M0saism, is social status. of which the religious laws are ics civil laws, which regulate all hours, of civil life. Its lawyers, judges and chiefs are also its priests. Islamism comprises an in- visible empire linked together by an occult government to work for one ob- ject. to free themelves from foreign control and to found an invincible em- pire, temporal as well as spiritual. The occult government is exercised by the formidable Senoussiya brotherhood. which was created by the. father of the present Sheik Fl Senoussi, who sits in Djarboul weaving the destines of Is- lam. 'Mohammed Ben Ali ah senousssi was a shereef and 1ineal descendant of Fauna, the only daughter of Mo- hammed. He founded the order with preparing the way for the advent of the Mahdi. According to prophecy the time is at hand when the Mahdi should arise and lead the Moslem hosts to victory over all nations.~ He will be of high stature, his eyes must be blue and he must bear on his forehead an Arab letter similar to our capital J. It is a quaint fact that the father of the present. shereef of wazzan, Moroc- co, married fair-haired, blue-eyed English girl. and thereby secured for a son at least the signs looked for in the Mahdi.
 The Senoussiya is organized so as to absorb and contain all other broth erhoods. One of the first works Of the order was to buy up caravans of heather slaves far and near. These were taught Modhammedanism, then set free and sent back by thousands to their own land as missionaries of Mohammed. Their converts increased by millions.
 "Sheik Fl Seonussi in 1S40, excom- municated Mehemet Ali, the Khedive of Egypt, and afterward laid the same ban on Abdul Medjid, the Sultan of Turkey. His son. the present Sheik, excommunicated two following Sui tans, Abdul Aziz and Murad V. This treatment was intended to stigmatize the European or reforming tendencies Of those Sultans.
 "Jn the occult system of adminlstra- tion created by the Senoussi every governmental department, from the most complex to the simplest, is shad- owed in exactly the same district or territory by a complete, corresponding secret organization r2at taxes us UT ders from Sheik Fl Senoussi, who Is called the Sultan of Djarboul. The French administrations of Algerian Tunis are closely followed by their un. seen Senoussiya counterparts. behind the English governing bodies in Egypt and in the Moslem parts of India IS the coccult ruling of Sheik Fl Senous- si. In Turkey the government or s shesn t,,n Fl Senoussi is all powerful, and m the past has often been used against the Sublime Porte.
 "In 1886, by the advice of his spir- itual director, the Sheik Mohammed Djaffar, who is a fanaticai, energetic' member of the order. the present suI- tan, Abdul Hamid, joined that brother hood. and himself became a senoSss Sssn Since then all his actions nave Deeh framed to show himself worthy or the confidence of Sheik Fl Senoussi' who is sitting at Dparboul. ,
 .The world wonders what the Sul- tan's moves yNill be in the present CTS is. One might know and understano them could one read the minds or the great chief of the Senoussiva. IT ne savs Islam is ready the Sultan can un- furl the green flag of the Prophet, the Bariag Al Shereef."
 Europe May Find Crisis Acute.
 If will be seen from the foregoing that the Sultan is by no means free agent. Should he deliberately oppose the will of this great secret organiza ton of his subjects his life would not he worth a weeks purchase and he knows it. His answer to the Powers indicates the fixed purpose of Pan- Islam which is behind him and wnieh must inevitably dominate his acton. All indications are tkat Europe mas made a grave mistake in forcing tnis unnecessary crisis upon the world at this moment, ... .,..., ..,-s
 There have been grave rumors In the diplomatic world in the past few days regarding certain sinister features or the situation. It Is pointed out that Germany, which was most active Tn ere ating the crisis. withdrew from active part in the execution or the coercion noIicy. The diploment of the general Euronean situation in the past few weeks has left Germany again isolated.
 what better revenge, what better op- nortunfty could the Kaiser have for again upsetting European adjustments than by opening the whole Turklsh question at this inopportune momentE
 Serious misgivings have arisen in the British and other foreign offices in the last day or two over the embarrassing dilemma created by the Sultan's recall citrant attitude. The Powers have so far committed themselves that retreat is almost impossible. The combined fleet has sailed and if its first action fails to bring the Sultan to terms the sItuation will be one of appalling dam ger and difficulty. The problem which will then likely arise will be how to saye the Christian population of Con- stantinople, for Abdul Hamid's threat of a massacre is no empty one as the Powers we'll know.
 On the other hand. if the Sultan once more gives way 1t will mean that Pan Islam is not yet quite ready for the in- avitable life and death struggle with inc Christian world. But what future Situation can it hope for that will be so full of advantage to itself as that which A deluded European diplomacy haa niaced at Is disposal?
