BRITAN ACOUSTYD * OF SHIEING EGYPT, Former Governor of Missouri Files Charges With Senate Com. Washington, Aug. 18.—In a .brief flled today with the foreign relations committee of the senate, Joseph W. Folk, formerly goYernor of Missourl, s counsel for the Egyptian commission, charges that “England, under (he guise of a protectorate over Egvpt, virtually has. seized that country as a British possession”; that in an annex to the peace treaty the status of Egypt would besmade an internal question” and beyond the jurisdiction of the council of the League of Na- tions, which couneil the Egyptians de- sire to pass upos the status of Egypt. The dgeumient sets folth that the origipal ogcupation of Egypt by Brifigh tro beginning in 1882 was claimed by the British government to be merely ‘tempotrary for the purpose of suppressing ‘“rebels” and collec ing debts due Europeans. The Brit- jah ' government, Mr. ' Folk says, Pledged Egypt and the rorld that this occupation would be only temporary. After giving a resume of the poli- tical history of modern Egypt and the ‘“alleged wrongs done in that calintry to enforce British Rule in the Jast seweral decades,” the brief recites the story of “the killing of 800 and the wounding of 1,600 Egyptian na- tives last April in the streets of their ci#es while holding demonstrations €9y freedom uhder fhe ‘self-deter- mination’ clauses of the peace treaty.” , M. Folk, who formerly s soli- citor for the State department and now répresents the commission which was named by the legislative assem- Wi of Egvpt, a majority of whom were elected by the people, he says, ;calls attention to the fact that Hgyptian troops, numbering 1,000,000, “fought on the side of the Allies, to make, as they believed, the world ‘safe for democracy’ and for the right of national self-determination for all peoples.” Egypt, before the war, was inde- pendent for all practical A purpos though under the normal sovereigniy of Turkey and subject to annual ‘ri- bute to Turkey On December 18, 1914, it is stated, Great Britain re- moved the ruler of Egypt and ap- pointed Prince Hussein as sultan, “os- tensibly as a war measure and as sumed by the Egyptians to be such “When the time came for making peace,” “Mr. Folk “observes, ‘“the Egyptlan people naturally concluded that sinee, under the League of N: ns; they would be preserved from téfierm‘ngg.-e sion, the protectorate of Great, Britain “would be reémoved: But they were doomed to 'disappoint- ment.” The Egyptian legislafive assembly commission on the way to Paris {o {present that country's clalms, it is CGharged, W “interned by ovder of the British government upon reach- ing§Malga. ‘‘Released upon the rac- ommendation of General Allenby, it is said, it reached Paris only to. find, PERSONALS, Conrad Kronholm and Harold Ste- vens left this morning for Bangor, | Me., where the young men have ac-| cepted responsible positions with an | clectrical concern, John Dixons, of 17 Spring street, has gone to Waterville for a week.
