Officials of the Holland-America liner
took rigid precautions to prevent
strangers from going on board the Hot
tcrdam. Although this has been tho rule
when officials of a government sailed
upon ono of their ship! thero was more
than tho cause for precautionary meas
ures today. Tho ship carried p. cargo
of 17,000 tons, the biggest ever transported
on a Holland-America liner.
Colonel House refused to throw nny
light upon his mission.
"I am going to London, Hcrlln and
Paris and I may go to Vienna," said tho
envoy. "That Is all I can say now."

which Is so proverbial for Americans and

This map shows the northern portion of tho Libyan Desert, on the
western borders of Kpypt, where tho proclamation of n jehad, or
holy war, by the Sultnn appears to havo had prnctical effect in
calling out tho religious fanatics of the Senussi order among the
Arab nnd Touarcg tribesmen. It is admitted by the British that thoy
have been compelled to evacuate Solium. Turkish reports claim that
the British nlso were driven out of the oasis at Siwali nnd routed at
Metoruh. Tho British aro silent regnrding Siwnh, but deny tho
reports concerning Metoruh, clniming that Instead thoy routed tho
Arabs near there. ,Thc three points nrc marked by stars, nnd tho
possible relationship of these irregular operations to a future Turco
