EGYPTIANS ARE LOYAL;
HAVE FAITH IN BRITISH
CAlItO.—During the last week or
two, and particularly when fighting
was proceeding beyond the Suez Ca
nal, excellent opportunity has been
afforded to note the attitude of the
Egyptian population toward the Ger
manized Turkish empire and toward
England. Cairo is the city of tell
tales and in its bazaars rumors start
easily and flourish with extraordinary
rapidity. It was in this soil that the
Germans endeavored, as all the world
now knows, to plant the seeds of In
trigue, hoping to reap a harvest of
disloyalty and rebellion.
During recent events it has been
clearly shown how fruitless their ex
pensive and assiduous efforts have
been. Though rumors were spread
through the bazaars recently that the
Turks had crossed the canal at Suez
nd Ismailia the native population re
fused to be moved, but remained ab
solutely quiet, not giving the author
ities a moment’s anxiety. The peo
ple were convinced that the official
communiques told them the truth as
to the situation, and they thoroughly
believed that the Turks suffered a
severe defeat and that Egypt was ab
solutely safe from the invaders.
The policy of England in dealing
fairly and openly with the people in
contradistinction to the duplicity and
muddle of the Turkish rulers has
■yielded excellent results, and in tran
quility and perfect order has had in
evitable and satisfac*ory reward.
The Egyptian press continues to
express deep satisfaction that Egypt
is so efficiently protected by Eng
land, and that this enables the new
Sultan and government to devote at
tention even during the great world
crisis to problems of domestic im
portance to the Nile land.

GEORGE HOBART
IS RECOVERING
Undergoes Operation In Seattle and
Is Reported To Be Gaining
Strength Daily.
Letters received in the mail this
morning from Seattle state that Geo.
Hobart is a patient at the Minor Pri
vate hospital in Seattle and that he
is on the way to complete recovery.
While going from Valdez to Seattle
en route to Mayo Brothers institute
in Rochester, Minn., for treatment he
became so ill tha'- it was necessary
to remove him to a hospital on a
stretcher.
George was reported later to have
succumbed and his many friends will
be pleased to know that he will soon
be in Valdez again fully recovered
from his illness. He was so weaken
ed from the attack on the steamer
that he remained in the hospital for
two weeks before recovering suffi
cient strength to undergo the neces
sary operation. He is reported to be
but a shadow of his former self but
as he has two married daughters liv
ing in Seattle wih their families he
is assured of good care after leaving
the hospital.
THANKS JUDGE FOR
FIFTEEN TEARS
Alice Cox, an Indian woman, slay
er of R. D. Baker, an ex-soldier, was
•sentenced by Judge Robert W. Jen
nings last week in the United States
court at Juneau to serve fifteen years
in the Kansas state penitentiary at
Lansing. The woman waived time
for sentence and it was her wish and
that of her husband, “Tom” Cox, that
her attorneys, A. B. Callaham, would
not ask for a retrial.
When asked if she had any state
ment to make, ,the defendant said
that she had nothing to say. “I have
given myself over to the law,” she
stated, "and it can do what it wants
to with me.”
Judge Jennings explained that the
statute fixes the sentence for convic
tion of second degree murder at from
fifteen years to life imprisonment,
and told the woman that the court
wanted to impose the lightest sentence
possible. He also stated that the at
torney general had ruled that female
prisoners from Alaska should here
after be confined at Lansing, Kansas.
After sentence was pronounced the
Cox woman voiced her approval of
the court’s leniency. "Thank you,
judge,” she said, with cordiality.
