Arabs in MOsul Rebel against

Hangers of Air Forces Are Burned, Is
Report-Charged British Bomb
TOtUns TO Collect Taxes.

The Mosul question is not one of
oil, il is insisted here, where a sec
tion of the press charges that the
propaganda in this sense Is traceable
to certain American oil interests.
This denial, however. is not accepted
by French writer's, who assert that
Great Britain's whole object in the
Lausanne negotiations is to secure
the oil field rights already specified
In various treaties and to guarantee
their strategic security and peaceful
exploitation by means of an Anglo
Turkish agreement.
The story goes that when the
European powers were busy making
claims against Turkey which then
seemed to be moribund, Clemenceau,
In a careless mood, handed over
Mosui to the British because he had
never heard of il, and this may be
accountable for the French soreness.
The British claim that Ii would be
just as feasible to safeguard the
British oil undertakings under Tur-
key as under the native kingdom and
that the reasons for the British in
terest in Mosul are quite different. 1t
is conceded that Mosul is racially not
Turkish. the inhabitants having twice
voted against inclusion under the
Turkish state, Great Britain being
bound up by the treaty not to ALLEVIATE
the territory.
Furnishes Grain TO Bagdad.
+ While the British contend, on the
one hand. that Mosul is of no value
whatever, to an unaggreSsivc Turkey
confined within Turkish racial limits.
on the other hand il is indispensable
to Mesopotamia, of which il forms an
integral part. Most of the grain
which feeds Bagdad is grown there
and Bagdad strategically is indefen-
sible without MOsul.
The latter contention certainly Is
sound and the British would be un-
given up. An influential section OF
the British press. however, is de-
manding the evacuation of the whole
country except a small area near the
Persian gulf. Premier Bonar Law
himself. said in connection with both
Mesopotamia and Palestine:
Il wish to heaven we had never
gone there"
The point is that the British wan,
to clear out in their own time and
not in the Turks time. and back OF
their attitude is undoubtedly the fear
of the spread of bolshevik influence
to India. The Turks. however, are
standing out firmly for the possession
say about oil, the Turks are certainly
Influenced by the idea of playing of
powers one against another for the
matter of concessions. thus gaining
the funds they badly need.
The situation is not eaSed from the
British point of view by the fact that
the disagreement at the Paris CON
ference is bound to react unfavorably
on the French support of the British
resistance to the Turks claims al
Lausanne.

LONDON, January 6. - Coincident
with the deadlock and the near rup-
ture between the British and Turks
at Lausanne over the future of Mosul
comes the news from Angora of an
uprising of Arabs in the disputed OIL
bearing district against the British
mandatory rule.
Hangars of the British air force in
Mosul were burned by the rebels. ac-
cording to the Angora story. This re-
port was denied in official circles here.
1t Is not denied that there is a great
deal of disorder in the northern Meso-
potamian province.
Series of UprIsinEs.
The history of the British occupa-
tion since 1918 TO date is a record of
repeated uprisings and their suppress
sion. There was fierce uprising last
summer in northern Mosul. in which
the Turks and Kurds combined in the
attempt to establish an independent
government. On this occasion puni-
tive columns were sent against the
insurgents by British. which had to
withdraw after suffering serious
losses
This condition of a more or less
suppressed rebellion is not peculiar
to the Mosul district, but extends
through the whole of Mesopotamia
though the British are able to main
tain a better hold on the country
farther south.
AngOra'S special reference in con-
nection with the new uprising to the
attack on the hangers may be IN
tended to serve propagandiSt pur-
poses. for the air force is not exactly
the most popular arm of the British
power in Mesopotamia.
Bombing Regular Routine.
According to Sir PerciVaI Philipps
an independent and well known jour
naliSt, who was sent out to make a
special investigation of conditions
there, the bombing of villages from
the air is more or less regular rou-
, tine for the collection of taxes from
the tribesmen. The country enjoys
the same brand of independence as
does Egypt or Cuba, Great Britain
having elected to exercise a mandate
from the league of nations through
the native ruler, instead of directly
but. as a matter of fact, Kin Feisars
power depends entirely upon British
bayonets and bombers.
The relations between Great Britain
and Mesopotamia are regulated by a
treaty concluded with the native gov
ernment. and the terms of this treaty
is one of Lord Curzon's main argu-
ments in resisting the claim of the
Turks to Mosul at Lausanne.

MINING AGAIN UNDER WAY.
First Coal Since Riots Loaded Into
Cars at Herrin.

MARION. ILL.,, January 6.-An echo
of the killing of twenty-three men in
the Herrin riots came when the first
coal mined since the tragedy last June
poured down the red clay embankments
into the waiting cars.
Amidst charred fragments of the
burned mine Office and sight of the
twisted, rust-covered remains of three
switch engines wrecked by the mob.
groups of miners went unconcernedly
about their tasks.
From between two great mounds of
earth, a monster steam shovel uncov-
vered the coal on the spot where the
non-union workers had surrendered on
June % and from which twenty of them
had been led forth to their deaths.
After months consumed in repairing
the wreckage wrought during the riots,
the mine, then the property of the
Southern Illinois Coal Company, but
now known as the Caloric: Coal Com
pany, was again in full operation, little
remaining to tell of tragedy of which it
had been the scene.
