Pasha Of jerusalem with his retinue Of civil and
military officials, at that time gathered the Be-
douins Of the region, and gave them presents and,
with great pomp. read message from the Sultan.
As part of the ceremonies many OF the Bedoun
boys brought together to receive presents of
clothing etc. and to be circumcsed But a re-
port was started that this would mark them for
being taken soldiers later and they fed from
the proposed rite.
These new government stations and the at
tempts Of the officials to ingratate themselves
with the Bedouins hitherto not subject to the gov.
eminent, were in pursuance Of policy adopted by
the Consantnople authorities about 20 years since
looking to breaking up the old nomadlc and inde
pendent life and habits of these sons OF Ishmael
The plan was to get the Bedoun youth into a
special government school for them at CONSTANT
nople, to confer titles and give presents to the
chiefs to gradually push forward among the tribes
the line which marked the limit OF the authority
of the government, and finally to disarm and enroll
them with view to military service and tax-evy-
ing. However but little has been accomplished
along these lines.
The building OF the Mecca railway which was
hoped would forward the government policy has,
instead led to complications and conflict. The
road has had to be constantly patroed by mounted
troops for the Bedouins have been all along greatly
opposed to It, especially because 1t deprived them
of the very considerable business they had in hir-
Ing their camels to carry pilgrims and their bag.

a similar result are admission OF air
through positively controlled valves

In many carbureters made for auto

purpose being to maintain the level Of

In a flying machine this seems hard.

Much excitement caused in Jerusalem by

that Sami Pasha. who has recently succeeded in
suppressing the Druse rebellion In the Horan, has

The large Bedouin population Of Palestine and
the region through which the Mecca railway

Adwan and the Benz Sukher, have been brought

been occupied by a garrison, and likewise the Be-

he discontinued the payment OF the allowances"
This led the Bedouns to attack the railway sta

south.
The troubles at Karak were precipitated by an
attempt OF the government to enroll the Bedouins
and disarm them. This applied not only to the
Nomadic tribes but to the towns people and viii
layers many of whom Christians. An incident
illustrative Of how this operates occurred the other
day at Es Salt, the other side of the Jordan. A
member Of n wealthy Christian family OF the town
was in the fields with some of his men, AS usual
and necessary in this parts, he armed. A
Turkish officer with few soldiers attempted to
disarm him and take his rife resulting In his
shooting and killing the officer. and in he and his
er was apprehended and taken to Damascus.
II seems premature to attempt to disarm the
people Of these towns and villages that are ex-
posed to the attacks OF the Bedouin and in seek
ing TO do so the government is facing a difficulty
with which II will be hard to cope
1t is thought the government will be able TO
put down the present uprising without much de-
lay. 1t Is most unlikely that the disturbances will
extend far beyond their present area.
