and financial circles of London and

In the opinion of Lord Kitchener
and of his government,' the time for
the coup has arrived. Thus is ex
plained the recent visit of Earl Grey,
the secretary of state for foreign af
fairs to Parts. Kitchener Is reported
as aleady on his way to London to
confer with the Asquith administra
tion in connection with the matter.
It is regarded as not merely prob
able, but rather as well-nigh certain,
that before th end of the year the
Turkish, as well as the Kbedivial
flag, will have disappeared from the
entire valley of the Nile, leaving the
Union Jack to fly In sole and undis
puted sovereignty.
When four years ago Lord Kitch
ener, admittedly England's greatest
soldier and most able administrator,
on his return from India and his
completion of the radical reorganiza
tion of its military defenses, consent
ed to accept the relatively subordi
nate office of British minister pleni
potentiary at Cairo, it was said that
It was because he knew that there
was work of a very important nature
for him in Egypt. It was a task of
a character to induce him to forego
any ambition that he might have en
tertained, either for the viceroyalty
of India or for the chieftaincy of the
imperial staff of the army, that is
to say, for the post of principal mili
tary member of the administration.
That task was the paving of the way
to the definite addition of Egypt and
of the Soudan to the vast dominions
of the British crown, which embrace
at the present momen'. more than a
filth of the entire glob..
Four years ago English power and
prestige were at their very lowest
ebb in the Land of the Nile, owing
to the lamentable weakness and in
competency of Sir Eldon Gorst. Mat
ters had reached such a pass that
English advice was spurned, English
authority derided, and any expres
sion of the views of King George's
government treated with contempt.
Lord Kitchener realized at the
time of his appointment, in the sum
mer of 1910. what any immediate
attempt to incorporate Egypt and
the Soudan into the British empire
would involve. lie appreciated the.
necessity of quality paving the way
toward any such coup by tiie re
sumption of England's grasp upon
all branches of the Egyptian admin
istration, by the revival of the for
mer loyalty of tlfe Egyptian troops
to their English instructors and ofll
cers, and. above all, by the restora
tion of British prestige throughout
the entire Land of the Nile.
This he set to work to accomplish
with that same methodical, system
atic, carefully calculated, and de
liberate manner by means of which
he prepared the way to his recon
quest of the Soudan from the Derv
ishes in 1S98. And he has accom
plished the first part of his task, that
is to say, the preparation for the
annexation of Egypt, wonderfully
well.
Even the German press, which
formerly was so full of abuse of
British methods in Egypt, is enthu
siastic In its praise of Kitchener, de-j
daring that he has once more proved
the old-established axiom of those
who possess real experience, and not
mere superficial acquaintance, with
the east, to the effect that the Ori
ment, and that the only successful
ment, and thta the only successful
method of administering his des
tinies is by a benevolent despotism.
The incorporation of the Valley of
the Nile in the British empire Is the
natural and inevitable consequence
of France's acquisition of the Em
pire of Morocco, and of Italy's con
quest of Tripoli, and that Kitchener
should have become the chief execu
tive of this process of annexation,
which will have the effect of adding
400.000 square miles and 10.000.000
of population in Egypt alone to t he
British empire, and near a million
square miles, with a population rough
ly estimated at 4.000,000, in the Sou
dan, is calculated to enshrine his name
in the niches of English history among
those of the other great builders of
that vast British empire on which the
sun never set3.

Lord Wimborne being carried on

victory.
New York, June 22. There is no
happier man in America today than
Lord Wimborne, the sponsor for the
English polo team which won the sec
ond consecutive victory June 16 from
the American team, and took from it
the international polo cup.
It cost Lord Wimborne a round
half million dollars to bring his team
and ponies to this country, but the
victory which his tea mi has won is
valued by him at a higher price Than
the sum expended
The photograph shows Lord Wim
borne being carried on the shoulders
of happy Britons to the club house at
Meadow Brook where the games were
played. The ovation which he receiv
ed was probably. the greatest ever ac
corded any man at the end of a sport
ing event like that of the international
polo match.
The international games were
source of great revenue to the Polo
association. It is learned on goody
authority that after all debts have
been paid, the treasury of the Polo as
sociation will be close to $70,000 bet
ter off. This will be spent for ponies
and to help pay the expenses of an
American team when it goes to Eng-
4i

MAN INCENSEO AT
LOSS OF HIS GAR
South Rock Island Farmer, Fin
ed for Law Infraction, Says
Police Must Find Auto.
The night officers of the Rock Island
police force, after arresttng Mike Fitz-
gibbons, a South Rock Island farmer,
for violating the vehicle law, were un
able to apprehend the youth who later
Saturday night stole his automobile.
Fitbglbbons drove to this city in the
afternoon. During the evening he was
arrested because the electric lights on
the car were not burning. He claims
that the batteries had become weak.
He was fined $10 and costs, having
plead guilty.
He later became indignant, however,
when the .police did not -find the ma
chine, which had been stolen. After
arrested he left a bond at the po
lice station for his appearance in po
lice court this morning and drove
away. He stopped hi a saloon, leav
ing the car in charge of a youth.
When he returned to the curbing a
short time later, the machine was
missing. The police were furnished
with an ample description of the auto.
Its number and make, but have not
been able to find It as yet.

Mr. McCall came here two and a

It is almost certain the Americans
will challenge for the trophy. It is
too early j-et for any definite action
but just as soon as H. L. Herbert,
chairman of the committee of the
Polo association, can leave his room,
where he is confined by an attack of
ptomaine poisoning, there will be a
conference and the subject of a chal
lenge discussed.
It Is probable that Harry Payne
Whitney will captain the team which
will go to England after the cup. His
friends will ask him to do this. WTith
out a dissenting voice, the poloists of
the Meadow Brook club declare that
if he had been in his old' position at
No. 3 the Englishmen would not have
won the first game by such an over
whelming score and the Big Four
would have had a much better chance
to win than the American team as it
was made up in the first game,

OYSTERS LIVE AND DEAD.
And the Big Difference It Makes When
They Ar0 Eaten Raw.
Speaking about keeping hotels, Sim
eon Ford, who won fame and fortune
that profession, had this to say
about the succulent oyster:
People have come and sworn to
me that we had the finest oysters in
the world. Now that was all tommy
ret.- We had the same oysters any one
else could buy, although we always
bought the best we could. But there Is
this about the oyster: When he is good
he Is very, very good; when be is bad
he is very, very bad.
There is a whole lot of difference
between a dead oyster and a live one.
When an experienced opener puts his
knife into an oyster he can tell in a
second if the oyster Is really alive.
He can even tell by the resistance
whether the oyster Is in prime condi
tion or only fair. If the oyster was
