They are also, it is stated, proclaiming the Kaiser as a messenger from Mahomet, and that the Kaiser is mentioned in the Koran, in which he is called Mumbul Islam. A great expedition is being organised, the correspondent adds, against Egypt. Preparations have begun in Asia Minor, where German engineers and and officers have arrived.
