Arabia and the War.

The article presents information on the book "The Revolt in Arabia," by C. Snouck Hurgronje. Once more the habitual unpleasantness in the relations of Arabs and Turks has entered upon an acute stage, it is accentuated by Husayn ibn Aly, Grand Sherif of Mecca, renouncing his allegiance to the Sublime Porte. As a side-issue of the great war this act of self-assertion may be expected to have consequences in the revision of the political map of Western Asia. If any one, Prof. Snouck Hurgronje is qualified to express an opinion on that and other aspects of the revolt in Arabia.
