Paris. April 24-I understand on
excellent authority that the United
States has recognized the British pro-
tectorate over Egypt. This step seems
attributable 10 efforts OF the Egyptian
Nationalists to make a play on MI.
Wilson's fourteen points against the
British possession OF Egypt.
President Wilson is understood to
have every sympathy with the idea Of
the gradual evolution OF Egypt to
some form OF representative OF autono-
nous government. At the same time
he recognizes the great services rem
dered TO Egypt by the British admin
! shed and outrage are not the methods
by which a people can prove their
political maturity. Hence his recogni-
ton OF the British protectorate is a
hint to all whom 1t may concern that
! he does not wish his position TO be
| misunderstood.
| News from Poland shows the pros
poets of DanziS not becoming a part
Of Poland is regarded by the Poles as
disastrous. Their feeling on the sub
! ject Is tumultuous. This is the i'm
preston gathered from extracts from
| Posen and Warsaw newspapers and
| confirmed as the Polish opinion in
France.
1t is feared that if Premier Paderewslsi
does not succeed in obtaining Danzig
the outburst OF feeling which would fol-
! low the failure of his diplomacy would
compel him to resign. Tho country then
would be left in the hands OF a party
government, since Paderewski alone has
been able TO unite all sections OF po-
| litical opinion.
First hand evidence is now available
! OF the methods TO prevent expression OF
the feeling OF the Polish population OF
| Danzig and make IT appear that the
town protests violently against tho idea
OF becoming a part OF the Polish domain
A young Polish lawyer has arrived in
Paris with two companions after escap-
ing from DanZig on foot by stealth a
| fortnight ago. The Germans refuse tC
grant the Poles passports. lie reports
the Germans have declared a sort OF a
state OF siege under which a house &c
! house search has been sanctioned anC
all meetings using any language other
than German is prohibited, Numerous
other restrictions have been imposed OF
the Polish population.
The Germans have been collecting al
many protests as possible against th'
attribution of Danzig to Poland. Thes,
protests doubtless will be produced b,
the German delegates at Versailles
They are signed by the German munici
pal officials for the rest OF the com
munity.
Thus the Germans can produce pro
tests against Polish rule from the towr
of Danzig. which has 5000 Inhabitants
OF which 500 are Germans, mostly on
cials and their families, and they car
produce protests from Karthaus, whic,
has roughly 5000 inhabitants, abou
1000 of whom are Germans. In Danzij
itself the municipal authorities refuse I,
associate themselves with the protest
though one was signed,
