...Sultan of Egypt on October 9, 1917, and married Princess Nazli on May 24, 1919. He is a man of large stature; handsome after the manner of Egyptians; inordinately proud of a mature Kaiser moustache; of considerable intelligence, but with pronounced leanings to despotism, believing that his subjects should heed the Spanish proverb: "With King and Inquisition . . . hush...
