Negotiations will take place with the Powers in this direction as soon as the final agreement is signed between the British and Egyptian Government. Meanwhile, the scheme providing for the closing of the Consular Courts and the transference of their jurisdiction to the mixed tribunals is being proceeded with and negotiations are in progress with the Powers.

There will be no more advisers in the different Ministries, as at present is the ease, but a British official will be appointed to take over and carry out the operations of the Public Debt Commission, and another British official will look after the legislation affecting foreigners. If the Egyptian Government so desire they will be able to ask these officials for expert advice. RIGHTS OF BRITISH OFFICIALS.

By the Peace Treaty arms and munitions here on that eventful morning also became the property of tho free State, and a Security Police Fort was formed. When Sir Reginald Tower arrived he found that thi.s Security Force was efficient and well organised. The Government officials, who are for tha fact that they call themselves Danzigers, persuaded him to allow them to gain so much power that they could now easily outnumber General Haking's little force in a few hours. It is generally estimated that they could raise an efficient force of 13.000 men in 24 hours, Altnougn tne present Security Police nominally only consists of 00 i.

it possesses artillery, mine mruvei, hine guns. telephonic and other technical ordinary police. Since October only 300.000 marks (about 1,670) have been charged to the city for the upkeep of this organisation, so that it is perfectly evident money is coming from elsewhere. Need officers, like their German brothers, behave in the same old autocratic way. and still their German decorstions.

We understand that General Sir William G.C.M.G., K.C.B K.C.S.I., who is at present on his way home from Australia, will anrtointed to the command of the Northern Army of India, a post at present held by General Sir Arthur Barrett, G.C.B..

General Jacob went with the Indian Corps to France in 1914 in command of the Dehra Dun Brigade. He was promoted to the command of the Meerut Division in September, 1915, and was trans erred to the 21st Division when the Indian Corps returned to the East.

He was given command of the 2nd Army Corps in May, 1916, and served with great distinction through Lord Itawlinaon's appointment to the command in India has been expected for some time and will cause little surprise. It haa been known since the spring that Sir Charles Monro, who was appointed to succeed the late General Sir Beam liarap Duff in 1916, proposed to return home this autumn. At the close of the great war it was fully expected that Lord Haig would eventually bo offered the Indian command, which is usually regarded as the greatest prize which can be bestowed on any British soldier. There can be no doubt that Lord Haig could have gone to India had Is? so desired, and the presumption is that he did not wish to undertake a further period of residence in the tropica. The Government of India were always a little nervous about the possibility of Lord Haig's appointment.

They were inclined to recall the and fame might override them with the Home Government if he felt ho deposed.
