It owed it's existence entirely to COM

was a great warehOuse-an emporium
supported by numerous shifting
population. The size of the city at
tests it's ancient wealth and import
ance, while its celebrity as capital
shows that it was not off the track,
but directly on one of the most i'm
portant lines of communication of it's
day. Yet, where is the glory OF
Petra? No ancient city has so thor
oughly verified the curse passed upon
it; it is forsaken by man and has be-
come the abode of the owl and the
fox.
Ruins and Sterile Sand.
All the region to the south of Petra
is marked with ruins which stage the
great road to Akaba. Akaba itself,
where Solomon established naval
DuSc anu uldluId1ucu OuSy pOA -
which Egyptian, Roman and Greek
struggled for and held in turn is now
reduced to a group of mud houses and
the remains of a fort. GAIA, on the
Mediterranean side Of the desert, used
to be considered the key to the APP
proach to Palestine. It was much in
evidence in early days. GAIA had the
presumption to hold out against the
invincible hosts of Alexander, and &C.
tually withstood twO-months' siege.
Nowadays, the sterility Of the coun-
try forbids ordinary intercourse be-
tween Egypt and Palestine. Caravans
Of pilgrims make organized crossings
Of the desert, and occasional camel
dealers come this way. But the great
roads have fallen into oblivion. Only
two recognized tracks remain in use,
namely, the pilgrim route between
Akaba and Suez and the coastal road
which runs from GAIA, through Rata
and Ell Arish, to Ell Kantara on the
Suez. The area between these roads
The Tomahawk., 1917-02-15

is bowling wilderness; without re-
liable water supply.
The respective qualities of these two
approaches to Egypt are of interest.
Generally speaking, the northern por-
ton Of the area is open, but sandy !;
the central is hard but poorly watered,
while the southern is difficult rock
country. The choice falls between the
central and the northern. In the old
days, a favorite road must have been
the hard and direct route running
from Akaba to Suez, across the heart
of the peninsula. Even now there are
serious obstacles on this road; the
surface is hard, not sandy; the alti'
tude is for the most part high, 'anc
therefore the atmosphere is cool. In.
deed, considering the proximity of the
Hedjaz railway, which passes at dis
lance of 60 miles from Akaba, it might
be supposed that this route would be
used by an invading force. The pos
sibility of running a light railway
from Malan or Akabatesh-Shamie to
Akaba and thence across the PENN
sula is seriously affected by the fact
| that Akaba is under the control of the
power that commands the sea. There
is also that sharp escarpment to the
| west of Akaba which is not easily
| negotiated.
The coast road is the one that leads
direct to Egypt, and in spite of the
dunes and bad lands of that unhealthy
maritime belt of swamp and sand. it
was sure to be used. GAIA and Beer
sheba are the points at which troops
| could be concentrated for the venture.
The old Roman road led from GAIA
close along the seashore to Potassium
now a flooded marsh. The modern
track runs parallel to this, but about
two to three miles inland. At Zaca,
halfway to Ell Arish, the true desert
commences, but the 'going" is not
troublesome until Arish is approached.
At Ell Arish water is procurable in
considerable quantity. Napoleon con-
sidered it sufficient to supply the needs
of 10000 men. Beyond Arish is the
critical stage, waterless and sandy for
65 miles. In fact, it is probable that
from Arish UPWARDS all wells have
been rendered useless, and that for
about 12O miles the invading army
must be self-supporting.
The Tomahawk., 1917-02-15

TT is significant to note how, when
the world is at war, history re-
peats itself. A trenchant example
of this occurred in the threatened
invasion of Egypt. Once again, in the
course of history, the landWard gate,
the Asiatic approach to the Nile val
ley, was about to be forced by invad-
ers. Once more the Oldest road
listened to the tramp of armed hosts
, the mastery Of that fertile strip OF
land. Throughout the ages, at period
ical times, this same drama has been
enacted. That attractive delta where
the earliest civilizations matured-
that "land Of peculiar felicity"-has
been the goal Of every conqueror who
has set out to win the world; 1t has
been the desire of every merchant and
the envy of all nations. In such war
as this, it would have been strange had
the worlds oldest Warpath been left
untrod. The road used by Assyrian,
Persian, Israelite, Greek and Roman,
the desert difficulties surmounted sue
by Napoleon were essayed by Turk and
Teuton.
Separating Africa from Asia, Egypt
from Palestine, is the peninsula of
Sinai and the desert of Eft Tih. In
the south it is rugged region OF
sandstone crags; nOrthWards it
shelves into featureless limestone
desert, finally melting into the low
lying sand dunes that border the Medi-
terranean, says Douglas Carruthers,
writing in Country Life. This is the
barrier that has stood throughout time
as Egypt's eastern frontier and is so
full of "reminiscences. In early days
all who event down to Egypt used
this desert route. The nOw-deserted
track was once the scene of busy
traffic and great enterprise. An i'm
mense trade passed and repassed
across the desert. Constant inter-
course, both political and commercial,
must have been kept up between those
two great centers Of the then known

the ancients moved to and fro along
this highway, apparently without in
convenience. The Egyptians fought in
Syria and the Babylonian kings warred
against Egypt. Many a migrating
horde of nomads has swept across
Sinai, swarming in aimless, restless
movements from Asia and Africa,

Once a Great World Highway.
Whole volumes, indeed, could be
written on the ancient history of this
junction of two continents. This would
not concern us, except for the fact
that the conditions have altered, and
a glance back may serve as a COMPARE
son. That this zone of country which
is today stricken with barrenness,
scarcely inhabited, rarely passed over
and actually forming a problem for
an army to tackle successfully, was
once the great highway of the world
shows the change that must have
taken place. There were not merely
one or two desert tracts, but many
great roads running across that belt
between Palestine and Egypt. Along
these routes were situated towns,
reservoirs, guard stations, caravan
serais and emporiums for the receipt
and dispatch of merchandise.
Not only was there much traffic, but
the region itself was of greater fer
tility than it is now. Consequently, it
was comparatively we'll populated.
Where a few half-starved Bedouins
wander dwelt the powerful and numer-
Gus Amalekites. The existence of
many an ancient town of from 5000 to
10000 inhabitants is today only dis
closed by fallen colOnnades, ruined
churches and castles. In the days
when the lands of Moab and Edom
were fiourishing districts character

cities, renowned temples, Persian pal

Petra to Akaba, bifurcating to the

bia: in those days Sinai could have
presented no difficulties to the travel

much-used highway.

Creation Of Merchant Marine Necessity

I believe that the rehabilitation OF our national
merchant marine is today economic necessity We
are devoting energies to supplying munitions
to the warning nations and to the building of ships for
foreign registry In the long range of national prog
ress and industrial independence and dominance both
these activities may well to pause and consider.
When the munition market ceases, we shall have
made appreciable progress in training our workers
or equpping industries for the great industrial
warfare that must inevitably follow the conclusion of
hostltes. In this coming conflict for markets are
in industrial preparedness.
We were startled at lack of military prepared
