GERMANY's PURPOSE.

1.-THE alleged official statements COM
ing from the Chinese legation have
been unwarranted, as the legation has
not received a word from Pekin since
the first notice was sent that a Ger
man force had landed at Kiao-Chau,
without previous notice to the Chinese
government. It is felt, however, that
many OF the reports as to the serious
ness of the situation, particularly those
from Shanghai, are Overdrawn. Judg-
ing from the press dispatches, there ap-
pears to be little doubt that the origi-
nal purpose of Germany to enforce an
indemnity has now developed into Sc
curing a naval station at Kiao-Chau,
and possibly more territory, on the
ground that Germany is entitled to a
return for her services during the
China Japan war. But it appears to
be overlooked that Germany has re-
ceived distinct returns for those SER
vices, in the granting of large conces-
sions, which, at the time of the grant,

Interesting Revelations Through Delving
In tho Ruins OF NIppur.
The desire to know more than his
tory tells us of the long ago is almost rs
strong us the wish to lift the veil that
hides the future. So it comes to pass,
says the Washington Post, thpt ipstitu-
tons of learning and Scientific organi-
cations send expeditions to all habitable
parts of the globe to minister to this
craving for information. Prof. Hill
precht, of the Pennsylvania university,
is at the head of a scientific expedition
sent out to the sites of ancient places
to bring together such relics as intelli-
gent scrutiny can unearth, and he has
sent a wondrous tale from the site of
ancient Babylon. A dispatch from Lon
don shows that the professors re-
searches ut Nippur, where Babylon
stood, have brought to light the most
remarkable data ever found by such in
vestigators. It appears that the pro-
fessor suspected the existence OF deep
err city far down below the foundations
of the ancient city, where previous re-
searches had abandoned the quest. The
first excavations had ended SO feet from
the surface; so feet underneath this the
Hilprecht party struck the traces OF
still another city. In this layer, which,
it is said, must have been Babylon so
far back that even the oldest races we
have any record of never heard OF 1t,
were found inscriptions and relics dat
ing 1000 before Christ.
