Valuable Land In Egypt.

The presence in this country of Sir
William Willcocks, of Assouan dam
fame, and now engaged on the flood
control of the Tigris-Euphrates river,
is an event of more than ordinary sig
nificaRce, because of its bearing upon
the question of the control of flood
water, says the Wall Street Journal.
The Nile valley irrigation works, &C
cording to Sir William, has enabled
100000 people to live on 100000
acres. Land. he says, In the vicinity
of the Assouan dam is worth from
$3.50 to $1,000 an acre. and they raise
five hundredweight of cotton on it.

methods of controlling the Mississippi
is Of much value because of his ex-

the levees be made wider and that
relief channels be provided to mitigate
the strain when waters at their maxi
mum might be carried off as a means
of safety.

mo country in the world has as

Macarthur. This is due to the in

that of our own Their armies are at
all times kept upon war footing. as
a result of which they have ample op-
portunity for the perfect training OF
the personnel in the practical duties

THE most striking feature in our
service is the absence of what con-
stitutes the very essence of the for
eign establishments; that is, great
standing army serving in corps. di-

erage officer of any grade learns the
