FUGITIVE PRINCE
OF EGYPT LOCATED
Ahmed Self Ell Dine, Who
Escaped From Asylum,
Now With Relatives.
By the Associated Press

LONDON. September 16. - Prince
Ahmed Self Ell Dine of Egypt. who
recently escaped from an insane asy-
lum at Hastings. now is resting in
the home of a relative on the sea of
Narnnora, near Consrantinople. This
information is contained in MESA ges
received from the princes attendants
by his friends in England. The eX-
citement of the journey across the
channel to France and thence to
Trieste, where he took A boat for
Constantinople, greatly fatigued the
prince. who will rest a few days be-
fore being examined by leading Turk
fsl1 alienists and close advisers of
Mustapha Kemal Pasha, President Of
Turkey.
Should the prince, who is a brother
of King F'uad of Egypt. be declared
sane, a message from Constantinople
says he will Immediately make claim
for his fortune of more than $4,000
600, which is being held in trust for
him. The two English attendants who
left the asylum with Prince Ahmed
are still with him.
In Asylum Quarter of Century.
The Westminster Gazette declares
that an inquiry is needed into the part
played by the British government in
holding the prince in an asylum in
England for almost a quarter of a
century. This newspaper claims to
have facts which point to a story
mot only amazing in it's romance, but
in the highest degree sinister in its
implications of completely by success
sive British governments"
The gazette alleges that friends who
attempted to effect the release of
Prince Ahmed during the last 20 years
met with rebuffs from the British gov
ernment and the lunacy commission,
which refused to allow the prince to
be examined by two independent spe-
cialists. Further, the newspaper says,
it is stated that the prince was
brought to England by a member of
the staff of the British agent general
in Egypt when Great Britain was
cementing her position there and was
anxious to be on the best terms with
the Egyptian royal household, against
which the prince made an attack.
Sees Investigation Needed.
1t suggests that the British foreign
office knows something of the case
and that the entire matter should be
settled by an official investigation.
Certain eastern bankers, says the
newspaper, have agreed to honor
Prince Ahmed's checks. and if these
are not met with funds now controlled
by trustees appointed by the Turkish
government the matter will be pre-
sented to the League of Nations.

And yet, as compared with the
state of affairs among other kinds of

is not far to seek. Most singers are
Italian or German. Both the Ital-

no such thing as divorce.

his memory of names and faces and
his recognition of mental states in
others.
In the first test. each would be

including for instance, amazement,
horror, disgust, grief. rage, fear and
suspicion. Then the pictures of about
80 persons expressing these mental
states will be thrown on the screen
There will be a number beneath each
picture. In parentheses before each
mental state on his list he will have
to write the number of the picture
which most nearly represents that
mental state.
The second test" he continued lis
designed to measure his memory for
names and faces. Each applicant is
given a slip of paper listing the names
of 10 persons who will be introduced
from the screen. After they have
been introduced. in another picture he
will be shown that these same individ-
uals mingled with 48 other people
There will be a number under each
picture. From the larger group the
applicant must pick out the 10 persons
to whom he has been introduced and
write the corresponding number be-
meath those pictures in the paren-
theses before the name with which
each face properly goes.
The third constitutes a test of
judgment in typical social situations
1t consists of a list of 80 or more
statements with four or five possible
answers to the questions involved in
each case. The applicant must check
the best or most nearly correct answer
to the four or five.
"a typical example of the problem
involved is:
"A Harvard graduate has held a
position as a caretaker on a small
playground for the last five years.
He is most likely
"a drunkard or drug addict;
unusually fond Of children:
unable to adjust himself to a posi-
tion of responsibility;

If the statement is true, the TT must
be encircled; if false, the F" must be
encircled. Some typical examples of
this are:
"All men are created equal in men
tai ability.
One of the surest methods of bring
ing man to your point of view is TO
engage in argument with him.
ANY one who has done much think
ing at all knows that men are not
born equal in mental ability. and the
best way in the world to make a man
find reasons for his stand on a certain
question is to argue with him about it.
Just a little judgment would enable
him to tell whether such statements
are true or false.
