CAIRO, Egypt March 2s.-Colonel
Roosevelt delivered an address before
the students Of the University of Egypt
today. He was cordially received and
at the conclusion of his remarks there
was much applause.
The general opinion is that the
speech will have a good effect on the
country generally. Mr. Roosevelt, on
entering the hall of the university,
found it crowded with Egyptians, Off
GERS, students and women, who began
hand clapping the moment he appeared.
Prince Ahmed Fouad, president of
the university, and an uncle of the
khedlve, introduced Mr.. Roosevelt with
brief speech In French.
Responding to the welcome, Mr..
Roosevelt expressed his thanks, but
said his address was intended only for
the students of the university. AS a
man who spoke frequently he warned
his auditors TO have nothing to do with
the man who did not make good his
words by acts.
The speakers reference to the
assassination by a student last month
of Boutros Pasha Khali, premier and
minister OF foreign affairs, as a calam-
lty TO Egypt, and his denunciation of
.he assassin was received with great
applause.
Colonel Roosevelt, in part, said:
