Egyptian City is Discovered in
Recent Explorations in the
Nile Valley.

LONDON, June 27-Recent ex-
ploration in the Nile Valley has re-
suited in the discoery of a buried
Egyptian city as well preserved as
Pompeii, according to the Rev. Pro
fessor A. H. sayce, the famous Egyp-
tologist, in an address at the ROYAL
Society. The discovery was made by
Professor Garstang, investigating
Meroe. Walls fifteen feet thick sur
rounded royal city containing two
palaces, public baths, gymnasia,
streets and private dwellings,. Trees
set in pits lined with brick bordered
the streets, and walls. quays and
landing stages were built along the
river front. This city was the cen.
ter of the iron industry Of the time,
and the Stag from the smelling fur
naces show that enough metal was
worked there to supply the whole Of
northern Africa.
An observatory at the bottom of
an underground bathing establish
ment, found by Professor Garstang,
is Of interest to modern science. as
its walls were covered with astronom-
ical calculations.

ART
Collection to Be Thrown on the
Market as a Result of Bank
inq Firms Failure.

LONDON, June 27.-The failure Of
the banking firm of Chaplin, Milne.
,Grenfell and Company, which shook
the financial district recently, will re-
suit in an important art collection Of
old masters being thrown on the mar
ket, at which wealthy American COLI
lectors are expected to be lively bid
ders. The collection to be auctioned
at Christie's for the benefit Of the
creditors Of Arthur NJ. Grenfell, in
cludes the portrait Of the Countess Of
Chesterfield by Van Duyk, formerly
hung at Blenheim- Palace, and por-
trait of man in a red cap ascribed
to Titan.
The Dutch and Flemish schools are
represented by Boil, Breckelenkan
Cuyp, Dow, Pieter Dubordieu and
.Wouvermans, and the English by
portraits from the brushes Of Sir
/ Joshua Reynolds and Sir Thomas
Lawrence. The only modern picture
is G. F. Watts "A Greek Idyll. .
Much public interest is excited over
the Titan, which has been auctioned
several times by Christie's, for the
uncertainty of its authorship makes
it more or less Of gamble.

The Boy Scout movement has been

The movement is part Of farsee-

the patriotic side, the members. with
the support Of the young Turks, will
try to purge the language of foreign
words which have corrupted the

SALVATION ARMY
DELEGATES ARE
Disappointed
American Embassy Flies No
Flag and Page Doesn't
Even Shake Hands.


LONDON, June 27.-The American
ambassador, DR.. Walter Hines Page,
came near 70 being charged with lack.
of patriotism by the seven hundred
American Salvation Army delegates
on their official visit to him, but the
misund erstanding was cleared BY one
OF the embassy clerks.
The Salyationists made an Ameri-
can patriotic display on this occasion
as has been rarely seen in London
Bands played American patriotic
tunes, the American colors alternated
with the Salvation Army banners
and each Of the paraders waved q
small American nag as they marched
through Victoria street past the win
dow ct which stood Dr.. Page. The
chief officers then paid formal call
on His Excellency. But in the mat
ter Of bunting, the embassy might as
well have been one of the big shops
alongside.
Where is the American fag?"
asked one of the officers in grieved
tone Of one of the clerks. Our
parade was simply ablaze with old
Glory, and there isn't a single flag
displayed at the embassy to welcome
us. 1t doesn't look patriotic"
The clerk explained that the flag of
the embassy has purely ceremonial
duties to perform rather than patriot
tc or ornamental, and is displayed
only, on Instructions from the State
department at Washington.
This explanation was passed around
and seemed to satisfy the patriotic
scruples of the visitors.
On account of the comparatively
small quarters American diplomats
without large private means neces-
sarlly maintain In Foreign countries,
DR.. Page was unable to invite the sal
vationists to his home, and the en-
hassy itself is likewise cramped. "A
reception in the street would. have
lacked dignity, so the delegates felt
disappointment in not being able to
shake hands with him. They had
been rather spoiled on their way over.
they said, by Colonel Roosevelt. who
fraterized with them, sood in snap
shot groups and answered to the IA
mfliar titles Of Colonel and "Ted-
dy."
The American salvationists, who
have been visiting London In parties.
speak highly of their courteous treat
ment by the people.

velop initiative and fexibility among
the people SO as to compete more fa-
vorably with western peoples.
1t is significant that in the oath
taken by the boys the Arabic word
for God Allah, - has yielded to the
Turkish "Tengri." All names used in
the organization, such as Izdjis for
scouts" and oimak Begs for lead
ers," are pure Turkish, The word
for leader in official use has hereto
fore been "bey."
The young Turks. and many of the
older men, believe that the country's
decline has been largely due to Per-
sian and Byzantine influence. They
hope to teach the youth to remember
the racial origin of the people who
once came near subduing Europe.
