EGYPT ANTICIPATING
PR0VERBIAL SEVEN
YEARS OF PROSPERITY
(BY Associated Press)

ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, Dec. Is
After the proverbial seven lean years"
Egypt is anticipating seven years of
prosperity in the tourist business.
Since 1914, the garcons de hotel, the
guides and dragomen, the vendors Of
antiquities, the donkey and camel
drivers have had but the leanest of
pickings from the impecunious mil
itary.
But, already the news has gone forth
that seven Mediterranean cruises are
being organized in America. From the
porters and cabby drivers at AleXand-
ria to the humblest donkey boys at
Luxor, Egypt is rejoicing and count
ing in advance the American dollars
which will gladden. their hearts and
tighten their days.
In the bazaars, stocks of brass ware.
silks and satins, amber cigarettes and
oriental perfumes, scarabs and amber
beads are being prepared to bewilder
the American tourists and entice from
them their precious dollars.
The donkey boys are polishing up
their saddles and harness, and chang
ing the names of their amusing charS-
ers from Allenby and Foch to Harding
and Wilson. The hotels are being re-
fitted dances and teas are being plan
ned to add to the comforts and amuse-
ment of the hoped for guests.
Brilliant Season Predicted
The famous Dahabiyehs of the Nile
are being painted and redecorated to
add to the charms and destinations
that the old River has to hold ont
to its visitors and admirers. Every
thing points to a brilliant season. In
consequence all Egypt is praising Allah
and blessing the lucky Americans.
With direct railway connections. din
ing and sleeping car accommodations
understood. between Cairo and Jerus-
alem, American tourists can look for
ward to an easy and comfortable trip
to the Holy Land from Egypt.
The Holy Land offers even greater
attractions than ever before. New
roads and railroads have been built
and every opportunity is offered the
happy tourist to visit the famous bat
tie fields of GAIA and Tul Kerum,
where the power of the Turks was
broken and Palestine returned once
more to Christian rule. For the first
time in several centuries Christians
are ruling at Jerusalem, where the
Moslem have held sway ever since the
warlike followers of the Prophet drove
the Crusaders from the Holy Land.
