The War in the Arab PeninsulR.
2. The news of the war between Ibn Sioud and Imam Yehia
attracted general interest, and public sympathy was almost
wholly on the side of Ibn Sioud, whose firm attitude and
defence of Sharia and his rejection of the terms of the

on the staff of the Arab Saoudite Legation in Cairo, has been
serving the interests of Ibn Sioud in Palestine.
The cause of the war has been attributed in public
gossip to His Majesty’s Government, and, to a degree, to
the ambitions of Italy. Emir Abdalla is suspected of
active interests and of visiting Iraq for the purpose
of discussing a common scheme, and of an agreement with
Imam Yehia. Friendly relations between France and Ibn
Sioud are remembered, and also the payment by the former
of certain Wakf dues, the visit to Hejaz of Fawaz Siiaalan,
and grandson of Huri, a supporter of French policy.
The peace delegation which proceeded to Hejaz and
Yemen under the auspices of the Islamic Congress received
general support. Success of the negotiations will add to
