CONTROL OF RED SEA. EGYPTIAN VIEW. (United Press Association —Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 1 p.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 15. The confidence which the Egyptian Government clearly places on the British Navy lias enabled the Mecca pilgrimage, in which the faithful cross the Red Sea between Suez and Jcdda, to continue to be made. The Egyptian Premier (Hassan Sapry) on Friday instructed all mudirs and governors to announce to the nation that persons desiring to make the pilgrimage should submit an application in the usual way. , Hassan Sabry. by this decision, gives further proof that the necessary withdrawal of British- troops from Somaliland has in no way reduced effective British control of the Red Sea.
