While awaiting transfer to a provincial
prison he accomplished wonderful feat
of agility, scaling the high walls bristling

cee1ed in stealing $50 from the till
while the landlady was In another room.
When she returned he had the eff
frontery to tell her that two customers
who had Just left had robbed the till.
Romeus offered to go to the police sta

At the station he gave name and
address which, owing to his manner. the
police set to work to verify by telephone.

but opened the wrong door and entered
the commissary's private ofice. where
he was secured. He gave himself away
by saying his name was Romeus.

According to trustworthy estimates.
more, than 10000 warriors Of the north

Touaregs, etc,-have risen against the
Italians in holy war.
The djihad. or holy war, Is not a volun-

that so markedly characterize the Moslem
in his attitude to questions and problems
of spiritual orsreligious nature.

sacred duties OF every Mohammedan. AS

Means Of Crushing Enemy.
The djihad is the Moslem's most for
midable tactic to crush his enemy. In
the first centuries Of Islam the Christian

more than one occasion. and the Cru
saders learned to dread 1t more than hum
