(Copyright by the New York Herald Com pany. Published by Arrangement.) CAIRO. Recent events in Egypt have wounded Great Britain In her most sensitive spot, her spirit of sportsmanshrip and fair play. In a critical- hour a considerable number of the British in Egypt have proved to be bad losers and not loyal to their own leader. Suddenly, within an hour, Cairo's un precedented festival of jubilation was transformed into a scared, scurrying, resentful and murderous minded mob of men and women bent on bitter ven geance. What caused this dramatic change, ending, as by magic, all the rejoicing and celebrations? Nothing less than the collapse locally of a glor ious British tradition The lack of chivalr on the part of many or most British citizens In Cairo has cost their nation more dearly than any man can at present estimate. The historic British reputation for square dealing, which has hitherto been the empire's supreme asset in the world now being blanketed by the swift-fly ing news that vchen a great official rectified a stupid government blunder in Egypt his subordinates and na tionals recused to play the game and at the sight of a subject people s re Joicings over the good news of British fairness gave way by railings, curs ings, violence and killings, finally precipitating a situation which made the latter state of things worse than the first. British Betray Traditions. ' Such an incident is not easy to write. By conviction 1 am essentially pro British. I have seen ber work all over the world, and while criticisms could be written of British manners, the British character, on the whole, has everywhere stood for even-handed justice and Integrity of purpose. Brit ish rule has meant the substantial welfare and progress of the native peoples, even as here in Egypt. The new ideals which are coming to dominance in the world are more than American thex are Anglo-Saxon. That these two races, speaking the one tongue, possessing the one literature. cherishing many of the same convic tions and traditions, should stand .to gether in world service seems indis pensable to the advancement of .the highest civilization. Any recreancy of either to the fundamental ideals wnicn are our common inheritance is a wrong done to both. Each owes the other candor, as well as charity of Judgment. Both must pay the stipulated price of honor if they are to work together. Since the matter is one of gravest moment, affecting the future of the Near East, I am obliged to record that here in Cairo, at the apex of Egypt's crisis, the mejority of the resident British military and civilians railed to live up to the storied traditions of their race. They betrayed their breed. Look ing out upon the innocent jubilations of a nation which was rejoicing be cause it had just received from a Brit ish high commissioner's hands a boon which it deemed its right, the British spectators displayed only black looks and harsh words and openly expressed so that all might hear the wish to turn machine guns upon the demonstrators. Dozens of times on the terraces' of the two big foreign hotels and else where I heard this same unoriginal sentiment expressed: "I'd like to turn the machine (runs on them." Women as well as soldiers repeated this blood thirsty sentiment. The exultant, ex uberant crowd were called beasts swine and monkeys most commonly and dubbed unfit to live. Eventually, when the tension among the British soldiers grew too great, they broke out in hostile demonstra tions, which resulted in more killings and turned the -festival of rejoicing Into black bitterness and hatred. It was all worse than a crime it was blunder. Contempt for Natives Factor. Even though inexcusable, the state of mind of the British in Cairo was ex plicable. Some troops had even been recalled from homeward bound troop ships in order to help put down the Egyptian rising. Knowledge that eight British soldiers had oeen most touiiy murdered by an up-country mob had quickened resentment against the natives. The destruction of government DroDertv keenly wounded the ji-ngnsn who had been long resident in the land, devoting themselves to the up building of the nation. Innate contempt for natives, and for the "gyppy" in nartieular. was a contributing factor. I have since heard the excuse put forth r4 Always Contains The Latest Store News Offering Quality Merchandise at Lowest Prices ' ; llaltalsWsia Tmc Quality Stow of Portland J British, regardless of all of their splen did service n ths land, anmates the Egyptians, high and low. I have heard it from Egyptians of royal blood, of English university education, of Ameri can training and of three faiths. This is to an observer the most grievous phase of the Egyptian situation. Loss of life and loss of property are less serious than loss of confidence and good will and the bulk of natives and of foreigners have now come to a mutually suspicious and hostile atti tude. There is app-irent nowhere a conciliatory attitude. Instead, the class antipathies which are the soul of bol shevism are as widespread as the de posit of Nile alluvium. A few men s littleness has neutralized one man s bigness. A. great nation s historic spirit has been concealed by a mist of misunderstanding and petty spleen. A proud imperial achievement has been discredited. Hostile barricades have been thrown up before the feet of Britain's unselfish servants of civili zation who must follow after.

Germany's Destructive Policy Is Ex posed So She Must Have No Say on the Future. SEATTLE, Wash., June 25.

"Germany must have no hand in the direction of China in the future," said Count Soyeshima. "Her policy has been exposed too completely to underesti mate her destructiveness and she must have no say in any respect concerning China nor be permitted undue privi leges in that land."

Portland. Adv. represent the British spirit; they have been away from home too long. Certainly It was not easy for Jsngnsn- meji to admit tnat tneir government had made a huge mistake in refusing permission for a deputation to go to Paris and In deporting tour Egyptian leaders, thus confessing that the natives had had a real reason for risiner. General Allenby's action in completely reversing the course of the authorities appealed to them as weak ness rather than as strength and mag nanimity and simple Justice. The com mon comment was that he should have given them a bigger dose of lead, in stead of admitting that a blunder-had been committed and that the British wen wrong and the Egyptians right. Furthermore, the failure of the crowds to cheer Great Britain or to carry British flags naturally stung the sensibilities of patriots listening to cheers for other countries. Twice, so far as I can learn, feeble cheers for Great Britain were extracted by native leaders who saw that the hour was one for magnanimity; onener tne at tempts to. secure such plaudits .were nesented by the crowds. Finally, and as a factor or importance, tne rtritisn soldiers were not informed as to the real situation, and they had little taste to stand idly by and watch the ''gyp pies," whom for weeks they had been herding like sheep, given complete possession of the etreets to conduct an overwhelming victory ceieDration. Had the -men been kept In barracks while the Jubilation was in progress there would have been no actual outbreak. Good Will Is Lost. The disappointment over the outcome of General Allenby's proclamation was intense. 'As one Anglo-Egyptian said, "My life work has been ruined." The constructive labors of a multitude of men who had served the country in noblest spirit, seeking to build up good will and true prosperity, seemed sud dently dashed to the ground. The gov ernment issued a statement declaring that official inquiry would be made Into the occurences. Too late! The real harm has been done. Black bitterness against the 1915 TROOPS REACH U. S.

The Ultona reproducer enables you to play all records at their best. Just a turn of the hand presents to each type the proper point and diphragm, its exact position on the record, and the precise degree of pressure. As no one record maker has all the desirable singers and entertainers, the advantages of the Ultona are really appreciated. The Brunswick Amplifier brings out tones hitherto lost and eliminates the usual metallic sounds, for it is ' built entirely of molded wood like a fine violin. Let us explain all the features of The Brunswick to you. We shall gladly put it to any test you wish. But you shall be the judge of its superiorities.
