EGYPT GIVES IN "

Reports Say That Major De.
 mandS Have Been Met
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 London. Dec. i.--Esypt has agreed to the outstanding terms, previous ly unaccepted, which were laid down following the assassination Of the Sirdar Sir Lee Stack. Messages to this effect, 1t Is learned from au- thorltative sources, have been re- ceiyed from Lord Allenby, British high commissioner in Egypt.
 The situation both ip Egypt and the Sudan continues quiet, according 10 the latest reports from the various newspaper correspondents whose dispatches imply that further trou- ble In the Sudan at any rate. Is im- probable.
 The mutiny Of a small body Of troops in the eleventh Sudanese bat talion is generally ascribed directly 10 the influence brought to bear on the men by their officers, acting In behalf of Egyptian propagandists.
 The full extent Of the casualties among the mutineers. suffered dur Ing their fighting with the British, Is as yet unknown and apparently will not be established until the ruins of the building In which they barricad- ed themselves are cleared away, but some reports indicate that only about a score lie under the debris.
 GA Cairo dispatch on Saturday said one officer and II men Of the mutneers were believed 10 have been killed. the remainder sur rendering with the exception of a small number who were being rounded up by the police. An of- fcta commnnique showed that two British officers, one British physician and two Syrian physicians were killed and nine men Of the ranks wo snded.)
 While itss admitted that the out look In Egypt Is more obscure than that In the Sudan. the belief is expressed that events there are tend ing toward peace and order. The Cairo correspondent of the Daily Ex- press understands that an agree mont has been reached by which the British troops will be withdrawn from the Alexandria customs house. which they recently occupied. This, he adds. would seem to indicate con- ndence In the willingness and abtl- fly of the new premier, Ziwar Pasha, 10 hold down tho extremists and full fll the British terms.

FRENCH OWE MORE
 THAN FOUR BILLION
This Debt Is Principal Subject
 of Discussion

Washington, Dec, l-Develop- ments looking to retuhding of the wartime loan to France formed the chief subject for study and dis cuEsion by the American debt com mission when it convened here today for its first meeting in six months. Questions involved in the refund ing of other war debts to the Unit ed States also were before the com mission but were secondary 10 con- sideration of the French obligation, now amounting in principal and in terest to more than four billion dol lars
 Members of the commission, ac- quainted with the nature Of recent conversations between Secretary Mel lon and Ambassador Jusserand con- corning the French debt, showed un- disguised satisfaction at the trend of developments, In some quarters 1t was believed that at least d starting point for the negotiation Of 8 settle ment had been supplied in the in formal exchange between the sec retary and the ambassador, who is shortly to leave for Paris 10 retire from the diplomatic service of his government.
 Although it has not been dis closed just how far M. Jukserand went In his talk with the treasury secretary, 1t was officially asserted that no definite terms were diScuss- ed, It Is known, however. that Mir.

 The Demands
 The demands to which the Egyp- tan government refused to sccede were three in number being points five. six and seven in Lord Allenby's original note. Textually, they pro- vided that the Egyptian government should: .,
 (5) "order within 2t hours the withdrawal from the Sudan of all Egyptian officers and purely Egyp- tan units Of the Egyptian army, with such resulting changes as shall hereafter be specified"
 (6) Notify the competent depart ment that the Sudan government will increase the area to be irrigated at Gezira from 300,ooo feddans to and unlimited figure, as the need may arise"
 CD Withdraw all opposition in respects hereafter specified to the wishes of his majesty's government concerning protection of foreign in- terests in Egypt"
 Following the Egyptian refusal Of these points the British authorities themselves order the Egyptian troops to evacuate the Sudan and notified the Sudanese government that 1t was at liberty to increase the irrigation as specified In the note. The Egyptian soldlery indicated its willingness to resist forced evac- uation of the Sudan and refused to retire unless ordered by the Cairo government This order subsequent ly was given. and part of the troops are known 10 have left the territory.

INCOME
 GOING UPWARD
Report Tor Year Shows .75S
 Per Cent Increase

Washington, Dec. 1. - Tho postal service has grown steadily in the last year In keeping with tho coun- try's business and has ma naged to affect economies without impair Ing efficiency, Postmaster General New informs President Coolidge in his annual report made public to. day. The postal revenues jumped 7.53 per cent over the previous year and mounted to t377,e4s,T7s, an increase Of sto,1?0,S55 over 1923. Audited expenditures to take care Of the growing business increas sed only 5.i per cent, their total having been s5s7,37s,el5. As a result the annual deficit amounted to only flhi2s.137, reduction of to,6ol,- 227 from the deficit resulting from the previous years operations.
 "As gratifying as this reduction is," says MT. New, 'it Is not the prime consideration in the adminis- traitor Of the service which is, in my opinion, that Of rendering the best service to the public consistent with due regard for cost. 1T the public does not receive a satls,ac- tory service 1t Is no answer to say the expenditures have been kept within the revenues. The present administration conce!vos it 10 be It's first duty to render this sat'stac- tory service"
 No Salary Comment
 The postmaster general makes no reference In his report 10 the ques- ton Of increased salaries for postal employees, a subject which may come up at the short session of Congress MT. New does refer, how ever, to the survey for the ascer- tainment of the cost of carrying and handling the malls, which he says has been completed and will he transmitted to Congress in a special report. Mir. New has stated heretofore he believed there should be a readjustment of postal sal aries but urged, when bills were pending in Congress for increasing salaries, that the results of the cost entertainment be awaited be- fore making changes.
 Suggestion Is made by Mr. New for legislation to permit the post master general to appoint third class postmasters and relieve the President of that duty. The Presi- dent appointed 5,o45 postmasteys of that class last year. These post masters are In the classified civil service and are not appointed for any definite term, changes being made only in case Of death, resig- nation or removal.
 Recommendations
 Recommendation for improve ment Of the postal service, made by Mir. New. include:
 Increase In the interest rate al- lowable on postal savings.
 Charge for a return receipt for registered articles.
 Changes in the fees 'ehargeable for registration of mail and limit ing indemnity to si.ooo.
 Imposition Of demurrage charges

