BRITISH AIR FORCES
END 81 YEAR REIGN
OF AFRICAN RULER
fRy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Complete
destruction of the power of Mad HUI
lah." native ruler OF Somaliland, Al
RIGA, and for "a years a problem to
British authorities, was accomplished
within three weeks time by less than
200 airmen and eleven fighting planes,
according to an official report on the
operation just received here. Bombed
out of their strongholds. the natives
were pursued and all the leaders ex-
cept Mullah captured or killed. the re-
port stated.
The air expedition was sent out in
1919, but details were kept secret 1t
was the last of many punitive forces
sent to Somaliland where continual up
risings have Involved the British in
military operations at frequent inter
walls since 1885.
Cost Delays Action
The situation was SO serious in 1919,
the report stated, that some military
action was necessary, but the govern
ment hesitated because of the cost, es-
timated at $25,000,00O, of dispatching
5000 troops to re-establish order. In
the emergency the air force was called
upon and 80 officers and 1854 men, in
addition to the medical detachment,
went out. An advance party, mas
querading as engineers in search of
oil wells, landed and set up a base.
Then the machines appeared, and for
a week Mad Mullah's stronghold in
the interior was bombed and shot up,
while the native camel corps cooper
ated, holding line about the scene.
The Hullah finally broke through
this line, heading south, and the
planes pursued for two weeks more,
bombing and shooting up the fleeing
natives, scattering their stock and ut
terly destroying the power of the rebel
leader. Thus the empire for the first
time in "a years was left in peaceful
possession of the country. Two cas-
ualties in the camel corps were the
only British losses

One Is so accustomed to stories of poverty, opposition and discourage ment that it is a pleasant surprise to learn that the greatest living so- prano underwent no such stormy period. Her precocity was such that liner masters told her she had nothing to learn and when she was taken to the principal of the Conservatorie she was already prodigy. Here is her story:
