EGYPT'S PART

Egypt has contributed in a striking man
her, both directly and indirectly. to the
successful conduct OF the war, first in the
total absence OF political agitation and
also in the extreme loyalty of the Egyptian
people, says the London Times
When the war broke out, and even after
there was much to bring about an antag-
onstic attitude towards the British rulers
The country was overrun by spies and Sc
cret agents, all in the pay of the German
and Turkish governments, who I'D their
best to create Il spirit of dissatisfaction
with the existing regime, and to stir up re
hgiOus and political trouble. These agents
worked hard and assiduousIy. but their la
bOrs proved in vain.
1t has always been said that the keynote
to the maintenance of peaceful conditions
Internally, and to the siencing OF all po-
litical agitation, in Egypt is the assurance
G! the Well-beine- Of the masses Recog-
nizing that the average Egyptian is by
nature Indifferent to outside occurrences.
especially provided that his daily life and
his material welfare continue untouched.
the Anglo-E9yptian authorities have done
all that they could not to Interfere with but
to assist the normal life OF the people, and
IS a result OF this policy, combined with the
Contentment induced by excellent returns
from their crops, the mass OF the people
have from the outset turned deaf ear to
the promptings of German agents
'Inter:ial trouble in Egypt might easily
have forced us to employ here portion Of
ctr small army more actively THAI would
have suited us in the early days. Not only
did the peaceful and friendly attitude OF the
Egyptians relieve us from this necessity
but were actually able to Use the I<gyp-
tan army FREELY and without eve d Icav-
ening of white troops. for the policing OF
the frontiers of the Sudan. where. as in
times of peace. we had to deal with tribal
affairs. The reConquest Of Dattur, for
many years a thorn in the side OF the
Sudan Government owing 10 the trucr-
lcnce Of its Sultan. Ali Dinar. was carried
out almost entirely by means OF Egyptian
troops, the only white men employed be
ing the senior officers some non-Conmis-
stoned officers, and the Royal FLYING Corps
Section, which accompanied the expedi-
ton and did fine work. During TIL, attacks
on the Canal and the fighting with the
Senussi on the western frontier there was
al absence OF all agitation and disaffcction
in Egypt"

POTATO Notes

The potatoes are growing nicely
or would be doing SO if only they
could be let alone by the rust and
lice. The rust is doing considerable
work in spots, but has not yet be-
come serious. In many fields the lice
are trimming the plants badly. SO
that those fields will do we'll to pro.
duce half crop. The farmers are
after the lice with nicotine and some
times with kerosene. Many potatoes
In the United States in 1906 were
badly troubled with this same pest,
but they did not do any particular
harm in Aroostook. However, they
are causing worry enough now. They
are little green insects that seem to
strike field all at once and ruin it
before farmer is aware Of it. They
suck the sap out of the leaves and
stalks, and seem to have an awful
appetite. The coming month is GER

tions Of the enemy line had occurred
and the British were operating well

of the French armies from the vi
cinity Of Lassigny to Scissors, a
mighty wedge seemingly has been
driven in between the armies of Gen.
