eight hours on Kassassin battle
ground, stated that Arab PaSha
had informed the men who partici
pated in that fight, that there were
only two weak British regiments
at The front. and there was plenty
of them to drive the Christians into
the sea. The officer thinks
Arabs army is utterly de-
moralized. He says the Egyp-
tian generals invariably place
their irregulars in front in order
that the regulars may fire upon
them if they show cOWardice. This
statement is confirmed by what was
seen and by the fact that almost all
the prisoners in the hands of the
British are irregulars.
