Ibn baud's prejudices against the Hherif are net unnatural«
The Sharif's one sign of ambition was given in 1910 when he marched
to |asia nominally to assert the rights of the Ateibah tribe, but
in reality to take it from Ibn Baud and make it again dependent
on ttejas. Ibn tiashid failed to support him and he retired,
saving his face by making certain stipulations as, for example,
that the <iasim towns should pay a yearly subsidy of £4,000.
Throu^iout the whole incident he posed as the close ally and
representative of the Ottoman Government.
The reference to the expedition of the Sherii's son must
refer to the mission of abdullah in March 1915, when he went to
Ibn Gaud with a large escort to collect arrears from .asim wnd
Gedeir, and to negotiate peace between Ibn baud and Ibn Haahid.
He was successful in his mission.
