Mainly a Threat.

Since there is no other way Germany
can attack Great Britain, and she. is bo-
ginning TO realize that Britain is tbs
dangerous foe, the Suez attack will prob
ably be made. But il is hardly likely to
be made in haste. It is. believe, more
Of a threat than a serious purpose. The
Germans hope that the menace will bring
the British TO listen to terms of peace that
do not carry any immediate loss 10 Great
Britain. If the attempt is made and fails,
Germany loses her last lever upon British
opinion: so far as Britain is concerned she
will have shot her last bolt.
Like the Balkan adventure, believe tbs
Egyptian conception is from the German
point of view political rather than milf
tary. Perhaps there are Germans who
believe that the capture OF Egypt would
bring Britain to heel, but they are not tho
men in charge Of German military affairs
Yet the effect upon the world of tho men
ace has already been considerable; it
opens new horizons TO the German public,
whose hatred of the British has grown in
recent months as the immunity of Britain
from injury has been more and moro ap
preciated.
But Egypt, like the Balkans, is essen
TALLY a sideshow. The war must be won
in Flanders and Poland. Napoleon dis
covered his mistake in Egypt and returned
to France. He was carried away BY
dream as romantic as the present leu
tonic conception, but he gave it up soon.
Meantime, it is we'll TO think Of the
attack as directed against position with
front of not more than hundred miles,
more than half of which is wholly inacces-
sible, owing to the lakes; it is well TO re-
member that the defenders have behind
them a railroad and a canal OF fresh
water, that they have nearby bases upon
the sea- from which they can draw every
sort Of supply and unlimited reinforce
ments in men. Match this against the
Teuto-Turk prospect at the end of their
long single track railroad and with =
desert before them, and it is easy to SEQ
that the advance upon Suez is, in reality,
a forlorn hope, gambling venture. wit
little more than the gamblers chance
success.

venture, dictated by desire on the part
Of the Germans to obtain possession Of
something that will enable them 20 talk
peace, not war, with the British They
have French. Belgian, Serbian, Russian
territory; they have basis Of negotiations
with the Italians; but Britain has entirely
escaped them, and only through Egypt is
there a way Of approach left open.
Britain Should Win.
But what reason Is there for German
success here? The British have at their
backs line Of railroad paralleling tho
conal and lire going TO Cairo. They
have sea base at Alexandria, at Sues,
at Port Said. They command the Med
iterranean and they can bring any number
Of troops and any amount Of munitions
and supplies TO Egypt both from Europs
and from Asia, South Africa and Aus
trala.
To match the resources Of an assailant
who has to move his troops for fifteen
hundred miles over a single track railroad
and then for more than a hundred over q
terrible desert, the British are able TO
bring their troops TO the firing line by
train and troopship, they are able 10
bring warships to reinforce land artillery.
and they have all Egypt behind them as q
source for supplies.
1t is difficult 10 gee how anything but
supreme carelessness could give the Turks
even the smallest chance. They have moth
ing like the chance of the British at Gal
lipoli, for the British advance was covered
by the fleet; their munitions must come
from Germany and their water must be
shipped across the desert. They will deal
with British officers used TO desert fight
ing.
1t is idle 20 attempt 10 forecast the out
come Of the Egyptian campaign, yet II Is
clear that without difficulty Great Britain
can put quarter Of million troops along
the canal, she can call back her troops sc
Gallipol and Salonica if necessary, AID
she has sure source Of aid in her feet
and in the ships of her French and Italian
allies
Turkey. eager TO recover the lost Egyp-
tan and Tripolitan provinces, TO recon-
quer Africa, will unquestionably make the
campaign gladly; but it is well TO remem-
Der that practically the whole campaign
will have to be made by the Turks. Ar
tillery and officers may be German, engi-
neers and railroad managers may be
Teutonic, but the majority of the officers
and enlisted men will be Turkish, and the
supply of Turks, like that of Teutons, Is
not inexhsustible. and heavy drafts have
been made upon the resources by the pres
ent and the previous war.

Turkeys First Try.

What happened in the first drive at
Suez we know in part. Roughly speaking,
it was this: Some $4,000 Turks pushed
rapidly west across the desert from FL
Arish and arrived at the edge Of the canal.
On their arrival they found that the first
thirty miles of the ditch had been covered
by great foundations; British engineers
had coaxed the water back from the Medi
terranean into the ancient Lake of finch,
and as far south as FL Kantara wall of
water shut off the invaders from the
canal.
But at FL Kantara, which in Arabic
means bridge" the ancient caravan
route from Syria to Egypt passed between
the old Lake Of Tineh and another lake,
that Of Balai, through the bed of which
the canal had been laid. A gap Of two or
three miles here, protected only by the
narrow ditch of the canal itself, led into
Egypt. Apparently, however, the gap was
TOO strongly fortified, for no serious at
tack was made here.
South of the Balai Lake there is an
other gap, this some eight miles wide, be-

troops. The wells would be rendered IN
fit for use, and II would be necessary TO
carry the water needed with the army.
On the other hand there is no real obsta-
Gle 20 the construction OF light railroad
behind the army as it advances. Thus the
German leaders might AXE a leaf out OF
the book Of Kitchcner's campaign in the
Sudan and to Khartum. At the end OF
two or three months of operations there is
no reason why the Germans should not
succeed in extending to the very edge of
the Suez Canal light railway connect
inc with the Mecca line south of the Dead
Sea. provided only that the British choose
to wait for the invasion behind their own
Notifications at the edge Ct the canal
BY contrast, it must be remembered that
the British are able. if they choose, with
far greater ease and resources at their
command. to extend the railroad that now
reaches the canal at lsmailia, coming east
from Cairo, eastward across the desert TO
any point they may select as place for
making their defence of the canal. What
they have recently done to prepare against
the attack we know little about, but it is
fact that the British have faced one
such attack, and for more than year
have known that second and more
serious thrust was likely to come.
1t is justifable to suppose that the
British may have elected to defend the
Suez Canal to the east of the waterway
because one of the objects of the defence
is not merely to keep the Turks out Of
Egypt, but to preserve the great ditch
safe and thus keep open the short road to
India, while tho Teuto-Turks will win n
partial victory If they are able TO destroy
the canal, even if they fail to reach the
Nile

The Limit Of Profit.

