New Caliph Rides Horse to Mosque As Ancestors Did By the Ansociated Press. CONSTANTINOPLE, December 2. —Prince Abdul Medjld Effendi, the new caliph, hus revived the traditions of medieval times by riding .to St. Sophla Mosque on horseback, In ancient cavalier fashion. His appearance yester- day In the streets of Stamboul, on a blg gray charger, excited the wonderment of the phlegmatic Turks, who rose from their cof- fce cups to applaud him. The prince had anything mut the appearance of an ecclesiastical personage, attired as he was in a raincoat, riding breech: h boots and the conventional fes. He was the central figure of the weekly Selamlik devotional sery- ices, which for the first time In modern history were held in St Sophia. Prayers were sald for the fallen Turkish soldiers. In all public ceremonies the caliph is accompanied by Rafq Pasha, who keeps a solicitious eye on him as if he feared someone might spirit him away.
