minion Of the United States, Ranks
Second as Most Excellent Pc.
tentate in Moslem Land.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY few realized
recently when Germany threatened to
stir up the Mohammedans of the world
against the allies that the second most
exalted potentate of Moslem lands is
protege of the stars and stripes.
According to tables of precedence
approved at Mecca the sovereign rank
ing next to the sultan of Turkey is
the sultan of Jolo.
The tactful American army officer
lets the sultan of Jolo retain all his
string of titles including that of Over
lord of the United States" but his real
power is almost nil over the $4,000
Moros in the Philippines. He is al
lowed, to be exact, the powers of JUS
tice of the peace of NAHUM, in the
southern Philippines.
But by Mohammedan law he is yet
the religious and political guide of mil
lions Of Moslems in Siam, Johor, the
Federated Malay States, Malacca,
Penang, Singapore, Java, Sumatra
BOrneO. Celebes, Mindanao and other
islands of the East Indies.
Nothing could illustrate better the
lack of unity in the Mohammedan
tribes and nations and the decadence
of the Moslem world in a political
sense from the time of the conQuests
of the Saracens and the Turks.
The ancestors of the sultan of Jolo
for centuries controlled and led nu-
merOus pirate fleets that harried the
Asiatic coast from Hindustan to Ton
quin. They converted by the sword
the inhabitants of the East Indies
to the faith of Islam. On these serv-
ices the sultans of JOlO received rank
freely accorded to the present sui
tan on his pilgrimage to Mecca-only
second to the commander of the faith.
full.
If the sultan at Constantinople
should proclaim jehad or holy war
through the Sheik-ul-Islam, the sui
tan of Jolo would probably consult
some American second lieutenant on
the subject and then COLL a cigarette
and discreetly retire to the depth of
his harem.
This brings us to the question-hOw
much Mehemed v of Turkey could as
sist the German emperor.
Despite the reduction of his domin-
ions in Europe by the Balkan wars,
the sultan could put more than mil

tain money and equipment He could
compel Russia to defend its trans-Cau-
casian possessions and could trouble
Great Britain on the Egyptian border.
But the threat to incite the immense
Moslem population of Asia and Africa
to rise against Great Britain, France
and Russia should not be alarming.
There are about '2S3 100000 Moham-
medans, comprising one-seventh of
the worlds population.
OF these 100000 are under the
British rule in Africa, Asia and the
East Indies; 100000 (if We count
Morocco) owe allegiance to France;
and 100000 are in Russian poses
sions. The only independent Moham-
medan countries beside Turkey are
Persia and the Wahabi tribes of
Arabia.
The Ottoman Empire has 20,000,00O
inhabitants, but not all are NOLAN
medans.
Also, in many parts Of Arabia his
authority is reduced to constant
effort to defeat flying bands of rebels.
Theoretically the Sultan requests
the Sheik-ul-Islam, the highest Mo
hammedan church dignitary, to pro-
claim a holy war against the intidels.
Then the hosts of Islam gather around
the standard at Constantinople and
launch themselves against the infidels
But this is the year 1914, not CSC
nor yet 1853. There are now no less
than seventy-three Mohammedan
sects. And never did Arian and Ath

" Bulletins


There is no red tape around our
method of repairing telephone
troubles and correcting faults in
the service. When a report of
trouble is made to us it goes imme-
diately to the proper department
and the investigation begins at
once. The equipment, that is the
subscribers line from the switch
board to the telephone instrument,
is thoroughly tested. and if neces-
sary, is inspected personally by a
competent man. We have delicate
instruments on the dashboard that
show the nature of a trouble and
indicate it's location.
Oftentimes the trouble is in a
cable or in telephone instrument
and is of an involved nature. In
such cases it is necessary to send a
man out ON the trouble. This re-
quires more or less time and we
realize that there is likely to be an
unfortunate appearance of delay

other boys last Friday and while none
Of his companions can recall having
