Some persons there are who say
that Germany should be permitted to
fulfill her ambitions in this region.
Everybody knows that primary con-
sideration in the building of the Bag
dad railway is to give Germany &C
cess to the wheat and cotton fields OF
Mesopotamia. Here lies the potential
granary which Germany so much
needs. Here, too, may be grown the
cotton for which her spindles are
hungry. In all her projects looking
toward the Persian gulf she has been
hindered by Great Britain and Russia.
Now school of British statesmen
among whom Sir William Willoocks
may be counted, have arisen to ask
for Germany the outlet that she so
sorely needs. At present she Is bot
tied up. 1t is this very repression
argue the men of this new school,
which makes Germany a menace to
the peace of Europe and the world.
Give her legitimate outlet for her
energies, and she will cease to keep
the statesmen of other nations awake
at night. Let her take on Mesopo-
tamia, or large part Of 1t, and she
will have troubles enough right at
hand, as we'll as a field for the Ia
bors of her surplus population. 1t
would be inconsonance with the ideals
Of the twentieth century, and In par
ticular with those of Sir William Will
cocks, If the great dream, and equally
great achievements of this Briton,
aided by others of King Georges sub
jects, should be instrumental In de-
livering his country from the peril OF
German militarism, while at the same
time doing an incalculable service to
humanity.

The immediate results of the new
irrigation are fairly staggering. The
land which within three years will be
calling for settlers will, according to

Coops in Fields for Babies.

That necessity is the mother of in
vention is shown by the hundreds Of
little buildings resembling chicken
coops which are scattered over the
wheat fields of Weld county to pro-
vide daytime homes for the babies Of
the Russians who work in the wheat
fields.
The Russian mothers are obliged to
take their babies to the fields and
have built these little structures OF
wood, covering them with canvas. At
noon and once in the morning and in
the afternoon the mothers visit their
children, leaving them alone for the
remainder of the day.
The youngsters are apparently con-
tented and remain in their little coops
without cry, gazing through the stats
at the passersby.-Greeley CORE

,densat populations which filled this
delta in a former time were not saw
ages or barbarians; they represented
alike the beginnings and the high
water mark of ancient civilization.
Greece and Rome were the heirs OF
this Eastern culture. Here 1t was
that many of the fundamental inven-
lions of civilization had their origin.
It was here that wheat and barley
were first domesticated. Some Of the
sciences took their rise in this part
of the world. A code of laws as old,
or older, than the Mosaic, is now
known to have prevailed in this Baby
lonian civilization.
For the present 1t Is enough to re-
call that a complete and wonderful
system of canals covered all the land
known as lower Mesopotamia. Moth
ing like 1T is known in modern times;
engineers have freely conceded high
praise to this achievement. Not until
Sir William Willcocks took up the
subject, from high humanitarian mo-
tives, was the establishment of the
Babylonian canals ever seriously con-
sidered. His preliminary observations
led him to breach the question, and
five years ago he undertook, on be-
half of the Turkish government, whose
interest he had enlisted, the actual
mapping out and beginning Of canal
system. This he has done for NOM
inal salary, which has straightway
gone back into the project. In some
cases the lines of the old canals,
which to this day are the outstanding
feature of Mesopotamian scenery, are
followed. In others, newer methods,
made possible by modern engineering
skill, are employed.
A Livelihood for New Millions.
The Willcocks operations, which the
engineering firm Of Sir John Jackson
take over at the first of April, provide
for two great works to be completed
in less than three years. One of these

rage may be ready in year and a
half, three million acres of land that
is at present arid, will be available for
cultivation The only real obstacle
feared by those engaged in the work
is the lack Of stablemindednes of the
Turkish government, and its depleted
treasury. This latter point is covered.
it is understood in these parts, by the
terms of the contract with Sir John
Jackson, who practically finances the
undertaking, recouping himself from
the income off the new lands, recelv-
ing what is equivalent to seven per
cent on the investment.
At present the area affected by the
irrigation project contains about a
million ID half of population. These
are mostly poor Arabs, who subsist
on a pittance, so that thousands OF
them are glad to get work on the new
canals and barrages at IL cents day.
The women and children make even
less than this. while some of the fore.
men and picked wOrkmen receive as
much as 25 cents day. All, however,
are learning. to a degree, the habits of
steady industry which will stand them
in stead when they come to take up
the land that is being redeemed by
their present labors Sir William Will
cocks is authority for the statement
that there should be livelihood for
twelve million people in the reclaimed
area.
Where these extra ten and a half
millions Of population are to come
from gives concern to some students
of the scheme, inasmuch as the Young
Turks refuse to admit any settlers
who will not become Turkish subjects.
Otherwise the surplus peoples of In
dia and Egypt, already trained to work
on irrigated land, would quickly find
their way here. 1t Is not at all I'M
likely that within the next three years
the chauvinistic Young Turks will
have had Christening that will re-
move this difficulty. In any case there
are the industrious Kurds of the
mountains who would flock down in
numbers, while the Moslem Persians
have no scruples against exchanging
their present sovereign for the caliph
of all the faithful. Then there is the
not unreasonable prospect that the
rowing Bedouin will settle down to ag-
riculture, when conditions become
more stable in the land.
Is This Germany's Chance?
At present the delta is land of
lawlessness. Some of the tribes along
the lower reaches of the two rivers
are little better than sheer savages.
Everybody carries gun or a stout
cudgel, with a ball of pitch on the
end. The lack of safety for the farm
er is one reason for the abandonment
of the old irrigation works. The new
government however. has vigorously

Tree Destroyers.

Porcupines are good climbers. and
when unable to get enough apples
wfnd-blown to tho ground, swarm a
tree and cut down the finest bearing
limbs as quickly and neatly as a beav-
er can sever the trunk of young
hemlock. Besides that, when other
food is scarce they .nibble the bark
off young apple trees, and can destroy
a newly planted orchard in a short
time. They also are a great enemy to
the young spruce, but why they cut
them is mystery, as it is not found
that they even eat the tenderest
shoots.
