SAID ZAGLDUL PASHA
EGYPTIAN STATESMAN
FREQUENTLY REFERRED TO AS
THE STORMY PETREL OF
EGYPT; WAS MILITANT
LONDON, Aug. 25. (/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 Co.
Said Jagloul Pasha, frequently re
ferred to as the stormy petrel of
Egypt, attracted world-wide 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 a 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 ^'ar it was found that his
influence was so great and the secret
organization he controlled, so per
vasive, that the British had great
difficulty in finding any Egyptian
who would dare take high office in
the government.
Said Zagloul Pasha was born in
1860 at Biana, in the Delta. He was
graduated from the University of A1
Azhar and afterwards studied law.
i He became counsellor of the Native
i Court of Appeals in 1893 and served
in that capacity several years. Ap
| pointed minister of education in 1908
| he served two years when he was
made minister of justice. He was
elected to the legislative assembly
;in 1913 and was chosen by the as
sembly as one of its six vice-presi
dents.
