PLAN TO RECONQUER ALL MOSLEM WORLD

Priests, Who Preach "Jihad," Declare Kaiser Is Mentioned in the Koran


NOVEMBER 28, 1915
The Tribuna of Rome printed on Nov. 14 the following information, which, it states, it
had received from trustworthy sources in Constantinople:
"Troops continue to arrive here from Anatolia. Uniforms and arms are lacking, however,
and the recruits are trained with ancient muskets taken from the arsenal.
"The German successes have revived the hopes and enthusiasm of the Turks. The priests
are now preaching was to the death, and announce the approaching conquest of Egypt,
Tunis, Libya, Morocco, the Caucasus, and India. The priests are also proclaiming that the
Kaiser is the messenger of Mahomet, and that his name is mentioned in the Koran, where
he is called Muhib ul Islam.
"Thanks to the Kaiser, Bulgaria has paid homage to the Sultan.
"A great expedition, it is asserted, is being organized against Egypt, in which the Turks,
the Bulgarians, Germans, and Arabs will participate, the latter, as a result of the German
victories, having recognized the divine mission of the Sultan. Preparations have actually
begun in Asia Minor, where many German engineer officers have arrived.
"It is affirmed that, in view of the expedition against Egypt, the Senussi have called to the
command a true Senussi, named Sidi Idris el Mahdi, who up to the present has been
living in holy places.
"It is also announced that negotiations are taking place Between Constantinople and
Addis Ababa, to secure the co-operation of Abyssinia against the Sudan
contemporaneously with the Turkish attack against Egypt.
"A telegram from a German source states that the first convoy of 20,000 tons of
Rumanian cereal left Braila on Nov. 12 for Germany. Huge purchases of cereals have also
been made in Bulgaria. Marshal von Mackensen has informed the Bulgarian
Headquarters Staff that by the Kaiser's orders all the booty which the Germans take in
Serbia will be handed over to Bulgaria."
