Context added by this archive

May 1921, in the New York Times. The people are natives, which is a colonial word, and what they are doing is opposing. The line beneath names the alliance and its purpose exactly: Moslems and Christians, together, an association, to protect their rights.

That is the same Mohammedan-Christian Society whose leaders had asked an American reporter in 1919 where they were supposed to go (CP-1919-008). Two years later they have a constitution and a paper writes them up.
