j. s. WOMAN REAL
RULER OF ARABIA
Former New York Society Lead
er Becomes Adviser to
Emir Feisal.
MORE POWER THAN CABINET
Resigns From American Red Cross
and Takes Up Work Among the
Arabs, to Which She Expects
to Devote Her Life.

Chicngo.-Six years ago Mrs. Anna
l.. Fisher was an ordinary American
woman. Her sole claim to distinction
lay In the fact that she was prominent
In society ip New York. where she re-
sided.
That was before the war. Today
Mrs. Fisher Is captain In the Ara
bian army and the power behind the
throne In the regime of Emir Feisal.
The story Of Mrs. Fishers sudden
rise Ia greater power in the Near East
Than Is exerted by the League
of Nations was brought to Chicago by
q. NJ. Newman, who met her while on
his recent tour of the Near East.
Mrs. Fisher. Interested In philan-
thropic work even before the war, EN-
listed early In the Red Cross for serv-
Ice In Armenia. There she came
In contact with the Arab, when Emir
Feisal. son of Hussein, king of Arabia,
raised great army and drove the
Turk from Armenia. The present
ruler of the Arabs Immediately be-
came Interested In this intelligent
American woman and sought her adj
vice on the many problems which con-
fronted him in his struggle to put
Arabia on firm basis.
More Power Than Cabinet.
II was not long before Mrs. Fisher
was possessed of more power than
any member of the cabinet. She re-
signed from the Red Cross and began
her work among the Arabs, to which
she expects to devote her life. Mrs.
Fisher was promoted to the full rank
Of captain In the Arabian army and
after the occupation of Damascus by
Feisal, Joined him In his new capital
She has since been his most intimate
adviser.
II was as result of Mrs. Fishers
advice that Feisal retreated to the
mountains when the French threat
ened Damascus with destruction and
later went to England to demand that
the promise made him during the war
that he was to be ruler Of the new
Arab kingdom be kept.
Mrs. Fishers ambition now Is to
aid In the reconstruction Of new
Arab kingdom.
outlines Her Plans,
II shall put q little Of the pep Of
the American in this land of the ORR
entail" she told Mr.. Newman. Their
ways are not our ways. Their way
Of thinking is not ours because they
have been handicapped by lack OF
EDUCATION. and by prejudice and super
stitian. Ipculcate into the minds OF
these people a little of the practical
common sense of our American wom-
en- and II viii astonish the world
what these Arabs will accomplish"
Mrs. Fisher has issued an edict to
Arab women to discard European dress
and return to the fashions OF their
own land. To accomplish this she has
established schools where Arab women
and girls are being taught to make
and embrOider dresses from material
made In their own country. She has
ordered the revival of silk and wool
to be used In making rugs and carpets.