STRONG ARMY PLEA
 IS MADE BY WEEKS
Pictures National Guard as First
 LiDe Of Defense
" The Associated PresA

Philadelphia. Dec. 1. -- The Ma tlonal Guard was pictured ss the first line of defense "in the forum of public opinion" on questions relat- ing to the national defense policy of the country, in an address here to- day by Secretary Weeks at the con- vention of the National Guard asso- ciation.
 The secretary urged officials of the organization and members of the National Guard to use their influ- ence for the preservation of the balanced military policy" worked out In the national defense act and 10 defend the regular army from chronic attack" through which at- tempts were made to reduce its strength year by year, and thus crip- pie Its efficiency.
 If there Is no regular army or if that component tot the army of the United states) has been sapped by a. long period of inadequate appro- priations, until 1t Is insufficient for such q task (holdng the first line of defense)," the secretary pointed out, the hastily expanded National Guard will have to take the regular arnys place in the front line and act as the covering force for the mobilization of the manpower of the country.
 Then the officers and men of the Guard will become the innocent sac riices which the United States oters for failing 10 carry out Its primary duty of insurlng Its own defense.
 This sacrifice can be avoided If the wise provisions of the national defense act Of l9:0 are carried into execution and If each component of the army of the United States Is properly trained for its particular mission as a member Of balanced machine, therefore, say 10 you that the preservation of balanced milt- tary policy is as vital for you as 1t is for any member Of the army Of the United States; and further say that your opportunity 10 influence public opinion fin behalf of the pres ervation of such a force makes you, from a political standpoint. tic nat ural first line of guardians in the forum of public opinion of the ex- istine military policy of the country.
 "I would not have you think that the regular army Is 10 be subjected 10 any acute attack, An acute at tack can be met and usually re- pulsed. l. Is the chronic attack, at tempts to lop of 2oo0 men this year and 5000 men the next, which may weaken the regular army.
 "I. the executive branch Of the government Is 10 convince the coun- try and congress of the wisdom of proposals affecting the regular army, the civilian components Of the army, forgetting If need be, their own tm- mediate necessities, must undertake to educate public opinion in favor of such proposals. That influence your association should help to exert"

on undelivered collect. delivery parcels and return 10 senders pos tsge collect under certain circum- stances.
 Changes in fees on domestic money orders. ... .' Government Ownership
 The desirability of government ownership of postofiice buildings is pointed out by the postmaster gen. eral who said appropriations for postoffce quarters amounted to Si3,275,oo0 for the year.
 The growing postal business and the ever increasing trafiic condi- tons in cities present problem. The passage of mail trucks and wagons in schedule time on the principal streets and through busi- ness centers, where the street con- gestion Is great, has become ex- tremely difficult.
 There appears 10 be-" said Mir. New. "only one ultimate solution that toward which plans for all traffic tend the provision for underground transportation. The practicability' of tunnels and the adequacy of different plans must be carefully considered as they are de- veloped and presented"
 Carelessness in the addressing Of mall Is indicated in the increase in the number Of dead letters. There were 21.s1s.l6s unbelievable let ters received and disposed Of last year. That was an increase of D. 37s,620 of 12.3 per cent over the previous year. By careful work 4,- 243.678 of the letters were de- livered. Enclosures of money in dead letters amounted to s125,997, of which s70.473 was restored to the owners. The nominal value of drafts, checks. money orders, etc., was *S,546,S42.
 Newspaper and periodical mail was heavy during the year, & total of 1,396,516.S45 pounds having been handled. That vas an increase of e9,56s,3ss pounds or 5.24 per cent, over mailing for the previous year. Postage collected from pub fishers on the mailings at pound rates amounted to $23,?5S,254, which was an increase of s65s,sl2. or 2.2s per cent over the previous year. The total weight Of the sd- vertising portions of publications subject to the zone rates were 512,- 21S,e92 pounds, on which sl71.- s36,e25 was collected, an average of S.4S cents per pound. The read ing portions of such publications weighed eo4,2c3.S55 pounds and the postage collected was s9,o69,- 132.
 Foreign malls showed large in- crease, the amount of such matter going abroad having weighed 7S,- 8o4.195 pounds, an increase of Ill., 5o6,so1 pounds, or 17,lo per cent.
