Medjid Dons Mantle
Of .Caliph Without
Ancient Splendor
First Commander of Mussul-
mans, Without Temporal
Power, Attends Ceremony
Wearing Civilian Clothing

CoNSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 24 (By
The Associated Press prince Abdul
Medjid Effendi became supreme Caliph
Of the Moslems to-day.
He was invested with the sacred
mantle Of the Prophet Mahomet In the
famous Topcapou Palace, overlooking
the Golden Horn. The ceremonies were
singularly devoid of the regal splendor
| and impressiveness which marked the
elevation of his imperial predecessor,
and appeared to excite only moderate
enthusiasm and interest.
He is the thirty eighth successor TO
Mahomet in the House of Osman, and
the first Turkish Caliph without tenn
poral power. His elevation to the
Caliphate gives him the title of Com
mander of all the Mussulmans and
Defender of the Faith.
The most picturesque features of
the ceremonies, which we're attended
by enormous crowds of Nationalist
Turks, were the handing over to the
Caliph by a delegation from Angora
| OF the Beard of the Prophet and DE
stowal upon him of the Prophets
sword and green flag. The flag signifies
the. power of the Caliph to declare
Holy War.
Special Prayer Offered
After the transfer of the relics Of
che Prophet, Mahometan dignitar:es
wearing picturesque medieval robes
ana huge green turbans offered spe-
ciat prayer, in which the princes, min
listers and favored Moslem personages
joined fervently.
AT the conclusion of the ceremonies
which were marked by the absence of
the members Of the old regime, Rafet
Pasha felicitated the Caliph upon his
elevation. The entire party then pro-
ceeded by automobile to$the Mosque of
Mahomet the Conquerer, where Abdul
MedJid mounted the imperial throne,
surrounded by the highest Church dig
nltaries and courtiers. Prayers were
SAID giorifyiug the Caliph and invoking
the blessings of Allah upon him and
the Turkish people. For the first time
IN history the prayers were said in
Turkish instead of in the usual Arabic.
This was intended as a symbol of the
national unity which now binds the
Turkish nation, and also as an indica-
tion that the Arabs no longer form g.
part of the Turkish Empire.
Dressed in Civilian Attire
Dressed in ordinary civilian attire,
with the conventional red fez, Abdul
Medjid presented strikingly demo
cratic figure as he ascended the golden
throne in the Mosque of Mahomet the
Conqueror. Tickets for the ceremony
had been given out literally, and a
number of Americans, including Vice
Admiral Long, were among the specta-
tors. No foreign government was off,
cially represented.
The cheers of the populace in honor
of their new Caliph were punctuated
by salutes fired with artillery lent by
the Allied military forces for the occa-
sion.
lnvestiture of the Caliph was fol-
lowed by the usual Friday selamlik, or
prayer service, in which a large part
OF the populace participated. The
Galiph and his attendants then re-
turned to the palace on the Bosporus.

Count Szeehenyi Arrives
Count Laszlo Szechenyi, husband of
the former Gladys Vanderbilt and Min
ister from Hungary TO the United
States, also arrived ON the ship. He
declared that while political affairs in
his country had improved the same
could not be said of the economic con-
ditions, which he considered s'lnuch
worse. He added that Hungary faces
serious winter because of the lack
of coal and wood and that there will
be q shortage of crops due to the eariy
drought and succeeding wet spells Of
the last year. He said he was disap
pointed to find that American relief to
the Hungarian children had been
stepped. He went to Washington last
night to join the countess and his four
daughters there.
Others arriving On the Mauretania
included the. Rt. Hon. Lord Romilly,
now twenty-three years old, who served
with the bombing squad Of the Cold
stream Guards during the war as a
second lieutenant and was a page at
the coronation of King George y in

the liquor 60 the designated spots for
concealment or distribution.
The increased difficulties which will
probably exist in Massachusetts,, where
the Presidents advisers have been told
there will be no state enforcement law
Whatever as result of the recent ref
erendum, were discussed. There was
sone curiosity as to what would hap
pen in New York, as In Administration
circles the belief has been rather gem
orally accepted hat it was resentment
against prohibition which accounted
at least partially for the Smith tidal
wave in the upstate cities.
The President was told, for example,
that poll conducted in Rochester last
summer had shown the town to be
about nine to one against the present
Volstead act. Rochester mot only
rolled up big majority for Smith, but
sent Democrat to the House Of Rep
resentatives for the first time In politi-
cal memory here.
Frank admission was made after the
Cabinet meeting that the Preside at
does not know what to do about the
situation. He made IL clear at the
Cabinet meeting that he stands square-
ly FOR law enforcement and is willing.
If ne can be shown how to make IL ef-
fective, TO throw the whole force Of the
government behind law enforcement.
But there was no dispute in the Cab
met meeting that the case is not one
IN which mere drive for law enforce
ment will actually serve effectuaIly.
The President talked with his ad-
visers at some length about the prob
able effect OF an earnest appeal 70 the
country on high moral grounds, with
the picture of what is happening 70 the
morals OF the men and women of the
next generation as result Of the pres
ent debauchery painted in sharp cosors.
Fear 1t Would BE Futile
Fear was expressed that while such
| an appeal would be generally hailed by
ail OF the drys and a few scattered vets
as sound and convincing effort, those
VINO are now engaged in violating che
law and encouraging its violation
would merely shrug their shoulders and
keep up the Illicit business as usual.
While no admission could be obtained
at the White House with respect Co amy
modification of the present prohibition
law, several of the Cabinet members,
who were present to-day, hold the very
pronounced conviction that no relief
from the present law violations and
graft would be had until the present
Federal enforcement act Is modified.
Leaders in Congress, however, in
ciuding some who have always been
wet, assert most positively that any
amendment of the Volstead act 10 not
on the political cards, and that 1t will
be simply impossible, for years to come
TO muster enough votes--especiaily In
the. Senate--to bring about any modifi
cation of the present limit of one.half
| of one per cent alcohol.
