The Arabian Revolt.

The uprising In Arabia against the
Ottoman rule which has been reported
from Cairo IS not unexpected. The
dissatisfaction OF the Arabs, v~arlously
manifested on several occasions since
the establishment Of the Young Turk
regime, has been growing, and there
has recently been reported great &C.
tivity Of British and Russian agents
among some Of the more powerful
Arabian tribes.
Ottoman rulers have had reason
ever since the wane Of their power
to mlstrust the loyalty Of the people
Of the desert to the empire. The
Arabs have never looked upon the
Turks as the true guardians Of Is
lam or the Sultans at Constantine.
pie as the head OF MohammednnIsm.
Mecca to them was the heart Of the
Moslcm world. and the restoration
of the cnliphate to this holy city has
been their greatest ambition.
1t Is thus but natural that the Arabs
should take advantage OF the pres
cnt war TO throw of an allegiance
that they have hated and to seek
their independence. There Is no hope
for them In "A German power coop.
Grating with the Turks: but there IL
II chance for the restoration Of TEN.
poral power in the success Of Russia
and Great Britain. the two Govern.
men,s under which lives the greatest
Moslem population Of the world.
There Is, of course, no proof that
either of these nations has made
any overtures. But ut the same
time 1t i evident that in their pres.
ent campaigns IN the Euphrates and
in Asia Minor the Russians and the
British could hope for no greater as.
Sistancc than the active MD of the
Arabs against their enemy.
Against the success of the revolt
l. The fact that the Turks. who must
have been aware of the di~safYectinn.
are able Ia send against the revolu-
.'innlrics Il considerable army, and
also that III" Arabs have 81 long been
torn by internal tribal strifes TINT

secure. But II revolution that may
