CAIRO. April IT. (Special Cable.)
With the killing of two British soldiers
by a. mob and the death of four natives
in the clash which followed a new crisis
has developed in Cairo. The situation
Is fraught with danger. Only the
strongest kind of repressive measures
will serve to restore order.
In this connection I am authoritative
ly informed that General E. H. 1L.A1
lenby. British high commissioner for
Kgypt. is prepared to put such meas
urea into effect. He will issue a proc
lamation establishing an iron rule
the disturbances continue.
Apparently the concllistory measure
adoDted by General Allenby immedl
ately upon his arrival in Cairo have
faiicd to bear the good fruit at firs
expected. In fact, it generally is be
lieved that the recent disorders grew
out of them.
Three mammoth demonstrations the
greatest ever known in the near east '
occurred. Indeed, they might be
garded as one demonstration, lasting
45 hours. They were decidedly national
1st in character and thousands of per
sons participated in them. Veiled worn
en. Bedouins from the desert and from
the cities, well-to-do merchants and
fellaheen elbowed each other and
shouted in wild enthusiasm as they pa
raded the streets of Cairo with flying
banners, wild shrill cries and wilder
songs and shouts for liberty. The real
trouble did not come until later.
The great demonstration was over
General Allenby's proclamation, saying:
"Now that order has In great meas
ure been restored in LIgypt. I have
agreed with his highness, the sultan,
that there be no more restriction on
travel. Egyptians who wish to leave
the country are free to do so. Further,
I have decided that Said Zaghlul Tacha
and his three companions snail be re
leased from internment and accorded
similar freedom of movement to that
enjoyed by all Egyptians."
The result of this proclamation was
m populur demonstration that vied
with the armistice celebrations in
American cities the sixe of Cairo. Mobs
Jammed the streets In front of Shep
heard's hotel and cheered for Great
Britain and everything.
Every vehicle, everything on wheels,
was commandeered. The demonstra
tors, aboard these vehicles, afoot and
on horseback, were In every principal
and side street. They had flags,
branches of trees and every Imaginable
thing to wave. Finally some of them
took off their coats and other gar
ments and waved them.
Veiled women for the first time min
gled with the demonstrators and Joined
their shrill cries with those of the men.
Men and women from the desert Joined
hands in the streets and on carts and
danced the desert dances, leaping,
ahouting. prancing and waving their
arms.
It waa a sight such as Cairo, and
not even Alexandria, ancient city of
broils and demonstrations, never saw
before. Indeed, it was incredible that
such a demonstration should have oc
curred in the east.
Early in the demonstration I was
recognized by some of the demon
strators as a Herald and The Oregonian
correspondent. I was unable to escape
the mob. and for two hours they sur
rounded me and held me. meanwhile
giving the papers such a demonstration
as no other newspapers ever got. Cries
of "Long live President Wilson. Tng
.live America!" assailed my ears, as the
surging, seething mob overwhelmed me.
They showered me with flowers. Then
they overwhelmed Try carriage and lift
ed me bodily from it. They placed me
on the shoulders of two strong Egyp
tians and bore me about the city. The
temper of the mob was excellent. They
were in love with the world and Egypt
In particular.
The spirit of the mob showed a
change before the next day was done.
It was an ominous looking crowd, per
haps a little larger than that of the
day before. Again the streets were full
of men and women and children and
dogs. Ail classes were represented.
There were native officials, farmers,
merchants. Bedouins and again the
veiled women doing barbaric dances
Automobiles, carriages, wagons and
cart blocked the streets. Rabbis.
-They came to us this way: .
Our new furnishings chief, in placing his initial order
for ties with the finest American tiemaker, asked for
a sale to "start off" his section.
The mater readily agreed, and together they went out, bought
the finest tie silks that money could buy, and then had them made
up at a price LOWER than the cost of the silks.
Sounds strong, does it not?
Well, take a little stroll around town, look in the windows,
THEN SEE OURS.
You won't have to be a judge and jury to see that these $1.65
ties are BETTER than ties selling elwhere at double and more.
Finest American silks, finest American make; brocades, basket
weaves and the like, in figured, flowered and fancy effects; spring
shades and spring shapes.

You may see others flaunt ties of "estimated" (?) worth at a few cents
less than these, but these are unmatchable at any price, for the pattern, the
make, the quality is here only.

meanwhile the shouting and the clap-nina-

So it waa until near nightfall. Then
as the demonstrators were aooui to go
to their homes, a British officer be
came involved in a oirncuity wnn an

long in coming.
British Tommies hastened to the res

to the side of the Egyptian soldier.

Four Egyptians were killed.

