The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-01-27

Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 81, Via London,
4.20 P. M.-An engagement occurred
yesterday to the eastward of Elkantara,
in Egypt, presumably with the advance
guard of Turkish army, although de,
tails are lacking. The Egyptian losses
were one officer and four men slightly
wounded.
Detachments of Turkish troops have
been sighted at three other points to
the east of the Suez canal, but no fight
ing has resulted except that in the
vicinity of FL Kantara. In this en-
gagament the Turks opened fire at long
range with mountain guns. The British
replied with machine guns and rifles A
British aeropane dropped bombs upon
the Turkish forces near Birmurhadad
inficting losses.
Fighting in this locality indicates
that not only has a Turkish invasion
of Egypt been begun, as was reported
in an earlier dispatch from Athens but
that Turkish forces have penetrated a
considerable distance into Egypt. Ell
Kantara is 2S miles south of Port
Said and is on the Suez canal which,
it is assumed, is the immediate obiec-
tive of the Turkish advance. The ter
ritory to the east of Ell Kantara, re-
ferred to in the foregoing dispatch, is
the northern part of Sinai peninsula,
which extends to the Turkish frontier.

would be thrown out Of court take the
position that II the decision had been
against the railroads there would be no
question about their rights to appeal on
the other hand. they maintain that each
state being a part Of the United states
and the Interstate Commerce commission
a creature OF the United States govern
ment state OF its officers would not
have the legal authority TO step in and
attempt 10 overthrow a decision by this

authority OF the Interstate Commerce

there could not be an appeal.

While the newspapers throughout
the United States we're busily an
nouncing the warlike operations OF
Gen. Sancho Fernandez here, there
and elsewhere that December. II was
a fact that the revolutionary dictator
OF Mexico was really in Washington,
d. c., where he had been peremptor-
fly summoned by the president.
His conference at the capitol was
short and very much to the point. Il
was pointed out with painful decisive
ness to the Senior General Fernandez
that hereinafter he would have TO
make his ragged army respect the
rights OF U. s. A.
The pill that General Fernandez was
thus made to swallow was not sugar
coated, but II unquestionably did him
good. He went down the White House
steps that day before Christmas a
sadder and a wiser man. However
the dictator OF Mexico was a philoso-
pher.
General Fernandez muffied his face
deep in the soft warmth of his fur
collared greatcoat, and started of
down the avenue.
BY and by he came to the business
district where throngs of last-minute
shoppers were bustling about. Snow
had begun to fall heavily-great tieecy
flakes that filled the whole air and,
supplementing the gay holiday decora-
tions and shouts Of street hawkers,

tagious, but 1t

very lonely. He

who would hail him simply as a friend
and not as the celebrated General
Fernandez.
He came to a street corner where
he heard his own name shouted in a
shrill, childish voice close by.
"Huxtree there, people! Huxtree
poiper! Spend a cent and read all
about General Fernandez the Mexican
butcher! He's murderin' women and
babies down there right now! Big
battle at Guaremo; three hundred
killed! Huxtree here, all about the
bloody General fernandez"
At first the dictator scowled; then
smiled queerly and approached the
ragged waif at the newsstand. She
was blue with cold and a-shiver be-
meath scanty rags. Below an old
shawl, her thin, prematurely-aged face
looked wan and pinched.
Genuine pity-an unusual thing in
the dictatOr-seized him as he sur
veyed her.
DO you really believe that this
General Fernandez is as bad as all
that?" he asked her with a whimsical
half-smile.
The street waif stared up at him
suspiciously.
