Makers of the Highsst | INBZe, Grode Turkish and SENUSSI IN REVOLT FOR INDEPENDENGE Never Took Kindly to Ascendency of the Turks, Their Masters (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Constantinople, August b5.—Aside from the more important theaters of warfare, interest has been aroused here in a reported uprising of the Senussi, the Arabic order of Moham- medans in Northern Africa, with the hope of establishing an independent State in the Italian Province of Tri- poli. It is a little over fifty years ago that the man who was better known as the Sheik-Senussi went into the hinterland of Tripoli to promote a schismatic Mohammedanism of which he himself was the author. The re- ligious circles at Mecca and Medina, to whom the reformer in question had stated his views on the Maslem re- ligion, had not taken kindly to them. Senu was an Arab to the core, and as such resented the ascendency of the Turks in the temporal affairs of a faith of which an Arab, Mohammed, was the prophet. In the hinterland of Tripali, Senussi encountered conditions that were fa- vorable to the spread of a religious reform movement. The Arabs, Ber- bers and Nesroes of the arid stretches in what was then still a Turkish sa- trapy, gathered about Senussi and lis- tened to whatever new truths he had to announce. In very little time, Senussi had become Shiek-Senussi and Menzel-ul-Keir his capital of the Senussi temple in that city Shiek. Senussi caused the following words to be painted: “Turks and Christians; I will des- troy them both in a single day.” That legend is said to be still vis- ible, and it is certain that its spirit is still a force among the Senussi— the term identifying fully eighty per cent of all Mohammedans in Tripoli, Tunis, Algeria, Eastern Morocco, and the Sudan. Contrary to popular be- lief the word Senussi is not a tribal name, but the designation of a sort of secret order. With the death of the first Sheik Senussi his reform lost much of its militancy. The founder of the cult, if such it may be termed, never aspired to temporal power, but his successor, the present Sheik-Senussi proved to be more of a politician, some even say statesman, than a religious leader, with the re- sult that the Senussism became a po- litical rather than a spiritual force. It seems, however, according to in- formation obtained here, that the or- der of the Senuss: is far from having abandoned altogether the percepts and example of its founder. No North African Mussulman will direct- ly admit that he is a Senussi, but that he belongs to the order may be learned from his attitude while at prayer in the mosque. While at regular follower of Mohammed, dur- ing the parts of his prayer delivered in a standing position, permits his arms to hang motionless at his sides the Senussi crosses his arms over his breast and grips with his right hand the left wrist in such a manner that thumb and index fingers rest on the pulse. ‘Would Continue War. The present sheik of the Senussi was not pleased with the Ottoman government, when, with the treaty of Lausanne, Tripoli was ceded to Italy. Through the former deputy of Tripoli to the Ottoman parliament the Sheik announced that he had severed his connections with the supreme cali- phate, and that he would continue the war with the Italians on his own account. The deputy in question, Suleiman-el-Baruni, has since be- come the sheik’s ablest lieutenant, with being an excellent organizer and leader of troops. Baruni is alsa known as a hater of Italians without equal, even in Tripoli. That the Senussi would have ever completely broken with the Ottoman government, had it not been for the occupation of their country by the Ttalians, is not thought likely here. The order had for many years en- joyed absolute liberty of conscience, and under this policy much of the former fanaticism had vanished. But recent information on this subject, coming direct from North America, shows that the Senussi intend estab- lishing, if possible, an independent Senussi state in Tripoli, doing this in cooperation with the other Moslem aggregates who are said to be ready to do away with averlordships by European powers. Whether so ambitious a plan can be carried out is something to which the future must supply the answer. ‘What the resources of the Senussi are is something on which even the best informed men in Constantinople lack all accurate news. But it is fairly certain that the military means of the order are greater than has been supposed, notwithstanding that the Ottoman government, which has had its hands full with looking after its own army supplies, has not sent a single cartridge into Tripoli, since the war with Ttaly. The stronghold of the Senussi mili- tary forces is said to be Dschebel Gharian, and from there Baruni has been directing operations against the Ttalians. How successful he has been may be judged by the fact that the Ttalian government has been obliged to make arrangements for the transportation to Kurope of all Furopeans even in the city of Tri po A few days ago the Senussi were but nine kilometers south of the city. .

