ers. When he calls them together
diers is now open, they all agree that
he is right.
Abdullah is about fifty years old
the son OF a poor shepherd of the
Habi Sulieman Ogaden When he
was eighteen years old he married
into the Dolbahanta Ali Gheri. At
this age he showed that he was al
ways looking out for the main
chance. for he sold all the herds that
his wife brought him and went to
school at Berbera, where he became
versed in Islamic lore and learned
Latin from a Catholic missionary
He even went so far as to read
Caesars Commentaries in the orig
inal and his subsequent campaigns
showed that he had high opinion OF
the Roman as soldier. When he
was twenty years old he made his
first pilgrimage to Mecca.
The most interesting campaign con
Quoted against the Mad Mullah was
one elaborately planned by the Brit
ish foreign office in 1902, with the aid
Of Italy and King Menelik. The
British expedition was in command
of Brig Gen Eric Swayne, then
colonel with tan years experience
in Somaliland So well was the eX-
peditiOn planned that it seemed impOs
sible that the new mahdi could es'
cape. But the crafty African was not
to be taken so easily, and worried
and harried the Italians, British and
Abyssinian forces in a most exasper-
ating manner. When the smoke OF
battle cleared away it was found that
the expedition had cost the British
government 100000 and the Mad
Mullah was still his own master.
Abdullah has about 10000 men, all
of whom are either well trained to
modern warfare or fatalists OF the
usual Mohammedan type. About half
have modern magazine rifles. He
has 10000 cavalry, he manufactures
his own powder and bullets, and is
burdened with no commissariat. FIT

300, 900 Mohammedans, are apparent
