minions, especially Australia and New

outcome of the Japanese amendment
because they fear that the Immigra
tion problem may bo forced before
the council of the league.
The Japanese, amendment Is to
strike from the protocol the declara
tion that a country refusing an arbi
tral award of the world court shall
be proclaimed an aggressor. Japan
objects to the prohibition against
fighting out a cane before the league
of nations when the world court has
ruled that the Issue involved Is pure

Jurisdiction of the other party to the
dispute and that by Inference there
Is In neither cays* for conflict nor for

hension of many delegates who rear
that Japan wants to maintain the
right to go to war over matters touch

without Its being attacked by other
members of the league. The Japanese
object to this Insinuation. They con
tend that a great Injustice could be
done to Japan by setting up a state

doctrine upheld by the world court.
They Insist thay merely want the
privilege of further hearings before

REPORT OF
RUPTURE
LONDON—WhiIe the Moslem
world is anxiously waiting con
firmation of the report that the
occupation of Mecca has been com
pleted by the Wahabis—fanatical
Mohammedan puritan reformers
who held the holy city-for a few
years the beginning of the 19th.
centrji^—what little news is reach
ing the outside world by way of
rumor suggests that the report is

great war, made Mecca the capital
of his kingdom of the Hedjaz, is
reported to the DSlly Chronicle's
mecca correspondent to be retreat
ing with his scanty forces of Has
hamites to Jeddeh, the port of Mec

According to this correspondent’s
report, Hussien’s allies have failed
to attempt to recapture Talf, which
the Wahabis seized recently. Pos
sessslon of Taif is of Importance to
Mecca because it Is from there the
capital receives most of its food
stuffs.
Even If Mecca is not yet actually
In the hands of the Wahabis they
appear to be seriously menacing it.
if they capture and hold the city,
■it is supposed that the famous pil
grimages regarding them as equiva
lent to idolatry.
The Chronicle’s correspondent
says that the rumors of the fall of
Mecca created a sensation In Cairo
and are causing a stir throughout
Islam.
Reuter’s Cairo correspondent re
ports that news concerning Mecca
is scarce but that the position of
the city is believed to be critical,
with the civilian evacuation having
started and the seat of the govern
