DEMOCRACY AND PROSPERIN'.
One of the most hopeful signs of
the time has developed in this cam
paign. Heretofore a presidential
campaign has had the effect of
checking the progress of business
and holding the industries to some
extent at a stand still. The presi
dential campaign that was just
closed h s been a notable exteo
tion to this rule. It seems that
the American people have at last
made up their minds that "busi
ness" can thrive and prosper dur
ing a presidential contest as weli at
any other time, as the past year
has been one of very unusual pros
perity.
It has been very evident eve>

the business of the couqtry has
■made most substantial progress
and confidence has reigned every
where. This is due to the fact
that the business men of the coun
try realize that while Mr. Wilson is
a determined reformer and pro
gressive. he is above all eminently
"'safe and sane" and the ebu ary
may look forward to an era of
splendid prosperity under his ad
ministration.

Great Britain and Germany to

Rally to Promote Better Understand

London.—A r nerul conference for
flic purpose of promoting a better un
derstanding between England and tier
many is to be held lo re during i he
summer. It i- being organ!:. d b. n
special committee reprow nting the Na
tional Peace council, the British-Gor
m; n Friendship society and t!.e C nin
cil of liritish Churches.
“A number of influential Germans
are coming over to tr-Iio part in the
conference,” said Dr. F. Evans Dar
by, a member cf (be committee, "and
we hope, through the presentation of
their views materially to influence
opinion.
“Our one aim is to S.i all wo can to
remove tiA cloud of rn snadei standing
which in the past admittedly has led
to the verge of War.”
The archaeological excavations un
der the direction of Paninos Pasha
have now fully revealed the necropo
lis of Heliopolis, which was the intel
lectual center of Egypt for over 4,u00
'-ears, and the place where Moses re
ceived the sacerdotal and military
training which enabled him to lend the
Israelites out of their Kpyp i n bond

desert n trifle more Minn throe miles
eastward of the Mntoriah obelisk. The
I burial places cut from the rocks of
the Arabian range wore from G5 to
foot deep. They were covered vi li
sand, the removal of which revealed
mummies of human bodies and the
skeletons of sacred animals and birds.
Undamaged ibis eggs wore also found.
Unfortunately these tombs bad lx * n
ransacked years ago by Romans and
Arabs hunting for treasure, and only
about five or six per cent, of them
bad escaped the ravages of the trea :u
ure seekers.
A pillar has been found decorated
with the black bull Mnevis, and this j
indicates what the excavators hope j
will prove to be in the newly discov
ered necropolis a Mnevisscum, which
is sure to contain Objects and docu
ments of the greatf ' interest. 1 ni
nos Pasha is now devoting all of bis
energies to uncovering this Mnives
seuni.
The British School of Archr.pol ■
has also been making some intere«t
Ing discoveries as the result of th'-lr
excavations in the desert. At V ;a
phis Ihe excavators for the school un
covered a gigantic sphinx, made of
alabaster and weighing 80 tons. T1i!f
sphinx, which la in a perfect state
of preservation, was carved and erect
ed about 1300 B. C.
At Heliopolis the school excavators
uncovered an earthen fortress v : ’
walls over 100 feet thick, inclosing a |
rounded squa-'o a quarter cf a mile in ;
diameter. It is not Kgyptlan work j
and probably dates back to the early
barbaric invasion.

he was when the crisis at Inst was

used to lie on the davenpert in the

querulous as a child, poor fellow."
“Yes, 1 remember that you had a

"it was a very happy time, never

over there on that corner right be
neath that electric light. I don’t know
whether the dog was merely training
its voice or if its heart was broken,
but anyhow it used to make the nights
hideous. Poor Harry pitched and
tossed on the bed night after night,
but he just could not sleep, for that
deg bov.h d and howled and howled."
