Measures Taken By Great Britain Officials May . Result in Crisis LONDON. Nov. 27. (By Asso ciated Press.)- The British au thorities In Cairo have taken Into their own hands drastic measures to suppress possible nationalistic , plottings by .the. arrest . of ..four prominent members of the party organization headed by former premier Zagloul Pasha. . . Those arrested . were Nekrashy Bey, a secretary in the ministry of the interior in Zazloul's cobi net; Abdul Rahman Fahmy, one of Zagloul'a closest , political as sistants; William. Makram. Obeld. a prominent Coptic member of the . nationalist delegation and . Bar , akat Pasha, who was Zagloul'a minister of the interior. . According to statements In of ficial quarters in London, the men arrested were leaders in an under ground conspiracy against British Interest which probably was part ly responsible for the murder of sirdar Stack and which might, Jf left unhampered in its activities, result in further unfortunate in cidents. . ' . . , , , There was fear that this prompt action on the part of the British might result In another Egyptian ministerial crisis; . but according to the latest Cairo advices it was announced there, after a hastily called cabinet council that there would be no ministerial resigna tions as the British authorities bad accepted Premier . Zawlx'a pro posal that the men taken .into custody should be handed over to tie Egyptians to be dealt with-. " Apparently the arrest of these nationalists is regarded as mere ly a preventive measure and they will be placed only under observa tion; and control. No manifesta tions or disorders have followed the arrests and throughout Egypt calm still prevails. Opinion In official quarters here remains optimistic that a solution of the situation will be reached by means' of direct negotiations be iween Ziwar and Viscount Alien by before the Egyptian parliament meets again.

I would .much rather own .and op erate a linen mill." declared Mr. Kay. "There is not only a much larger profit in a linen mill, but styles do not change as they do In the products of a woolen mill. "I feel that If the business men of Salem will get behind the twine mill proposed by B. C . Miles,' it willbe just the beginning of more factories for Salem and the -Willamette valley.
