lectures on current topics
BY members of history CLUB
Wednesday evening, March 12th,
the History Club met in the Living
Iloom of the Alice Clevi^ell Building.
The program had been arranged in
Accordance with the policy of the
society to hold at least one student
Meeting during the year, and five
club members talked for fifteen
minutes each on topics of current
interest. Without question, the dis
cussions were profitable and in
teresting, demonstrating as well the
native abilitj^ of the speakers in the
field of oratory. Mary Oettinger,
Kinston, North Carolina; Helen
Ford, Knoxville, Tennessee; Eloise
Willis, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Eliza
beth Tyler, Bristol, Tennessee, and
*'Iiriam Brietz, Selma, N. C., pre
sented the subjects chosen for re
sume.
Tiis Kemal Movement in
New Turkey /
Mary Oettinger summarized the
‘aovements which had been started
jluring recent years to modernize
Turkey, and carried the situation
through to the present time.
In 1908, appeared the first signs
dissatisfaction with the old order
things, and it was in this same
)car that a definite movement was
Organized, which resulted in the
deposition of the ruling Sultan. A
tew j'ears later, Germany, quick to
•lote the disrepute into which the
Reforming party had fallen because
of wholesale corruption, eagerly
Seized on the chance presented her
^nd planned to enter Turkey. With
‘nis idea in mind, she constructed a
^ilroad from Berlin to Bagdad,
^hus, on account of German in
fluence in Turkey, the allied victory
1918 affected the later country
as well.
Continued attacks from the
||i-eeks were in part responsible for
unsettled condition of affairs,
|he invasions lasting even after the
eginning of the Kemal movement
1918. Acting without foreign in-
crference, the new nationalist cam-
I^aign progressed, and in 1920 call
ed a council at Lausanne, Switzer-
®nd, to effect some sort of settle
ment between the Allies and the
Urks. The Turks were backed by
‘‘>e Russian government. The first
^eeting was held on November
0th, and lasted only seventeen
*^inutes, which were spent in ar-
fanging the preliminary details. At
^«e next session, on the day follow-
**>g, the Pasha argued vainly for
Concessions to his country, and Tur
key lost on every single point.
The capture of the city of
•nyrna was discussed from various
’**igles, with details of the whole-
®ale ruin and destruction occurring
®t the time; and the question was
J*iised as to whom the responsibility
Or the deed might be attributed,
^le entrance of Kemal into the
^^ty, at all events, spelled progress,
phools were established, manu-
^ctures quickened and encouraged,
'^omen discarded veils and began
'^tatnor for greater equality—all
'''idence that the entire social and
^conomie order was giving way to
*e new regime.
A. definite treaty between the
'^tlies and Turks was signed at the
!®eond meeting of the council at
^ausanne, in July, 1922, but there
no very strong hope among
orcign nations that the Far East
erners will remain quiet. The ex
isting condition is probably due,
more than anything else, to inter
mingling of races and continued
western interference.
At the present time, Turkey is
anxious to control Constantinople.
The United States has not yet rati
fied the treaty; but if she does, tht^
world which has for so long mixed
in Turkish affairs will give that
country an opportunitj"^ of showing
that it is capable of running its own
affairs without the aid of foreigners.
The Little Entente
Beginning with a definition of the
Little Entente, describing the na
tions which were joined in such an
alliance, Eloise Willis spoke briefly
on its previous action and future
possibilities, describing its impor
tance as an international factor
along various lines.
Tlio Little Entente is an alliance
formed in 1920 and 1921 between
the Slavic nations of Czechoslovakia,
Jugoslavia, and lloumania. Since its
beginning it has had a three fold
aim, the establishment and main
tenance of peace; security and nor
mal economic conditions in Central
Europe, defensive efforts against
all attempts at reaction menacing
the existence of the new states.
Before the war in 1914, the
Slavic states of Europe were either
under big governments or were
weak, individual states. In the for
mer case, there was little popular
voice in the government and the
plain peoples under Austro-Hmi-
garian domination were over-ruled
and restricted as to franchise. With
the end of the war came the down
fall of the Austria-Hungary and a
re-assuring of the Slavic peoples,
with the result that several small,
independent nations were formed.
Czechoslovakia is a repblic with a
population of thirteen million, and
is composed of the counties of
Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Slovakia,
and Ruthcnia. It is rick in resources
and a wonderfully productive- land
whose chief products are coal, iron,
and petroleum. Jugoslavia is a
kingdom — the kingdom of the
Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, with
an area of ninety six thousand
square miles and a population of
over twelve million. The third mem
ber of t!ie league, the still smaller
kingdom of lloumania, is divided
principally into Old Roumania,
Bessarabia, and Transylvania. Its
present king is Ferdinand I.
As to action, the Little Entente
has not shown itself slow nor be-
hind-times. Its efforts very definite
ly helped to frustrate the attempts
of Charles of Hapsburg to regain
his throne; and since the admission
of Hiingary to the League of Na
tions in 1922, her small neighbors
have anxiously watched her every
movement. Much has been done to
wards strengthening friendship with
trance, and an alliance with that
country is being sought. Such an
alliance may prove a valuable asset
to France in case of war, because of
the rich food and munition supplies
from the fields and factories of the
smaller nations. The recognition of
tJie Soviet Government of Russia is
another important step of the
allied nations, and along with this
is a definite plea for the adhesion

