The Prime Minister, Nahas Pasha, impressed by what he saw in the summer in Berlin and Rome, wants to create a dictatorship for himself. No one who ventures to express an opinion contrary to his own is tolerated. Hence, even Nokrashi Pasha, one of the organising powers of the party, was expelled from the Wald for disagreeing with certain actions of the Cabinet, and the same fate awaits the President of the Chamber, Ahmed Maher Bey, another stelwart.

Meanwhile, the affairs of State are almost at a standstill, for the supreme chiefs are entirely absorbed with their political position and, of course, the men follow the lead of their masters.
