Contrary to the Oft expressed BELIEF,

erings Thrift" proved to be sub
jcct OF untiring interest and one re.

changing of ideas in the right way TO
practice Thrift" And, If the opinion
Of "the many" has been prevalent. q
great satisfaction may be derived
from q remark made by one Of ArG.
mores prominent society women TO
this effect-"It is true, perhaps that
Americans are not, by nature, thrifty.
We have never needed to be-or at
least we did not know the need to
be-but now that we do know and do
realize the necessity-we shall become
Thrifty. That is America, and Amer
cas- way Of doing things. We can be
and can do anything that we wish to
~ and do"
Thriftiness does not mean penurious-
ness and the American woman, in
making her Thrift budget makes pro-
vision for social pleasures. realz-
ing as she does that the happy-soc.al
--intermingling of friends, is as es-

but Lawrence knew that II they were

lines OF Bedouins. At sunset Auda

crept up to within 200 yards of the
Turks with fifty mounted Bedouins.
Then. jumping from cover. he gal

Arab chiefta!n. riding in advance,
crashed into their midst, they broke
and ran in all directions, but not be-

Abu Tayfs field glasses. pierced his
revolver holster, hit his sheathed
sword. which he was holding in his
hand, and killed three horses under
him. In spite Of these incidents the
old Arab was delighted, and main
tained afterward that It was the most
ccrking fight he had been in for many
months.
Lawrence. who was watching from
the hfn on the opposite side of the
basin with four hundred Bedouins on
camels. dashed down the slope as fast
AS The camels could carry them and
charged into the midst OF the panicky
Turks. For twenty minutes one thou
sand Turks and five hundred Arabs
were mixed togethed in wild. fren-
zied mass. all shooting like mad The
Turks had made their fatal error in
scattering. as Lawrence had surmised
they might do, and the battle ended
in massacre. Lawrence told me that

Lawrence explained the plight Of
the Arab troops to Admiral Wemyes
who imm mediately sent a cruiser filled
with food to Akaba. Admiral Wemyss
also gave Lawrence and the Arabs
twenty machine guns from his ships
and a number Of ligl. guns. Most Of
them are still lost in Arabia Law
renee received a letter from q war
ship since the war asking him for the
return Of one Of their big cannon. He
replied that he was sorry, but that he
had mislaid it.
Opened Way for Invasion OF Syria.
And so it was that Lawrence the
archeologist, captured the ancient
seaport of King Solomon. where a
battle had not been fought for at
least 1000 years. and won the second
great victory of the Arabian revolu-
ton. opening the way for the inva-
sion of Syria. which has now resulted
in Emir Feisal being acceped as the
new ruler of part of Syria. From
Squabble in Arabia the Shereefian re-
volt changed to q campaign of world
wide Importance directed against the
very heart of the Turkish empire, and
from that time klwrences fore. be-
came the right wing of Ailenby's
army.

vital part in the success of these

Shot Own Mount.
In the charge Lawrence shot his
own camel through the head with his
automatic It dropped dead. and Law
renee was hurled out Of his saddle
and lay stunned in front of it, while
his followers charged right on over
him. Had he not been thrown di-
rectly in front of his own mount he
would have been trampled to death.
Most of the two hundred prisoners
were taken by Shereef Nasir and Law
renee. because the Bedouins dashed
away, thinking only Of loot.
The overwhelming defeat Of the Turk
ish battalion at Aba-ei- Lssan was
the second phase Of the battle Of Akaba-
The third merely consisted OF Law
rence's spectacular maneuver. when he
accomplished what the Turks thought
was impossible, and actually succeeded
in leading his army OF about ten thou
sand Bedouins over the precipitous King
Solomon mountains and down into
Akaha on the morning Of July 6. 1917.
Twenty-Five Hours on Camel Back.

and his army lived on the meat of the
camels which had been killed in the
battle and unripe dates for ten davs
In order to save his army from Starv-
ing, Lawrence jumped on ra>:ng
camel and rode continuously for twenty
two hours at top speed across the noun
tains and desert OF the Sinai peninsula.
Completely worn out by this desperate
ride as the climax to two months con-
tinuous fighting, thousand miles of
treking across one of the most barren
parts Of Arabia, living on soggy, un-
leavened bread and dates, and without
having had a bath for more than
month, he turned his camel over to an

the Arabs TO Join in IN invasion of

the most important was Akaba, the
ancient seaport of King Solomon. be
cause Akaba was the only Sc aDort in
that section Of Arabia, and was the
best possible place TO use as a base
for an invasion of Syria. in co-opera-
ton with Allenby's program
AS an Illustration of how Lawrence
handled his troops in spite of his
complete lack of military experience,
in order to fool the Turks and take
them by surprise he sent a flying
to make q feint against the Turks at
Amman. hundreds of miles north. Just
west of Jericho. They occupied the
attention of the Turks so completely
that the latter failed to discover that
Lawrence was approaching Akaba. 1t
is only some sixty miles from the
head of the Gulf of Akaba to the
Hedjaz railway. and in order to pre-
vent the large Turkish garrison at
Maan. on the railway, from coming to
the Teile1 OF AkaDa, Lawrence per
sonally led flying column in that
direction.
Turkish Post Wiped Out.
Seventeen miles southwest of Maan
his Bedouins swept down on an i'm
portant Turkish post and wiped it
out. The Turks at Maan sent out
crack battalion in pursuit. But the
young Englishman and his band of
Bedouins disappeared in the blue,
swallowed up in the desert haze so
far as the Turks We're concerned. IN

when they reappeared out of the mist

on the railway. Here Lawrence mer-

as he called them. demolished whole
mile of track. and destroyed train.
When the Turkish battalion reached
the post at Fuweiiah. which had been
wiped out by the flying column. they
found the vultures in possession.
The Turks camped for the night in
the bottom of a valley near well at
Aba-el -Lissan, fourteen miles from
Maan, where later I lived with Law
renee and Emir Feisal. Lawrence
meanwhile had left his column of
camel troops and had gone off alone
across the desert to see il he could
locate the regiment. AS soon as he
found the Turks he hurriediy re-.
