Colonel Little, the present com mander at once arranged for the Fif teenth to be a part of the General's escort to the steamer on which he sailed. The white troopers hearing of the General’s request evidently resented it, because none were in ! line and the chesty colored regiment had the honor all to themselves. Consequently, friends of the fight ing black troops have asked "what is the matter with the white legion naries anyhow, in their relationship to their Afro-American brothers?” They contend that the French are not only brave soldiers, but very broad and generous.

Egypt Offers Trade Fiefd For 0. S, PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7.—With direct steamship service between United States and Egypt established, after British shippers have had a mo nopoly on it for more than a quarter of a century, there will be a marked improvement in trade between Egypt and this country in the next few years This is the prediction of I.ester Maynard, United States consul at Alexandria, who yesterday visited tin foreign trade bureau of the chainbn of commerce, in an effort to hi) Philadelphia merchants. , Egyptian Cotton Fine Egyptian cotton is the finest in the world. British shippers held complete sway of the shipment of this c n In 1920 the United States shipping hoard began its effort to get a p„ . , this trade. The services of Mr. May nard were loaned to the shipping hoard by the government and he conducted negotiations with Egyptian exporters, with the result that the first American vessel is now loading a cargo of cot ton at Alexandria, and another is be ing loaded with Egyptian cotton at Liverpool. This country is now en titled to 50 per cent of the transport shipments. “The United States is a heavy buyer from Egypt,” said Mr. Maynard, "and Egypt is a heavy buyer from the United States. The balance of trade favors United States and with a direct steamship service that trade will be greatly improved. “In the past our ships have gone to Egypt with exports and come hark empty. To make up the cost of such profitless trips it was necessary for the shippers to charge more on outward freight. The establishment of direct steamship service means for the United States ships a half million dollars a year in shipping rates alone, and a still wider significance is attached to the opening up of new avenues of trade. Imports Are Heavy “Philadelphia is widely interested in cotton piece goods. In a year Egypt imports $100,000,000 worth of this product alone, exclusive of other tex tiles. Up until now the United States has sold to Egypt about $25,000 worth of this material a year. The nee. regulations have opened a way to en ter this market and some New Eng land men are now working toward that end I Morning Cabaret New Feature At Dreamland The Dreamland Cafe was without doubt the headquarters for holiday attractions and center of interest dur ing Christmas and Now Year’s week. Thousands of holiday merrymakers crowded the place night after night and room was at a premium the entire week.

In addition to the won derful work of the entertainers and the beautiful music of Dreamland Orchestra, everybody was there, and everybody was happy. Something new was pulled off Mon day morning when a “morning cab aret1’ was installed. The cafe was closed at the usual time Sunday night, but at 5:00 a. m. Monday morning 300 people were on hand to resume festivities. They danced until nearly 10 o’clock.

Bottoms, McFarland and Williams were on hand at all times to extend the season’s greetings.
