ARCHAEOLOGY IS
PRACTICAL
Benefit
EVEN THE TRADES ARE ASSIST.
ED BY RESEARCHES OF
THE SCHOLARS

Santa Fe. Sept 9-How archaeol-
ogy contributes TO practical affairs of
life is demonstrated by an exhibit at
the National museum in Washington,
d. O., of designs in silk dress goods
which use the designs and symbols of
the Cliff Dwellers, the Pueblos, Az
tees, Mayas and other prehistoric peo-
pie as studied and reported by the
School of American Archaeology and
of other institutions. Much material
for designs pertaining to the prehis-
toric and early period of American
history was available; buildings, tenn
pies, monuments. pottery, basketry
and blankets are covered with picture
writings and symbolic designs which
form artistic motives for patterns.
Not only the designs proper were
adaptable but the colors as well.
fact which has materially assisted in
the creation of these new American
fashion designs The textile division
of the museum has installed series
OF pure dye taffeta silks, contributed
by manufacturers, which show the re-
production of these ancient Mexican
designs printed on soft clinging fab
ric. The designs comprise the Aztec
moon in rainbow tones on blue and
taupe; the Aztec armadillo and arrow
patterns in colors of peacock blues
"Kortez'-an Aztec hieroglyphic-on
dark green and satin striped white
navy blue and an all-over design on
Mexican feathers in shades of blue,
green and brown other designs are
reminders of the Pueblo Indians In
New Mexico, one consisting of a rat |
tlesnake symbol printed on Indian
red, while another resembles a Navajo |
rug in which zig-zag stripes and dag
onal arrangement of figures appear.
That archaeology has also done
much, especially in places like Santa
Fe, to preserve and adopt the archi-
tectural and artistic forms of olden !
times to the present, giving the pub

ordinary type of architecture, is well

ONCE BIG nation
A NONENIITY
NOW
TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO ONLY
RUSSIA WAS LARGER THAN
POLAND

Washington, Sept. 9-The Poland OF
1715 was larger than any other Euro
pean country, with the exception of
Russia. Today it has no political en-
tity, says the National Geographic So
ciety, in a statement issued today. Two
centuries ago its domain reached
from the Baltic to the Carpathians, and
stretched from east to west for a dis
tance of approximately 600 miles.
The first partition OF Poland came
in 1772, when Prussia and Austria,
alarmed by the progress of Russia in
Poland, suggested, as means of main
tanning the equilibrium of Europe. that
all three powers readJust their terri
tories at the expense of Poland" reads
the society's bulletin. poland lay ut
terly helpless. She lost about one-tifth
of her population and one-fourth of her
territory. The second partition, in 1893,
reduced Poland to one-third of her orr
ginal dimensions, with population or
about 3,50O,0O0 A third treaty of par
tition was signed in 1876. The con-
gress of Vienna, in 1915, divided Po-
land between Prussia, Austria and Rus
sia, with the exception of Cracow,
which was erected into republic en-
bedded in Galicia. Posen and Gnesen,
with population of $4,000, were left

AMERICAN ARTIST SAYS ORES
DEN is SAD BECAUSE OF
THE WAR

New York Sept "a second letter
from Francis Macmillen, the celebrat-
ed American violilist, reached New
York today from Dresden. Germany,
written several days after the declara-
tioL of war between England and Ger
many. Macmillen's letter was written
in German. All communications, he
said, must now be in the language of
the country. He writes with a guard
ed pen. The letter was mailed un-
sealed. The violinist said:
"The scenes enacted in this war
drama are not all confined to the
battlefields. In the heart of this great
nation, at present far removed from
the horrors of war, is being staged
daily the drama of the sorrows of
war. 1t is here in Dresden and in
other inland cities that the first act
of the great war drama is bel, play
ed. Dresden has furnished her first
quota of men. But soon she will be
called upon to replace her dead in the
field. Already news that many Dres-
deners are dead and wounded has
reached the city, and daily the increase
in the number of doors draped IN
crepe tell of the sorrows of war.
'The night that war was declared
between England and Germany, the
hopes of the people were high. They
thought England would remain neutral.
While in the very act of jollying ov-
er this prospect, the grim truth be-
came known. The cafes and beer res

emperor Of Russia as the king Of
Poland.
In the same year Car Alexander I.
granted the new kingdom a constitu-
tion. which declared it to be united to
Russia, in the person of the czar. as a
separate political entity. Poland re-
tanned its flag and national army.
In 1880, following the outbreak Of the
French revolution, a military revolt
took place in Warsaw This war last
ed for ten months, and at it's eonclu-
sion the congress klngdom was reduc-
ed to the position of Russian pro-
vince. The last remaining remnant
of Poland's separate political existence
was Cracow and it was finally occupied
by Austria in 1916. The last attempt
OF the Poles to achieve independence
was in 1868. 1t was marked by no
real battle and the uprising was soon
repressed. The national history of
Poland closes with this attempt at
freedom. In 1868, by ukase of the
emperor of Russia, the government
was absolutely incorporated with that
Of Russia and the use Of the Polish
language in public places and for pub
lie purposes was prohibited.
Russian Poland contains the first
line of defense of the Russian empire
on its western frontier.
"The marshy lowlands, covered with
forests on the western banks of the
Vistula, offer a natural defense against
an army advancing rom the west,
and they are strengthened by a num-
Der of fortresses on that river. The
center of these latter is Warsaw.
"The Poles are rather of medium
stature and well built Those in the
south are dark In the north they are
inclined to be fair. While well endow-
ed by nature they are today not re-
markable in that energy which charac-
terizes the northern races of Europe,
and in a sense of unity which has
been the strength of their present
rulers, and the reason is obvious For
several years past the German element
has been annually increasing both in
and in influence in Russian
Poland. From remote antiquity Po-
land has been annually increasing in
export of grain. Since 1875 there has
been remarkable development of
enterprises. The rail-
roads of Russian Poland have an ag-
gregate length of 1900 miles.
"The. entire administration Of the
province is under the governor general |
residing at Warsaw. After the insur
rection of 1863 all towns with less
than 1000 inhabitants were deprived |
Of their municipal rights The elective
councils were practically |
abolished and Russian officers nomin-
aied in their place. The prevalent re-
ligion is Roman Catholic"
