v v. 10 THE BEK: OMAHA, MUMDAY, DttUttMbttK- 1, ma. Egypt Holds, Grievance Against President Wilson Accuses Executive of Working Hand in Glove With England for Oppression of People British Rule Heavier Than Turk, Claims Peace Delegate. By' MOU.STAFA EL-NAHAS BEY. Ecyptlaa Delecate to tua Peace Confer enre at Paris. (Written for I'nlTereat Serrlea.) , Paris,. Nov. 30. Egypt has two profound grievances. The first and greatest is against England. The second is against President Wilson, who, by his attitude toward our na tion, has laid himself open to the suspicion that he is working hand in glove with England for the op pression of our people and the dash ing of our national hopes. No less than 63 times England. Fince her "peaceful penetration" of Egvpt, has officially pledged her word to us that we should have our liberty, so far as she was concerned, whenever we were ready to shake r,ff the nominal sovereignty of Turkev. ' , , In 1914 England declaredher protectorate over Egypt in the face of these promises. We refused tp recognize her at officially, but of fered no resistance, seeing in Eng land's action an opportunity to ihrmv nff tli Turkish yoke and olai-wl's nrrthitv to keep her word in the hour of victory and declare hen recognition of Egypt as an autonomous and inde pendent state. Hopes of Freedom. Our hopes of freedom were en couraged to the point of veritable certiinty vhen America entered the war under the principles enunciated in Mr. Wilson's 14 points. "We felt assured that under no circumstances ' could England continue her oppres sion of Egvpt in defiance of her American ally's stand on the ques tion of "self-determination," for the weaker nations. We counted, as a matter of course, upon President Wilson's firm backing of the prin ciples for which 'he himself ,tood sponsor before the world. Today, our nopes aasncu, uu. county enslaved, we know the truth. England stands revealed as our de liberate oppressor, President Wilson as her aider and abettor.. By the terms of the treaties of Versailles .and St. Germain, England forced Germany- to recognize her protec torate over Egypt, and President Wilson, without an official word of protest, sanctioned those treaties, signing the first jfrith his own hand. . . v, ' I England's hand in Egypt has proven heavier than the Turks. Half a century ago, under the ty rannic -rule of Ismail, fcgypt, wiin a population at that time of only 6,000,000, had 130,000 children m her schools. Under British oppression the proportion has dwindled until, with a population of 13,000,000, less than half the former number of children are permitted to obtain an education. England knows that there is no better way to enslave a race than to condemn it to igno rance and illiteracy. Now Totally Disarmed. In the days o f Turkish i sover eignty the Egyptians at least had recourse to the last resort of armed revolt. Under England all arms have disappeared from the hapds of the Egyptians. We are totally dis- Abducted by Girl, Young Groom Suicide From Fright Vienna, Nov. 30. Katherine Ho hensinn was sentenced to two months imprisonment at Reid for eloping with and marrying Jacob Haiti without the sanction of the man's patents. Hartl, a youth of feeble intellect, was constantly ill-treated by his parents, and the girl Katherina, who was employed by the family as a housemaid, finally decided trj mary Jacob to protct him against iunner maltreatment. Remiving a donkey from her master's stable she bound Hartl se curely to the saddle with cords, and seating herself in front of hinv rode at midnight to the neighboring town Eberscljwang. There she and the unwilling, but unresisting bride groom were married in the early hours of the moring.- Two days later six armed gendarmes, dispatched at the reqeust of Hartel's parents, ar rived at the inn at which the couple were staying, and ordered Katherina, in the jname of the law, to restore her husband to his par 'ental home. When the girl refused she and Jakob were handcuffed together and marched to the court at Reid, where the judge declaring the marriage illegal and void, sent the woman to prison. Two hours later Jakob, who was evidently in fear of his parents' an ger, was found , dead. He had hanged himself in his bedroom. Omaha Gkl of Twelve WriteTRoosevelt Poem Little Elizabeth Randall, 12 years old, a pupil of Cojnenius school of Omaha, has written a pretty poem about Theodore Roosevelt, which is torwaraea oy wc auusstcu m.uw. ial association as follows: 1 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Not ever to help it in its fight against the .Turks would Eng land put weapons in our. hands for fear they might later be turned against it when we knew the truth about' its ambitions in Egypt. In stead it called on .us for laborers ano we gladly furnished 1,200,000 men to help its engineers on the bat tlefields. When the peace conference met in Paris we organized a delegation to present our claims to the "big five." It was when this delegation set out for Paris that England first showed its hand. It forbade the delegates to leave Egypt and succed ed in holding up their departure .un til the riots of last spring called the world.ttention to this manifesta tion of British tyranny and, to save its face, England was forced to let u? go. Up to this time we still re tained our misplaced confidence'in Mr. Wilson's promises of interna tional justice. Four days of Paris sufficed to disillusion us. On April 19 we arrived in Pans. 0:i April 20- we requested art aud ience of President Wilson. Our re quest was completely ignored and on April 22 we were stupefied to re ceive a telegram from Cairo in forming us that the American charge affairs there had published an official statement announcing that President Wilson had recog nized the British protectorate over Egypt. - . From that time until the pres ident's departure from' France we bombarded him V requests for a personal hearings. 