According; to British figures 33 Armenians have been killed In Cairo and a few others in Alexandria and elsewhere, and scores have been wounded, while thousands have sought refuge in churches, schools and special encampments created by the British au thorities. Two weeks have elapsed since the casualties ended, bnt still the poor, frightened Armenians are refua-eeina behind the suns of British soldiers. Yet this Is not another Armenian massacre. Both Egyptians and Arme Jilans agree tipon this point, although their views do not coincide upon the origin of the trouble. There has been tio general anti-Armenian feeling In Egrpt. The causes of the killings are entirely local. Egyptians believe and say that they have proved that individual Armenians have fired into Egyptian crowds during the recent disturbances, thus precipt tannic action by the military. In par ticular, they were enraged by the al leged action of an Armenian in Abdln Square, whom they quickly kllBed. In starting the deadly affray there, wherein a number of persons lost their lives. Iaflaaee Minna Shewn. The report quickly spread that Armen ians were being employed by the British to fire upon the Egyptians In order to create trouble and thus give excuse for military reprisals. This rumor. which to a foreigner seems too absurd to be given any consideration, was still given immediate credence by the masses and by educated Egyptians as well, and it still persists. It shows what ths In flamed mind of prejudice Is willing to believe: at present the country has been aroused to an Increasing frensy of antlnathy to the British. Armenians declare that the Toung Turks are behind this anti-Armenian talk that has infuriated the mobs and brought such deadly reprisals. Some even go to the length of saying that cer tain low class Armenians were em ployed by Toung Turks for the purpose of inciting violence against the Armen ians as a whole. I have heard .the wild est theories in explanation of the situa tion. This much is sure Egyptians really believe that they were being fired upon by Armenians with the object of provoking military measures. Therefore the outbreak of mob violence. Armenians Are Terrified. As for the poor Armenians in general, they felt that the sword of Islam was once more seeking Its famillsr resting place In Armenian breasts. They ried, terror stricken, to their churches and schools and to the hotels and to homes of friends. British troops were promptly placed on guard over them and the government took efficient steps to care for the entire population In tents at Hellopolis.

Armenians In t Port Said, where approximately .k,i r.v Nubar. son of 10.000 Armenians have been sheltered and fed by the British government for more than three years. It Is not known to the world that Great Britain spends 70.000 pounds a year for this Armenian camp at Fart Said, and SO. 000 pounds a month ror refugees. 100.000 of whom are Armenians. In Syria, and another large aura for those who have fled to Bagdad. There are no starving people of any race under the British flag. Attacks upon the Armenians by Egyptians had proceeded only a few days when leaders of both parties took steps to remove the misunderstandings that were causing tne trouble, -tne Armenian representatives went to El Azhar Mosque to affirm that what ever might happen In the case of In dividuals, Armenians as a whole had only good will for their Egyptian hosts. and that they sympathise with all the legitimate aspirations of the Nation alists. Farts Arc Han Down. In their turn the Egyptian leaders visited the Armenian -churches and of ficials and assured them that they rould return In safety to their homes and businesses, and that, if necessary. , student would remain on guard with each Armenian household. The viol ence straightway ceased, although the panic-stricken Armenians are natural ly reluctant to trust themselves outside ut the sight of the protecting British troops. r visited the refugees in their church and camp and interviewed the Armcn Ian priests and political leaders, be sides getting the British and Egyptian versions of the arrrays and securing independent reports of some of the police and hospital records of the In dividual cases. Personally, 1 think most of the firing done by the Arme Titan was pheer funk and panic, plus Bogas Jtubar Pacha of Paris the ac cepted leader of the Armenians of the world. Arakel Bey iuoar requests that I quote him as follows upon tne subject: "There is no Armenian ques tion in Egvot- Some unfortunate inci dents happened because the crowd be lieved that indvidual Armenians urea on Egyptians. Mobs killed a score of Armenians and wounded more. But now all misunderstanding is entirely re moved. I don't want America to think that there was another Armenian massacre here." This statement which the Armenians desire to have made in America illus trates how both parties quickly realized the seriousness of the outbreak to their separte causes. Armenians cannot allow the Impression to go forth that their character and conduct are such that their neighbors massacre them wher ever they may live. Nor can the Egyp tians afford to have the world believe that they are lawless marauders and murderers, quick to enact a "holy war" against Christians. In truth, this out break occurred in the height of a period of fraternisation between Christians and .Moslems. So the incident eeems closed, but it Is revelatory of condi tions beneath the surface In the near east. agent, meetings of, growers have been held already at Crabtree and Waterloo and some time next month representa tive growers from all sections of the valley will meet at Lebanon for the purpose of forming a permanent or ganization. The plan is to have the new associa tion adopt standard varieties of pota toes to be grown in the valley and then establish market grades. All growers would then ship only certain varieties and certain grades and shipments would would be in carload lots. Albany Captain Is Honored. ALBANY, Or., June 23. (Special.)
