DON'T
MIND BEING BUMPED

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 16.-
Pittsburghers are sadly lacking in
politeness, according to Hanland
Bartholomew, chief engineer of the
City planning commission Of ST.
Louis. here to give an address be-
fore the civic club.
Mr.. Bartholomew said that while
making his way through a crowded
street here he frequently bumped
against a hurrying passerby. Turn
ing to apologize his notions of
etiquette suffered a jar because the
person addressed was fastening Sc
renely on. Even women look aston
ised and a bit suspicious if a man
who has played the role of a batter
ing ram raises his hat and begs
pardon.

There are now 79,700 women en-

of all which employ woman labor
today, as against 24,30O before the

them on some processes of manu-
facture, while another third would
be willing to keep them on but for
opposition from ex-soldiers.

ELECTIONS BEING
HELD IN AUSTRALIA
IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS TO
CONSTITUTION TO BE
VOTED ON

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 13.
elections are being held in
Australia today. Not only will a
new commonwealth parliament be
chosen. but the people will pass
upon proposed amendments to the
constitution empowering the govern
ment to deal with monopolies, profit
teering and b~olshevism.
The opponents at the polls are
the Nationalist and the Labor
party. Their leader is the prime
minister. William M. Hughes. He
is seeking reelection TO the house
of representatives by his electorate,
Bendigo, Victoria.
The campaign has been enlivened
by the entry into federal politics of
Thomas j. Ryan, until lately labor
premier of the state Of Queensland,
who is a candidate for election to
the house of representatives from a
Sydney electorate. If elected it is
surmised hat ultimately he will be-
come the leader of his party. He is
noted in Australia for his sympathy
with Ireland, and for efforts by his
ADMINISTRATION in Queensland to
provide cheap meat for the people.
These efforts took the form Of state
butcher shops and state cattle
ranches.
Should the Nationalists be kept
in power their policy, according to
Mr.. Hughes. will consist of in
creased benefits for returned SOL
diers: anti-profiteering legislation;
improved arbitration Of industrial
disputes; unemployment insurance
and tariff revision.

LONDON LORD MAYORS.
HAVE SANE SECRETARY.
FOR f0RTY-FOUR YEARS.
is EXPERT ON ETIQUETTE AND
Is INDISPENSABLE
FIXTURE

LONDON. Dec. 16.-Lord mayors
of London come and go at the rate
of one a year, but the lord mayors
private secretary, Sir William
Jameson Soulsby, remains a fixture.
He was first appointed to that Of
flee in 1875 and he has just been
reappointed for the forty-fifth time.
He is the one indispensable man
on the lord mayors staff. He knows
just how everything should be
done according to precedent" And
to follow that precedent in all things
without a hair breadth's deviation is
the chief duty of the lord mayor.
1t is Soulsby who tells him how to
do it so as to avoid introducing an
innovation which would be re-
garded as a blunder worse than a
crime. For, be it known, the code
of etiquette by which the official
conduct of the lord mayor is regu-
lated is more rigid than that which
obtains at Buckingham Palace. Each
successive lord mayor after his in
auguration puts himself unreserv-
eddy in S~oulsby's hands and the sec
rotary sees him through. He is the
power behind the throne, the mar
who pulls the strings on ceremonial
occasions.
Foreign potentates who have been
entertained by lord mayors from
time to time have recognized Souls
by's capacity for running things
smoothly. In consequence, besides
being an English knight, he is a
knight of more foreign orders, it is
said. than he can count on both
hands.
The lord mayor that has to get
along without him will have a try
ing time of it. But it is reported
that somebody is carefully under
studying the secretary SO as to be
able to passably fill the gap that
must come some time. for Soulsby is
IS years old.

It impossible that the British en-

are few who would deny that it is
also a world interest, and that the
world interest is best secured by
leaving Egypt under the aegis of a
great civilized power.
But within these boundaries is
a wide and ample field in which the
Egyptians are invited to partici-
pate, and must as time passes on.
participate in an ever increasing
degree in the government of their
country. We recognize the legitim-
acy of these aspirations. We desire
to provide for their satisfaction.
The progressive development of self
governing institutions in Egypt Is an
ideal in which they may share with
us and we with them. 1t is not to
be thought of that a race like the
Egyptians possessing i'll its upper
ranks a high culture and historic
memories should be content with a
role of passive subordination in
the administration of their country.
at will be the object of Lord
Miner and his colleagues, in con-
~sultation with the sultan and his
ministers and representative Egypt

tails of a constitution by which all
these parties shall be able in their
several spheres and In an increasing
degree to cooperate in the manage

assistance and British guidance will

she has been under our auspices
question the necessity of this SUI
pervisilon.

EARL CURzON TELLS BRITISH PLAN
FOR LIBERAL GOVERNMENT IN EGYPT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Is
Great Britain's plans for establish
ing a constitutional form OF gov
eminent in Egypt are set forth in
an official statement made by Earl
Curzon, British minister OF foreign
affairs which has been received here.
Objects Of the Miner Mission which
goes to Egypt to arrange the pro-
posed new government are described
in the statement.
The British foreign secretary an
nounces that it is the intention of
the British government to establish
the largest measure of self-govern-
ment for which Egypt is believed
capable at this time. He states that
the Miner mission is not authorized
to impose a constitution on Egypt
but rather to study the situation and
confer with the native leaders.
In part, Earl Curzon's statement
follows:
1T was in 1914 after we had been
compelled to declare war upon
Turkey that the British protector
ate over Egypt was declared. So
far as this being intended or in
deed regarded at the time as a
high-handed act, aimed at the sup
preston of Egyptian liberties. it
was decided upon by Mr.. Asquith's
government as a much milder and
more generous policy than that of
annexation, which at that time was
strongly advocated by some. Cy-
prus. which had long been admin
istered by the colonial office as
part OF the British empire, was an
nexed. But the opportunity of in
cooperating Egypt in the empire was
deliberately, and l think, wisely re-
jected because it was intended. in
a wide latitude of Opportunity which

fords, to give free scope to the po-
litical aspirations and the s%elf-gov-
erning capacities of the Egyptian
people.
q need hardly elaborate the e a
sons for which Great Britain is COM
PEELED to interest herself in the po-
litical fortunes of Egypt, and is
unable to give any encouragement
to the claim of complete national in
dependence. Quite apart from the
fact that Egypt, if left to stand
alone, could neither protect her
frontiers against external agrees
sion nor guarantee a strong or inn
partial government at home, her
geographical position at the gate of
Palestine, at the doorway of Africa
and the high road to India renders
