himself has been there. Medina is said to have more sick
than sound soldiers in it. So far as we know, it has not been
reinforced, re-victualled, nor in any way relieved. Abdullah’s
bands continue to operate on the southern section of the line,
and the damage the)’ do is reported often not repaired for three
or four days. Further temporary destruction has been effected
between Oar el-Hamra and Moadhdham, and raiders have
apparently been operating also still further north, in the Tebuk
district. The Huweitat are reported to be fighting with two
sections of the Beni Atiyah, which have, apparently, not joined
the revolt ; and the same report mentioned fighting also
between the Turks and the Sibaa Anazeh and Hadidin of
Hamah at a point which is probably ftanta on the Homs-
Hamah railway, near a bridge .by which the latter crosses the
Orontes.
Sir Mark Sykes, accompanied by Colonel Leachman, has
visited Weih and Jeddah. At the former, on May 3, he saw Sidi
Feisal ; at the latter, on May 5, King Husem. He reports the
results of both interviews to be satisfactory, inasmuch as the iiejaz
leaders have been brought to understand that they have to
with an indivisible Entente ; that, under whatever overlord,
an enlightened progressive regime must be established m Syria ;
and that certain districts of the latter, whmh present peculiar
difficulties, must remain under special tutelage m any event.
