hostilities and to conclude a peace without demands for
compensation on either side. They agree to absolute freedom of
trade and impartial taxation of their respective subjects.
The British Government, in consideration of the acceptance
of the above terms by the Sultans of Mokalla and Kaiti, will
endeavour to settle all disputes which may arise between the
parties, subsequent to the date of this treaty, by arbitration
th rough the medium of their resident at Aden.
Great satisfaction at the settlement of their long-standing
differences is expressed by all parties, who are coming to Aden

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. They deal with economic, military, and political matters in Turkey, the Middle East, Arabia, and elsewhere, which – in the opinion of British officials – affect the ‘Arab movement’; the bulletins cover a wide range of topics and key personalities.

The volume contains the following maps:

  • A map of Central Arabia showing St John Philby's route from Uqair to Jidda 17 November to 31 December 1917: folio 103.
  • Sketch map prepared from RNAS photographs and reconnaissance by HMS City of Oxford of Wadi A seasonal or intermittent watercourse, or the valley in which it flows. Mur February to March 1918 : folio 170.
  • Sketch map of Hejaz (1919): folio 317.
  • Tribal sketch map of the Hadhramaut ‘showing only tribes of fighting value’: folios 333v.
