.REPORTSOF TROUBLE
BREWING IN TR|POL|
Senussi Reported To Be In
Revolt Against Italians
AN INTERESTING SECT
With Headquarters in Hinterland OF
Tripoli Fanatical Belief Has Spread
All Over Northern Africa-Pres-
ent Leader an Able Executive

Constantinople, September 14-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-Asioe
from the more important theatres OF
warfare. interest has been aroused mere
in a reported uprising Of the Senussi, the
Arabic order of the Mohammedans IN
northern Africa, with the hope of estap-
fishing an independent state in the ltal-
ian Province Of Tripoli.
1t is a little over 50 years ago that the
man who was better known as the Sheik-
Senussi went into the hinterland OF I'll
poll to promote a schismatic Moham-
media nism of which he himself was the
author. The religious circles at Mecca
and Medina, to whom the reformer In
question had stated his views on the
Moslem religion had not taken kindly
to them Senussi was an Arab to the
core and as such resented the ascendency
of the Turks in the temporal affairs OF q
faith of which an Arab, Mohammed, was
the prophet.
In the hinterland of Tripoli, Senussi en-
countered conditions that were favorable
to the spread of a religious reform move
ment. The Arabs, Berbers and Neeros
of the arid stretches in what was then
still a Turkish satrapy, gathered about
truths he had to announce. In very lit
tie time, Senussi had become Sheik
Senussi, and Menzel-ul-Keir his capitai:
Over the main entrance of the Senussl
temple in that city, Sheik Senussi caused
the following words to be painted:
Turks and Christians: l will destroy
them both in single day.
Sentence Still Visible
That legend is said to be still visible,
and it is certain that it's spirit is still
force among the Senussi-the term
identify ing fully 50 per cent of all Moham-
medans in Tripoli, Tumis, Algeria, eastern
Morocco, and the Sudan. Contrary TO
popular belief the words Senussi is not
a tribal name, but the designation of a
sort of secret order. With the death OF
the first Sheik Senussi. his reform lost
much of it's militancy. The founder OF
the cult. II such it may be termed, never
aspirea to temporal power, but his sue
cessor. the present Sheik Senussi. proved
to be more of a politician some even
saw statesman, than religious leader,
with the result that Senussism became
a political, rather than spiritual force.
1t seems. however, according to informa-
ton obtained here. that the order OF the
Senussi is far from having abandoned
altogether the percepts and example of
its founder. No north African Mussul-
man will directly admit that he is a
Senussi, but that he belongs to the order
may be learned from his attitude while
at prayer in the Mosque. While the
regular follower of Mohammed. during
the parts of his prayer delivered in a
standing position, permits his arms to
hang motionless at his sides. the Senussi
crosses his arms over his breast and
grips with his right hand the left wrist

Shame of Shadeless Streets

FROM the Bridgeport Telegram.
A real good hot summer day brings
home to Bridgeport the shame of
shadeless streets. In this case 1t Is a
burning shame. and no mistake. We
wonder what administration will develop
the foresight and public spirit to take
the steps necessary at the present for
the assuring of shade trees for the fu-
ture.
Shade trees add to the value Of prop
erty. They help to keep the city cool
in summer They conserve public health
and comfort. They please the eye and
are one of the greatest factors in the
identification of city. People have an
instructive appreciation of trees-all the
world knows that New Haven Is city
of elms, and the most famous street In
Germany is Inter den Linden" Poets
have rhapsodized over trees. and Handel
wrote his famous Largo in celebration
of a plane tree which afforded grateful
shade to the composer. And the prac-
teal advantages of trees are equal to
the aesthetic advantages. But it is I'M
necessary to cite these facts. because
practically everybody agrees What is
needed is the taking of definite steps to
assure shade trees in the future and to
counteract the lack of such provision
in the past.
