as to the manner in which the appro-
priations should be distributed over
the five-year period at that time. On
this point depends whether the COM

next year will be kept around the
$40O,000,OOO mark desired by the
administration, or will aggregate
$432,0O0,00O. The president indi-
Gated today that he favored large in

both Chairman Hay of the house mill
tary affairs committee and Assistant
Secretary Breckenridge, announcing
to them his approval of the military
policy framed by Secretary Garrison
and officers of the general staff of the
army, calling for an appropriation
of $1S2,000,000, or an increase of

ARAB CITY OF NEDJEF.

Especial to The Bulletin

H.
 Washington, D. C.. Jan. 17.-Mystic. buried in the exclusive sands of the desert, almost unknown by the white man the Arab city of Nedjef Mecca or the Shla Mohammedians, born of ana Tor a religion, contains within it's walls un-dried brick a treasure house rich beyond fable, the Shia. St. Peters, into which a stream of gold and jewels has poured for centuries, and over the footing of which many an ernpIre-building soldier has sWeetened his dreams while sleeping on the bat tlehe1dS- Of India and elsewhere in Asa. Nedjef has become hostile land and the wonderful mosque of gold and precious stones is exposed as a possi- nle objective of invaders. Frederick Sirnpich, one of the few white men of any race to have made a visit to hid den Nedjef has transmitted an ac- count of this strangest of cities to the National Geographic Society. He writes:
 Tt is five days by mule or camel caravan from Bagdad to Nedjef, and in the eventful centuries since the Shias founded Nedjef-on the spot where a nephew of the Prophet Mo hau1med was slain-it is estimated that over 25,oeo. .0o0 Adostems have made the pflgrinTa~A to this nysteri- ous desert city of golden domes, fabu- lous- treasures. and weird rites. Thous- ands of devotees from the Snia hordes or 1II0Idi FeFSl1 ana South Russia flock through Bag6ad each year, bringing with them their nlunlrnff1ed dead ss1ted and dried-Sor burial in the holy ground about the mustSc city.''
 Each member of the Shia sect must make the pilgrimage to this hoIiest of his shrines, the city toward which through life he bows in worship, the unnatural city bound up in the deserts speII, into which the treasures of all his fellows in faith are flowing for their spiritual welfare. Each mem Der of the Shia sect expects to be buried i1 the sacred earth without the city'B walls, where millions upon mil lions Of -ast Shias have turned the sands to clay.

part of it's weird fascination. The desert trail to the sacred city is empty, barren and dead. It is an unattractive trail whose silence is only broken by fanatic pilgrims and by caravans transporting corpses to the Shia Mecca of the dead Of the city, Mir Simpich says:
 ''Nedjef is a, freak city. Not a green thlng-a plant, shrub, or tree-lives within it's dry. hot limits It is built on a high plain of soft sandstone. The narrow, crooked streets, in many wind like jungle paths One of the strange features of this strange city is its cellars. In summer the fierce heat drives the panting people deep down into the earth. like rats in q hole. Beneath every house is a cellar bur- rowed mine-like to amazing depths; one I explored reached an astound- feet below the street. Down into these damp, dark holes the Shias flee when the Scorching desert air sfzz1es above and imported German thermo- meters stand at 1S0 Fshren,h cit. Some of the cellars are arranged in a tier of the upper room is used in the first hot months, the family going lower down as the heat increases. Many of these cellars are connected by under ground corridors, and the criminals, who swarm in Nedjef, easily elude capture by passing through these tun- nels from house to house
 The mosque. MT SimpiCh describes as covered with great gold tiles which run to its very base. For ages, he says the rich Of Shia faith have made precious presents to this temple until it's vaults are bursting with pent-up treasure. The city has no industry, no
