OHAMMED AHMED, who called himself El Mahdi, "The Expected One," was racinc across the Anglo- Egyptian Sudan, gathering up slaves, harassing the British garrisons, pillaging the towns in his path. Into this turmoil, in 1885, went Maj.-Cen. Charles George Cordon, famous British commander. Known as "Chinese Gordon" for his heroic clean-up of rebels in China, joke of the British general staff because of his religious fervor and human treatment of captives, Gordon made himself more disliked when, before entering th Sudan, he asked for permission to hire Zobeir, an Arab criminal chieftain, in his campaign jagainst El Mdi. While Prime Minister Gladstone Glad-stone puzzled over Gordon's strange request, the daring commander marched into the hot desert. He armed for Khartum, capital of the Sudan, instructed to evacuate' the garrison. gar-rison. 1 ' V There Gordon waited for Gladstone's reply.

Consent never came, and Gordon died in the final assault as-sault on Khartum.', ' Fifty years later.
