To confess his crrancy is all the moro

what he had taught for years 70 the
youth at Princeton about the initiative

"boSh." The cooked hat" letter is also
to take its place among the indisCretions
of his salad days. for If Mr.. Bryan has

feet Of transports safely through the
Sucz Canal and along the Egyptian
coast and effecting a landing in eyre

superior Italian fleet, which would be
constantly Informed Of its progress,
would seem TO be rather fantastic. II IS

supplies from the Gulf of Akaba or some
