Entebbe, or Port Alice, founded 

 1)V Sir Gerald Portal barely 

 tifteeu years ago, is the political 

 and administrative capital of the 

 Uganda Protectorate. The Pro- 

 tectorate includes much more than 

 the old kingdom of Uganda, having 

 been enlarged by the addition of 

 the kingdoms of Toro, Unyoro and 

 Ankole, which form a semi-circle 

 to the west and south of Uganda 

 pro|)er. To these we must add the 

 district to the east of Lake Kioga and around the gi'eat 

 extinct volcano Elgon, as well as the vast regions known as 

 the " Nile Province " and the " Rudolf Province " to tlie north.
