family treasure has been rescued and
brought from Mecca to Jeddah.
The Hashimite family, King Hus-
sein and his two sons, came into the
limelight of Arabia in June, 1916.
when HuSsein, at that time grand
shereef of Mecca, after prolonged ne
gotiations with representatives of
Great Britain and the allies, threw off
the mask of loyalty to the Ottoman
empire and commenced hostlities
against the Turkish army with a
small group of Bedouins whom he in
duced to take the field against Tur-
key.
Subsequently, Hussein proclaimed
himself King of Hedjaz, and on
March z, 1924, after the compulsory
abdication of the Sultan of Turkey,
he was proclaimed caliph by a group
of Moslems, representing Transjorda-
MIA, Palestine, Mesopotamia and He'd
JAZZ.
Failed to Win Some.
Hussein scion Of an ancient
Arabic family with century-old pre-
tensions to the caliphate, based on
their direct descent from the prophet,
encountered great difficulties in his
aspirations toward the caliphate. AL
though practically master of the
Arabic countries, he could not obtain
the sympathy of the whole Moslem
world.
His main opponent proved to be
Sultan Ibn Saoud Of Nejd, central
Arabia, ~the leader OF the fanatic
sect of the WahabiS. lbn Saoud, also
a scion of an ancient family of Arabia
and who claims direct descent from
Mohammed, was antagonistic to Hus-
sein's family, in the observance of
his family traditions.
