SAID zACLOUL PASHA EGYPTIAN STATESMAN
 PASSES IN CAIRO

 EGYPT; WAS MILITANT

LONDON, Aug. B. (P)-The death of Zagloul Pasha, President of the Egyptian Chamber of Deputies and nationlist leader, is announced in a Cairo dispatch to the Foreign Ex- change Telegraph Go.
 Said Jagloul Pasha, frequently re- ferred to as the stormy petrel of Egypt, attracted worldwide atten- tion by his militant agitation for the complete independence of Egypt af- ter the World War and the contin- ual trouble he caused the British government at a time when the en- tire world was steeped in male strom of international politics,
 Expressing his dissatisfaction with the British protectorate over Egypt early in the war, Zagloul, although he remained quiet during the struggle, gathered about him a great secret organization which was backed by strong Turkish and other elements. After the war it was found that his influence was so great and the secret Organization he controlled, so per- Ivasive, that the British had great difficulty in finding any Egyptian who would dare take high office in tho ooyorpnont

 graduated from the University of Al Azhar and afterwards studied law
 He became counsellor of the Native Court of Appeals in 1893 and served l in that capacity several years. Ap-

fate of the species was the same in

chanic, despite the grueling test that
each truck underwent and despite
the fact that each truck carried an
average load OF more than 1000
pounds.
Dependability, Mr.. Downie ex-
planned, was the big thing that de-
cided him in favor Of Ch~evrolets. His
advance guard draws up a travelling
schedule which he must adhere rig
idly TO. His trucks may not break
down enroute lest he disappoint the
youngsters in the next town keyed
up for the big parade. Another fact
or favoring Chevrolets, he says, is
the ease and convenience with which
new parts or service may be OBJ
tanned even in remote country dis
tricts.
His is said to be the largest motor
circus in the world.