WASHINGTON. April 17. The Na
tional society. Daughters of American
Revolution, refused today to cut down
chapter representation at the annual
meetings, and in its effort to revise
the constitution - left the attendance
section precisely where it stood 28 years
ago.
This decision was not reached with
out a spirited fight in which the small
er chapters opposed any change in the
general system of attendance.
Lnder the present system. New Tork
state has the greatest voting power in
the congress with 240 accredited dele
gates. Massachusetts being second with
164. Some of the smaller western states
have only two delegates each.
The Daughters adopted resolutions
commending the efforts of Secretary
Lane toward promotion of American
ization and eradication of illiteracy and
indorsing his project which will be sent
again to congress to provide home sites
on public lands for fighting men. The
resolution calling for closer relations
between America and England was
adopted.
Among resolutions presented was one
recommending that the day on which
President Wilson issues the peace proc
lamation be declared a national .holi
day.

from an officer. On tne face of the
record, he said, the sentence seemed
excessive, but that it was justified by
facts and as reviewing judge advocate
he had regretted only that the prison
term had not been longer.
Explaining the case he said the sol
dier had been ordered to work at the
base hospital on a Saturday during the
influenza epidemic and had refused on
account of religious scruples, alleging
he was a member of a faith that set
that day aside for worship. On that
particular Saturday, -the -officer said,
there had been 140 deaths at the hos
pital and there were hundreds of very
sick men to be cared for. '
Both General Glenn and Major Mac
Donald insisted that the circumstances
of any case must be fully known be
fore it could be determined that the
sentence was excessive. Both opposed
suggestions that radical changes in
court-martial procedure were necessary
or that any large infusion of men
trained in civil law Into the military
establishment was necessary. Everv

checks to safeguard his rights, they
asserted.

Comparative Price
Advertising is Down
right Lying!"
' Excerpt of a speech by Edward L. Greene of the Belter Business Commis
sion of Cleveland, Ohio, at a meeting of the advertising men and women and
ready-to-wear buyers at the Cleveland Advertising Club. Continuing, Mr. Greene
said: .
"Comparative prices are the cause of most of
this wildcat advertising." he says. "I call them
this because that is what they call wild mining
schemes, and these are in the same class.
, "Everyone is apt to let their enthusiasm run
away with them once in a while, but when they
go on doing it every day it is downright lying."
To illustrate his point, Mr. Greene showed
several examples of advertising which had re
cently appeared in Cleveland papers and which
represented his idea of good and bad advertising.
- Several of these were advertising $45 and $50
suit values at $25.
"Everyone knows that this is the big suit sea
son, and if those suits were actually worth $50
you'd be asking every cent of the $50 for them,
but they aren't, and you know it. You all go
to New York and are all offered practically the
same lines, and there isn't one of you that can
legitimately give such values right along at that
much of a reduction in the best part of the
season."
Cocktail advertising Is what it really is, ac
cording to Mr. Greene, who says that the first
time you .offer such things you give them one
drink, but the next time you have to give them
two in order to satisfy them, and' so on, until you
have increased the drinks to such an extent that
you have drunken people to deal with, and every
one knows you can't carry on a legitimate busi
ness with drunkards.
Says people don't believe ads.
That people have gotten so that they don't
believe advertisements, was pointed out by a rep
resentative of the Ames Company (of Cleveland),
who told of an experience he had with a sale of
dresses which were formerly marked $30 and
were put on sale one day at $25. When he asked
one of the salesgirls at the end of the day why she
thought they hadn't sold she said it was because
when a woman saw a dress for $25 marked down
from $45 or $50 she figured that perhaps the
dress was really worth $30 or $35, but when
there was only a small discount she decided she
wasn't saving anything.
Inasmuch as Lipman, Wolfe & Co.
Have Eliminated Comparative Prices for
Years, They Believe the Public
Should Know the Above Opinion
Not alone because they have pioneered in the movement in
this section and are happy to see their policy indorsed, but
because they see hereabouts frequent violations of all fair
comparisons in the use of extravagant comparative prices or
rather "downright lying" by large institutions . supposedly
conducted on fair, equitable, ethical lines. ' . .
A comparative price is misleading, and often
untrue; it cannot be otherwise so this store does
not use them.
There is only one basis of comparison for
price, and that is the lowest selling price in the
city on a similar article. Thus if a store ad
vertises a shirt as a $4, $5, $6 and even $7
value that is no better than shirts that can be
bought regularly at $3.85 in other stores, some
one is having it "put over" on them.
On the same principle this store, or any other
store that does not use comparative prices, may
hold a sale of an article say handkerchiefs (the
value of which is difficult for a layman to de
termine) at a price less than the present whole
sale cost, and then is immediately subjected to
this lying comparative competition.
An outlandish ' value is placed on the article
by the competitor with his comparative price,
when analysis will show that the sale in the store
that merely invites patronage on merit offers bet
ter values.
All of which is. another way of saying that the shopping
public should "watch their step" and beware of the store that
continually uses extravagant comparative prices.
Nor are we "tooting our own horn," for all this store asks
is a fair inspection of its merchandise at any time "sale" or
no "sale" with so-called "cut-price" merchandise elsewhere.
This store does, however, believe that the "sting-the-unwise"
policy in business ought to be brought to light,
knowing that the average American is enough of a thinker
not to "fall" again.
