Moustafa Kamel never lost a whit
of his passionate enthusiasm for his
work. He travelled all over Europe
making friends with statesmen and
journalists. Though his ardor and
his conviction didn't always convince
them, they at least interested them
and made them think. In his in

treated the question of the British oc-
cupation with clearness and vigor
that strongly appealed to his hearers

Moustafa Ka;nel, who now wears the
title of Pasha Though still very
young, he has won eboundless popu-

honor in the Orient and in all the
lands of Islam 1t is safe to say
that the thing his co-religionists adj
mire in him is not merely the gift of
eloquence, which so powerfully inn
presses the Orientals, but more es-

The real greatness of Moustafa
Kamels conceptions concerning the
progress of the new Egypt becomes
apparent when you perceive that it
is his intention to graft modern learn
ing upon the ancient traditions and
the old Arabian learning that ruled
the world for centuries, and thus to
safeguard the pride of his race, for
he is only asking that race to accept
a just return for the gift it made to
Europe in ages long past.
