TEDDY TELLS TRUTHS
AMERICAN MAKES BOLD DEcLAR-
ALTON AT GUILD HALL.
IL Is Either Right or Wrong for Eng
land To Be in Egypt, n II 1t Be
Wrong She Should Get Out.

London. - Unexpectedly Theodore
Roosevelt delivered Tuesday what is
considered by Englishman as a severe
arraignment of the nation in it's atti.
tude towards Egypt. Something pict-
uresque was looked for from the form
er president Of the United States, but
in view Of his utterances in Egypt, in
which he gave praise in full measure
to the British government for the de-
velopment that followed British rule
there, it was not anticipated hat he
would revert again to that subject, es-
p~ecially for b purpose of taking Eng
land to task.
But with a franknesS that caused a
stir among those who had gathered in
the ancient Guild Hall to witness the
ceremony of comforting upon him the
freedom of the city of London, Mr..
Roosevelt asserted that while England
had given Egypt the best government
in 1000 years, yet recent events fol-
lowing the assassination of Premier
BOutrOS PaSha had shown hat in GER
tain vital points the British govern
ment had erred and that England must
repair this error if she wished to dc
her full duty.
Either you nave or you have not
the right to remain in Egypt and es-
tablish and keep order. If you have
not the right and have not the desire
to say order, then by all means get
out. But if, as l hope, you fee that
your duty to civilized mankind and
your fealty to your own great tradi-
tions alike bid you to stay, then make
the fact II the name agree and show
that you are ready to meet in every
demand the responsibility which is
u
When a people treats assassination
as the cornerstone of self-gOvernment,
it fOrfeits all rights to be treated as
worthy of self-government. Some ma
ton must govern Egypt, and l hope
and believe that the English nation
will decide that the duty is theirs"
