lessness.
Tho expression that pleased his hear
ers the most was his use OF the Arabic
proverb' "Allah ma el saberin izxa
saborn." which means "God is with tho
patient II they know how 20 walt" The
nearest that Mr.. Roosevelt came TO
repeating his Khartoum advice that the
rule of England was proving beneficial

which caused widespread mutterinEs OF
discomfort among the Nationalists was

tho qualities most alien TO good citizen-
ship. The type produces poor soldiers in

eminence.
"It Is Of no consequence whether tho
act was committed IN political or indus
trial warfare, whether the rich hired IL
done and the poor executed it. whether

preserving order or obtaining liberty it Is
equally abhorront In the eyes OF all decent
men and. IN the long run, equally damag-
ing"
