breathe easier when Colonel Roosevelt
has left Egypt While there is only
praise for his fearlessness in preach

that he may go too far and either
disturb the ever-delicate political bal.

the colonial office conducts the actual
administration, has wired Sir Edwin
Gorst, the British agent in Egypt. TO
TRY to avert a repetition OF such a sit

win turn loose all resentment they
have been harboring toward Mr. Roos.

have serious effects.
