LONDON, Soiitt. 29. While the
Moslem world Is anxiously awaiting
confirmation of the report that Mecca
has been captured by tho Wahalils
fanatical Moheuinieilan puritan reform
ers, who held tho holy city for a few
years at tho beginning of the nine
teenth century what llttlo news is
reaching the outside world by way of
rumor, suggests that the report is
likely to be true.
King Hasscth, who during the Great
War mode Mecca the capital of his
new kingdom of tho Hcdjnz, Is reported
by the Daily Chronicle's Cairo corres
pondent to 'bo Tetroating with h's
scanty forces of Hashaniitos to Jed
dah, the port of Mecca. Tho belief is
held, according to the correspondent's
dispatches, that Hussein's allien have
failed In their attempt to recapture
Talf, which the Wahahls seized recent
ly. Capture of Talf is of Importance
to Mecca becnuse it is from there that
the capital receives most of Its food
stuffs, Tho tribes betwoon Mecca and
Talf are reported to have refused to
help Hosseln whoso safety, according
to current reports, is in danger.
The Chronicle's correspondent says
that the rumors of tho fall of Mecca
created a sensation in Cairo and Is
causing a stir throughout Islam.
