V VI THE 8EMLWEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. A NURSE TAKE! ANCIENT CATHEDRAL LAID IN RUINS f ram (s?WSl 1 m mm m IN IHE MAIN IS W DANGER Germany's Threat to Stir Up Mo hammedans Lacks Strength. DIVIDED SPIRITUAL KINGDOM Sultan of Jolo, Who Is Under the Do minion of the United States, Ranks Second as Most Excellent Po tentate l Moslem Land. Washington.- Probably few realized recently when Qartnany threatened to stir up the MoliaimnedniiB of tho world against tho allies that the second most exalted potentate of MoBlem lands la a protcgo of tho stars and stripes. According to tables of precedence approved at Mecca tho sovereign rank ing next to tho.Hultan of Turkey Is tho sultan of Jolo. Tho tactful American army officer lets the sultan of Jolo retain all his Btrlng of titles Including that of "Over lord of tho United States," but his real power Is almost nil over tho 300,000 Moros In tho Philippines. 'Ilo Is 'al lowed, to bo exact, tho powers of Jus tice of the peace of Mulbun, In tho southern Philippines. Hut by Mohammedan law ho Is yet the religious and political guido of mil lions of Moslcugp in Slam, Jolior, the Federated Malay StateB, Malacca, I'enang, Singapore, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, Mindanao and other Islands of tho East Indies. Nothing could Illustrate better tho lack of unity in tho Mohammeduu tribes and nations and tho decadence of tho Moslem world In a political senso from tho timo of tho conquests of tho Saracens and tho Turks. Tho ancestors of the sultan of Jolo for centuries controlled and led nu merous plrato Meets that, harried tho Asiatic coast from Hindustan to Ton ijuln. They converted by tho aword the inhabitants of tho East Indies Sultan of Turkey. to tho faith of Islam. On theBo serv ices tho Biiltans of Jolo received rank freely accorded to tho present huI tan on his pllgrlraago to Mecca only second to tho coromnndor of tho faith ful. If tho sultan at Constantinople should proclaim a Jehad or holy war through tho Sholk-uMslam, tho sul tan of Jolo would probably consult soino American second lieutenant on the subject and then roll a clgaretto and discreetly retire to tho dopth of his liarom. This brlngB us to tho question how much Mohcmed V of Turkey could as sist tho Gorman emperor. Despite tho reduction of his domin ions in Europe by tho Dalkau wars, tho sultun could put moro than a mil lion men In tho Hold if ho could ob tain money and equipment. Ho could -ompol P.UBBla to dofond its 'raufl-Cuu-nfilun possessions and could troublo Great Urltaln on tho Egyptian border. Hut tbo threat to incite tho lmmenao Moulom population of Aala and Africa to rlso agalnBt Great Urltaln, Franco anil Huasiu should not bo alarming. There aro about 283,000,000 Moham medans, comprising onc-soventh of tho world's population. Of theBo 87,000,000 aro under tho Hrltlah rulo In Afilca, Asia and the Hast indies; 41,000,000 (If wo count Morocco) owe nlloglunco to Prance; and 1 1,000,000 are in Kunslnn poses slons. Tlio only independent Mohnm meilan countries besldo Turkey nro Persia and tho' Wahabl tribes of Arabia. Tho' Ottoman Emplro has 20,000,000 Inhabitants, but not ull aro Moham medans. AIbo, in many parts of Arabia his authority Ib rodaced to a constadt effort to defeat flying bonds of rebels. Theoretically the Sultan requests tho Sholk-ul-lBjam, tho highest Mo hammedan church dignitary, to pro claim a holy war against tho Inlldels. Then tho hosts of Islam gathor around tho standard at Constantinople ami launch themselvcB against tho lulldols. Hut this Is tho year 1014, not 050 nor yet 14C3. Thoro aro now no leas than soventy-threo Mohammodan sects. And never did Arlan and Ath unaslan hato each other more deeply than do the Sunuitcs and tho Shunhs, tho two main divisions of tho Islam ites. The Turks aro Sunnltes.

And tho Shuah to thd Sunnito la "a cursed heretic," whllo tho Sunnlte Is called "nn unreasoning fanatic" by tho Shuahs. Then, too, tho different Mohamme dan communities aro separated wldo ly, geographically. They cling tena ciously to their religion but they have Ilttlo intercourse, either of goods or of news. It Is fair to bclicvo that a proclam ation by tho Sultan at Constantinople would not reach Moslema for many months or oven years. Then It might bo flouted. Ethnographicully tho Cossacks aro closoly related to tho Turks. But tho hard riders of South Russia wero in tho front ranks of tho Czar'B troops In tho Itusso-Turklsh war and In tho presont struggle thoy would bo unlike ly to desort on account of tho com mand of tho Shelk-uMslam. And as for tho Persian Mohammedans, thoy would probably bo attacked early In tho war by tho Sultan's men. Tho Kurds would raid toward Teheran and Russians, Mohammedans and Persians would opposo them. Tho sultan of Turkoy might, how ever, cause a great deal of troublo by rousing tho wild tribes of Arabia. Theso Dedoulns, always fighting tho Constantinople ruler, might yet be brought to his standard by a comblna- J tlon of religious fanaticism and deslro ' for booty. In IJrltlsh Somallland, too, , thero aro 500,000 Mohammedan ne groid natlvos, who remember vividly tho wars of tho "Mad Mullah" and might bo induced to take up arms again.

Thero have been many pilots against tho ftovorn mont In rccont years and Turkish emissaries havo lately beon very busy In Egypt. Hut tho dlBcontented class In tho Nllo valley Is Bmall. Tho Follahoen, who aro not fighters any way, realize that nritlsh domination has meant hotter crops and better times.

Other combinations of sandwich filling urn chopped dates, with an apple to cat with tho sandwich. Fig and wulnut sandwich with a pear, or a bunch of grapes with a Jelly sandwich, Theso may bo given In rotation, so that there need bo no monotony. A fetching lit tle basket will help a great deal In tho pleasure of a lunch. Oranges may bo peeled nnd each section wrapped In paper. Pears and apples may be cored and put together with tooth picks. All sandwiches should be like wise wrapped In oiled paper. It proper attention is given to com bining a Bweet sandwich with a sour fruit nnd a Bweet fruit with a sour sandwich, candy will not be so much craved. A little candy at the end of a meal Is all right, but it should never ho eaten first. A generouB piece of candy after the noon meal will generally satisfy the natural deslro of every child for sweets. ' When Bweet fruits are not to bo served, cookies and gingerbread will tako their place. A sandwich filling of chopped peanuts and mayonnaise dressing will be a good one to accom pany tho cake. ' For tho older boy or girl wlio can not go home for tho noon meal a great er variety and more substantial food should be served. Sandwiches, of course, may be bo filling and of such a variety that one need not fear a lack of variety. When a man's his own enemy it's only because lio's too much Ills own friend. Oliver Twist.
