By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. PERA, Turkey, June 20.—The re cent unsuccessful Kurdish revoli. which generally has been considered as a trivial desert uprising, actually is par¢ of a worldwide battle for oil according to Turkish information Witnesses at the trial of the rebel lious sheiks, now drawing to a fatal close at Angora, invariably are asked whether England encouraged the re bellion, promising support to an inde pendent Kurdistan. At the same time the present uprising of other Kurdish tribes on the British side of the Mosul oil region quite obviously is not being discouraged by Turkish authorities. The League of Nations is expected to decide in October whether the Mo sul oil area belongs to Turkey or to the British mandate of Mesopotamia A sheik named Said, who seems des tined to hang as soon as his presence is no longer needed, is the principal defendant in the present trial. Ap parently prematurely, he started one of the most carefully planned revolu tions of recent years. The plot con templated overthrow of the republic the return of the ex-Sultan from exile, restoration of the Caliphate and dras tic suppression of the present liberal tendencies, as well as Kurdish auton omy under -British protection, in a new Kuristan, including the oil fields.

The United States Marine Band will play the processional music and the entire stadium, marchers and audience will be {llumined with countless red signal lights.
