General E. H. Allonby, the new com mandar-ln-chief in- Egypt, told a gathering of Egyptian notables today that he would be forced to employ active repression to restore order in Egypt. He said that it had been found Impossible to restore order by defensive measures. . He asked the Egyptians to devise measures to achieve the desired re sults, with a minimum of suffering. He concluded: i "I Intend to do my duty. ' It is tor you to. do yours." WASHINGTON. D. C March 2!). "The proposal under consideration by Brussels that tho historic Egmont Palace be offered as the permanent home of the League' of Nations re calls the career of that gallant and ill-fated Count Egmont, once its oc cupant, who was a conspicuous fig ure in the sorrowful davs of the Spanish inquisition." suvs a bulletin Hist issued by the National Geo graphic Society. ''Egmont's name is inextricably linked with two other heroes of those dark day of the Netherlands, which then included ' Belgium the noble William of Nassau, Prince of Orange, and the bunt Count Horn. ' "Egmont's brilliant victories in the war between Spain and France made him a national hero, but aroused the jealously of the Duke of Alva. Un lettered, but of noble birth. Egmont unwittingly made another dangerous enemy in Jhe learned, .but lowly bom and sycopnntic Bishop of Arras, lat er Cardinal Granvelle. , Sfory of M-Fatcd Count "It was while the Duchess of Par- mo. often called 'the map ".-in putti contsAinore for her mustache, gout and her horsemanship than for any masculine qualities of statesmanship, was regent of the. Netherlands that the cruel, fanatical Philip II of Spain instigated the wholesale burning. strangling, nnd burying alive of here tics ;in his North Sea domain. This, pleasant lady, incidentally was mar ried to her first husband when she was 12 years old, but only obtained a second by wedding a youngster of 13. Vyv- y-'-:-- V- , - "Peter Titelnjan already had been mangling and strangling persons he suspected of herecv. tearing out the tongues of some and roasting others over a slow fire: and a sort of in formal 'union' of executioners hao adopted fixed rates! for torturine. burning, and drowning victims, when Egmont, along with Count Horn nnd the Prince of Orange wrote a ioint Protest to Cardinal Granvelle. This gave the Duke of Alva a pretext to advise Philio to get rid of all three. ; ":. Egmont's Ill-Lurk "Brussels . merchants of the six teenth century lived in luxur nnd entertained sumptuously. So did the noblemen.' . .As"' 'a slight economy to meet the rising cost Of living the Prince of Ora'nee.'upon one. ocaasion. dismissed 28 of his expert cooks; ' At a dinner party -wheiT ewine flowed freely the suggestion was made that dice be- thrown to choose a man who would fit out his servants in livery to burlesque the detested cardinal. The unfortunate Egmont was select ed. Soon his retainers appeared in coarse garments ogray. wearing a fool's-cap on their sleeves.. Hence the famous 'Fool's-cap livery' which nobles soon donned. ' "Philip was compelled to' remove the cardinal. A trip was the pretext for his going.- Brussels citizens dis played' a wit similar to that with which tho Belgians annoyed the slow witted German garrisons in 1915, bv nutting on the cardinal's pahice a sign. 'Fort Sale Immediately.' . "Against William's advice Egmont was sent on a mission to Spain to protest against tho frightful vio lence.. The simple minded envov was dazzled by the rosy assurances or the crafty Philio and returned proud ly bearing scaled instructions' which turned out to be orders for even more drastic persecutions. "Long Live the Beggars" ' "Egmont was at tho wedding of Alexander, Prince 'of Parma, whon n covenant, also disapproved bv Wil liam, was made "in further protest against the 'barbarous and ' violent inquisition.' During a subsequent discussion of a petition to the. duch ess to send another envoy to Spain tha petitioners were referred to as beggars. - Count Brederode, the Pat rick Henry of that perod, sounded the slogan. 'Long live the beggars.' Again Tgmont appeared inopportune ly and, 'with William and Horn, had to to'drink the toast which became a revolutionary .war crv' nnd suggested the distinctive costumes which fast ened uoon the confederates y.their historical nickname of 'the Beggars.' "The clear thinking Prince Willium saw the time for resistance bad come. Egmont. Horn and others persisted in seeking surceasci.: from Philip. William left the Netherlands, return ing to fight gluriouslu another day. Egmont staved and his sincere; but misguided loyalty cost his his head. ' "When the Duke of Alva was dis patched to the Netherland with an armed force armed with the mus kets that were then a novelty Eg-, mont was warned to flee.' Letters from Philip and presents from .Alva again tricked the soldier. Horn and others also were duped.; Egmont re ceived his last warning from a: son of the duke, at whose home ho was dining. But he persisted in his blind trust, accented an invitation to Al va's house. and was thrown 'into prison. " 1 ' - Council of RIood , 'r "Meanwhile the infamous Council of Blood had been set up. Vargas was jdking about the wholesale butcheries, the dropsical 1 Iesscls was snoring at the trials; occasionally arroused bv a nudgq from an attend ant and crving mechanically, .'to the gibbet,' and dozing off again, while the ingenuity of Aivas parasites had devised the exuuisite torture of put ting victims' tongues through -rings, then scorching them, and counseling them not to talk with friends while they awaited tho overworked execu tioners, r : , .