All the men are mounted, but the horse is simply used as a means of rapid locomotion. ‘When in the fir- ing line, the Senussi employs infan- try tactics, availing himself of all the natural cover ta be found. Though unfamiliar with the use of the modern electric means of com- munication, the Senussi, employing heliographs during the day, and light signals at night, are able to rapidly communicate with one another. The Italian troops in Tripoli have found their work greatly hampered by this. It is believed here that the Senussi came into the possession of large stores of arms and ammunition through British traders before the outbreak of the present war, the traf- fic being carried on by means of camel transports through the Sudan. The equipment thus secured is said to be fairly modern. To what extent the rising of the Senussi is related to Pan-Islamism is impossible to say. It is certain, however, that the Senussi are not be- yond the influence of the men at the head of this movement. Even the closest watch along the Egyptian frontier could not prevent communi- gation between Stamboul and Tripoli. Pan-Islamists are found everywhere along the line which such communi- cations would follow in order to reach the Senussi. The transportation of arms and ammunition, however, is more difficult, and since so far the Ottoman government has had use for every rifle and cartridge in its pos- session, the charges made by the Italian press, . that the Senussi were being armed by Turkey, are said here to be absolutely unfounded. APPEALS TO BRITISH FOR FAIR CHANCE Lloyd George Urges gettlemem of Conscription Issue London, Sept. 20.—David@ Lloyd George, minister of munitions, in a letter to one of his constituents, is- sued by the official press bureau last evening, appeals to the public to give the government a fair chance to de- cide the question of compulsory serv- ice and reiterates his view that the situation is a serious one which de- mands that the country, if victory is to fall to the allies, must exert its whole strength. Mr. Lloyd George says: “You say, and say rightly that the government ought to give the nation a lead on the question whether the maral obligation of every able-bodied man to defend his country should be converted during this war into a legal obligation. After Right Decision. “The government, I can assure you, are fully alive to the necessity for giving a definite lead. They are en- gaged in examining the subject with a view to coming to the right deci- sian. Undue delay might be dis- astrous, but undue precipitation might be equally disastrous. Let us avoid both. The issue is one of fact, not of principle. “If the figures demonstrate that we can win through with the voluntary system it would be folly ta provoke a controversy in the middle of a world war by attempts to substitute a to- WB GIVE RGYAL GOLD TRADING STAMPS—ASK FOR THEM Special Combination Sugar, Tea, Coffee, Spice, Extract, Baking Powder Sale ¥e Wil sl POUNDS BEST GRANULATED SUGARm§1 To All Purchasers of $1 Worth or More Of Our Famous Teas, Coffees, Powder.

Ascertainable Facts. “It is all a question of ascertainable facts. Why then all this premature anger? The determining facts have not yet been published. When they have been sifted and made known the advocates of one view or the other will surely find the whole cylinders of fervor and ferocity have been wasted in attacking positions which they will then discover they ought to defend. Let the government have a fair chance to decide. “I withdraw nothing I have said as to the seriousness of the position. Naturally I take a hopeful view of the prospects of the cause I am con- cerned in but I know to well that to ignore dangers which you can see with the naked eye, if you look around, is the most fruitful source of disaster in all affairs. I for months have called attention to the dangers in the present war. Events alone will prove whether 1 have been unduly alarmed. So far, 1 regret, they have justified my apprehensions “I should, indeed, be a traitor if I did not hope fervently that the course of the war would prove that 1 have over-estimated the worst evils but I have not written without warrant in facts known to the enemy as well as to us-—facts which I shauwld have thought would have already sobered the most fatuous optimist.” FINANCE MINISTERS CONFER, Paris, Sept. 20, (noon.)—Pierre 1.
