TOBACCO MAN IN CAIRO
THROUGHOUT
THE WAR.
A. H. Staples
Brings Family
Back After
Many Trying Experiences;
He
Returns
to the East.
A. H.
Staples,
for several
years
en-
gaged
in the tobacco
business
in Porto
Rico,
has
been
in
San
Juan
the
past
few days enroute
trow St.
Croix to New
York,
where
he will sail for Egypt
and
later he will go
to India
«and
China.
Mr.
Stapies
with
his
family
for
the
past
five
years
has
been
in
Cairo,
Egypt,
where
he
has
been
in
charge
of
important
interests
for
the
British
American
Tobacce
Company,
and
while
here
reiated
mauy
interesting
expe-
,
ri
nces
and
incidenms
of
the
war as
he
observed
them
in Lgypt.
We
were
bombed
from
airvlanes
om
several
»>ccasions’’,
said
Mr.
Staples,
“ana
in Cairo it was
generally
supposed
.
that the
one
in charge
of these
air raids
was
a
former
Austrian
who
had
been
a
resident
of Cairo.
There
was consid-
erable
mystery
about
these
raids
be-
cause
the
nearest
known
airbase
was
too
far
awav
for
aeroplanes
to
fly
to
Cairo
and
carry
a
large
supply
of
bombs.
It was believed
that
a temporary
base
was established
in
the desert
near
Cairo
and
that
the
actual
attack
was
made
from
there.
Many
people
were
killed
and
considerable
damage
was
done.”’
Mr. Staples
said
that he
had
great
dif-
ficulty in bringing his family from
Cairo
and it seem
an
impossible
undertaking.
He had
been
so long
in
Cairo,
however,
that
he
was determined
to get his family
out of that
city at
the
earliest
possible
moment.
He said
he
felt
he
had
done
nothing but
catch
steamers
for the
past
four months.
He
came
here after leaving
his
family
at
Saint Croix, Mrs.
Staples’
former
home,
for the
win er.
Despite
unsettled
conditions
through-
out
the
war
Mr. Staples
said
that
his
company
was
able
to keep
its
factories
in
Cairo
in
operation
throughout
the
war.
In
desciibing
the
difficulty
in
getting
supplies
to
Egpyt
during
the
war Mr. Staples
related
this experience:
“You know
how
much
an
Englishman
thinks of his
whisky
and
sada.
Nell,
,
during
the
war
in
order
to
get
any
machinery
or
equipment
the
author-
ities had
to
be
convinced
that
the
sup-
plies were
necessary.
If ynu could
con-
vince them of this you might get
a permit
" and after
the permil 3-ou
might get
the
goods
although
that
was
not
certain,
We
wanted
to
get
some
machinery
through
and
took
the
matter
up
with
the
officials.
We
were
told
it
was
ut-
terly
impossible.
We
can’t
even
get
any
soda
water
through,

plained.—Porto
