The Wahabbis forces are advancing rapidly toward Mecca, the Holy City of the Koslems. The troops of King Hussein are fleeing in a panic. Taif, sixty miles from Mecca, was occupied by the Wahabbis who have massacred the population of the city. Many other cities have been burned and pillaged by the invading forces.
