Arabic Revolution Is
Wars Dramatic Event
Nrom the london ObserYarl

kHInU Inc AOuuDn OVoHA VIII
BY far the most dramatic event of last
week, and one that may demand extended
notice at another time, is the Arabic reYo-
luton in the religious center Of Islam. The
grand sheriff Of Mecca, supported by power
full tribes in the west and center of the
peninsula, has cast on Turkish misg0vern-
ment and proclaimed independence. Mecca
and Taft have been captured. Medina is
closely besieged. Jeddah has been taken
and that at least is in secure touch with
the sea. The news Of this event will thrill
through the whole Moslem world. Heavy
as are the tasks on the hands Of the Turks
elsewhere, they win endeavor to send up
reinforcements by the Heiaz railway and
will strain every nerve to recover their
domination of the Holy places. Meanwhile
in Mesopotamia the Shah MoslemE have
risen against the Turks and the latter have
shelled the sacred shrines of Kerbsla and
Nejef.
These reyolts have a twOfold cause. To
the Arahic-speaking world the Turkish gnse
has always been a foreign oppression,
superior in force but Inferior In civilization,
Enver Pasha is said to have caused the
execution and imprisonment Of Arab lead
ers after his recent mysterious journeys be
tween Aleppo and Mecca. Again, 1t Is real
lied far and wide, especially since the loss
of Erzerum, that German ascendeney, act
ing through the freethilNdng Camarilla OF
the Young Turks, threatens the true Telig-
ious independence and spiritual exercise OF
the Caliphate itself, and has already brought
untold evils on Islam. We ,npel net point
out that in face of this new turn II eyents
in the Middle East everything ma Fepend
upon the manner in which the statesns shin
and power of Britain are brought 10 ~
Of our responsibilities. We have shen 4
upon one Of the most critical and delicate
that economic and political factors in the
Near East are OF vital significance as col
lateral Of accelerating the course Of the war
towards a victorious issue. TIL question
raised in the Middle East by the Arabic
revolution presents moral opportunities
which, il used with the irmness and discreet

STANDS PAT ON swlNNEY

Pennington Times-Hustler: The action
of our county teachers in placing the name
of ]. L. G. Sw1nney before the Democratic
party for state superintendent Of schools is
both proper and timely, Hon. A.. N. White
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Swinney
has done more to build up a school spirit in
his county than any other superintendent in
the state, we believe. The teachers have
felt the effect of this more directly than
others and it is but natural they should like
to see the same spirit carried out over the
state. We are with the teachers and for
Swinney, though we would hate to see him
leave the work in our county. But we are
willing to make that sacrifice for the good
we believe it would bring to the state.
Swinney as state superintendent would
mean a new school spirit for New Mexico.

Herr Won Tittmouse Got
Point Very First Thing

Field Marshal Herr Won Tittmouse, Of
HillsboTo, the Kaiser's right bower in New
Mexico, has a keen sense Of humor. A re-
cent Associated Press story had the British
naively stating that henceforth the laws of
nations, not the Declaration of London,
would govern the allies. This seemed so
startling 1t was put In the headline. With
his usual alertness, Won 4. saw the point In
just a few hours. To be sure that we didn't
miss it, he addressed the following to the
Jab Department:
Hillsboro. New Mexico.
July 18th, 1915.
Sir Jab Editor, Bart.
%H. B. M, New Mexican,
Santa BE, N. M,
Dear Sir Jab:
Permit me to offer you my hearty con-
gratulations ON the splendid headline which
you committed on the 9th inst. No cleverer
way to describe the inteptions of the Allies
has been employed, even by such experts
In the art as the New York Herald and the
New York World.
l refer to the headline which read:
GREAT BRITAIN AND
ALLIES TO FOLLOW
LAWS OF NATIONS
- "a
NEW ORDER IN COUNCIL
VOIDS DECLARATION OF
LONDON
] do sincerely trust that this brilliant
headline was not merely q sly lab in the
Allied Solar Plexus. OF course, you know
that the Declaration of London was in
tended to supply the International Prize
Court, established at the second Hague
conference, with a RECOGNIZED CODE.
In declaring that the Allies are to Fol
low the Laws OF Nations and at the same
time Abandon the Declaration of London,
you have In a few supreme words paid our
great defenders Of Liberty and Of the, dur
ing war at least, Interchangeable and immu-
table Rules of International Law the most
eloquent tribute that any Poet Laureate
could conceive Of.
Yours very truly,
EDWARD D. TITTMAN.
IF Nav says it's so, it's so, whether it's
so or not, the small boy said. Won T. holds
that no matter how many structures on the
allies appear in this paper, they don't ap-
pear, because he doesn't wish to see them.
Perhaps no comment on Won TBS latest
Kultur outbreak is needed further than to
say we sincerely hope his government at
Berlin will decide to follow the excellent
and praiseworthy example Of the allies.
