The first note follows: “His Majesty’s Government consider this murder, which holds up Egypt as at present governed to the contempt of civilized peoples, is the natural outcome of a campaign of hos- tility to British rights and Brit- ish subjects in Egypt and Swdan, founded upon a heedless ingrat- itude for benefits conferred by Great Britain, not discouraged by Your Excellency’s Govern- ment and fomented by organiza- tions in close contact with that government. “Your Excellency was warned by His Majesty’s Government a little more than a month ago of the consequences of failing to stop this campaign, more particularly as it concerned the Sudan. “It has not been stopped. The Egyptian Government have now allowed the Governor-General of Sudan to be murdered and have proved they are incapable or unwilling to protect foreign lives. Apology and Fine. “His Majesty's Government, therefore, require that the Egyptian Government shall, firstly, present an ample apolo- gy for the crime; gecondly, prosecute an inquiry into the authorship of the crime with the utmost energy and without re- spect of persons and bring the criminals, whoever they are, and whatever their age, to condign punishment; thirdly, henceforth forbid and vigorously suppress all popular political demonstra- tions; fourthly, pay forthwith to His Majesty’s Government a fine of 600,000 pounds (ap- proximately $2,500,000); fifthly, order within 24 hours the with- drawal from Sudan of all Egyp- ti@m officers and purely Egyp- tian units of the Egyptian army, with such resulting changes as Shall hereafter be_ specified; xthly notify the competent de- partment that the Sudan Gov- ernment will increase the aréa i i a a a a ae a aa ne NO lal gl alla afl afl PL eb Lah adh ede LP ad ahh BP PPADPODP OOD POD SI PBB PLL PO LILI OLD OD ODP OO LOS SS PBB LPO POOPOAPPR RAL PALE PAAAAAAYS" a to be irrigated at Gezira from 300,000 feddans (feddan ap- proximately an acréj to an un- limited figure as“the need may arise; severithly, withdraw all opposition in respect here- after specified to the wishes of His Majesty’s Government con- cerning protection of foreign in- terest in Egypt. “Failing immediate compli- ance with these demands, His Majesty’s Government will at once take gppropriate action to safeguard their interests in Egypt and Sudan.” Requirements Detailed. The second note details the Specific requirements, respect- ing the army in Sudan and the protection of foreizn interests in Egypt as follows: “Firstly, Egyptian officers and purely Egyptian units of the Egyptian army having been withdrawn, Sudanese units of the Egyptian army shall be con- verted into a Sudan defense force, owing allegiance to the Sudan Government alone and under supreme command oF the Governor General, in. whose name all commissions will be given. “Secondly, the rules and con- ditions governing the _ service, discipline and retirement of foreign officials still emploved by the Egyptian Government, and the financial conditions governing the pensions of for- eign officials who have left the service, shall bé revised in ac- cordance with the wishes of His Majesty’s Government. “Thirdly, pending the con- clusion of an agreement be- tween the two governments re- garding the protection of for- eign interests in Egypt, the Egyptian Government shall maintain the posts of financial and judicial advisers and pre- serve their powers and privi- leges as contemplated on the abolition of the protectorate, and shall respect the status and present attributions of the Euro- pean departments of the Minis- try of the Interior, as already laid down by Ministrial -order, and give due consideration to such regulations as the director may make upon matters falling within his sphere.” : ee ees LC CC Ct Te HELD FOR SAYING PRESIDENT Two East St. Louis Cheese Makers ledo, cheese makers the Armour East BSt. terday by “OUGHT TO BE KILLED’ Released in $5000 Bond for Hearing.

Cc ai Expert Believes Those Unpleas- antly Excited Should Calm Down Before Taking Food. Pe. to the Posét-Disnatch. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Dr. M. X. Sullivan, bio-chemist of the oe Public Health Service, believes | that many people impair their abil- ity to digest food by eating when | excited from anger or other emo-. | tional disorders. “By strong excitement, particu- larly of. the unpleasant kind,” he said today, “the glands of the mouth, the stomach, the intestines. and the flow of bile may be checked for some time, “In short, all the means of bringing about the chemical changes in the food may be tem- porarily stopped. In such condi- tions the food lying in-the stomach is an irritant rather than a benefit. The moral is that if we have ex- perienced an outburst of passion or strong excitement, it is well not to take nourishment until we are calmed down and are willing to look at things good-naturedly or with a courageous poise. If the -rule were applied there would be fewer cases of nervous dyspepsia, or, rather emotional dyspepsia.

Cecil fired three times at the burglar, who feil in the yard, call- ing to him not to shoot again. Benz had made no outcry when “he was wounded, and Cecil did not know, until after he had _ seized the wounded burglar, that his compan- ion had been shot. “Tex’’ Bourland, a crack shot, who was one of the party of four special policemen, was standing in front of the house, to prevent the escape of the burglar in that direc- tion, and did not have a chance to take part in the encounter.

Be- fore it hit the ground one of the St. Louis men jumped out, only to be caught and crushed beneath the wreckage as the craft crashed to earth in a small garden at the home of John Probst. An examination of the wreckage, the disclosed that the gasoline tank was empty and the theory was evolved that the plane fell when the engine stalled as the gas flow stopped. The bodies of the three men were taken from the wreckage and later at the Greenville poe a were jddentified by ethene and papers found in thélr pockets, substantiat- ing a report that Tilley and Hagen were the two Lambert Field flyers who had been killed. A€ first thera was doubt as,to the identity of the two men, because when they left Lambert Field they were accom- panied by Travis G. Boggs, an- other professional flyer of Bridge- ton.
