LAND OF COFFEE AND KHAT

Massacre Of Jews in Yemen
brings to a crisis an animosity that
has been brewing for many years
and already has led to considerable
emigration of Jews from southwest
Arabia 70 Palestine" says a bulletin
from the Washington, d. c. head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society.
In Yemen Jews suffered persecu-
tons of a peculiar sort. They could
erect no buildings more than w
! stories high. they were forbidden to
enter a town on horseback, and even
when meeting a Moslem on a country
road they had TO dlsmount in pass
ing him
Their worship was not prohibited
though they were permitted TO build
no synagogues or schools. OF Ye-
mems millions or more population
the Jews are believed to number at
least $4,000. They lived either in
towns Of their w or in quarters of
larger cities.
Coffee Trade Deserts Mocha
"Yemen's American fame rests
principally upon the familiar name
of an almost deserted city, Mocha,
through which coffee no longer
comes where debris cutters the
( streets, where only mosques remain
intact.
Coffee still is a major crop of Ye-
men, but it is exported principally
through Hodeida, and in even great
| er quantity via Alden, port of the
British protectorate to the south,
| which today is the commercial neck
OF the Red Sea bottle.
"Order coffee in Yemen, however, |
and you will not repeat the expert
ment. For the Arabians OF coffee
land prefer the husks to the berries,
and the brew therefrom has been
compared TO hot barley water. To
the occidental mind this connection
affords neither flavor o stimulus.
The Yemenite looks elsewhere for a
stimulant-to khat-a singular lit
tle-known leaf with a mighty men
tai kick which is used almost uni
versally in this region.
kllat is kola of Yemen Arab
what wine is to the European,

african, khst is to the Yemen Arab. r
"Khat is not a beverage, the fresh i
are chewed. In a land where q

which soothes but is less harmful

mountain paths with extremely small
loads. The donkey trail taps some
aravan route and then the grower
is faced by high charges plus risk
of marauders.
Bandits Stop Caravan Routes
I'm recent years the a|ttenuated
government of Yemen has been dis
turbed by bands of outlaws. Espe-
cially predatory are the Zaranih
tribesmen of the short beard and
crisp, black hair, whose d-epredations
have entirely suspended many car
routes.
1.-THE Moslem rulers dislike the
Jews. and many Arab tribes oppose
the regime of the Immam, whose
scepter is supposed to be descended,
in direct line, from F'atimah, dauGh-
ter of the Prophet. The Seyyids,
who hold they are descended from
Mohammed, believe the Immam to
be infallible and attribute to him
powers of divination. The south
Arabians, or tribesmen, hold him in
such religious v%eneration. They
are the most numerous element of
the population, and they go armed.
I'm the lowlands of Yemen these
semi-nomadic peoples raise tents
mating where the grazing and
water are good, and acquire no fur
niture which would hinder their
quick migration. Highland villages
are fortresses, standing frequently
a crest of bare rock, and lift for
tower ramparts.

fee as a valuable export. These, too,
