much the same role in northern

somewhat as Mecca is. But there is
little to induce sightseer to cross
miles of desolate desert. The oasis
is very small, water is scarce. and the
dates are of inferior quality. There
are now only about 100 inhabitants.
Besides the mosque and the white
bastionlike buildings of the 'univer-
sity, the structures of the community
are negligible.
During the great war the Senussi,

waged war on the Anglo Egyptian
forces. The leader at that time, Sayed
Ahmed. divided his time between
Jaghbub and the extensive prosper
Gus oasis of silva about 60 miles to
the southeast. After his defeat by
British forces he escaped from Africa
in a Turkish subma arine, leaving as
next claimant for leadership a cousin,
Sidi Mohammed Idris, who has been
friendly toward the British and Ital-
ians.
Before Great Britain relinquished
her protectorate over Egypt she had
agreed that the Egyptian-Italian
boundary be drawn so as to leave
Jaghbub on the Italian side of the
line. Italy, asserting that this ar
rangement is still binding. is asking
for the formal transfer of the oasis

the excellent precedent established in
the Albert and Victoria Museum in
London, the director or the greatest
collection of art which this country
contains has preferred whenever pos
sible to represent a room of a cert ain
period in completeness rather than to
exhibit detached pieces of furniture
or single example of rugs or drap-

of Mrs. de Forest, who has spent a
large fortune in buying historic in
