The only means of transporting troops and supplies was on camels and this was the meth- od employed. About 14,000 thousand of these beasts were used. Unable to drag the heavy gun car- riages through the loose, deep sands, the Turks constructed roads by dig- ging small parallel trenches which would fit the carriage wheels, and filling these tracks with scrubby plants which represented the only vegetable life outside the oases. These wiry plants formed a cushion over which sand was thrown, making a very practicable road for the guns. In some places weher the sand was too loose and deep for this track planks laid lengthwise under the wheels. British In Waiting. Progress was necessarily slow and long before the Turks reached the watered positions which they took up some miles in front of Romani . . . the British were ready and waiting for them. The defenders did not attack, for it was the plan to draw the invad- ers on to an assault, if possible. Gen- eral urray decided 'that he would wait a certain length of time and then force the issue if the Turks had not advanced. It scemed almost Ilke a forlorn hope that the Turks, with | their astute German leadership, would be led to an attack on the Romani po- sition, for the whole country in this section is covered with great steep dune: some of which cannot be climbed in places because of the slid- ing sands. All these dunes were well protected by the British. However, as had been hoped, at midnight on Au- gust 3 the Turks began the attack which ended in complete disaster for them on August 5 .

Others think they misjudged the Brit- ish strength and hoped, despite the difficulties presented, to take the posi- tion and establish a base from which they could wory against the canal. However, that may be, they were clev- erly drawn into the sand dune trap. They tought bravely and their artil- accurate and water since they had to advance from their base laden as lightly as possible. Both sides undoubtedly underwent al- most the limit of human endurance from the great heat. The climax of the battle aws the charge of the An- zac light horse, who arrayed them- selves down upon the Turks who were straggling forward in the sandy trap, and were defenceless against the ter- rible onslaught. (Paragraph deleted by ceneor.) The general opinion is that the Turks must have proven to their own satisfaction that while they might bring troops across the desert, vet lery shooting was very effective in places, but no body of at- tacking troops could hope to fight their v through these dunes when op posed by artillery, machine guns, ~av- alry and entrenched infantry. try to take ti nabla position a matter of consider- { able speculation.

For this reason, it is belleved, that they will not venture to attack again in force during the summer . A Turkish prisoner of war, a major who was captured at Romani, gave the correspondent an explanation of the Turkish expedition. The major declared that it was merely a recon- noitering force sent out to pave the way for a real advance which would take place shortly . The 14,000 man were to size up the British strength and make preparations along the way for the bigger army which was to fol- low.
