as Newspaper Guild
Pushes Fight.
BY ire Associated Press.

SEATTLE, August 28.-Mayor John
F. Dore agreed today to make his Sec
ond speech for the Seattle Chapter of
the American Newspaper Guild in its
news room strike against the Seattle
Post Intelligencer, which suspended
publication August IA.
The mayor, who bitterly assailed
the Post-Intelligencer and its owner,
william Randolph Heart, in an ad-
dress Tuesday; said he would speak
under auspices of the Washington
Commonwealth Federation at Everett.
Hal Dunleavy of the federation said
an effort would be made to organize
a citizens committee at Everett to aid
the guild, which struck in protest
against the discharge of two of its
members.
Executives Of the Hearst newspapers
held firm in their refusal to deal with
the guild. The guild, backed by the
Seattle Central Labor Council, set
tied down to organizing for a pro-
longed siege.
Logger Is Sentenced.
A Today Jail sentence was given

with a disturbance outside the Post
Intelligencer plant August IA. Detec-
tive Lieut.. Arthur J. Hill was injured
by hurled light plug.
A strike blockade of the Post
Intelligencer which has failed to
publish for IA consecutive days, pre-
vented the trans-shipment here yes

Francisco Examiner, also a Hearst
publication.
About 1900 copies, ordered for
Bremerton and delivered to ferry

James M. Fox, secretary Of the Ferry
Boat Mems Union, said he would not
allow union members to handle it.

At Aberdeen, E. E. Weiland, presi-
dent of the Sawmill and Timber
Workers Union there, said all stores

suspended.

decision of Gov. Brann to make that
race. Dubord was candidate for the
Senate against Senator Frederic Hale,
Republican, two years ago and lost
by only 1900 votes, while Brann was
being reelected Governor by $4,000.
There Is third candidate in the
field for Governor, Rev. Benjamin B.
Bubar, a. Townsendite. What effect,
if any, he will have on the outcome
Is problematical. The Democrats are
hoping that Bubar will poll ten to
twelve thousands votes-and take
them all away from the Republican
candidate. The Townsendites have
some strength up here in Maine. One
OF their number, James c. Oliver, won
the Republican nomination for Rep
resentative in the first congressional
district, which includes Portland.
Oliver. it is true, was in a contest with
10 other candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination. He polled only
about % per cent of the vote cast,
but there he Is, large as life, the bona

cratic gubernatorial nominee, on the
other hand, is q French Catholic.
How far the religious issue will enter
into this contest has not yet been de-
fined. So far, neither side seems to
have brought it up. The Democrats

EGYPT TO ASK ]. S.
TO YIELD PRIVILEGE.
End of Extraordinarily
Sought to Complete
Independence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tine Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 28.-The
United States and IL other nations en-
joying extraterritorial rights in Egypt
will be asked to give them up in order
dence to be re-established in that
ancient nation.
An Anglo-Egyptian treaty is being
made public today in London.
The broad outlines of the scheme
we're agreed upon last Spring. 1t Is
confirmed authoritatively that the next
diplomatic step will be for Britain
to persuade the United States and
other nations to surrender voluntarily
the capitulations they have enjoyed
in Egypt since it was part of Turkey.
A conference for this purpose is the
official plan.
Must Face Native Courts.
Abolition of capitulations will mean
that the 300 Americans in Egypt
plus the annual Winter increase OF
tourists from here will no longer
have right of being tried only by an
American consul on criminal charges
But the mixed tribunals, special
type of court in Egypt, will continue
under the plan already discussed with
foreign diplomats.
The Anglo-Egyptian treaty, after
many years of political pickering anc
futile negotiation, has arisen chiefly
as a British desire to pacify at least
one part of troubled world. italian
aggression in Africa, Arab unrest If
Palestine, Germany's occupation Of
the Rhineland and other disturbing
factors speeded the agreement.
All the Egyptian parties joined ir
a united front in negotiating with
the British for the first time. Students
who led the, rioting in the Cairo
streets last Winter went to the party
leaders and demanded unity. Many
of the students got their ideas Of
liberty in American colleges in the
Fear East.
The strange thing about this pact
Is that Britain did not fear the Egyp-
tians as much as outside influences
IN the Mediterranean area if SHE
CUllll1luCu w WIlllllOlO lllucpCllUeIlCC
The rioting last Winter was mild COM
pared with similar disturbances in
other countries. The Egyptians as a
whole are docile compared to natives
IN other parts of the British Empire
or the Nicaraguans and Filipinos
with whom American military forces
have dealt.
Independence Tentative.
The independence for Egypt is only
tentative as "a threat of war" will
give Britain the right to take over
military control again. Another strange
feature of the treaty is this loose
designation of the conditions under
which independence would end. Con-
ferees expect that Britain and Egypt
will agree without any debate when
there is "a threat of war"
Removal of British troops ano
Planes to the Suez Canal area, under
terms of the treaty, will end a long
cause of friction.
A compromise has been reached in
she settlement of the Sudan contro-
Hersy, which it was feared would be
a stumbling block to the treaty. The
Egyptians, barred from that great
e.lpanse of territory, will be allowed
low to send limited numbers of i'm
migrants there. They may take over
q share of the administration.

The Loyalist fighters had met little

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FORGET?

HCOmeS OF the SCu11mg. Inc raw
material is not asSimilated, and it
does not add to the ShrewdneSS,
strength, charm or forcefulnesS Of
the suffer. Bill remembers golf
scores. Estelle recalls operations.
But what of it? And who cares?
Intelligent, mature minds see
and hear as much .as the stupid
suffers see and hear-are sur
rounded by the same chaos, over
which they cave little control.
But they can control their own
intake-and do. They can, and
do, refuse to waste their time
with idlers-listen to the babblings
and belchingS of fat-heads and
fussers. And, if they find them
selves in such company, they can
and do refuse TO absorb the flood
of trash which Swirls about them.
LEARNED TO FORGET
They refuse to remember. They
have learned how to forget.
They have learned how to
forget not only childish chatter,
but they have learned also to put
aside the fribbling feuds and
frets which most of us heard
to our increasing hurt. They
have learned to forget Sights
and SnubS, inSultS-even delib-
crate wrongs.
For how can it profit anyone
to brood over such things?
You have just so much storage
room. just so much energy. If
you fill your mind with rubbish,
you will have no space for the
worthwhile recollectionS. If you
use your energy to resent or
grieve over the ills Of Yesterday,
you will lack the energy to de-
velop the good Of Today and
Tomorrow.

That was a great war slogan.
It's as great maxim in daily
life. No alien foe is more hos
tile to you than the idlerS you
meet around your own table,
across your office desk or fac
tory bench. No enemy bullet or
bomb is, in the long run, more
dangerous than petty prattle or
peeviSh gossip.
