Folk Charges England
 Has Seized Egypt As Possession Of British
IN BRIEF FILED WITH FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE FORMER GOVERNOR AS
 SERTS COUNTRY HAS BEEN TAKEN
 UNDER GUISE OF FPROTECTORATE.

Washington Aug. 1S-In a brief filed today with the Foreign Rela- tions Committee of the Senate, Joseph w. Folk, formerly governor of Mis- souri, counsel for the Egyptian com mission, charges that England, un- der the guise of a protectOrate over Egypt, virtually has seized that coun- try as a, British possession" that 'in an annex to the peace treaty the status of Egypt would be made a international question" and beyond the jurisdiction of the council of the League of Nations, which council the Egyptians desire to pass upon the status of Egypt"
 The document sets forth that the original occupation of Egypt by British troops beginning in 1882, was claimed by the British government to be merely temporary for the pur- pose of suppressing "rebels'' and col lecting debts due Europeans The British government, MT. Folk says, pledged Egypt and the world that this occupation would be only tenn porary.
 After giving a resume of the po- 1iticaI History of modern, Egypt and the alleged decades, the BrleI re- cites the story of ''the killing of 800 and the wounding of 1900 Egyptian natives last April in the streets of their cities while holding demonstra- tions for freedom under the self de- termination clauses of the peace treaty."
 MT. Folk, who formerly was solic- itor for the State Department, and now represents the commission which was named by the legislative assembly of Egypt, a majority of whom were elected by the people, he says, calls attention to the fact that Egyptian troops, numbering 100000, fought on the side of the Allies to make. as they believed, the world safe for democracy" and for the ~rlght of national self determination for all peoples"
 Egypt before the war, he says, was independent for all practical purposes though under the nominal sovereignty of Turkey and subject to an annual tribute to Turkey. On December IS, 1914, it is stated, Great Britain re-

moved the ruler of Egypt and ap- pointed Prince Hussien as Sultan, "ostenstbly as q war measure and assumed by the Egyptians to be such"
 When the time came for making peace, MT. Folk observes, "the Egyp- tian people naturally concluded that since, under the League of Nations. they would be preserved from exter- nal aggression the pr0tectorate of Great Britain would De removed. But they were doomed to disappoint- ment."
 The Egyptian executive assenbly's commission, on the way to Paris to present that country's claims, it is charged, was '1nterned by order of the British government upon reach- ing Malta Released upon the rec ommendation of General AIlenby, it is said, it reached Paris "only to find. with amazement that the recognition of the British protectorate over Egypt had been written into the treaty."
 In conclusion, the brief states:
 The condemnation of Egypt with out hearing before an international tribunal, if one is established, would mean the continued subiection of Egypt to British bondage and contin- ued moving down by British machine guns of these liberty seeking people, who fought with America, to make the world safe from military autoc- racy."

LABOR SURPLUS
 ANTICIPATED BY
 FACTORY MOVING

Out of the labor difficulties of the past weeks, two features seemed to stand prominent today and both are of utmost importance to the entire city. First, il was conceded that the labor unrest is on the wane, and the prospect of settled conditions for considerable time seem bright. Sec Ond, it was admitted by General Manager George S Hawley, of the Bridgeport D1anufa cturers Association that industries of the city could not absorb the labor surplus created by the Graphophone closing and there Is period of unemployment ahead for a considerable number of work CTS, if the factory leaves the city.

WANTS TO GET HER SISTER OUT
 OF SANITARIUM Claims Husband Kidnapped Mrs. Meader and Kept Her Confined. PATIENT FOUND
 INSECTS IN MILK Declares She Got Along Finely With Inmates of
 Institution.

'T was kidnapped, judge" declared Laura P. W. Meader of New York in the Common Pleas Court this morning when she appeared to ask that she be released from B1yth- wood sanitarium, Greenwich, where she was confined at the request of her husband
 "I was walking along Riverside drive" continued Mrs. Meader, "when
 my husband left me to get a taxi. When he returned he told me he was taking me to the house of a friend and then for a ride in the country but we rode to Greenwich"
 Mrs. Meader claimed she was de- tained in the sanitartum against her will. She said she found insects in the milk served to her that the food was not good that she had but one change of clothing when she was first sent there and that she was forced to take sleeping potions at night.
 The patient denied she Is violent and declared she got along well with other inmates of the sanitarium. "Why, the lady across the hall calls me My Lady of the Flowers, and I cali her My Lady of the News papers," she said. Mrs Meader als,. mentioned that she called another inmate My Parisian Model"
 Mrs. Meader was brought into court in haibeas corpus proceedings brought by Emma P. W. Hubbard of New oYrlz. sister of the patient The sister wants Mrs. Meader released. She said to Judge Walsh, "I have lots of money. I can take care of her.
 God will punish everybody who is wicked,' she continued, glari ns at Mrs. Meader's husband. who was in the court room.
 Dr. John F. Hardman of the sanf- tarium said Mrs. Meader was com mitted to the institution by the Green wich Probate court last June. He said she voluntarily signed a card stating she was willing to remain in the sanitarium. It is claimed by her husband that Mrs. Meader's mental condition is such that it would be dangerous to allow here to leave the sanitarium.
 The hearing was resumed this after noon.

TO RANSOM AVIATORS HELD IN CAPTIVITY:
 LANSING SENDS NOTE

Sunday, and placed 1t at the disposal of the military authorities
 After eight days of suspense since the aviators patrolling the border dis appeared, messages were received by the military authorities at Maria Texas yesterday demanding payment of the ransom in gold to Dawlins Kill patrick, of Candelaria, Texas, before tonight or the Americans would be killed, according to the message. An other message, signed by the aviators, accompanied the demand for the ran som, in which they stated virtually the same facts.
 They also sent messages to their relatives in Strathmore, Cal, and Hutchinson. Minn., urging them to see that the ransom was raised at once. Another message was later sent to Candelaria, Texas, addressed to Dawkins Fitzpatrick. an American and signed by one of the bandit band saving they would kill the aviators if ican military force were preparing to pursue the bandits.
 Replies were received from the parent Of Lieutenant Peterson stat ing they would furnish the ransom demanded for release of their son and his companion if the government failed to furnish the money accord ing to message from Maria. These replies were imm ediately given to a courier who attempted to reach the rendevouz bandits south of the bor- der.
