especially in Persia and India, have approved his views. Nevertheless, he was obliged
to cease writing, and to live for some time in retirement at Baghdad. Rejected bv his

though he was not at heart anti-British. He at first marched with the army, but finding

toured the tribes preaching Turkish propaganda. The Turks offered him no reward
