TROOPS INTERVENE
IN CAIRO DISORDER
Students Raid Survey Offices.
Five Natives Killed and
Twenty Wounded.
By the Associated Press.

CAIRO. Egypt. December 24.-Dis-
orders in connection with the Egypt
ian nationalist agitation broke out
today in Gizeh. a suburb of Cairo
when a party of students raided the
government survey offices. British
troops were rushed from Cairo to
cope with the disturbance. The stu
dents were ultimately elected. The
native losses were given in the early
reports as five killed and twenty
wounded.
While the disorders were proceed
ing in Gizeh. Cairo itself remained
quiet, and no disturbances from the
provinces were reported with the ex-
ception of MINOR troubles at Tanta
fifty miles northwest of Cairo.
The authorities conveyed to Suez
today six followers of Said Zagloul
Pasha, the nationalist leader fortibly
removed from the city yesterday,
whom Field Marshal Allenby, the
British high commissioner in Egypt
had ordered expelled from Cairo.
Cairo bristled with police and
cled over the delta of the Nile. fol-
lowing disturbances.
Said Zagloul Pasha's removal came
as a result of his refusal to obey an
order issued by the military authori-
ties that he and his chief followers
cease all political activity and leave
Cairo.
Although much wanton destruction
occurred during the disturbances. the
authorities claim that the situation
need not be regarded with particular
anxiety. The disturbances appear to
have been confined to Cairo.

TREASURY BONUS
STAND UNCHANGED
Secretary Mellon Still Be.
Iieves Cost Would Be
Serious Injury.

Secretary Mellon formally an
nounced today that the attitude of
the Treasury toward a soldier bonus
had not changed since last July. when
lie wrote a letter to Senator Freling-
huysen of New Jersey. stating that
enactment of bonus legislation would
be serious injury and loss to the
whole community" and would "vir-
tuaily defeat the administrations s
program of retrenchment and econ
omy"
Mr.. Mellon also took occasion to
say today that the Treasury has
not suggested and is not considering
a tax on light wines and beer as a
means of raising revenue to meet a
soldier bonus"
The proposal to raise funds for
payment of a bonus through such a
tax has been discussed in many Of
fetal quarters within the last few
weeks and the Treasury, while never
indicating that it either favored or
suggested such a tax, has estimated
that a levy of that nature would
yield an annual return of approx
mately $500, 1000, 900.

gether with the names of the per-
sons constituting the board of judges,
