10000 TR|BESMEN
MARCH ON BRITISH
Two Cruisers Sent to Basra
Air Base Ready for
Attack.
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Gable To The Star and CHICAGO Daily
News. Copyright, 1928.
LONDON. March 3.-There Is a good
deal Of uneasy speculation here as to
what repercussion rejection OF the
Anglo Egyptian treaty will have in the
East. The treaty. which was the joint
work of Sir Austen Chamberlain and
Sarwat Pasha, has been officially re-
jected. the efforts of the Egyptian prime
minister TO save 1t having proved UNI
successful.
The British government is worried
because 1t had fully expected Sarwat
Pasha would manage TO put through the
treaty, which would give another 10
years OF English control over Egypt.
Now that 1t has been proved that
Nationalist sentiment is so much awake
that even a very pro- English admins
tration was unable to accept a treaty
denying Egypt full recognition as an
independent state. the India and for
eign Offices are viewing the situation
with much misrepresentation.
Rebellion Is Seen.
1t is true enough that the British
forces in Egypt are sufficient to cope
with any emergency in case the ma
tionalists change from passive resist
ance to active rebellion, but a new fire
in the East is thing the government
wants to avoid at any price. since It
would hasten the outbreak Of hostil-
tiles In India. The India Office seems
TO believe there Is an unbroken link now
between the Egyptian and Indian ma
tionaiists. actively supported by the
Wahabi tribes in Mesopotamia under
Sheik Feisal ed Dowish. whose hostile
attitude toward the British administra-
ton developed suddenly on the eve OF
the rejection OF the Anglo Egyptian
treaty
From the news received today from
Basra IL appears that the number Of
tribesmen advancing toward that i'm
portant air base is at least 10000 war
riors. not 5000 as reported Friday. II
lis true they lack artillery and other
modern weapons. but they have In their
favor overwhelming numbers and tho
immensely Of the desert, which enables
them TO gather in unexpected places
and take the British by surprise.
Scout Work Curbed.
The Royal Air Force reports that the
NDEk the 6TttiSII HIAJuthik
Is extremely difficult on account OF the
mirages and sandstorms. which are very
frequent at this time OF year.
A further unexpected development Is
the protest OF Ibn Soud against the
slaughter OF 800 Arabs by British air
planes three weeks ago. Ibn Soud
heretofore has maintained friendly
attitude OF neutrality. and the British
authorities had hoped TO obtain his as
sistance against Fcisal ed Dowish. His
protest fell like bombshell on the
India office Friday night. Army ofii-
GERS were summoned today 10 discuss
the situation.
For the time being, until the situa-
ton develops further and fresh troops
can be sent 10 southern Iraq, two
cruisers have been ordered t0 Basra
to strengthen the force there. In order
~ gain time, the British high commits
sioner 10 Iraq has been instructed TO
send emissaries to Feihal ed D0wiSh
u begin negotiations.

GRADE EGGS HELP INCOME

| Eggs that grade las extras bring APP
presumably cents a dozen morn
during the year than standards ano
cents more than pullets. w. D. Blu
chanan extension specialist in poultry
at the State College of Washington
sits the following possible ways tc
improve egg grades and thus increase
the annual income from the flock.
l. Select breeding stock with great
care.
2. Set onoy eggs that weigh from
z3 to rs ounces per dozen
8. Mature pullets well before bring
ing them into egg production.
4. Feed hens well balanced ration
including an adequate amount Of min
erals. {tA s
S. Provide an abundance OF water or
its equivalent in milk or green feed
8. Produce good interior quality by
good. wholesome feeds and keeping
the hens in excellent condition.
7. Gather eggs frequently and cool
them before packing.
8. Keep dropping boards, running
boards, nests, litter and equipment
clean. a,
9. Use narrow running boards in
front of nests. A one-inch board on
edge is best.
10. Keep hands clean when gather
| ing and packing.
II. Keep eggs cool until shipped and
in transit.
At this season of the year when
poultrymen are apt to be checking
their egg production carefully and of
ten find that. they are disappointed
with the grade of eggs, it is well for
them to consider the above article
carefully.
This ie the time of the year to
order your chicks for rext season,
don't put this off until chicks can not
be secured at the right season of the
year to bring about best development

Prais;ng Detroit newspapers and
officials of the city for the safety
campaign which recently has been
waged against speeders and reckless
drivers here, E. T. Strong, president
of the Buick Motor Co., has expressed
the hope that a similar program
might be carried out in every city,
town and hamlet in the nation.
Messages are being sent to the
more than 1000 Buick dealers through
out the country, each of whom will
be urged to get behind such move
ment in his district.
"The fact that some communities
have accomplished so much in the
humanitarian work of avoiding traffic
casualties is conclusive proof that
the campaign can be carried to a
successful conclusion everywhere, =
Strong declared, "and the Buick Motor
Co. pledges the fullest cooperation
of it's giant resources in working to
this end.
'"The automobile no longer is a
luxury--it is necessity, and much of
its immense value to the world is
being periled by those who use the
streets as speedways and those who
drive without due care in the crowded
traffic of the present era"
That the problem is big one,
Strong is certain, but he is equally
certain that with the proper CO.
operation of all concerned the streets
and highways can be made safe and
the value of the automobile for bust
ness and pleasure consequently in
creased.
