protectorate over Egypt seven years ago they "reserved" certain rights Including the defense of the country against foreign eggression and the protection of the imperial communications They proclaimed a "Monroe doctrine" Last year the Conservative government so far exercised those rights as to demand the withdrawal of certain legislative proposals pending before the Egyptian parliament The Egyptians talked about violation of their sovereignty British warships appeared The bills were postponed The Egyptian nationalisth who want complete independence have been In control of their parliament Parliament has been dissolved for three years and a practical dictatorship established The British govern merit declared that it had nothing to do with this development but the nationalists are skeptical With a change of ministry in London and Lord Lloyd gone from Cairo British policy in Egypt may not be quite so firm as to detail but we doubt whether it will be found to have abandoned

Whence came his ammunition when he was so far away from his base? Even his staunch friend and one of the chief promoters of his project of at times to have forgotten him and his needs Henry seemed more interested In horse-breeding in that perilous period of Clarks fortunes than he did in Clark 's financial needs In one of his letters to Clark he wrote: "I hear that the horses of the Illinois country are very fine and I am very desirous to get two of the best stallions that the Spanish settlements can furnish would have you value the cost of the horses and the expense of sending them in Get good men to bring them to New Castle Town in Hanover and give them haneVome wages to secure their pains to bring them safe here" And our biographer notes Henry who despatched no Iunds to pay coops end buy army supplies sent no cash to pay for this private venture of his Whether or not the stallions were ever rent is not knoen The incident is quoted to show that Clark had to look elsewhere than to I he man who choee between "liberty and death" or to the Continental congress for money It was the forgotten Oliver Pollock merchant and gentleman adventurer down the river at New Orleans who came to his rescue and proved his unfailing friend and the friend of I he Republic In tiwe times that tried mens souls Fortunately for Clark years before the lea sik aa thrown into the lIoston Harbor Oliver Pollock had healed in New Orleans and had his alMler gOing and coming on the southern seas Ile had made friends with Spanish merchants end Spanish governors By one stroke of eeneroeity he had won their unswerving friendshaa At one time claims a food famine ('liP of pollock's ships had arrived a he port of New Orleans laden with flour which hail I teen to $200 a barrel Ile could enaily h1ve Profited 2000 per rent on his cargo lint he a sentimental Irishman as well as a canny trader lie rPhiSrd to ake advantage of the amine and volunt artly offered his Bout at the normal price of Ala a barrel As a token of gratitude tor his generous art Polloek was awardea by the Spanish overhor wait thq "Will someone give home to pretty car or kittens?" reads a want ad "We'll the "Well" says Ben Hibbs all the way Id Philadelphia "you'd probably ge't along tyI with a wise old mama car than with mischievous young thing you 110W havo" Oh she's not so young considering the IF ber of artificial limbs she wears around 1( Flow They Measure From the Pathriodor in Chicago do you livc! a bombs throw from the Jourontimm" Ix Commended by the Cgyptian Gazette of Alexandrh From the Egyptian Gazette Alexandria Egypt The existence and prosperity of the Manchester Guardian whose editor Scott has just resigned is one of the things that reconcile decent men and women to being journalists It is not alone in this respect The London Times the Observer the New York Times The Kansas City Star are a few among the many newspapers which though a minority constitute a mighty influmce for sane journalism an oasis of calm and dignity in the desert of newspaper howling and screeching UM HU WHIT VS 11111E WAD (ULIV In Europe the Coond Illmfte If Cred- tied it a 'freak of Money Vi Minn Allen in Etnn-o-ria Gat'' The Newton Republican contains a gorgeous series of clippings showing how a stray coyote sighted near Newton turned out to be a man-cater in the New York papers and a flock of Yolves in London trws About a year ago the editor of the Gazette was going to Europe On the dock the reporters asked him how long he would stay He said "until my money gives out" "How much have asked a reporter ''A little wad" said the poor editor modestlY hipping his pocket to show a tiny wallet about the size of a pork tenderloin The word "wad" was too much for the reporters They or the copy reader got it "chunk" of money Cabling the word "chunk" to Europe it became a trunk of money And to make the phrase euphonious the Pans editor of the New York Herald had the Emporian landing in Europe with "a trunk full of money" Whereupon the poor editor began getting dirty letters of two kinds IA) "So you sold yourself to the Republican national committee to abuse Al Smith for a trunk full of money to take a trip to Europe did you?"

