ADOPT
+ TACTICS OF INDIANS;
BOYCOTT ENGLAND
CBy Associated Press

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Feb. 2i.-ln
declaring a boycott against all goods
of English manufacture, the Egyptians
have adopted the tactics of the Ma
tionalists of India. They have heard
that the Indians have been successful
IN their attempt to boycott British
goods and are endeavoring to use the
same means to bring the British gov
eminent to terms.
AS yet the extent of the boycott is
not clear. However, many Egyptian
merchants are now refusing to buy
English goods and statesmen calling on
Egyptian customers are promptly told
that he wishes no quotations on such
merchandise.
But the great majority of importers
and exporters are foreigners, who de-
sire to continue to buy and sell in the
best markets.
If the Egyptians are able to hold to-
gether on the boycott program and
force the importers to no longer deal
in English cotton piece goods, iron and
steel prducts, the result may be seri-
Gus for English factories in Lam
cashire and Birmingham.
Banks Boycotted
British banks are included In the
boycott. 1t is stated that considerable
sums of money have been withdrawn
from English banks in Egypt and
placed in other foreign banks.
School boys have boycotted the
schools and the native bar association
voted to suspend all work.
1t has been proposed also to restrict
the cultivation of Egyptian cotton,
which would be of interest to the cot
ton growers of the United States. It
has even been suggested that the
Egyptians should refuse to export
onions to England which now takes SO
per cent of the Egyptian onion crop
Certain members of the Effendi
class, Egyptians of leisure, have an
nounced that they would cease tc
drink English whiskey and refuse tc
wear short-cropped mustaches as the
English do. Various other boycottins
plans have been proposed.

AMERICAN VALUATION
SESSION IN CAPITAL
TONIGHT FOR DEBATE
tBy Associated Pressl


INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 24.-Business
men from all parts of Indiana are ex-
pected TO attend meeting at the In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce to-
night, at which opposing points OF
view regarding American valuation as
a basis for the assessment of import
duties will be discussed
Retailers and manufacturers of the
country are divided on the question.
William E. Humphreys of Washing
ton, d. c., and W. H. Mann, general
manager of Marshall Field and COM
pany of Chicago will lead the discus
sion. Mr. Humphreys, who is an Of
ficial OF the American Valuation assoc
iation. will present the subject from
the viewpoint of the wholesalers, who
are said to think the proposal desir-
able The viewpoint of the retailer
will be discussed by Mr. Mann.
Why Retailers Object.
The opposition by retailers in gen
eral is said to arise from the belief
that with such a plan in effect the
American manufacturer would be able
to advance his prices, an increase
which the retailer would be obliged
to pass on to the public, and for
which, it is held, the retailer and not
the wholesaler would receive the
blame. A recent advance in the price
of some manufactured articles is said
to be attributed by some retailers to
the prospect that congress will take a
favorable attitude toward the Amer
lean valuation plan.
I The argument advanced by the
manufacturers is said to be that such
plan would prevent the dumping OF
merchandise of European manufacture
in the United States at price SO low
that American manufacturers would
be unable to compete

The most wonderful resource, the
children and the young people, she
said, are being thrown away upon so

she stated, are not being given to the
church as they should be, and pointed
out the value it would be to the church
if everyone were tithed. UrginC

er declared, that as a country, the
church needs its soldiers to defend II

keynote of her talk. She quoted
President Harding as saying that the
country and the world look to the
church more than anything else tc
settle the great peace problem, saying
there is an increased need for har
mony and if the church fails, I'VE
cannot expect much results from the
peace conference" This stateme1.t
by the president was made in a com

We MUST NOT THINK
OF ILLITERATES AS
IGNORANT, WARNING
fBv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-It is unfair for
anyone to think of illiterates as ignor-
ant, DR.. A. E. Winship of Boston, told
delegates from IA states attending the
illiteracy conference of middle west
and southern states meeting here to-
day.
Every illiterate from the noun
tains of Kentucky and Tennessee and
the Carolinas was infinitely better
skilled to shoot and dodge shots in
the World war than United States
senators and university presidents" !"
he said. Every one of them was
worth more to the army than all their
critics when it came to handling fire
arms or facing firearms. The keynote
was struck when it was said that they
could not write their families, and, if
they could, their families could not
read what they wrote.
In the mountains on the east of
Kentucky and Tennessee and on the
west of the Carolinas there have been
as good native brains as in Wall
street, Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
The mountains have been full of men
of pure blood brains. Philadelphia
aud Chicago, New York and San Fran
cisco have been as illiterate to the
brain messages of mountaineers as
they are to the Sunday school syndi-
cate lessons of William Jennings
Bryan.
The mountaineers can teach gradu-
ate students much that it would do
them good to learn. The outside
world needs to have these native il.
literate adults SO that they can teach

was that when the labor party had

intimated he could allow only one day
