Egypt
“UNMORAL” CAIRO.
WORSE PERILS THAN GERMAN TRENCHES.
BOYS, PLAY THE MAN!
[Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright] United Press Association. (Received 9.15 a.m.) Sydney, February 23.
Major Grant, chaplain with the New Zealand forces in Egypt, writes: “1 have encountered perils; which are a good deal worse than the German trenches. The mass of the people of Cairo seem to be not so much immoral as unmoral, and they constitute a serious menace to the troops, who would be better if they were camped twenty miles in the desert. Mothers need to pray for their boys to have grit to play the man in the highest sense. The reputation and behaviour of our men 'stand high, and one is intensely thankful to such a fine lot of manly fellows who are upholding the honor of their island home.”
