Egypt
THE EGYPTIAN POSITION. Time* and Sydney Sun Seevicm. (Received 8 a.m.) London, December 30. The Times, in a leader commenting on the Soudan, stated that perhaps no part of the Empire was regarded more anxiously on the day hostilities began. The manner in which the support of the Egyptian army and the religious heads was secured, represents a remarkable administrative view, reflecting the utmost credit on Lieuten-ant-General Sir F. R. Wingate. Sir F. R; Wingate, is 52 years of age. He saw service with the -several Soudan and Nile expeditions, and was Chief Intelligence Officer to Lord Kitchener’s Staff, his knowledge of Arabic and desert customs being invaluable to the Army in its advance. He fought the remnant of the Khalifa’s followers, the Khalifa himself being killed. Ho succeeded Kitchener as Sirdar and Governor-General of Soudan.
