party which. for three years, has been Sc
cretly at work throughout the world.
Monograph copies of a call to arms were
issued by the thousand from the headquar-
tiers Of the secrat council or junta not far

I was informed by its president, has on it's
rolls $4,000 men in this country alone who
are willing to fight to free Syria from the
rule of the sultan Of Turkey.

con Childs, Dr. MackaySmith, Mr.. w. A.
