produce a variety of singular manoeuvres on the part both of Germans, Turks, and
international financiers, in event of further allied military success.
Notice should be taken of the cutting from the “ Morning Post.” No enemy
could of malice devise anything more likely to encourage the enemy than the
publication of such matter, impugning our Generals, showing want of discipline among
officers, and. suggesting that Indian troops are unfairly used. It is strongly
recommended that some steps should be taken to prevent the enemy receiving such
useful moral support in future.
M. S.
P.S.-—Since going to press a telegram has been received from Sir H. McMahon
announcing the recapture of Comfida by the Turks. This move is an operation under
taken by the Turks from Assir, and probably indicates a desire of the Turkish
commander in Assir to co-operate with the forces at Medina, which he naturally
assumes is endeavouring to get to Mecca.
What part Idris has played in the matter time will show ; unless the Turks achieve
some success in the north the event will probably not have much importance.
