then the taxi stopped at her door. "Good gracious, didn't I tell you I'm engaged?" she cried. "No. I'm afraid I can't, under the circumstances, can I? But I'm so glad to have seen you again, James. Good-by!" In the desert of lost Illusions Mary wandered that evening. '\e sat very still, thinking. Then she put the mem-, ories of James clean out of her mind. "It's better to have loved and lost than to have married the wrong man," said Mary. Mlaouw! said the cat, rubbing its head ugainst her knees. "My goodness,' did I forget your milk?" asked Mary.
