teered for Yemen. Is Teutophil and Francophobe, and
speaks German and French. He came to Aden in October
1913, with a credit of Rs. 40,000 and a letter to the late
Sultan of Lahej, ostensibly in order to pay arrears for
flour supplied by Messrs. Hasan Ali {q.v.) of Aden, and
to arrange further credit. He avoided the Aden authorities,
and started back via Mawiyah and Ta iz (the route after
wards taken by the Turkish invaders), alleging that the
Mokhah-Ta'iz route was closed to him by the tribes; but
there is reason to doubt his reason for choosing the more
arduous road. A good Staff Officer.
