WAR RETURNS TO THE
CRADLE OF THE RACE.

1t is generally believed by ar
cheologists that the rivers nuphratcs
and Tigris were among the five
which the book of Genesis represents
as forming head in the Garden OF
Eden. This section Of the world was
doubtless the cradle of the human
race. and no better spot on the earth
could be found in which to place
primitive man, as the fertility oil
Mcsepotamia out Of which Abraham
was called has been known from time
immemorabe. The two riVers-Eu-
pirates and Tigris-run parallel I'M
til their waters mingle in the Per-
sian Gulf. Babylon was situated up
on the Euphrates and Nineveh upon
Tigris. Bagdad. city of the caliphs
and the scene Of many Of the thrill
ling stories of the Arabian Nights
is on the Tigris This sleepy section
of the world, in this day of wars and
rumors of war, is being startled by
the sound of cannon.
The Turkish gunboat Macmaris has
been sunk and the Turkish trans
mort Mosul has been captured in the
Persian Gulf region. The British adj
vance up the Tigris river and the oc-
t,,nation of !Amara is announced by
the British war office.

Little Rock, Oct. 7.-(Special)- The Supreme Court, in the case of Me Donald vs. Paragould, holds that a city cannot require an automobile owner, who uses his vehicle only for interurban traffic, to pay a city licen- SC. The ruling Allows: The court is of the opinion that the law, proper ly construed, means only to require the owner or keeper of an automobile for the transportation of passengers for hire within the limits of the city to pay the license fee, and since the appellant did not keep or operate his auto for the transportation of per sons for hire from and to points with in the city. he was not using it for transportation of passengers for hire within the limits of the city in viola tion of the ordinance. The terms of the ordinance are satisfied by holding that license taxes are to be imposed only by that municipality in which the business or occupation is carried on or conducted"
