DESCENDANT OF MOHAMMED

A descendant of Mohammed and
a prince of Islam, Sayid M. Wajib Zeid-

pines-in which capacity as Moham-
medan high priest in the United States
for our far eastern possessions he Is
promoting good will of all Moslems
toward the government of the United
States-has been visiting in Washing
ton.
Sayid Effendi, the princely title
given to him by right and courtesy, is
on his way around the world back to
the Philippines. He comes with a
record of accomplishment during the
few months of his chieftainship over
Moslem Philippines. He brought to
end the so-called holy war against
Christians and Christian government;
he has inculcated religious and racial
tolerance, teaching new Mohamme-
dan creed of the brotherhood of man
strange to the fierce, fanatic and re-
bellious Moro tribes.
