ATHENS, Greece, Jan. 10 Thy
mail Tho ever-expected, much.
discussed and feared, but long.
delayed attack ON Egypt has be-
gun! Fifty thousand Turks,
Arabs and Beduins have been
massed In the Holy Land ready
for a desperate dash across the
Wilderness of Moses, $50 miles OF
parched desert, where in the hot
season water Is worth 81 an
ounce!
Perhaps even now this marvel.
Gus expedition, unique in world
history, is on its dangerous march
over the hot sands of 1T Till, In
the center Of the Sinai peninsula,
where even In winter the sun
beats down with equatorial In
tensity.
With 1t go 5000 camels, light
and heavy artillery, thirty light
steel pontoon boats to bridge the
|Suez canal and thousands of bags
of concrete with which to con-
|struct a dam to block Britain g
artery 10 inula.
May BE Horror.
Whether this daring scheme
will result in military horror or
in a brilliant achievement remains
for the next few weeks to show.
The British garrisons are
alarmed and already outposts
have been detained in Egypt and
are now firmly intrenched in the
barren wastes to the east of the
canal with the Territorials from
Great Britain, which have garri-
soned the country since the regu-
lars were taken to Europe. By
the way, the Territorial troops
now defending Egypt are almost
wholly Australian Irish!
Germans Direct.
The drive over the desert Is be-
ing directed by 81 German Off
GERS, who obtained the sanction
of the Young Turk government, 1t
is claimed by the political oppo-
sition, through the medium of
enormous brides paid the ten men
OF the Turkish cabinet!
The impression prevails that
non-success of the Caucasian cam
paign against the Russians has
moved Germany to attempt the
invasion of Egypt by Turks, with
the idea of drawing the allies at
tention away from the thinning
Teuton line In Flanders.
The tremendous obstacles to
successful achievement of so dar-
ing a military feat as the capture
of Suez canal are undoubtedly
hard to picture by those in the
United States, thousands of miles
away.
Parched Sands.
Imagine the softest, loosest,
driest lake or seashore sand,
deeper than shoe tops. and pitt
less sun overhead; picture land
like that stretching away as far
as the eye carries vision, with
here and there sharp rocks bar
ring the way, and frequently a
sandstone to toss up myriads of
little particles to blind the eyes
and cement the throat.
One hundred and fifty
miles of that land is the pow
erful barrier nature has ini-
posed between the Sucz canal
and the fertile acres OF Pales-
tnie.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 80.
After speaking for eleven hours
and 35 minutes, Senator Smoot at
1925 this morning yielded the
floor to his colleague, Senator
Sutherland, in the republican fill
buster in the senate against the
government ship purchase bill
During the long night session.
Smoot talked constantly on the
general subject of shipping.
He did not use the time Killing
methods ordinarily adopted to
furnish sufficient language to re-
tain the floor. His performance
was one OF the most remarkable
in the history of the senate in
his regard.

Mr.. Cleveland made a perilous trip of
500 miles with dog team alone from
Iditarod on his journey toward the
