Turkish battalion, estimated at 500 to 600, with three mountain
guns, four machine guns, and a very few mounted troops. The
Arab levies will be concentrated at (jueira, Helou el-Beida, and
Delagha, which are all within easy striking distance of Abu
Lesal. No very important military results are likely to be
obtained, even if the attack is successful, but the operation will
at least afford an opportunity of testing the Arab troops, who
are as yet practically untried.
The Arab levies have been withdrawn from Elji (see pp. 447
and 475) and their place taken by some of Sherif Zeid’s Ateiba
and Ageyl, supported by two Indian mounted guns and two
machine guns.
The severe cold in this part of Arabia is having a somewhat
depressing effect on the Sherifian army.
[Late News—kz\z Effendi reports that he destroyed 100
rails and three bridges on the 12 th inst. between Seil Matara
and Urn Hashaim, which is presumably north of Hadiyah.

- Content
The volume consists of individual copies of the Arab Bulletin produced by the Arab Bureau at the Savoy Hotel, Cairo numbers 66-114. These publications contain wartime, and post-war intelligence obtained by British sources.
