March ( Advices, from Cairo state that the Bri tish High Commissioner, Field-Marsha Lord Allenby, has issued a proclamatioi that persons found guilty by court martial of possessing bombs and ex plosives will be liable to the deatl penalty. The New Zaghlulist Committee an nounces that it will continue within th< limits of the law its campaign for hon I our and liberty, and declares that blood I shed cannot serve the cause. It claim! ! that isolated acts should not be allowec to affect a case founded on justice. The Cairo correspondent of the Morn* | ing Post says that in view of the agita- ! tion in Britain for withdrawal from ' Mesopotamia and Palestine on financial grounds it is felt, that the British Government'a hands are tied as regards Egypt. It is believed that British taxpayers would rather evacuate Egypt than pay for garrisoning it until the country is fit to relieve England of all local government responsibilities.
