The 'British and Egyptians
tare going (to Igiet out of the
Amglo-Egypt ian Sudan, unrav
elling 136 yeans of history.
The Egyptians hope to gc
black, in the belief that, unpre
pared for complete indepen
dence, the country will prefei
attachment to Egypt when il
votes liater on.
An Egyptian king in search
of 'gold 'and (precious stones cor
qnered the area in 1820. Bud
Egypt has so march trou'ble with
the natives that Britain, bj
then Egypt’s boss, had to take
over.
In 1874, Britain sent Chinese
Gordon nip the Nile to succeed
Six Samluel Baker, 'another Bril
;ish (governor. Ten years liater £
native rebellion swept the Brit
ish out of Khartoum, and Gor
don was killed. Gen. Kitchener
was sent uip, took over and re
ibuilt .the city along modern
lines, lit wias he who, having
become famous (as Lord Kitch
ener of [Khartouim, died on a
torpedoed ship eatlv in World
Wiar I.
It 'wPjs during these upheav
als in the Sudan that the native
spearmen rushed and broke a
British square, a formation
much like the ancient Mace
donian ibiack-to-back phalanx,
but made up of riflemen. And
Rudylard Kipling, for once sub
merged biis famous imperialis
tic feelings He gave way to ty
pical' British sportsmanship
with the lines:
“'So ’ere’s to you, Fuzzy
Wuzzy, 'at your home in the
Soudan:
You’re a poor 'benighted ’ea
rthen but a
“Fitrst diass Ifiightin’ man.”
The fuzzy-wuzzy to this day

gress. He lives din a land where
man need do but little to sup

which he is accustomed, which

•all right. Most of them, though
(proud and careful of their
herds, want no houses or other
'material possessions to burden
them. Indolence is a Way of
life.
'Now, through the agitations
of a few seekers after indepen
dence, they are leading (great
change. They may even have to
seek a new national name. The
Anglo^Bgytptian Sudan is mere
ly one division of the Sudan,
'which historically stretches
ifafam 'the Atlantic to the Bed
I Sea, and is divided into sev

ia revolt of southern Sudanese
trilbes against the Khartoum
igovernment. The rebels have
offered to surrender, (but only
ito 'the British, 'who are keeping
htandla off and preparing to
withdraw An November.
In the meantime, the Sudan

price of independence, which
is virtually being forced or
