ABSTRACT
I f the Arab leader seemed to be absolutely indifferent as to what went on in Kitchener’s camp, the Englishman was keenly alive in regard to what was transpiring in the enemy lines. So well informed were the Egyptian Government forces that Major Wingate, who had charge of the Intelligence Service, was able to issue to every officer in the Khedivial Army a plan of the Khalifa’s Firket arrangements, a list of the Emirs and the troops under their command, and a memorandum of their organization and usual dispositions.
