Hippolyte-Boussac. ION the head Of
Ra, or Ammon Ra, were a solitary disk
and two tall feathers. Representa-
lions of the head of Isis frequently
show a disk between two heifer horns,
surmounted by the inscription AS, rep
resenting her name. how're Toum,s
head was decked with a full-grown
lotus, from which emerged symbolic
feathers.
'Thoth, the god Of sciences, letters
and arts, was often shown with the
head Of an ibis, having a wig with lap
pets, surmounted by disk and cres-
cent. Examples might be multiplied;
similar characteristics appeared among
the other gods in the pantheons Of
the Pharaohs. With very few excep-
tions, these attributes are not confined
to one divinity exclusively. They
serve as emblems marking the roles
played by each god. The Pharaohs
themselves made use of them in the
performance of certain religious cere-
monies.
1.-THE Sphinx was the image Of the
god Harmakhis-the sun at its setting
"a divinity essentially funereal in as
pect Thus is explained his place in
the metropolis at Memphis. AS with
the other Egyptian gods, his head was
surmounted by a symbolic ornament,
usually the Atew, or disk of the sun,
which was worn also by Osiris, the
god of the dead. This ornament con-
sisted of white crown with two os-
trich plumes, solitary disk and two
rams horns.
at is know that the great Sphinx
of Gizeh was cut out of high Cliff
on the edge of the Libyan desert. The
ancients were unable to fashion the
head ornament while sculpturing the
figure out of the mass of rock, but
added it later. This process is some
times followed in the case even OF
statuettes. 1t was necessary to dig
deeply into the head in order to in
sure the stability of the lofty orna.
ment which surmounted 1t. This was
the purpose of the cavity which has
been discovered in the head of this
Sphinx.
"As the ornament was not mono
lithic, but was formed of superimposed
strata, it must have been compare
lively frail. 1t was threatened by the
lightning, the rain, the sandstorms
and winds of the desert. 1t did not
figure at all on the bas-relief of the
Sphinx in the time of Thotmes w, in
the eighteenth dynasty, which was
shown crouching on lofty pedestal.
Doubtless in this epoch-about 1900
B. C.-the ornament already had been
destroyed. The Sphinx was then more
than $500 years old-older than the
Parthenon of our day-and in this
long stretch of centuries the symbolic
accessory might well have fallen vic
tim to the ravages of the elements.

also have disappeared, although they
had been carved out Of the same
block. When, in the sixteenth century
before our era, Thotmes w restored
the great Sphinx, doubtless he consid-
cred 1t inadvisable to replace an or
nament which had not proved durable.
But the lappets. of which no trace re-
mains today existed then, In part, at
least. They are Indicated In q bas-

ENGLAND PLEASED
WITH IT'S LATE RAID
Three Arships Lost But Of
6CiaIs Think Maybe They
Did Some Damage

London. Dee. 2S.-'' England aero
plane and warship raid ON the German
coast - said high government official
here TODAY. "may be regarded as the
British answer to the threats made by
Admiral Won Tirpitz. the kaiser's min
lister of marine. in the interview he
granted recently to Correspondent Von
Wiegand of the United Press.
"dThe admiral threatened with words
to starve out England by the estab.
lishment of submarine patrol of its
coast and by torpedoing British mer-
chant vessels.
"Deeds are better tnan words. The
Cuxhaven raid speaks for itself. "
It was generally believed here that
the bombs dropped by the British aero
planists upon the German naval base
did more damage than was admitted in
Berlin.
Experts also asserted that the raid
had proved concmsively the ineffective
ness of Zeppelins as opponents of fight
ing vessels.

THINK ITURBTDE
HAS BEEN MURDERED

Washington, Dec 2S.-Administra.
tion officials here were concerned to-
day over the disappearance of Edward
Iturbide, who was governor of Mexico
City under the Huerta regime. No trace
has been found of him since he left
Mexico City, ostensibly for FL Paso, in
response to the United States demand
for his release.
1turbide was arrested in Mexico City
some time ago on charges Of treason
preferred by General Zapata. II was
reported today that General Villa was
temporarzing in his professions to tho
United States that Iturbide would be
released and given safe conduct to this
country. 1t was declared that Villa
now claims he merely promised Itur-
bide fair trial.
Adyices received from San Antonio
said that General Palafox, at Mexico
City, recently charged John r. Silliman
and Leon Canova, American diplomatic
representatives, with having assisted
lturbide to escape from prison in Mex
leo City. Canova, recent arrival nc
FL Paso, denied he knew Iturbide -
whereabouts. AS General Zapata has
demanded Iturbide's life, it was feared
that he has been killed.
Administration officials expressed
satisfaction today with assurancc3
from General Hugh L. Scott, chief OF
staff Of the United States army, that
there would be no more firing across
the border from Naco, Sonora. Gem
,eral Scott was scheduled to confer to-