'Shortly before he sailed we received the onjy commu-, nication he deigned t(j address to w, a note from his secretary regret ting that the pressure of affairs '.vould not permit Mr. Wilson to re ceive our representative. Enslaved, But Not Pacified. England, to justify its tyrannical seizure of Egypt, claims that the Egyptian question is one of interior domestic . policy." But it knows how difficult it will be tp prove this con tention in the eyes of the' world and particularly the eyes of the Ameri ca people; so, in order' to pull the wool dver the eyes of the free na tions, it has constituted a British rommissjon of inquiry to report -on the Egyptian claing after a study of the situation on the ground. That commission, as recently named, is headed hv Lord Milner, a dyed-in-the-wool British imperial ist, who has written ( at length in favor of the. annexation of Egypt to Great Britain. , Everyone of Lord Milner's assistants is noted for his imperialistic opinions. Thus Eng land plans to seal Egypt's fate with a verdjet rendered by a packed jury. ' But Egypt has refused to submit. Every Egyptian of note has an nounced that he will refuse to re ceiveor communicate with any mem'ber or agent of the Milner com mission. A complete boycott has been declared against Britain's jury. If Lord Milner comes to Egypt he will not find a single native of any rank ready to hold two minutes' conversation with him. England knows this. She has adjourned the investigation of the Milner investi gation "to a later date." That "later date" wifll be never, for Egypt, al though .she cannot resist, will never submit to British or any other for eign tyrannization. She is en slaved, but not pacified.

IWTWW I II I MM Ml Clear Industrial Argonnej I Of Political Sharpshooters .- , , As if thp various strikes throughout the country, J ; and demands on the part of workingmen that it appears J impossible to grant without seriously crippling the ma chinery of commerce and industry were not enough, two more factors have entered the arena to do battle with the . conscientious business man who is endeavoring to adjust . affairs to new conditions and get a peep of the sun rising J behind the dark clouds of the business outlook. These are the weather, and the expectation, as pre dieted by Senator Lodge, that the peace treaty and league will be saved for injection into the next campaign. Will there. never be surcease? 1 i Is business to have a chance? ' Selfishness may be at the root of it, and President Wilson majr class the rest of the country as inhumani- ;tarians for not subordinating all other considerations to ;to the happiness of future generations of the world, but !the fact remains that., to the average man the biggest political question of the day is how to get business back ; to normal, and coax the wary dollar back into sight once ;more out of the far off skies of hazy speculation, and world dreams. Present conditions ' are an outrage upon every citi zen of the country who is not ify a position to profiteer." The producer is not (profiteering, because half or more of the increased price never reaches him, and what he does get is dissipated in paying the higher prices for ; the productions of the other fellow. Not all the wage earners are in a position through labor organiations to "profiteer," and those who are not, make up themajority'of the citizenship of the country. Under such conditions it is impossible for industry to get off its "dead center." . Capital is wary of investing, and the only construc tion work undertaken is that which is absolutely neces sary.' That Omaha has battled successfully against such conditions is due to the fact that it is the "biggest booster" city of its size in the country. It has more' concentrated "pep" and energy to the square inch than have half a dozen other cities that can be named, combined. - With this spirit of the olden and hardy pioneer in vigorating everybody from the energetic newsie to the bank president, the city has forged steadily ahead, every body with his' shoulder to the wheel, sharing in the gen eral concern throughout the country over the situation, But business can't j?e conducted without intercourse with. the outside world. . If the outside world has no business, it will curtail the exploitation of Omaha's industries, and sooner or later the conditions that are reported elsewhere will become more apparent here. The administration has the power to pull the country out of the present hole, and this power should be turned now to be devoted wholly and entirely to that purpose. "If it isn't, the business interests of the country will turn, as did the country itself when pushed too far, and the result will be an advance through the Argonne of in dustrial bolshevism, and that will rout out and strew the ground with the gentlemen who are still politically snipe- shooting.
