When opponents of the League of
Nations desired to make that world
federation ridiculous they asked
whether it were right that Hedjaz
Zone of the recognized nations of the
league) should rank with the great
nations of the world. Hedjaz is lit
tie region situated upon the shore of
the Red Sea, at the edge of the great
Ara bian Desert.
A few months since the news that
Hussein, King of Hedjas Claiming
to be a direct descendant from the
prophet Mohammed, through his
daughter Fatima). had declared him
self the new caliph of the Moslem
world. after the former caliph, Sui
tan Abdul Medjid of Turkey, has been
deposed by the New Turks. bore as
much weight in the minds of the gen
eral American reader as the entry OF
the Grand Poo-Bah upon the stage
of opera comique. Now King Hussein
has been driven to abdicate his
throne in favor of his son. Emir Ali.
The young king, however, declines
the caliphate. The Moslem world,
therefore, is today without pope"
and must await a conference of the
faithful for the purpose Of electing
true descendant of Mohammed to
head the faith.
Behind these events of the last
fortnight there lies more romance
and more of a world movement than
could be found in any other single
development during or since the war.
To grasp the largeness of this ro-
nance let 1t be known that the en-
tire Arabian peninsula is the field.
and that the peninsula Is larger than
the British Isles, the Netherlands,
France and Spain combined; also that,
although a desert as barren as the
Great Sahara, it is peopled with pa
0OO, 900 Inhabitants. With the excap-
ton of Palestine, the King Of Hedjas
and his sons rule over all this region
NOT merely over what the maps
designate as Hedjas. The people
under this jurisdiction comprise many
wild, nomadic Bedouin tribes of the
desert. Prior to their united rebel
lion against the Turks, during. the
World War encouraged by the al
lies and brought to victory by the
march Of Gen. Allenby to the capture
of Jerusalem), these tribes had been
for centuries in bitter feuds, tribe
against tribe.

For seven years previous to the
war ne had been delving with en-
thusiasm into the sands of Arabia

chemish-the connecting link be-

Babylon-at least 5000 years before
Christ. He had also trailed Moses
through the wilderness of Sinai, and
had written book on the pre-Mosaic
Siniatic civilization.
He was not yet 80 years old when
the war began, and feeling the urge
Of patriotism, he left his desert sands

board looked upon the slender youth,

Through his long residence in
Arabia, Lawrence had learned several
Arabian dialects, and, likewise, the

The decision has had the effect of
smoking out even the silent Hiram

that it most emphatically is contrary
to public policy. The News goes on
to say: TT cannot fail to be OF

weight to the claim that one man on

sway decisions adverse to human lib
critics. If the impression is permitted
to get abroad that anywhere in the
campaign cards are being stack ed
against the freest expression of their
Will by the La Toilette supporters.

the candidate and send over to his
side a good many lovers of fair play

not be with him."

posed to make of it, may have some
thing to lose" Thus an occurrence

To the Editor Of The Star:
A large plane tree at the right of
the front entrance to the Pan-Ameri-
can building bears this legend:
"16
Pan-American Union
In the early days
Here was located
David Burns cottage
And the Van Ness Mansion"
Unless David Burnes' cottage and the
Van Ness mansion were one and the
same dwelling, a grammatica error is
evident on this market.
Two or more subjects connected by
the co-ordinating conjunction "and"
require the verb to be in the plural
number.
If the cottage and the mansion were
one and the same, the present form
is correct. If they were two separate
dwellings the legend should read:
Here were located, etc"
If this Is an error it is sufficiently
serious to require correction.

The German descended voters are
still discussing the recent vote of the
famous Steuben Society to La Toilette.
Herman Wedesw weiler, prominent Chi
cago man, recently resigned his posi-
tion as chairman of the big "older
unit of the society,"" explaining his
resignation as protest against the
"arbitrary action of the national Off
GERS in indorsing the Progressive
party and pledging support to it with
out consulting the members" His
vote comes after similar move in
New York, where Jules Nehring and
Charles II. Pate, members of the
Steuben organization, defied the group
who tried to deliver the German vote
to La Toilette. Mr.. Wedesweiler said ::
Il believe good, hard, sound sense of
the German citizens will
enable them to see that the interests
in the United States will be best pre-
served by the election of Coolidge and
Dawes and that these citizens will
also see that the election of Dawes to
the vice presidency will give a great
prestige to that wonderful creation
of his, the Dawes plan"
