BAXTER DOUBTS WISDOM REAL
ESTATE BOOM IN MAINE; AGAINST
TAX TO ADVERTISE ATTRACTIONS
RESIGNATION OF
EGYPTIAN PREMIER
MAY SOLVE AFFAIR

London. Nov. "a (By A. PA So
luton of the Egyptian trouble, which
appeared obvious from the outset
provided an alternate government to
that of Premier Zagloul Pasha could
be found. a possibility which many
persons doubted owing to the tre-
mendous hold ZagIoul has upon his
people and parliament. now seems in
sight.
Having complied with those Of the
British demands in connection with
the assassination of Major General
Sir Lee Oliver Stack. the sirdar.
which his government considered
justifiable rs satisfaction for the
murder, while rejecting those he con-
sidered an unjustifiable. Zagloul has
resigned. in order. as he himself ex-
planned it, to avoid exposing his
country to further dangers arising
from the deplorable crime.
This is taken to mean that the new
Egyptian cabinet will be in a position
to yield still further to the British de-
mands without suffering loss of pres
tige.
Field Marshal Viscount Allenby,
British high commissioner in Egypt,
however, continued to apply firm
pressure on the Egyptian government
up to the last moment. The big in
demnity-500000 pounds Sterling
was paid today, but payment being
accompanied by another Egyptian
note of protest against the British
political demands, Viscount Allenby
Immediately countered by informing
Zagloul Pasha that British troops
would occupy the customs posts OF
Alexandria, which was later done.
Thereupon Zagloul resigned the
premiership and Zirwar Pasha, a
| more moderate statesman. undertook
to form new government at the re-
| quest Of King Fuad. Zagloul has
promised to give his full support to
the new ministry.
The British government continues
| to make various military and naval
dispositions with Il view to being
prepared for any possible contingen
cy. Official circles in London, how
! ever, seem confident that the new
Egyptian government will yield on
the remaining points of the British
demands. The fact that Zirwar was
selected to form the administration
| appears to meet with full approval in
| diplomatic cidcles in London.
The seizure of the customs house
| at Alexandria is believed to have
| been made in order to secure the to-
bacco customs revenue as guaran-
| tee for the pensions demand in the
! British note.
