paganism and that thai tha of the opening of roads to the coast which in certain districts have been for generations subjected to excessive blackmail and to the plundering of vagabond tribes during the last five years he has collected an army consisting of foot and horse of about men the mohammedan youths wherever reyer rever he goes flock to his standard anxious not only to secure a reward G in the hereafter promised to those who fight for their religion but to carry off the rich spoils of the time which those expeditions that battle for the faith are sure to win it Is said that Samu dues
