EGYPTIAN CITY PROTEST..
Alexandria Doesn't Want Roman
Maiden in Coat Of Arms.

London. March 1.-AleXandria, Eg-
ypt, which has attained uotoricty re-
Gently on account of revelations of
municipal graft, has submitted to the
government coat of arms which has
been subjected TO much criticism by
patriotic Egyptians. The most prom
inent figure i'm the design is a scantily
clad Roman maiden floating on raft
toward the moon. The meaning of the
design has not been explained by the
city fathers, and the people are left
wondering why a Roman and not an
Egyptian maiden should have been
chosen for the chief figure.
Lord Kitchener has reputation for
tacklng any problem presented TO him,
but he has refused TO play Solomon
i'm the present dispute and has referred
the matter To the college of heralds in
London. These experts may be able
to shed some light upon the reasons
for making the Roman maiden SYM
bolical of the city which is now Egg
ypts commercial center and which
was once the intellectual hub of the
world. If they cannot unrayel the
puzzle they will be asked TO submit
a design Of their own which will typ
andria. Some of the opponents OF tho
present design have suggested designs
embracing a burnt library to symbol
ize the past, and a cotton pod for the
future
