Mecca Is Kept Clean

Arabia is so remote from us that we
think of it only in terms Of legend
and vet the Kingdom of Hejaz is being
governed by a modern cabinet. Mecca
is rapidly being civilized, and under
the new regime, an observer reports, it
is kent Immediately clean. A news
paper. "Al Kibla,' Is being published
there. Schools are being established
and the latent intellect Of the Arab is
rapidly being awakened to new life.
In the fighting against tbs Turks a
number of Arabian aviators participant
cd. The machines we're doubtless sup
plied to the new kingdom by the
French.
The kernel Of a reunited Arabian
state is therefore already in existence.
The occupation Of Bagdad by the Brit
isb paved a way for the consolidation
n tho various sections Of Arabia.
"Our armies do not come into your
cities or lands" read the British
proclamation to the population OF
Baedad. "as conquerors or enemies
but rs iberators.' In the present in
tcrnational condition there can be no
doubt that Britain will not seek to an
mex Bacdad Indeed. she will help the
Arabs Of Hejaz realize their claim to
Nesopotamia.

Affected by World Movement

This remarkable document may DC
considered the beginning Of the Young
Arabian movement. The nationalistic
wave that swept the world in the last
quarter of the nineteenth century thus
affected Arabia along with the other
slumbering or subjugated nationalitics.
According TO the originators of the
Arabian movement, the new state would
contain So per cent Moslems. They
would solve the religious difficulty
By making Hejaz, the seat Of Mecca
autonomous under the leadership Of a
Caliph.
Up to the entry Of Turkey into the
war Arabian nationalism was more the
oretical than practical. 1t had never
been put TO n test, and the big world
never took It seriously, if it noticed 1t
at all. The students Of Arabia never
believed that a national movement
could take root in the slumbering Arab
race. The different tribes never ceased
to war against one another, being ap-
parently entirely void Of any national
sentiments. The Arabian mind was de-
clared unfit for discipline. The religious
factor was pointed TO as the fountain
head of endless dissension IN case
Of an anti-Turkish nationalist move
ment. Finally, the divisions Of the
Arabs we're too numerous and too di-
verse to justify the probability of
successful Arabian national rising.

eager crowd collecting. She called her supervisor ana
asked that blanks be sent to her Immediately.
Supervisors yoice the telephone:
First let me read you your Instructions
Captain perhaps little impdtiently:
I've read my instructions; in fact, have them IN
printed form.
Supervisors roice severely:
Let me read you your Instructions This census
must be taken in a thoroughly military manner Your
instructions are these: Be loyal and take your work
seriously.
AS nothing beyond this excellent advice emanated
from the supervisors office, the captain sent to Suffrage
Headquarters and got her supplies.

ARABIA

Hejaz and Mesopotamia, for the first
time IN history, found ground for
mutual and cooperative work In their
national cause. In 1895 a group OF
advanced Arabs, forming themselves IN
Paris into the Arabian National Com
mittee, set forth in manifesto their
aims as follows:
"The Arabs are awakened to their
historical, national and autographed
homogeneousness, and aim to separate
themselves from the Ottoman body and
form an Independent state. This new
Arabian state will be confined TO its
natural boundaries-irom the Tigris
and Euphrates to the Suez Canal, and
from the Mediterranean TO the Sea OF
Oman. 1t will be governed by a lib
eral constitutional monarchy Of ar
Arabian sultan"
