the eldest living Prince of the family of Mehemet Ali, the historic
liberator of Egypt from Turkish domination. For years past, as head of
various administrative departments in Egypt, he devoted his energies to
improving the lot of the natives, by whom he is called "the Father of the
Fellaheen."

General Oscar Potiorek commanded the Austrian Army invading Serbia. Elated
at occupying Belgrade without firing a shot, he promised his Imperial
master at Vienna that in a fortnight Serbia would be conquered. A
Field-Marshal's baton and the highest Austrian military decoration were
bestowed on him. Within a week Potiorek's army were fugitives. The
Field-Marshal is to be court-martialled.
