 States, Attorney Mortimer, it is reported. will be on hand to contend that the governors position does not make him immune from arrest and that warrants issued against Small should be served.

MOSQUE BUILT
BY EX-KAISER
STILL REMAINS

Wuensdorf, Germany.-A remind
er of the time when the former
Emperor William attempted to pose
as a leader in the Moslem world.
remains here in the form of a Mo-
hammedan mosque, which was
erected by the kaiser in the first
years Of the world war. Eight hun
dred orthodox adherents Of the
teachings of the Koran regularly
worship in it.
1t is the only mosque in Ger
many and. William II built it for
the benefit Of the Cossack and
Kirghis Tartar war prisoners who
were captured while serving with
the Russians and French. An in
ternment camp surrounds it. Under
the law Of the Koran, the mosque
must never be destroyed.
There has been considerable crit
icism Of the former emperor for
having erected it and for the pres
ent government for maintaining it.
In reply, the officials declare it is
their duty to give the interned
Tartars an opportunity to worship
according to the dictates Of their
faith. They point out that de-
struction OF the mosque would be q
serious offense in the eyes OF all
Mohammedans.
