5 "In comparing the Egypt of today
with that of the dawn of history one
Js divided between wonder at the
marked changes on the surface and
tho lack of change In some fundu
'mentals. Thu Egyptian of today does
not speak his old tongue, but Instead,
jArablc; his old gods are forgotten,
und ho has with the exception of a
small minority adopted tho religion

"After the long reign of the Phar
aohs Egypt had Its Grecian and
Itoman regimes which brought but few
changes. Then In (114 A. I), came the
Invasion of the Saracens, from which
tlmu began Egypt's Mohammedan
history. Tor a time tho country was
.a province of thu Arabian Caliphs;
later It was independent, though still

and finally, In 1510, It became a
province of Turkey, which controlled

through a sort of hereditary viceroy

"For the third time Europe took a
hand In the affairs of Egypt In 1708
when Napoleon won his battle of the
Pyramids. The Rrltish drove the
French out In 1S01 and turned the
country back to Turkey. In 180!) came
tho building of tho Sue, canal by De
I.osseps, which has given Europe an
ever-growing Interest In Egyptian af
fairs. To protect European bond
holders France and Great Rrltaln
made a Joint intervention In 1871) and
for a while controlled finances. The
uprising of 18S12 against thu khcdlve
was suppressed by thu Rrltish alone,
and after that they controlled finances
without assistance. The government
was In effect Egyptian with Rrltish as
sistance and with the nominal suzer
ainty of Turkey acknowledged.
"When the World war began Great
Rrltaln established a protectorate,
abolished Turkey's suzerainty, deposed
the Germanophllu khcdlve, and ap
pointed another prince of the family to
be sultan. The Rrltish protectorate
is now being withdrawn, but Instead
of the former Turkish Interest being
restored, Egypt Ik set up as an Inde
pendent kingdom."

Make Dally Trips.
Airplanes are running regularly be
tween Paris, London and other Con
tinental points, It Is emphasized, mak
ing trips dally on schedule like rail
road trains. Much is made of the fact
that large numbers of passengers aro
transported as well as baggage. Fly
ing from London to Paris for lunch
and an afternoon In the shops Is said
to be an everyday occurrence In
Europe. Wide publicity Is given to thu
numerous air trips taken by Premier
Lloyd George and other government
officials.
American fiylng men, calling atten
tion to these reports, lament that the
Hying machine, although Invented and
developed In this country, Is not being
developed for practical purposes.
The development of practical Hying
Is taking place In the United States at
a greater rate than elsewhere. Thu
carrying of mail Is distinctly a com
mercial practice and ono for which
tho iilrplano Is more properly fitted at
present than for the carrying of pas
sengers. Airplanes carry mall now every day
ft om thu Atlantic to the Pacific coast
at less cost than mall can be trans
ported on thu railroads, but In Europe
tho commercial airplane companies
have been unable to compete with
the railroads to any extent In the mat
ter of passenger fares unless there Is
taken Into consideration the greater
speed of an air journey.
One Problem Mastered.
Making careful observations of air
conditions, not In ono section, but clear
across the continent, the Post Olllco
department Is learning continually
what must be known to make com
mercial Hying more nnd more prac
tical. The problem of the forced stop
has been almost completely mastered
by tho postal Hying department. Des
pite storms and all kinds of adverso
weather conditions, tho mall goes
through on schedule In the post olllco
planes, with such regularity that the
few delays tiro negligible.
The figures quoted for the mileage
of French airplanes Include those
llown In thu carrying of passengers
and baggage as well as mall. Tho
number of passengers transported
throughout 1021 was only slightly in
excess of 10,000. Transportation of
passengers Is the main business of tho
French commercial planes. This phnso
of commercial fiylng has been more
fully developed In Franco than In any
other country.
Much Is made of the French success
In carrying passengers on schedule
and with but few accidents. If tho
sumo degree of passenger carrying
wero developed In tho United States
as exists In France, tho total number
of passengers carried would be only
about 50,000. Tho number of per
sons who travel by railroad in tho
United States each year Is many mil
lions, and tho development of passenger-carrying
airplanes In thin
country In tho same degree of success
as hns been attained In Franco would
provide for tho transportation of less
than ono per cent of .those- who wish
