A secret arrangement has been made
by Great Britain and Italy in author
itative circles here. whereby Italy will
throw 100000 men into Egypt If Turkeys
army menaces Cairo.
Italy will take this step. It is added,
for the protection of its interests in
Tripoh. That colony is by no means in
a settled condition. and a Mussulman
success in Egypt might lead to an up
rising In Tripoli which would tempt
Enver Pasha to avenge his defeat at the
hands OF italy three years ago.
Thanks to Italy's action in definitely
throwing In its lot with the Allies
France has recently been able to move
up to the front several additional army
corps of first-line troops, which have
hitherto been garrisoned in the South to
guard against any surprise from Italy
that might have been brought about by
Germans intrlgues In Rome.
England and France have Jointly ad-
