NE of the most romantic fig- ures of the entire war was Thomas Lawrence, a young Oxford graduate who had | specialized in archaeology. For seven | years he had wandered about Syria | in ve costume and living with the | various \Bedouin tribes whom he en- countered on his way. At the out- break of the war with Germany he | was engaged in excavation work | among the ruined cities of Mesopo- | tamia. He had,lived in Arabia so { long and had gained such a remark- able knowledge of the various tribes, their language, customs, and pecu- liarities, that when war was declared the British authorities called him to Cairo and appointed him to the map department of the British Office there, with the title of lieutenant. He was still employed in this va- pacity in 1906, doing the most valu-, able kind of work in connection with the laying out of maps of localities which he knew far more fhtimately than the official topographers, when the Shereef of Mecca, King Hussein of Arabia, who had been for yéars a virtual prisoner of the Turks at Con- stantinople, gave the word for his long-prepared revolt against the Turks, oppressors of Arabia for fully 500 years. This revolt proved for- midable. When it began, the British authorities at Cairo decided that Thomas Lawrence was pre-eminently fitted to be sent to Arabia as British military representative. His achievements from that time on placed him in the list of that small band of Britishers whose ro- mantic exploits in exotic countries have been writtén permanently into the pages of world history -- the Raleighs, the Drakes, the Kitcheners, the Gordons, and such men as Sir Richard Button, the first foreigner who ever penetrated within the for- bidden walls of the holy city of Mecca. : The revolution that has resulted in the new Kingdom of the Hedjaz was chiefly due to the Arabo-Turkish army. The Turkish principle of gov- ernment had been to fill all the re- sponsible official posts with Turks. Especially was this the case with the Young Turks. But they enforced military conscription among the Arab population to the best of their abil. | ity, for the Balkan war had made a wide chasm in the Turkish population of military age. The result was that the so-called Turkish army in Arabia IF on requést T. BE. CONNOR Ont. Supt., Toronto. ROMANCE OF WARTIME OOL. LAWRENCE WHO COMMAND- * consisted very largely of AratE whosé sympathies were wholly with their fatherland "and against thelr oppressors. When the general rising urred the Arab portion of the army desertéd almost en masse. The Turkish army, thus depleted, was forced to-take refuge in various forts, and was gradually driven to surren- der, except at Medina, where a conv siderable number of Turks collected and succeeded in holding out until the end of the war. ; Thé Arab deserters, with their Western drill and modern weapons, formefdthe nucleus of the mew army of the Hedjas. With the addition of new recruits and supplies from the allies an excellence force of regulars was fornied. These were supple- mented by swarms of irregulars-- Bedouin horsemen and camelmen | from the deserts. This was the army which was to co-operate with the ria. Its third son of King Hussein-- a man of strong patriotism, energy, tact,' . and ability to command -- and Col. Thomas Lawrence. To Cok Lawrence more than to any other man was due the efficient or- ganization of the Hedjaz army. He worked in perfect harmony with King | Hussein and Prince Falsal, to whom | his wild and reckless yet contifu- ally successful exploits at the head' of his Bedouin force of 200,000 borsemen were spoken of in this and | other countres of the East: A small ; blonde young Englishman, with in- tensely blue eyes and a strong chin, | | he was adored by the fierce tribes- men whose every exploit with horse or camel he could equal, if not sur- pass, Fearless and resourceful, 'de- feat to him meant simply accomplish- ing a given task ina different way. He" wore on all occasions full Be- douin costume, and his achievemenis:* as military commander in the impet- uous 'raids which he led against the Turks, and which drove them out of | Arabia, were such that King Hussein conferred on him the title of She- reef, the first instance in history of a Westerner holding that much-priz- ed religious rank, which entitled him to wear the agal, kuffia, and abba, | distinctive of Arabic princes of the blood. He also wore a curved golden sword which Prinee Faisal himself | présented to his English commander. | pite his fame and the brilliant | record of his achievements, Col. Law- rence was an extremely silent and almost abnormally modest: man. On more than one occasion he literally fled from the honors which the Brii- ish Government wished to confer np- on him. Blonde as a Viking, he walk- . ed about in the streets of Jerusalem or other eit in full panoply of Arab royal costume, plunged in some inner dream. . His leisure moments he spent in the study of archaeology. | His influence over his native .follow- | ers was amazing; he &ccomplished | what had never been accomplished | before--the welding of many differ- | ent and often hostile tribes into one | single patriotie unit. In none of his wild raids was he ever wounded, | though he exposed himself in the most reckless fashion, leading cav- alry charges in the style of Cromwell or Seydlits. i It should not be forgotten, in this connection, that he had never had military training, and was note worthy when wearing British uni- | form (after his capture of Akaba he | had 'been made a cpionel) for his | serene disregard of all matters of military etiquette. His power ower his Arabic followers was due to his | knowledge of their dialects, his | understanding of their religion, his! tact in settling disputes, and his in- born military ability. The Germans and Turks alike soon | discovered the presence of this young | Englishman among their Arabic op- | ponents in the desert, and, realising | the menace of his mysterious and | amazing successes, put a price of $500,000 upon his head. Needless to | say, this blood money was never paid; | the Turks were driven out of Holy Arabia forever, and Germany saw the' miraged vision of thg Berlin-to-Bag- dad route vanish into the arid wastes | across which the Bedouin forces of | Col. Lawrence drove the disillusioned Turks.
