and Syria in 1917 and 1918.

alone n the prince undertook the gov
ernment of Syria from the ancient city.
Inc prince considers the whole peninsula
Of the Arabs as the rightful heritage Of
ms fathers government and as the
kkingdom OF Arabia that must arise out
of the world conflict.
And Ennir Feisul sat in the peace
conference as the representative of
HedJaz and the insistent advocate of
a great Arabian state. When the grand
shereef of Mecca declared against the
Turks In 1915, made one with the cause
of the allies, he seemed to confine his
claim to the Turkish Red sea provinces;
but, supported by a strong na~tionalistic
movement among the Arab tribes, once
kept apart by keen jealousies and bit
ter enmity his successor and his sons
encompassed all the country in their
ambitions.
Arabia is a great peninsula four times
the size Of France and more than 20
times the size Of the state of New
York. A great part of this vast table,
land is a waste and sullen desert inN
capable of reclamation. Its southern
coasts are baked under an intolerable
sun, and from Basra, on the Persian
gulf, through 1000 miles to Port Said,
on Suez and the Mediterranean, there
is hardly a suitable inlet or harbor.
Some stretches of the coastland and
smiling and fertile places and might,
with modern means, be made places OF
happy, progressive settlement.
And the young prince who may be
destined to make Mecca the seal of a
great ~caliphate, a Mohammedan cap
ital again recognized as a center OF
forces important to the worlds life, has
made him many friends in his essay at
European diplomacy and particularly
has he addressed himself to the friend
ship of America.
A tall, slender. affable, black bearded
man, with the dark complexion of the
Sicilian, he appears to those who have
had him under their observation to
bring an abundance of energy with him
for the task of building the Arab state
Of his and his fathers ambitions.

new SCHEME PLANNED
TO BEAT HUN TAXES

BERLIN, Nov. ia brand new way
has been found to beat the new Err
berger taxes, and a German nobleman
who served throughout the war as a
cavalry captain is the one who has
made the discovery. 1t is very simple
y simply spend all your money be-
fore the taxes fall due.
The baron. of ancient family, whom
the correspondent has known for years,
telling of his plan, seemed not to care
who heard him, for he spoke in a loud
voice. He was Immediately clad in a
new suit that probably cost 1000 marks,
and wore a new pair of shoes that Ber-
Inns most famous bootmaker would
make for 500 marks,
THAT suit is just about the finest
thing that can be bought or made in
Germany" said the baron. And what
is more, I have several of them; All

keep me for the next five years.

made, and nine more pairs. | never had
so many shoes In my life, but I've got

erything else in accordance. New
shirts, socks, underwear-the best
money can buy. l haven't spared q
mark, because ] am going to get rid
of all / possess before the first of jan
uary, when l have to make my tax
declaration"
The baron then continued to tell OF
having gone from Berlin to Cologne,
from Cologne to Frankfort, from there
to another city, and finally back to Ber-
lin, to avoid the tax collector. The
agent had caught the baron finally in
Berlin, had served him with the Legal
\ papers, making 1t necessary to make a
tax declaration within three months. Sc
the baron began to see whether he could
use his fortune up before that time.
He declared that he had served
through the war and had given up his
comfort, many marks for uniforms and
had had in general q wretched four OF
five years. He had no intention, he
said, of making further sacrifices. He
was going to be "broke" by Jan. 1, and
then should go to America and make a
new fortune.

the same thing, but stuffing themselves

ception when he got there. He has
