NOTES.
Koweit-Damascus Traffic.
It is reported by Mr. Philby, under date August 1, on the
authority of a trustworthy informant who was recently in Hail,
that Ajeimi’s caravan of eighty camels duly arrived from Koweit.
It is also reported that, about the beginning of July, a caravan of.
a thousand camels left Hail for Damascus bearing accumulated
stores of smuggled goods. This information hardly tallies with
that previously furnished by Mr. Philby (see p. 280). However,
there seems little doubt that some camels left for Damascus,
because it had been arranged that Ibn Leila should accompany
the caravan on its return journey.
Shammar and Nejd.
Mr. Philby reports that Ibn Rashid shows no sign of any
intention to move, and still remains at Hail. He adds the interest
ing news that Ardwan ibn Ramal has asked E urki—ibn Saud s
son and Commander-in-Chief (see p. 255) for aman, but Tuiki
has replied that he cannot negotiate with one living in enemy
territory, and that he and his followers must reside in Nejd in a
place to be appointed. Ardwan ibn Ramal is unknown to us, but
one Gbadhban ibn Ramal in 191(1 was reported chief of the Ramal,
a sub-tribe of the Sinjarah Shammar. Probably, as Ardwan bears
the tribal patronymic, he is either Ghadhban s successor or a
relative.

.
On August 18, at General Headquarters, the Commander-

el-Askari. The ceremony was
carried out on parade, with all military honours.
Idrisi’s Campaign.
A telegram from Aden, dated August 24, states that Arabs
east of Jebel Milh ambushed and captured a Turkish convoy of
thirty loaded camels, together with the rifles of the escort^ who
fled in all directions. Two attacks by the Turks at er-Rassas
were repulsed with loss on August 1 <.
