THE EGYPTIAN SITUATION.

OPINION OF “THE MASTER OF

US ALL.”

Turn and Sydney Sun Bcbviom.

1 (Received 8 a.m.) London, December 22. Lord Cromer, in a letter, says that as he: understands it, the action in Egypt merely serves as a connection between Turkey and Egypt. Other collateral questions were wisely left over J . for subsequent consideration, (Evelyn Baring Cromer is the first Earl of the line, which was created in 1901, and was born in 1841, being therefore 73 years of age. He was the maker of modern Egypt, skilled as a diplomatist and administrator, being

associated with Egyptian affairs for a quarter of a century. He was described by Lord Kitchener, after the conquest of the Soudan, as “the master

of us all.” In 1906 he was appointed a member of, the Order of Merit, and upon his retirement in 1907 wap awarded a Parliamentary grant of £50,000, the vote passing the Lords unanimously, and the Commons by a large major- , ity. He is a powerful supporter of the Unionist Free Trade group. His “Modern Egypt,” published in 1908, is the authoritative history of the British occupation).
