now.
'All these officers. were efficient.
and were we'll acquainted with the
work" continued the chief. "They
are positions which are difficult to
learn, and with more service the
members Of the bureau become mora
valua ble"
While Rikhoff was out Of the city
last week. the board Of safety on
suggestion of Mayor Shank ap-
pointed Mrs. Mary Moore, Motor
cycle Police Harry Smith, and
Patrolman Jack O'Neel to the places
with the rank of sergeants.
The mayors move followed
passage Of an ordinance over his
veto in city council which raised the
accident prevention bureau mem
bers to sergeants.
Mayor Shank explained that If
the promotions had come through
other channels, he might have made
them, but he objected to the
councils attitude. Councilmen ex.
planned that they desired to reward
members of the accident bureau for
efficient. work.
Patrolmen are largely responsible
for the recent cleanup campaign,
Rikhoff said in commenting on the
drive ordered by Walter White and
Mayor Shank the day after he left.
IF patrolmen were alive to the
situation they would know sus-
picious characters around poolrooms
and make proper arrests" said the
chief.

EGYPTIANS FEAR

Serious as Natives
Demand English ReIin-
quiSh Sudan Control,
BIZ Times SpeciaI

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July q. Fearing
the British may some day. dry up
the Nile upon which her very life
depends, Egypt now insists. England
must yield control OF the Sudan.
The Anglo Egyptian dispute is the
more interesting because Of the
trouble Britain is having with her
colonies and dominions throughout
the world and which may yet bring
important changes within the En-
pire.
The Sudan is under the joint rule
of England and Egypt. About the
size of the United States east of the
Miss ssippi and some three times as
big IS Egypt, both the White Nile
and the Blue Nile as well as the up
per half of the Nile proper formed
by the junction Of these two, lie
within her borders.<
1t is here, in the Sudan, the Eng
lish plan two of the greatest irriga-
ton dams in the world. One. at
Makwar, to control the waters OF
the Blue Nile and the other at Gebel
Aulia, across the White Nile, TWEEN
ty-four miles south of Khartum,
where the Nile itself begins.
Country at Mercy
But for the Nile, Egypt, now sur
prisingly productive, would be just
another corner of the Great African
Desert. Thus, Egyptian leaders are
now saying, the power that controls
the waters of the upper Nile, par
ticularly above the confluence Of the
White and the Blue Nile, holds her
completely at it's mercy.
"All such a power would have to
do" they declare, SHOULD Egypt
prove recalcitrant, would be to de-
tain the Nile waters for season in
the reservoirs and irrigation canals
of Sudan"
This would be quite possible when
the two new dams are completed.
The water is low in summer, any
way, and the very purpose of the
dams is to imp6und flood waters so
as to release them gradually, share
and share alike, to the Egyptians
and Sudanese, through the dry
months. The Sudan could use it ali,
if she chose. leaving the bed of the
Nile proper lower down, dry as the
Sahara.

Famous Forts In
U. S. History
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
(9. 1924. Western Newspaper Union)
When Dutch and Swedes
Fought on u. S. Soil

When Dutch and Swedes
Fought on u. S. Soil
When Gustavus Adolphus, the great
King of Sweden, saw the success of
other European nations in planting
colonies in the New World, he resolved
to establish colony of Swedes In
America. Accordingly he formed a
colonizing company for that purpose,
but his death prevented the plan from
being carried out.
Queen Christina and Oxenstiern.
Adolphus' famous minister, however,
renewed the project and in 1888 they
sent out colony of plain, strong,
industrious people," who settled in
what is now the state of Delaware
and called it New Sweden. There they
built a fort, which stood near the
present city of Wilmington, and they
named it Fort Christina in honor Of
their queen.
The new colony was soon in trouble.
This ground was claimed by the
Dutch, who had settled New Amster.
dam quarter of a century before,
and after several years of bitter dis
pute between the Dutch and the
Swedes, Peter Stuyvesant, the choleric
old governor of New Amsterdam, re-
solved to put an end to the trouble
by expelling the Swedes from the
country.
In 1854 Stuyvesant sailed from New
Amsterdam with a fleet to capture
Fort Christina. Washington Irving, in
his inimitable "Knickerbocker's His
tory of New York." tells how Cover
nor StuyveSant called upon Gov. Jan
Risingh to surrender, how the pro-
posal was scornfully rejected, and how
the doughty Dutch warriors, following
their ancient rule of always fighting
upon full stomach ate mighty din
ner In preparing for the fray. Then,
according to this historian, "brimfuI
of wrath and cabbage" they moved for
ward to the attack. Just before reach
Ing the fort they paused, lighted their
pipes, gave furious puff and
charged CALAMITY under the cover Of
in which Governor Stuyvesant van
quished Governor Risingh in single
combat, the fort was carried without
the loss of single man.
Although we cannot accept Irving's
story unreservedly, the assault on Fort
Christina must have been something
of an opera bOuffe affair, unique In
the annals of warfare. But the tri-
umph of the Dutch was short-lived,
or in 1864 the English took possession
Of all the Dutch colonies in America
and the British flag supplanted the
Dutch banner over Fort Christina. To-
day no trace of the fort remains, but
nearby stands the little gray stone
church, built in 1898. the successor
Of the chapel in the fort where the
Swedish colonists worshiped, as re-
minder of the fort where once Dutch
man and Swede fought in America.
