, ‘Abd-ui-Razzaq Bey,+
Khalil Bey, Mohammed ‘Ali Bey, and Zubeir Bey; the last-mentioned
of these princes is the only one now resident at Damascus.
About the same time that Bedr Khan was exiled, ‘izz-ud-Din also was
banished to Damascus with his two sons, Tahir Bey, to whom a son,
named ‘Jzz-ud-Din after his grandfather, and a daughter were born, and
Mohammed ‘Ali ; the former are all still living, and the latter is known to
be residing at present on his estate at ‘Ajlun.
The importance of these two families lies in the report that a movement
was being inaugurated in March to establish an independent Kurdistan
under the rule of one of the sons either of Bedr Khan or of ‘Izz-ud-Din ;
it has even been suspected that the family of Bedr Khan have despatched
emissaries to Kurdistan for this purpose, Several of the sons of Bedr
Khan are violently opposed to the Turks and are active supporters of the
movement for the independence of Kurdistan. ‘Abd-ur-Rahman was writing
for a paper called “ Kurdistan ” in Cairo fifteen years ago, in which he gave
utterance to anti-Turkish sentiments and carried on pro-British propa
ganda. A Khalid Bey, who is probably a grandson of Bedr Khan

by one of his daughters, was a doctor in the Turkish Army; but he fled to
Basra with several other officers and joined the British, for whom he
worked as a medical officer in the internment camps at Bilbeis and Maadi.
Other members of this family who are interested in the Kurdish move
ment are Sureya ibn Amin Bey, who fled to Egypt about 1912 through
fear of the Committee of Union and Progress, and his five brothers in
Constantinople, who, while originally opponents of the Committee of
Union and Progress, seem recently to have become hostile rather to the
Christians ; the Committee of Union and Progress has always fostered
enmity between the Kurds and the Armenians and is still playing on the
fears of the Kurds that they will be made subject to the Armenians under
a mandate given to one of the Allies.
t Other authorities mention a son named ‘Abd-ur-Rahman, who is perhaps
identical with ‘Abd-ur-Razzaq ; there are several other variants in the lists.