On the other hand, it must be recog-
nized that to destroy the canal Temporal
rily would bring only limited amount of
profit. While the through traffic with
the East, with India and China, would
have to 20 by the Cape route, involving
an extra 5000 miles of steaming, there
would still be open the raj road and river
route by the Nile and Port Sudan, which
would enable the British to move troops
to the east or the west, and, if the Suez-
Cairo railroad were not destroyed, 1t
would be possible TO send them by Alex
andria, Cairo and Suez.
In point of fact, it is plain that the
Germans have considerably exaggerated
the Importance of the Suez Canal to Great
Britain. If they are able to get into the
Nile Valley, close the canal and conquer
Egvpt they will have succeeded in land
ing the first heavy blow on Britain that
has yet fallen.
But such a blow will not cut Great
Britain of from the East; it will not i'm
peril the imperial edifce, because there
are other roads to India-by the Cape,
by Canada and by Panama. From Egypt
Britain draws nothing that is vital to
her life at home; the colony is purely one
of exploitation. Perhaps the chief advan-
tage for Germany might be the acquisition
of cotton, if the crop were not destroyed
by the British.
By taking Egypt Germany will deal a
heavy blow TO British prestige in the
East; she will threaten all North Africa,
and it will be in her power TO destroy the
great public works that the British have
constructed in Egypt. This will be very
heavy loss for the British; but it will not
be such a loss as they would have suffered
if the Germans had been able TO reach
Calais and command the Strait of Dover
it will be an injury, but not the sort of
injury that makes a nation give up
fighting.
The more one examines the Suez project
tho more plainly 1t seems . desperate

The First Failure.

For the attack the Turks had brought
with them large number of small boats,
constructed by German mechanics. Under
cover of their artillery, and taking ad-
vantage Of fog, the Turks made gen.
eral attack and succeeded in launching a
number of boats, but these were promptly
overwhelmed by British artillery fire and
none of them ever reached the western
bank of the canal.
Meantime the Turks were heavily bonn
barded by number of British and French
warships which had been stationed at in
tervals along the canal. For their part
the Turks succeeded in disabling tempo
rarily one of the ships, but their defeat
was complete. The next day the British
buried some 800 bodies at one point, and
the total loss of the expedition was esti-
mated at above 10000.
One more attack the Turks did make
This was little more than a demonstra'
ton against the final stretch Of the canal
between the Bitter Lakes and the Gulf OF
Suez; but this was easily beaten off. After
a very brief delay the whole expedition
took to It's heels and fed back across the
desert.
So much for the first failure. Exam
ming the map, it is plain that the new
attack. if it comes, will be directed either
against the Tusum-Serapeum front or else
to the north, between the Balai and Tim
sab lakes. because a successful attack at
either point would cut the railroad and
isolate the balance of the force defending
the front.
In their first attack the Turks disclosed
few heavy guns, and were actually de-
feated by the heavy artillery of their
foes. It may be expected that in any
new attempt they will be provided with
very heavy German artillery, and that one
of the purposes Of their attack will be
to destroy the waterway, even if they are
unable TO force a way into Egypt Quite
as plainly the British purpose must be
to protect the waterway; to save Egypt
and lose the use of the Suez Canal for
some months would be, if not defeat, a
very real hardship.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-01-02

tween Balai Lake and Timsah Lake Here
the canal passes through the Gishr cut
ting, which recalls Culebra, and was the
one considerable obstacle that the engi-
neers who built the ditch had to deal
with. Here there Is a ridge some So feet
above the sea level. But again the Turks
made little effort In this gap, combining
themselves TO a demonstration while the
main operation was going on.
South again there is another gap, some
five miles wide, between Timsah Lake and
the Bitter Lakes, which together form
considerable body Of water more than ten
miles long. 1t was at this gap that the
Turks aimed their main attack last year.
The Importance of the point is plain from
the map. Just 10 the north, near the town
of Ismailia, the railroad, coming east
from Cairo, forks, sending one branch
north along the west bank Of the canal
TO Port Said, on the Mediterranean, and
another south on the west bank 10
Suez. Cairo is less than hundred miles
due west from Ismailia, and from the
Niles there comes east parallel to the
railroad a fresh water canal.
Had the Turks been able to cross the
canal at this point they would promptly
have cut the railroad, isolating both Suez
and Port Said and opening road straight
to Cairo. To do this they launched a
series of attacks upon the small villages
of Tusum and Serapeum, both west Of the
canal.

The happy administration of Grand

its close at the Grand Lodge session
in Jefferson City which convened in
the hall of the House of Representa-

ing the tenure of office had been
enacted four years before, but there
was a strong disposition upon the
part Of many friends of the Grand
Master to ignore the provision and
continue the incumbent in office.
Nevertheless that same balance wheel

been relied upon when crises have
arisen in the body manifested itself
again this time and the Grand Mas
