The Royal Flying Corps are doing work which could not be better performed If whole divisions of mounted scouts patrolled the desert to aupply headquarters with Information of an elusive enemy. The observers report their positions with never-failing accuracy. No square mile of the desert is unexamined, and so surprised are the Bedouins at the perfect knowledge of their plans that many are coming In to surrender. The German and Turkish officers talk In vain of a Holy War; the Arabs have tasted the quality of our flying columns, and have no stomach left for fighting.

So, too, had some of the New Zealanders, who will speak with admiration of the way the Sikhs put the finishing strokes to a good day's ward, though all transport, horsed and motor, had been bogged and left behind.
