SHEIK GREATER THAN SULTAN
No Appeal From the Religious Head
of the Mohammedans.

The Shelk-ul-Islam, who has just
proclaimed a holy war against the al
lies who are attacking Turkey, is the
religious head of all Mohammedans.
In his religious authority he has been
likened to the pope Of the Catholic
church, holding ecclesiastical sway
over his coreligionists everywhere in
the world. In his official position in
the Ottoman empire his rank resem-
bles in many ways that Of the arch
bishop of Canterbury in the British
empire. His most dreaded power is
that of proclaiming holy, war, which
might arouse the Moslems of British
India, and Egypt, French North Afri-
