The First Love Letter
THE first love letter among those
now in existence was written
ii 900 xyaara o,,o h., ono Iaa;as 20

THE first love letter among those
now in existence was written
L 2,O99 years ago by one Isaias to
Hephaestion. her husband. This
papyrus missive, penned I'm 1S6 B. c.,
was recently found in the ruins Of a
temple in Memphis, the ancient me-
tropolis of Egypt. The epistle, al
though full of endearments. Indicated
that the husband to whom it was ad-
dressed had deserted his spouse, who
begged him to return. The writer COM
plains of ''the high price of corn and
declares that she. her child. and her
mother-in-law are utterly distressed. -
subsequent letter informs the recre-
ant husband that their child Is dead
IL seems that the deserted wife was in
sore straits and had had to visit a
pawnshop. as she writes: "I took all
the jewels and trinkets of myself and
your mother to Senapion, son of APPEL,
and had from him 100 drachms I sill
yer. The writer adds pathetically:
This is gone long ago and the child is
dead. Corn was high and your child
was not strong" That dispossess no.
tice had been served on Isaias by a
cruel landlord is indicated by the state
ment: II have nothing left. and to-
morrow l go forth out of the house, 1
know not where" Who can conjecture
the fate Of the deserted wife!

AMERICANS TO JOIN
The NATIONALISTS
Movement Launched to Ship VOL
unteers to Fight Ulsterites

New York, July 16.-Already move
ments have been started in America to
| collect funds and in other ways aid
| the Nationalist Volunteers. There is
talk of forming companies to go across
to join the ranks. No body of men
| could start from the United states as
an organized band to join any move
ment on the other side, for the United
States government would not permit. It
and the English government could pre-
vent landing. 1t is pointed out. how
ever, that this would not interfere with
individuals going across. But they
could not carry arms. The difficulty
now confronting the newly organized
volunteers is to get equipment. That
some means may be open seems evil
dent from Mr. Redmond's cable mes
sage for assistance.
OF course neither the National Vol
unteers nor the Ulster Volunteers have
any legal standing, but those who have
followed the situation closeIy believe
'H'N bpNl p'hi'S N'i'i u ib'iS wv
reckoned with by the prtish govern
ment. If there is any fighting; in Ire
land it is very likeli - lave far
reaching effects.
In addition to considering the ques-
tion of aiding the Volunteer movement
the executive committee at It's pres
ent meeting is expected to decide the
matter Of holding "a national conven-
tion of the United Irish League this
year 1t is the general opinion that a
convention will be held, probably in
October, and that il will take place
either i'm Boston or Philadelphia. 1t is
hoped that the convention will be at
tended by delegation representing the
Nationalist party, headed by John Red
mond and including John Dillon. Il. +.
O'Connor. Joseph Devln and other
noted leaders If such a delegation
comes over it is proposed To have the
members make an extensive tour of
the United States and Canada, ad-
dressing meetings to he held in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago,