including the ordinary aqua pura thereby reducing the food content by as much as 25 pa' cent And the unfortunate housewife occasionally opened a can to find that the material it contained was already partly decomposed The change which has resulted in the prN- ent "justified confidence and dependence" placed in canned goods thr department modestly attributes to constructive effort on the part of the industry backed by the continual pressure exerted through the enforcement of the federal food and drug sets It is no reflection upon the manufacturers who were turning nut "honest" products before

question' arose what should be done when the paper money was exhausted? ggain the shifty governor of Virginia turned to Pollock He made this appear to Clark as a mere matter of simpler If Clark could no longer pay in paper money the thing to be done was to draw bills on that never failing source of gold of New Orleans And that is what Clark did do time and again "All that stood between Clark and the collapse of the empire built on his personality was the personality of that Irish trader to whom the states were alre-ady in debt" comments biographer Palmer But be did not fail When Pollock received the news of Clark's success there were more bills to be paid more money to be raised for the cause ''t have succeeded" wrote Clark to Pollock "and am necessitated to draw bills on the state end have reason to believe that the will be accepted by you" They always were accepted by Oliver Pollock There was a ring of achievement in Clarks letters in character with Pollock's letters to Clark Both are preserved in the Draper collection with the ornate addresses On thick rag paper envelopes which appear still fresh showing how carefully the messengers guarded them Then the time came when creditors were pressing very hard on Pollork owing to the loss of many of his cargoes With his personality os collateral he got further loans from friends nd Clark was kept supplied Pollock always findin7 a way to get past the British river guard And it was Pollork whose vision ran with that of Clark who finally wrote appealingly to Clark to gather a force and push down the river "so as not to lose a valuable con-oust which might now be easily rothing less than the conquest of New Orleans But that time was llot yet ripe Tilt DAYS or sovtasrry Then when the war was over came the days of disaster to many who had figured in the great achievements of the war Morris the patriot banker found his way to a debtor's prison Oltver Pollock reached a similar ref-lute from creditors in IlaVittni Clark heartbroken with supposed ingratitudes and haunted by debts and "missin7 vouchers" was eating his heart nut by the "Falls of the Ohio" One of his greatest grirfs as he struggled with his own debts was that he was not able to lend a helping hand to his friend and backer Pollock But Pollock was a "singing Celt" and a canny one HP MilnagPd to get a parole went to Philadelphia where he found a sympathetic listener in Robert Morris another patriot debtor Morris secured a sum in cash from moneys 1lue by the government to Pollock Editorial Opinion of the Baltimore Sun Last year three Western Canadian provinces raised 508 million bushels of spring wheat Present estimates indicate that this year with approximately the same acreage under cultivation and the same degree of diligence on the part of the farmers they will produce from 150 million to 215 million bushels The exTilanation of the drop of well over 50 per cent In production is found in the cussedness of "gentle Mother Nature" This misfortune for the Western Canadian farmers who are threatened with a more near- ly complete crop failure than any since the prairie province wheat belt was opened is temporarily easing the task of the federal farm board by boosting United States wheat prices Farmers in the Dakotas and Montana are suffering from the same curse of drought that is burning up the Canadian wheat lands but the present prospects are that they can get a good price for any wheat they have to market That lets the federal farm board out for its job is not to grow wheat but aid the farmers in getting a good price for it For those members of the federal board who are looking beyond the immediate future however there must be much in the Canadian wheat situation that Is not comforting The capacity of the elements
