 One thing which especially burns them up is General Giles instruction to Americans in Cairo last month that there should be no celebration Of the 4th of July. The General sent out word that celebration of American inde- pendence from Great Britain might offend our British allies and there should be no dinners OF parties among those under his command.

 Difference is that, between 1898 and today, OyeTton made the mis- take Of leading a vigorous crusade against Roosevelt's attempt to re- wise the Neutrality Act in ordG' to send arms to England, Oyert0n led this fight even after war bau started in 1889. Again, iD i9Ef he told Senate colleagues:
