RIVALRY WHICH MAY LEAD TO TROUBLE,

BRITISH OBJECT TO ASCENSION OF CROWN PRINCE.

SEVERAL PRETENDERS AT WORK

Jerusalem (U.P.): Two Arab ya! houses. "that of ex-king Hussein and King Iba Saud, are jockeying for position as masters of Damascus. Rivalry which re- vises hopes of supremacy appears to have narrowed down to Feisal, son of Ibn Saud and the heir ap parent to the Mecca throne, and either Emir Zeid or ex-king Ali, sons of ex-king Hussein of the Hedjaz, at present an exile in Cyprus.

Ex-king All occupied the Hedjaz throne for a very short time in 8.25 1925, when he was defeated by the Wahabi leader, who made himself 6.40 6.80 King of the Hedjaz in addition to 657 Sultan of Nejd. Since his flight from Jeddah, Ali has been the guest of his brother, King Faisal of Iraq.

Parliament, in recognition of Ali's" services to the Arab cause "

13.43 4.07 5.38 6.44 7.00 720 7.82 made him a gift of a 13,000 acre estate on the banks of the Euphrates. Emir Zeid, the youngest of Hussein's SOLA, is at Oxford.
