This is the most recent photograph
of tbs new khedive Of Egypt, just
placed on the throne by the British
government. The failure of the
Turkish forces, which had threatened
to cross the Red Sea, leaves him
secure in his new place. The old
khedfve has sided with Turkey in the
great war, and he has had to quit his
throne. For weeks the Turks threat
iened to march on Egypt and unseat
the new khedive. A few days ago
the delay was blamed on the fact
that the old ruler found it necessary
to go to Berne, Switzerland, for a
surgical operation. Now, however,
it has been admitted that the ex-
pedition will amount to nothing.
