IRON HAND IN EGYPT
Lord KitChener's Sway in Nile
Country Is Masterful.
Speaking Of Education Of Youths, 1--WE
DON'T Want Them to Get Their
Hands Soft" He Says-HoIds
Some Unique Views.

Cairo. Egypt-No explanation OF
the government of Egypt is adequate
without the presentation of the name
of Lord Kitchener. who since his APP
pointment as British agent in October
of 1911 has been increasingly the
unique and dynamic force behind all
the government agencies, alike the
protector of imperial English interests
and the humanitarian Regeneration of
the land he loves. writes Clayton SedS-
wick Cooper in letter from Cairo to
the Christian Science Monitor
He came to Egypt to assist in the
completion of the splendid work of re-
generation commenced by Lord Gro
mer. He himself had before contrib
uted to the problem as the soldier
leader in Khartum, the conqueror OF
the Khalifa, sweeping out of the Su-
dan the fanatical dervishes, nor did he
arrive one moment too soon to arrest
the tide that was surely carrying
Egypt backward from the high and
superb craftsmanship of Lord Gro
mer's regime.
The presence of an iron hand was
needed and not few Of Egypt's lead
ers were unconsciously turning in
their minds toward Kitchener. As
the conversation of a certain Egyptian
officer who commanded brigade al
Omdurman infers: Lord Kitchener Is
a soldier. He is a man of iron. He
made a clean sweep of the Sudan. He

cal rather than the theoretical educa-

was inclined to agree with the Egyp-
tan opinion.

official who commands an army to
whom the name Kitchener" is an in
centive similar to that of the name
Napoleon" to the old guard. and who
Pin a comparatively brief time has
gained the confidence of the Egyptians
who have most at heart the country's
good. will receive the unstinted sup
port of the home government in the
progressive and highly unitarian
measures which he is now promulgat-
ing for the new Egypt.
