OUTBREAK SON I EGYPT .10.6..•••••11. Gen. Allenby, New t onunander, Will Take Stern Measures With Revolutionists. London, March SO. -Officio,: com- muniques referring to the outbreak in the southern provinces of Egypt have been received from Cairo and say that a train from Luxor was at- tackedat Minich on March 15 and partially eacked., . The bodies of seven murdered British officers were found in the • guard's van. A crowd at Benisouef on March 15 invaded the courts during their sit- ting, drove out the officials and tried to get hold of the British judge.. Fail- ing in their object, the demonstrators wrecked various Government offices and attacked Mucliria., but were eventually 'driven back by a small body of Indian troops. On March 18 some British residents at Fayoum concentrated in three houses which had been put in a state of defence against the Bedouins Who were loot- ing the town. Next morning a train arrived from Couth bringing ladies and officers returning from leave. Further parties of Bedouins and others arrived on March 17 and 16, and looting continued. The garrison was relieved on March 18, and the residents, except those electing to re- main, were sent to Cairo. A large force of Bedouins at Medinet, in Fay- oum, persistently attacked the garri- son on March 19, but were eventually driven off with four hundred casual- ties. Cairo, Egypt, March 30. -General E. H. Allenby, the new commander- in-chief in Egypt, told a gathering of Egyptian notables yesterday that be would be forced to employ active repression to restore order by de- fensive measures. The policy of repression, the gen- eral. admitted, would bring great suffering to the people, and be asked the Egyptians to devise measures to achieve the desired results with a minimum. of suffering. He concluded with this emphatic warning: "I in- tend to do my duty. It is for you to do yours." Will be Covered by Increased Duties on Beer and Tobacco. A. despatch from London says:- Reuter's is authoritatively informed that it is estimated that the Belgian expenditure for the forthcoming year totals 44,000,000. Revenue will be E24,000,000, owing chiefly to de- creased activities of the public ser- vices. The deficit will be covered by increased income tax and death duties, and duties on beer, alcohol and tobacco. The Government has also to con- sider four billions sterling extraor- dinary war expenses, including the State contribution to relief commis- sions and indemnities to communes and private individuals. This will be payable by loan on guarantees of the ni German indenity. The Belgian Premier recently in- formed the Chamber of Deputies that the allies would grant the necessary funds.

Great Britain's biggest airship the R-34, which in the near future will attempt a trans-Atlantic flight. had its first severe test recently when it set forth from the Clyde -for a circuit of the Irish coast, says a Lon- don despatch. The airship returned to her base after remaining aloft nearly twenty hours, encountering the severest weather. While the first of the three trials which "are expected to precede the trane-Atiantic attempt is regardecl in expert quarters here as highly successful, there is ne-eertheless dis- aPPointinent that the airship was un- lble to complete the 24-hour teat planned. High winds and extreme cold prevailed for two days in the waters around the British Isles, and the big airship was heavily buffeted by the gales and snowstorms, and the cold was so intense the water in the ballast tanks froze. She was forced to ascend to a high altitude to . free thieorn.sse.if from the blizzardly condi- Weather Unfavorable for Trip. Opinion is expressed here among air experts that the unusually severe weather conditions may postpone any attempts at a trans-Atlantic flight until better weather is more certain. The extreme cold and the heavy hailstorms severely taxed the. ' strength of those airmen who have participated in the recent cruises around the Danish coast, .and last night's flight over the Irish coast. The British airships, it is declared, have behaved splendidly under the most trying conditions, and there is every belief that the R-34 and sister ships will be able to surpass the Zep- pelin achievement of 100 hours in flight. TheT fourth entry in the trans- Atlantic flight has registered -with the Royal Aero Club. He is 'Sidney Pickles, an Australian, who will -make the attempt in a Fairey biplane with a Rolls-Royce engine of 360 horse- power, claimed f.) have a top speed of 130 miles an hour. He plans to start from Newfoundland. --- ANTISEPTICS IN WEST INDIES A despate from Winnipeg says: - Since the Alien Enemy Investigation Board started proceedings in Janu- ary, 1,200 aliens have been granted loyalty cards and 300 refused them, J.

Government employ- ment agencies have been instructed to prevent them from securing jobs, Mr. Mansfleld said, PEACE RESTORED IN HUNGARY • e alm•-••••; Bloodless Revolution Complete, According to Wireless • From Budapest. A despatch from London soya: - A Hungarian wireless communica- tion, dealing with the situation in Hungary, was received here on Thursday. It is addressed "to all." The message says that complete peace and order reign. in Budapest and throughout the country, and that the revolution was carried out en- tirely without bloodshed. Neither in Budapest nor the provinces- was a single person wounded, let alone be- ing killed. The food supply of the capital and the country is declared to be ade- quate. Provision shops and markets are open, and the population can ob- tain adequate supplies of food. Se- curity for life and property has been guaranteed by Government decree and the proclamation of martial law. It is added that enactments have been made giving illegitimate chil- dren equal rights with those of legi- timate birth and making marriage a simple civil ceremony. Also decrees have been issued regulating the cir- culation of money at banks, allowing holders of current accounts up to 2,000 kronen to retain control of their money. Directors of banks are to retain their posts and fees, but only to e maximum of 3,00a kreoen monthly. The hal-lichee business is proceeding in an orderly manner. The communicatio adds that Gov- ernment decrees give complete guar- antees of security of life and proper- ty to all foreign subjects in Hungary. It declares untrue the report that Count Michael Karolyi has been suc- ceeded as Provisional President. s • PEOPLE OF CANADA GIVE $6,842.80 TO PRINCESS weamoolaam• A despatch from Montreal says: - Lady Fitzpatrick has been advised that the amount collected in Canada Alien Labor Leaders. for a wedding present to Her Royal A striking feature of the extreme revolutionary movement which is at the back of the uglier aspects of the present labor troubles is that is is Allies Found Them Superior to Those Made by Germans. Before the war nearly all antisep- tics were made by German chemical firms. Scientists in the allied coun- tries, however, began experimenting and investigating, and soon produced many antiseptics that were superior to the old types. Early in their investigations they found that the old slave drivers of the West Indies knew even more about antiseptics than did the mod- ern German chemists. Slaves caught trying to escape were severly thrash- ed, to discourage such attempts on the part of the others. But it was not to the owner's benefit to be long deprived of the services of such er- rant slaves, and to prcmote rapid recovery the slave drivers used to wash the wounds -with a mixture of sea water and lemon juice. Scientists studied the effect, of a reheture of common salt and lemon juice on the blood, and found that, whereas ordi- nary antiseptics tended to destroy not only the germs but also the tis- sues of the body and actually retard: - the healing of tbe wound, the old slave drivers' remedy promoted the flow of the healing fluids from all parts of the body to the injured part. BRITISH UNREST SATISFACTORILY ENDED A despatch from .London says: - The delegates to the conference of the National Union: of Railwaymen deckled to accept the offer of the Government for the settlement of their demands. 3.
