What can Turkey
Do to Egypt?

Do to Egypt?
The next question is: What
are the chances of Turkish at
tack against Egypt? Anineasion
by sea being out of consideration
the only possibility is for a Turk
ish force to proceed from the
Syrian frontier and cross the
Suez Canal. The boundaries of
Egypt extend some distance be-
yond this canal, including the |
the whole of the Sinai peninsula
a desert of sandy hills. Actually |
only two caravan routes lead
from the frontier across this
desert to the canal. Both are
$50 to 100 miles long through
absolute wilderness.
This would mean ten days march
ing for an invading army. Fur
ther, this army mist rely only
on it's own provisions and water
supply, since even the wells have
been mined and destroyed. The
only possible method of transpor.
tation through this desert of sand
is the canal, and, according to
authorities, it is reckoned that a
complete equipment, baggage,
ammunition, and water for the
period of ten days would require
a load of camel and a half for
every soldier. An army of 60, 900
men would then require 10000
camels.
Naturally, only the transport
of the very lightest artillery is
thus possible. Should the Turks
succee in overcoming these diff.
culties, they would only be al
the beginning of their trou bles
since they would still have the
Suez Canal to cross, a canal fifty
meters wide at its narrowes'
J part.
, And England is ready and pre-
pared. All along the Egyptian
side large entrenched camp
t has been built, fortified with
artillery, and an army composed
only of whites and Indians il
there on watch. That this army

red from the fact that in Cair,

Statistics of Wars Losses

Early IN the war LOLll hltCuSHei
had said that the struggle might
last three years. What seemed
u mere rough estimate becomes
tor more significant examined
10y the few statistics yet availa-
Die, which show the wastage OF
war. Thus it seems fair to esti-
mate that Germany has now in
the field 100000 men, France
> 200, 900 Austria, 1000, 900,
Russia 100000. England at no
distant date will have 1000, 900
on the Continent. Servia and
Belgium may be reckoned to
have 250,000
Now as far as Russia isconcerned
her supply of men is for any or
binary calculation inexhaustible
That she can keep her European
force at 100000 for three years,
despite battle Losses is hardly
debatable. As to England, her
a bility to maintain an army OF
| 200, 900 on the Continent in
definitely and Despite losses is
equally to accepted. 1t is differ
ent with France. Her available
military population may be reck-
oned at 100000. OF this she
has already lost 100000 by
death, capture, disease or wounds
Half ofithis mum Der may be reck-
und as permanently lost. AT
this rate, France will be reduced
at the opening of the third year
Of war to 1900, 900. With her
lallies she will then have 6,OOJ-
900 men. But her losses in. this
wear cannot be made good, save
by the new class coming to the
colors in 1917 and levies from
her colonies. Now Germany may
be reckoned to have ha d 5000
900 men available for service Ill
July, 1914; 800, 200 more will be
supplied by the combind classes
# l9l6and 1917. German losses
in the first six months may be
estimated at $4,000, 1000. At this
rate, 100000 will be removed
permanently from the German
lines in each of the first two years
Of war. Thus, at the opening OF
the third, Germany will still
have 100000 men to draw on.
But her losses thereafter will be
definite, because she will have
exhausted her reserve. As to
Austria, she has lost more than
] ,O00,0 900 already in her many
disasters. She may still have
| ,000, 900 in the field, but year
hence, two years hence, she can
hope for no more and her resource
too, will be completely exhaust
ed, Thus, as the third year of the
war opens not more than 1000.
300 Austro.G Germans, the last
line, will confront 5000, 900
Russians, British, and France
helped by some hundreds of
thousands of Slavs and Belgians
behind whom will stand Russia n
aid British reserves of at lea ST
4, 900, 900. This means, with ever
discount for the roughness of the
estimate, that sometime in the
third year, while Russia and
Britain are still able to keep
! their armies at their present
point, Auto. German forces will
begin TO decline rapidly and a

She met young man. and when she

People who had known her for years
didn't recognize her when they met her
on the street. Daughters friends asked
her to tea: daughters beaux fell In love

And all at once this happened all in
