ARABS ENRAGED-AT TURKS

Deliberate Shooting ’’of Lieutenant While Engaged in Prayer Stirs Revolt —Cairo.—A oew reason for the revolt of the Asiatic tribes in Turkey against Turkish rule has become common property of the Ottoman army and threatens to cause other defections, according to reports reaching here. According to these stories Abdul Kader, a* Turkish officer commanding an Arabian contingent deliberately shot and killed a lieutenant who did not salute because the Turk parsed while his subordinate was at prayer. The Arabs are protesting bitterly that this conduct scarcely conforms to their ideas of a holy war.
