ing of their coming. But some moving
spirits hurriedly made arrangements to
receive them upon their arrival in town
and also telephoned to accommodating
farmers and asked them to be ready
with teams to render first aid to the
tourists should their machines be un.
able to climb Schaaf's hill, where the
new road is as yet unfinished. The
trip was made successfully.

Staple Food of Costa RIGA.

Rice is one of the most important
articles of food used in Costa Rica. It
is eaten at least twice day by every
inhabitant of the republic. The per
capita consumption of rice in Costa
Rica is thus at least 100 pounds a
year, and the total amount of rice con-
sumed is 100000 pounds a year.

THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT
AS SEEN FROM DAY TO DAY

The chances of success are not
favorable to the assailants. The
most persistent lesson of the war
has been the superiority OF defensive
fighting over offensive. The British
ought to have large advantage be-
cause of the fact, which should be
tlrther increased because of the COM
munication difficulties that must at
tend any approach upon Egypt from
the east. The desert OF the Sinai
peninsula, 100 miles wide, must be
crossed by the invaders and the mill
tary problems of the sands have nev-
er vet been solved.
Two possibilities exist OF favor

tan. The British may underrate the
strength and tenacity OF their en-
envy as they so often have done
hitherto and may lose Egypt through
delaying the dispatch of a sufficient
force for it's defense. There are n
number of indications, however, that

and that immense concentrations of
troops have already been made I'm

NEW YORK Dec. 1S.-Reports
that the Germens are preparing to
develop a new offensive against
Egypt are probably true. There
seems little doubt but that large
Turkish forces are being concentrat-
ed about Bethlehem. Nazareth and
Jerusalem, and it is a fair inference
that the army is to be used against
Egypt, rather than that it is to push
on o 3Rgdad.
II is far more important for the
Turks tO gain a foothold in Egypt
than to drive the British out OF the
garden of Eden, and t.e Germans
unquestionably are encouraging the
Ottomans TO expect the objective
before the Teutons themselves is TO
strike a blow al the British er>Sire
anG this can only be done with any
prospect of success by invading
Egypt. Every indication suggests
therefore that the Germans and
Turks are planning 10 flaunch a
major offensive against the defenses
