CAIRO, Egypt, Aug. 9-(0?) --Egypt, a neutral than far in the developing desert. war of the Near East, prepared m-

“The desert in a terrible en- emy! It is the tomb oi’ those who traverse it!" An Italian invasion, the newspapers add- ed, .would end as did Napo- leon's costly retreat on the plains of Russia.

Abdel Rahman Azzam Bey, commandant of Egypt's ten-i. torial army. declared in a speech that “any aggressive notion against. Egypt. ivill cast the invader very dear," and disclosed that 200,000 men are

Egypt is tied tn Britain by u defensive alliance and has warned Italy that she will

fight if she is inviidctl or her cities are bombed.
