No record is available of any such
wreck.
The life" of a skeleton buried In
the sands of the beaches of the i o.ijt

over 4 0 years.

Mexico to Spain were discontinued
if' r 1820, partly because of the ait

Even before that time the Spaniards
tried tO" avoid eesslve losses from

WHY ARE THE BRITISH FIGHTING i .1
IN MESOPOTAMIA? HERE'S ANSWER
'Why are tho British fighting in
Mesopotam la ?"
This Question is frequently asked
these days as news dispatches tell of
heavy fighting in Mesopotamia. Here
I is the answer:
The league of nations created four
distinct states in Asia Minor three
mandates and one separate and sov
ereign coun.ry. Mesopotamia was
placed under a British mandate, Syria
under ihe French, Palestine under the
i British, and the kingdom of Ihe Hejas
sas made an Independent nation and
I an original member of the league.
INDIAN COLONIALS
In Mesopotamia the British are
charged with drawing up the organic
law, protecting tlje Mesopotamians
from invasion and preserving order.
The chief cause of fighting is that the
British are using a large number of
linh;n colonials (the British force di
Vidod, 55,500 Indians and 9800 British)
and there Is considerable racial antlp
.it by between the Indians and the
Arabs. It is estimated also that J00 -000
ot the Mesopotamia! population
ue privatel and secretly armed with
British and Turkish rifles.
The Iroops are protecting peaceful
farmers from Kurdish and other no
Hc raids and trying to keep rival
religious factions among the ArabS
apart.
But the political ideal of peace and
orderly sell government, mapped out
by ihe league of nations, never can be
n allsed until the Indian colonials are,
withdrawn and the British pollcine
army is recruited from and trained in
Mesopotamia.
ECONOMIC REVIVAL.
Mesopotamia has a population of 2,-i
850.000, tin area of 1,200 000 square
miles, and a tillable area of about
