Turkey. Appreciation was also axpressed
to the King of Afghanistan
for granting equal rights to Hindus,
in the interest of Hindu-Moslsm
unity.
With regard to the unti-Turfkish
policy recently displayed by Great
Britain, the Khalifat Committee was
outspoken in its condemnation. Resolutions
passed on this subject were J
as follows: I
"This meeting of the Central Khalifat
Committee accepts the challenge
thrown by .Mr. Lloyd George, the
British Premier, in his speech at
Manchester, to Asia on the one hand
and Islam on the other, and assures
hur. and other persons of his way of
thinking that so far as Islam is concerned,
this challenge to the Moslems
of the world, alive to their responsibility,
are every ready to meet in
every possible manner.
"This meeting of the Central Khalifat
Committee considers the Britistt
activities, in their attempts to internationalize
the Turkish Straits, as
. unjust and coercive, and in the opin
ion of this committee such internationalization
could only be justifiable
i in case other powers, especially Briti
ain. internationalize the seas under
their respective influences, and, further,
in the opinion of this meeting,
i such attempts are detrimental to the
. freedo mof the Khalifa of Islam and
I the seat of the Khalifat."

can handle from 2,500 to 3,000 tons

The table prepared by Mr. Barnes
shows that transportation on the big h

tons capacity, is the cheapest in

who has returned from a two year

which became famous as ?a place

si retch of coTal strand under shade. ivintr
palm trees?is beginning to
'low the marks of civilization, despite
the fact that the raio of inhabitants
continues to approximate four
women to one man, Stokes said.
There are only 23 taxpayers?men
1-c i ween the ages of 21 and 60?on the
island. The rast of the 236 inhabitants
are women, young boys and old
men.
"All of the work except the fishing
is done by the women, who are
comely, sturdy, exceedingly tall, mus- l
cular and hospitable," Stokes said. I

"I'espite the heavy ratio of women
