Col. T. e. Lawrence Resigns as Ad-
wiser in Arab Affairs.

Col. T. f. Lawrence, who has Just
resigned as adviser on Arab affairs to
the British colonial office, has been
called 'the uncrowned king of Ara

He is only thirty-two years old, hut

Emir Feisul (now king Of Irak), com
mander in chief Of the Arab army and
son of the king Of Hedjaz.
Colonel Lawrence was so highly es-
teemed that he was treated as
sheriff and given the additional rank
Of emir, or prince. He adopted the
dress and speech Of the Arabs-an
easy task, for shortly after leaving
Oxford he became an expert on Arabia
and gained an intimate knowledge
of MeSopOtamia.
To Colonel Lawrence more than to
any other man was due the revolt Of
the king Of Hedjaz against the Turks.

that the Turks offered an enormous
reward for the capture of its organ
