) [ AGITATION AIDS " INDIA HOME RULE Khalifat Move Supported by Hindus Seeking Moham- medan Backing. RECIPROCITY THE AIM Restoration of Khalif's Temporal Power as Demanded Supported by All-India League. August 14.—The khalifat movement in India which several months ago brought about a revision ©f the Sevres treaty, has had a large part in the movement toward Indian home rule. Hindus, seeking Mo- hommedan support for the swadeshi agitation for sclf-government, have scen fit to support the khalifat move- men in return. The kalifat movement, unlike wadeshis, 8 wholly Mohammedan in aims. Originating in a protest azainst the peace terms which the allies offered to Turkey at the close of the war, it seeks the restoration of the khalif's temporal power and the freeing of Mohammedans from Christian rule. The claim regarding the khalifat calls for leaving the Turkish empire as it was at the out- break of the war. except that, al- though the allegations of Turkish misrule are not admitted, the non- Turkish nationalities may, if they so desire, be granted autonomous gov- ernment within the empire. Minimum Demand. The minimum demand was stated by a deputation of the viceroy in 1520 as follows: abia as delimited by Moslem authorities 2nd the holy places of Islam niust remain under the control of the khalif, full guarantees being taken, vith the dignity of a tate, for genuine Arab self- government, should the Arabs desire 1 We auvisedly use the word ‘gen- rine’ beczuse the present arrange- ment is throughly distrusted by the overwheiming majority of intelli- gent Moslem opinfon. “Isiam has ever assoclated tem- poral power with the khalifat. We therefore consider that to make the cultan a mere puppet would add in- It to injury and would only be un- derstood by affront given to them by a combina- tion of Christian powers Identified With All-Indla League. In India the khalifat movement has identified India Moslem League, which has been in existence since 1906. During re- cent years the league and the Indian national congress have. to a large extent. joined forces. The session of the league is now a pale shadow of the session of the congress, and the resolutions coincide with those of the congress, except that there is greater emphasis on the khalifat question. Although the Mohammedan popu- lation of India is only about seventy million. or less than one-fourth of the total populgtion, the Moham- medans exert a much greater political influence than their number would ‘warrant. —_— ENGINEER OF ADRIATIC WAS HERO OF EXPLOSION Passengers Tell of Blast Causing Five Deaths—Vessel Docks on Time.

He lost just $25 by following out the parable last night. A white man, wearing a blue shir and gray suit, met him on the stree! vesterday. The poor fellow had no lodging. He had no means wherewith to get a bed for the night. He had seen better times and wanted a lift. Edward gave it to him. He took him home and gave him a room for the night. He said “‘good night” about 11 o'clock and turned over to sleep the sound sleep of the just and charitable. He slept too sound. As a matter of fact, he did not know that his guest had left until he awoke this morning. At the same time he missed his pocket- book; also the $22 which reposed therein and a r of black shoes valued at $3. And Edward went to the police of the sixth precinct with his story.
