tility to the Valley Of the
Euphrates.

For several years before the war
began the Turkish government was
building irrigation dams across the
Euphrates. reopening the old Babylo-
nian canals which had long been filled
with sand, and building new canals
to reclaim the country When the
war broke out work upon this great
irrigation project ceased. After the
war it will doubtless be resumed. and
one may easily imagine the changes
which will then take place. All Of
that wonderfully fertile valley will be
reclaimed. The wide plains, where
now the herds of the Bedouin find
scant pasturage. will be dotted with
date groves and grain fields, and mil

The result OF this attitude, they

farms have been neglected and prac.
