ceding many really trivial demands OF
the nationalists. and explaining pa
tiently the present impracticability of
others, the ominous nationalist move
ment, so far as 1t Is bona fide, would
have had scarcely a leg to stand upon.
The bull-doggy attitude of the admin

The Donkeye Favor British Rule.
The substantial and manifest advan-
tages of British rule are better illus
trated than explained at length. The
donkeys of Egypt, for instance. would
vote unanimously for the present re-
gime IL the suffrage were extended to
them. The simple reason is that it is
now against the law for a man to use
a beast with a sore back. The police
man may stop any donkey, camel or
horse on the highway, remove it's load,
and If its back is raw arrest the
driver. There are even policemen
for this special purpose. The great
significance Of this instance lies in the
fact that the Moslem seems to delight
in ill-treating and half-starving his
animals, and any European or Ameri-
can travellers through Islamic coun-
tries is IN a constant state of indig-
nation over the sore backs of most of
the beasts. Now in Egypt the Brit
ish have replaced these usages with
the standards Of civilization.

MAKE BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR
French Machine Transforms the
Wheat Directly Into Dough-
Loaves Are Filled With Holes.

In France bread Las been made
without flour in machine that trans
forms the wheat directly into dough.
This machine shows a large screw
turning loosely in 4 case on the inner
surface of which is a screw thread
running in an opposite direction.
Between the main threads on the
cylinder are smaller threads and the
depths of the groove becomes progress
sively smaller from one end to the
other, so that it will hold the entire
wheat grain as 1t enters the machine,
at the same time accommodating only
the pulverized wheat at the exit.
The wheat is prepared by a thor
ough washing, after which operation.
says Harper's Weekly, about a pint of
tepid water to pound of grain is
added, the whole mixture being al
lowed to stand some six hours. Then
the grains Of wheat have swollen to.
twice their ordinary size.
The mixture is then treated with
yeast and salt and is poured into the
machine. 1t falls between the threads
OF the moving screw and of the fixed
contrary screw, which simultaneously
crush the envelope and body of the
grain, making Of them homogeneous
mixture that forms smooth paste.
Bread made by this process conf
tains succession of holes whose size
increases as they approach the crust,
which is thin. The odor given off is
said to especially agreeable.

point is made-I have it from Cairo
editor-that il the nationalists siNl
cerely stood for Egypt for the EgypS
tians" they would give the Copt a
show, for he is the simon-2ure Egyp-
tian.
As a matter of fact, the Copts are
solidly opposed to the plans and
methods Of the nationalists. They say
that it is merely a subtle form Of the
old pan-Islamic propaganda, and that
what is really intended is to restore
the temporal power of the religion Of
the Prophet; when 1t would be good
bye to the liberty and equality which
the oft-persecuted Copts now enjoy
under British rule. A rather sinister
fact is pointed out in this connection
The prime minister who was sssas

that is, an Egyptian Of the ancient lin

StidNS, III ldCI-WhICu SHOWS luS
trend OF the new times is the fact
that the natives are no longer allowed
to torment travellers for backsheesh.
Egypt without its swarm of beggars
and pseudo guides, crying back
sheesh," is almost inconceivable to
the travellers who know only the
Egypt of few years ago. This mir
acle has been wrought. Signs have
been posted in trains, hotels, on ships
and at the principal sites, urging tray
elers TO do their part in saving the
people from this pauperization. In the
same category might be mentioned
the dispensaries to deliver the land
from the curse of sore eyes and con-
seQuent blindness.
The Bedouins have been made tract
able, the safety of the whole country
has been assured, and the welfare and
prosperity OF the people sought in ev-
cry conceivable way. The Nile dams
and improved irrigation, which have
enabled the fellah TO make good liv-
ing, in the possession of which COM
petence the government safeguards
him, are in themselves sufficient JUS
tiflcation for the British occupation.
Old residents of the east have called
my attention TO the fact that 25 years
ago Syria was a model of prosperity,
while Egypt was bankrupt, and in the
grip of all that goes with Oriental des-
potism. Today Egypt's prosperity is
far ahead Of anything Syria has ever
known, and educated young Syrian
men by the hundreds find employment
in Egypt and the Sudan. All this is
clear testimony to the beneficence of
British rule.
The Mosiem Menace.
A diligent study of conditions in
Egypt leads me to the conviction that
the real root Of the whole unrest lies
in the seemingly ineradicable antipa-
thy between Moslems and Christians.
1t is less because Great Britain Is a
foreign power in Egypt than that it is
q Christian power which makes it OBJ
jectionable. For thirteen centuries
Egypt has been under Moslem gov
ernment; now to find herself under
Christian rule Is CALLING to the faith
full. Such men as Sheikh Shawfish,
the nationalist leader recently out of
prison with the halo Of martyrdom en-
his brow, frankly avowed to me that
the nationalists look forward to Turk
ish sovereignty. He said that it was
because Great Britain was scared by
the success of constitutional govern
ment in Turkey, and the knowledge
that Turkey would never be content
to let Egypt remain out of her hands,
that the British stirred up this blga-
boo of sedition. He says that, in ter
ror Of consequences, the British have
strengthened their forces at the Gulf
of Akbar, putting only Englishmen in
command, and are preparing to resist
Turkeys expected attempt to compel
the return Of Egypt to its rightful su-
zerain.

aA11SNNNN~0
NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-Interest IN
the case of FoIke e. Brandt was divid-
ed today between Albany and New
York. Attorney General Carmody is
to appear before Governor Dix in Al
bany and urge that a full pardon be
given to the former valet OF NORTH
mer L. Schiff, the banker, sentenced to
80 years Imprisonment for burglary.
Meanwhile in this city Justice Ger
ard, of the supreme court, is expected
to hand down a decision in the ma
beas corpus case before him, sustain
ing the writ and directing that the
valet be set free. Justice Gerard is
said. to have withheld his opinion IN
the habeas corpus matter. out OF cour-
tesy to Governor Dix and because he
believes that executive cIemency would
be the best solution of the whole mat
ter.
Counsel for Schiff were expected to
oppose executive .clemency and to urge
That the hearings bf0re Commission
er Hand be continued. Lawyers for
Schiff and for his counsel, Mr.. Cans.
were prepared to show Governor Dix
that testimony of Mr.. Schiff and Mr..
Cans at the Hand hearing would not
give them immunity in case of in
dictments by the grand jury which is
now trying to determine If there was
conspiracy to send Brandt away for
a long prison term. The belief here is
that the Hand hearing is dead.

CEDAR RAPIDS. Ia, Feb. 21.-Five
men made an unsuccessful attempt to
hold up passenger train No. 9, west
pound, on the Chicago Northwestern
railroad at o'clock this morning near
Bertram, nine miles east of here.
The train is known as the fast NAH
and carried no passengers. 1t was
forced to slow to four miles an hour
on account OF construction work being
done on the outskirts of the village and
it was at this point the men signaled
the engineer to stop.
Suspicious of the irregular method
used in signalling the engineer did not
bring his train to a stop. When the
train failed to stop, one of the bandits
opened fire on the engineer hitting him
in the arm. Throwing on all steam, the
engineer brought his train to this city,
where a posse was formed and started
in pursuit Of the bandits.
