situation:
The fall Of that solitary figure Cor
dom holding alon the flag Of England in
the face Of hordes of the sons Of Islam
win rcverberaie through every bazaar Of
Cairo and Calcutta. The result will be
long and deliberate abandonment Of re-
spcci for the British government and Of

England will save Gen. Gordon If alive,
