IN EGYPT

ZAGHLOUL PASHA WOULD RESIGN
Some incidents have occurred in Alexandria; students are boycotting English schools.

CAIRO, November 22. English circles in Cairo and Alexandria are pleased with the firmness of the British Cabinet's note. On the other hand, this document has caused real consternation in all Egyptian circles. The session of Parliament has been prolonged in order that the House may hear the statement which Zaghloul Pasha is to make to it after the meeting of the Council of Ministers, which is now examining the situation.
Zaghloul Pasha is to go to see the King. It is believed that he will resign.

The text of the British note
Here is the text of the official note delivered by Lord Allenby to the Egyptian Government.

"The Governor-General of the Sudan, Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, and also a distinguished officer in the British Army, has been brutally murdered at Cairo. His Majesty's Government consider that this murder, which exposes Egypt, as at present governed, to the contempt of civilized peoples, is the natural consequence of a campaign hostile to British rights and subjects in Egypt and the Sudan, a campaign based on great ingratitude for the benefits received from Great Britain, undeterred by your Excellency's Government, but fomented by organisations in close touch with your Government. Your Excellency was warned, a little over a month ago, by His Britannic Majesty's Government, of the consequences which might result from failure to stop this campaign, more particularly in relation to the Sudan. It has not been stopped. The Egyptian Government have allowed the Governor-General of the Sudan to be murdered, and have shown themselves unable or unwilling to protect the lives of foreigners.
Accordingly, His Majesty's Government demand that the Egyptian Government:
1. Make a full apology for the crime;

2. Carry out with the utmost energy the investigation of the perpetrators of the crime without regard to persons and inflict on the criminals whoever they may be and whatever their age a punishment equal to the fault;

3. Henceforth defend and energetically suppress all popular political demonstrations

4. Pay forthwith to His Majesty's Government an indemnity of half a million pounds sterling.

5. Orders the withdrawal, within twenty-four hours, of all Egyptian officers from purely Egyptian units of the Egyptian army in the Sudan, with such consequential changes as may be specified elsewhere:
6. That he make no opposition to the wishes expressed by His Majesty's Government in regard to the protection of foreign interests in Egypt: If immediate satisfaction is not given to his demands, His Majesty's Government will immediately take adequate action to safeguard his interests in Egypt and the Sudan.

A second note elaborates on certain points in the above note.
The Sirdar's funeral was not disturbed No really serious incident occurred during the Sirdar's funeral. In the evening, Egyptian students decided to stop attending English universities in protest against comments in the British press which they found insulting.

Incidents in Alexandria
In Alexandria, however, things were not so calm.
About fifty people gathered in front of the Protestant church where a religious service was being held for Sir Lee Stack, and shouted for several minutes: "Down with the English." Shortly afterwards, about a hundred Egyptian students marched through the streets of the city shouting: "Down with the English flag, long live the Egyptian flag, down with the invaders!"

The Egyptian newspapers declare that no government in the world can claim to be able to prevent crimes and recall that Great Britain was unable to prevent the assassination of Field Marshal Wilson, although it was aware of the possibility of acts of violence on the part of the Sinn Feiners.

Sirdar's Assassins Arrested
CAIRO. November 22, The driver of the taxi in which the Sirdar's assassins escaped has confessed. He revealed the identity of the perpetrators of the attack and they were arrested last night.
