critics that the abandonment of Dopsola was a
mistake which would have to be repaired. The
activity and daily increasing strength of the

tion OF the government to the serious state Of
aHairs In Egypt, and the fact that the present
DrItisn iOfce In Egypt is totally inadequate to
cope with the formidable army of the new

government has decided to send Il new expedi-
