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

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.

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

THE Brunswick Method of Reproduction has estab
lished new standards of tone projection, due to
two outstanding: features two departures from
old methods.
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
