reason of the ferceness of it's warrior
population, 100000 Wahabites, armed
with modern weapons of war galloped
toward Mecca. They want the head
of the puppet king whom the British
are backing as Head of Islam in the
effort to divide the Faithful and dis
sipate the strength of United
Islam. - -~..- - g.
The success of the Wahabites
would mean the collapse of branch
Of English intrigue, for which several
hundred natives have been murdered
and many others thrown into Jail in
an effort at stern repression of
Moslem repugnance to alien rulers.
By setting up new "Head of Islam
who was a mere puppet in the hands
of the British, the latter had hoped
to abate the menace of an united up
rising Of Islam's hundreds of millions
of followers, from the Pacific islands
across Asia and Africa to the Allan
tic coast Of northern Africa. There
fore the chancellories of Europe are
i'll at ease at the failure of the Brit
ish intrigue end the challenge consti-
tuted in those 100000 Wahabites who
are rushing fearlessly to meet the
British forces and their puppet
Head of Islam" at Mecca, the hottest
of the Holy Cities Of the Moham-
medan Faith.
This fear of a. religious or racial
war. in which the colored races Of the
world would be pitted against the
now depleted and terribly weakened
white race. inspired Frances friendly
policy toward all Mussulmans and
her cultivation of the colored popula.
tion of her African empire.
