ENGLAND's OCCUPATION OF EGYPT

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir Apropos of the Marchand expedition to
Fashoda. permit me TO prophesy that the gallant
French major and his explorers Will be invited by
General Kitchener 70 quietly get Of his
boats and return TO Cairo. taking their French flag
with them. like good little boys, who must not In
terfere with things which they do not understand
The English flag will be hoisted on Fashoda and
another important step taken toward the realiza-
ton OF the Cape 10 Cairo English Empire" or
one thing we may be certain and that is that Eng
land will never give up Egypt Even the most en-
thusiastic French patriot will not dispute the fact
that France would not dream OF undertaking "a war
with England. unless she had the support Of Rus
STA But Russia II too poor to fight with a first
class Power, while the abominabl STATE OF corrup
ton In the French Army, as evidenced by the
Dreyfus revelations, Ia not calculated inspire
Russia with much confidence in her French ally
As England Is unquestionably much more than a
match for France alone. and as France H. the only
country that objects to an English annexation OF
Egypt, 1t follows that England's occupation Of
Egypt Is permanent.
The childish jealousy and petty malice which the
French manifest toward the English remind one
OF the picture Of a small. weak boy making faces
behind the back Of strong big boy.

They had only been married three short
months, but one day she made a fearful
discovery. On a particular evening when

odor OF liquor upon him. At first she
held her breath she was so frightened.
But at length II slowly but irretutably
dawned upon her. She was almost dazed.

that way. she refused TO believe. and
as a last straw she asked HIM II he had
not been TO the BARRIERS. lie replied that
he had not Therefore at last seven

nothing satisfactory. Just at this juno

Her friend was immensely gratihed at

Thereupon 10 was agreed that the bride

As soon as her friend had gone she got
