    SEIZURE OF
EGYPT SCORED
AS ROBBERY
Great Britain's Legal Position
Branded as That of High
wayman by Folk
Washington. Aug. 35. I.'kening
Great Britain's legal position in
Egypt to that of a highwayman, Jo
seph W. Folk, counsel for the Egyp
tian Peace Delegation, told the Sen
ate Foreign Relitions Committor to
day that the Versailles Treaty pro
posed to validate the "robbery"' of
Egyptian independence.
Having occupied Egypt after con
struction of lite Sues canal under the
pretext of protecting the Egyptians
trom rebels, he said, Great Britain
in 1914 "seized the Egyptian govern
ment and now proposed uruler the
Treaty to reduce her to a subject na
tion. The Treaty, he slid, would'
make Egypt's grievance against
Great Britain an : nternal question sol
that it could not be dealt with by j
the League of Nations.
"Tile people of Egypt," he deflated,
"want a League of Nations which will ]
protect their independence and not I
destroy it. They ash you not to derv -
them that self-determination fur,
which more than a million Egyptians
fought in the war just ended.'-
Ot-eupnfion Temporary
The delegation sent to Paris c< n
ference by the Egyptian representa
tive assembly, Mr. Folk said, were
held in "virtual imprisonment'' and
were not permitted to even send a
representative to the United States.
He declared the protectorate claimed
by Great Britain over Egypt was "the
same sort of protectorate that a high
way man would claim over your
pocket book."
Great Bi itain had repeatedly pledged
be said, that her occupation •( Egypt
would be temporary and h asked
that a clause be written into the
Treaty giving Egypt the right to
appeal to the league council. Re
publican members of the committee
suggested, however, that the League
was to be controlled by the same
powers as made the Treaty, and that
Great Britain's rights in Egypt al
ready had been recognized formally
by the American Slate Department.
Referring to the outbreaks against
British rule in Egypt, lie said, Gteat
Britain had "suppressed" the news of
what was taking place anil did not
want the United States especially to
learn the facts if it could be helped.
Perfect Health Is Yours
If the Blood Is Kept Pure
Almost Every Human Ailment
Is Due to Blood Impurities
You cannot overestimate the lm
; ortance of keeping the blood free
ot impurities. When you realize that
the heart is constantly pumping this
Ital fluid to all parts of the body
you can easily see that any impurity
in the blood will cause serious com
plications.
Any slight disorder or impuritv
that creeps into the blood is a
.-ource of danger, for every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
1 iOod supply to properly perform its
functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result of a bad
condition of the blood. Among the

Japan
i
Now York, Aug. 25. Congress
was urged to ratify the recommen
i dutions of the United States Senate
committee on foreign relations re

here, and Lee To, president of the
I Chinese Chamber of Commerce,

States and the people of his native
land. The American people, he
; added, would "to a man" favor the
award to China of the province
"stolen by the Germans and passed
over to a foreign power."

GERMAN PLOTS
IN MEXICO ARE
REVEALED TO U.S.
Included Invasion of America
Same Time of Last
European Drive
New York, Aug. 23.—Revelation
of extensive German plots in Mex
ico during the war, which included
a proposed invasion of the United
States by a German-Mexican army
of 45,000 men, at the same time
that the Germans launched their
last drive on the western front in
July, 1918, was made here by the
National Association for the Protec
tion of American Rights in Mexico,
which gave out a statement by Dr.
P. B. Altendorf, formerly of the
United States Military Intelligence
Department, reciting his experience
as an American secret service agent
in that country.
Dr. Altendorf. the son of a Polish
banker in Cracow, Austrian Poland,
abandoned a medical course in the
University of Vienna at the out
break of the war and tied to Mex
ico, where he was offered a po
sition as a German spy to operate
against the United States by Kurt
Jahnke, head of the German secret
service in Mexico.
"With pretended reluctance, but
with secret joy I accepted," he said,
"and at once found myself in a po
sition to render valuable service to
the Allies in general and to the
United States in particular." He
opened communication with the
border as a volunteer worker to the
Military Intelligence Department,
he claims, and was later sworn in as
a special agent of the Military In
telligence Department.
Chief Praises Work
The association states that it lias
investigated his claims and that
Brigadier General Malborough
Churchill, the head of the Military
Intelligence Department, "spoke in
terms of the highest praise of the
zeal and trustworthiness of Dr.
Altendorf and the great value of
the services he rendered."
In addition to explaining his ac
tivities in Mexico, Dr. Altendorf
warns the people of the United
States against a proposed German
commercial conquest of Mexico.
"Within six months after the
United States ratifies the Treaty of
Peace," he says, "Germany wtil
have complete economic control of

Mexico. Within a very few years,
if they are permitted to carry out
the plans they have formulated, and
are now executing as rapidly as they
can, the Germans will have absolute
economic, political and military
control of Latin-America with head
quarters in Mexico."
Referring to the proposed inva
j sion of the United States Dr. Alten
dorf sets forth that in his dual
capacity as a curtain in the Ger
| many army and a colonel in the
| Mexican army he helped train 900
German reservists in Sonora, who

More Arrests Are Due

| Notice of the new arrests to be
i made was given yesterday by As
j sistant District Attorney James Gay
i Gordon, Jr., who, with Assistant
i District Attorney. Joseph H. Taulane,
is probing the case for the Com

i been made, the defendants being

j for a $35-a-week teller to SSOO for

j and banking commissioner.
| It is the fact of the insignificant
SSOO bail which leads those inter
ested in the investigation to believe
that one of the four new arrests
will be in reality a rearrest, and that
a second warrant, on a new charge,
will be served on Daniel F. Lafean,
