EGYPT ACCEPTS
ALL DEMANDS OF
GREAT BRITAIN
Situation Described as Being
in “Good Order”—Gov
ernment for Peace.
Cairo, Egypt, Dec. 1.—(By the
Associated Press.)—Although not
yet officially announced, it is un
derstood authoritatively that the
Egyptian government has accepted
all British demands, made at the
time of the assassination of Sir
Lee Stack, sirdar.
Good Order.
London, Dec. 1.—-The situation
in Egypt is described as being in
<< good order” in dispatches to the
foreign office today from Viscount
Allenby, British high commission
er. Official dispatches from the
Sudan likewise report conditions
"easier and satisfactory.
Nothing, however, yet indicates
the real origin of the Khartum
mutiny, which took several hours
to suppress. By that time the
building in which the mutineers
took refuge was in ruins from
gunfire, the mutineers separated
into small parties. Some escaped
to. the surrounding towns and
others were arrested by the sol
diers.
The government still is of the
opinion that it will not be neces
sary to employ force. The first
battalion of buffs, embarked from
Gibraltar for Egypt today.
Cairo advices indicate that the
new government is devoting itself
to the preservation 1 of peace, and
that no reports of new incidents
in the Sudan have reached Egypt.

The Anglo-Egyptian crisis caused by the assassination of Maj. Gen. Sir Lee Stack appears
outwardly to be at an end, but fears are held that the heavy penalties levied by Britain will cause up
risings among Egyptians, among whom native leaders have been agitating a strong nationalistic feel
ing for some years. The British artillery seen drawn up before the Sphinx, is among the troops
which are taking over control of the Sudan from Egyptian forces. Below (left U» right) Ziwar Pasha,
the new premier; General Lord Allenby, spokesman for Britain in Egypt; and Zagleul Pasha, who
stepped down as premier rather than accede wholly tor British demands.

English Church Decides Men Won’t
Be Forced to Wear Wedding Rings
London, Dec. 1.—The desire to
protect the British bridegroom’s
pocket from too many financial in
roads, which it was contended
might prove a serious deterrent
to marriage—already affected by
unemployment and the housing
shortage—led the Church of Eng
land’s House of Clergy to reject
a proposal requiring men as well
as women to wear wedding rings.
The question arose during dis
cussion of the revision of the mar
riage service, which earlier hnd
been altered so as to eliminate the
time-honored word 44 obey” from
the bride’s response in one of the
two passages in which it occurs
in the ritual, although it was per
mitted to remain in the other.

SHORT SESSION;
EXPECT TROUBLE
Important Legislation to Be XsS
Considered—Await Presi
dent’s Message. wsBg
Washington, Dec. 1.—(By the
Associated Press.) — After six
months’ rest the 68th congress re
assembled today to renew in its
last and short session the turmoil
and strife which characterized its
first and prolonged gathering. m;
The first act of the house af
ter opening formalities was to
pass and send a resolution to the
senate proposing to set aside De
cember 15 as a day for services
in memory of Woodrow Wilson.
Senator Wesley L. Jones, of
Washington, was named republi
can “whip” in the senate.
Important Legislation,
In the three months intervening
before March 4, efforts will be
made to put through some Import
ant general legislation in addition
to the annual appropriation bills,
but with little apparent prospect
of success.
The key to the whole situation
still is held by the insurgents,
whose recognized leader, Senator
La Follette, of Wisconsin, and his
three chief supporters in the sen
ate, have been read out of the
party councils by senate Republi
cans. Whether they will under
take reprisals for this action re
mains to be developed.
Another Chapter.
One thing is certain, Uie last
chapter on this subject has not
been written.
Senators who have disagreed
with this action of their Republi
can colleagues intend to express
their views when the senate is
called upon to act on the reporta
of the Republican committee on
committees, covering the new as
signments to standing committees
to fill vacancies caused by the
death of several senators during
the last six months.
Brief Session.
The opening sessions of both
the house and the senate were
brief. New members elected or
appointed to succeed those who
have died since last May were
sworn in and the committees were
named to inform the president
that the congress is ready to re
ceive communications from him.
Resolutions were adopted on the
death of members and immediate
adjournment was taken out of re
spect to their memories.
There will be little activity in
either house until after receipt of
President Coolidge’s second annual
message, which under present
plans will be transmitted by mes
senger on Wednesday and read in
the house and senate by their re
specive clerks.

be finally accepted by the House
of Bishops and the House of Lay
men, now reads in the section
where both respond “love, cherish
and serve,” substituting serve for
obey.
The bride, however, cannot es
cape entirely from the word which
the feminists so tirelessly oppose,
for she must reply <« yes” when
asked if she will “take this man
to be thy wedded husband; wilt
thou obey and serve him? »♦
The proposal for the double
ring ceremony aroused a heated
discussion in which many argu
ments, ecclesiastical and practical,
were presented, but the opponents
had the final say and the motion
was rejected.
