CAIRO. To the amazement of every
body, the Armenian question has sud
denly been thrust into the midst of the
i-gypUan crisis. 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. Embittered as they are. the

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.

legitimate aspirations of the Nation

world. Arakel Bey iuoar requests
that I quote him as follows upon tne
subject: "There is no Armenian ques

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