SECOND LENTEN TALK
BY BISHOP RONDTHALER
At the Expanded Chapel Service
on last Wednesday morning, Bishop
Rondthaler delivered his second
talk for the season of Lent. The
Crusaders’ Hymn—which is, per
haps, the oldest song found in the
Office of Worship—fittingly opened
the service.
By way of review. Bishop Rond
thaler mentioned the circumstances
attending Jesus’ stay at the home
of Zaecheus. The parable of the
wealthy nobleman was told—how
the man, who returned to be
crowned king of his land, had re
warded his three servants according
to their abilities. To everyone is
given a “pound” which sets forth
the opportunity of a Christian life.
It is, therefore, the duty of each
one to stand for Jesus, and to per
suade others to use their oppor
tunities. “Now is our time for
opportunity,” Bishop urged.
The lecture described Christ’s
journey to Jerusalem. Before He
came into Jericho, Christ met the
blind man. As Bartimeus, the man
who had been blind from infancy,
sat on a stone near the public road,
he heard a multitude draw near.
Here he had sat for days, and had
begged alms of those who happened
his way; but on this particular day,
Bartimeus was unusually interested
in those who were approaching him.
He had heard all about Christ, and
believed that He could cure him of
his physical impediment. By the
aid of a friendly hand, Bartimeus
was led before Christ. The blind
man in his rags, his misery and his
darkness thus stood before the One
possessing grace, divine compassion
and heavenly power. And Bartimeus,
because of his faith, received sight.
Bishop Rondthaler explained that
there was a blindness far graver
than the physical blindness—it is
tne blindness of heart in regard to
Jesus Christ. There are those who
disregard His grace. His mercy,
and do not see Him as their Savior.
The prayer, led by Dr. Rond
thaler, was followed by a closing
hymn. To all those who attended
this unusually impressive service
there appeared, in a stronger sense,
the undeniable sweetness of such a
Lenten service.
CAPTAIN AND BASKET BALL
GAMES PLAYED BY ACADEMY
Great interest has been shown in
basket-ball and captain-ball in the
Academy this year. The games
were played Monday afternoon, on
the indoor court before a large
crowd of enthusiastic rooters who

to win. The senior girls over
whelmed the tenth grade in a thrill
ing contest, scoring fifteen points to
the undergraduates’ eight. Thus
the winning senior team played the
ninth grade. When the massacre was

did on Thursday evening at the
annual banquet given in honor of
the basket-ball and captain-ball
teams. The decorations were very
suggestive of Easter. In the center
of every table were lovely ferns,
with a huge basket of tulips on the
senior table. Streamers of the pastel
shades were hung from the different
corners of the room, and were sus
pended from each light.

CAMPAIGN BEGUN FOR
DR. BARNARDO HOMES
There have been many drives and
campaigns in Salem College, but
none other has had the strong ap
peal that the campaign for the
Bardardo Homes has. This is a
cause in which everyone is greatly
interested. Several months ago the
Y. W. C. A. members of Salem
College had the privilege of hearing
Mr. Stephens lecture on his work in
the Barnardo Homes. He told of the
founding of these homes to rescure,
support, and train homeless chil
dren. Everyone was extremely in
terested in Mr. Stephen’s great
work then, and it was with keen
enthusiasm that they welcomed him
back to Salem on Thursday morn
ing. He made a short talk in
Chapel, telling of the work and the
need for everyone to co-operate in
the cause of caring for homeless
children.
On the following morning Mis.s
Effie Bentham, honorary secretary
of the fund, spoke. She told many
interesting incidents concerning the
children for whom they cared. She
also spoke of the success of a num
ber of the boys and girls who had
been trained in the Barnardo
Homes. There are one hundred and
fifty-six Barnardo Homes, and for
nearly sixty years no destitute child
has been turned away. The children
trained, and, educated, and taught
trades and professions in these
wonderful homes are sent out all
over the world.
Mr. Stephen and Miss Bentham
paved th(^ way for the campaign
which began on March the twelfth
and will last a week. Lucile Reid is
the capable chairman of the drive.
There is no doubt that Salem Col
lege will arise to the need, and
gladly lend a helping hand to this
worthy cause.
APPRECIATION
The Senior Class wishes to ex
press its appreciation of the ser
vices rendered by Mr. Burrage and
Mr. Talley in the production of
their play, “Mr. Pim Passes By.”
Edith Hunt, President.
