The first recorded mention Of He'll
opolis in history, as said before, was
during the second dynasty, or about
1000 before Christ, according to the
best of modern knowledge. In the
third dynasty following, covering q
period of about 800 years in which
eight different kings are supposed to
have reigned, the monumental his
tory of Egypt begins, and in thie pc
riod the great pyramid of Cheops, on
the west bank of the Nile, also the
temple of Isis, near the Sphinx, were
constructed. What race and in what
age the Sphinx itself was chiseled
out OF the enduring granite is not
known. 1t stands today almost as
when left by its unknown sculptors.

ONSLAUGHT IN WEST
NAY LAST FOR WEEKS

Berlin, Sept. 29.-The first rush
Of Anglo-French troops in the west
has been stopped.
There Is every confidence that what
was planned as great offensive
movemehtsssiix Granada .ftptn -smere
trench warfare before the end of the
present week.
The opinion prevails here that the
onslaught against the German posi-
tions will last for weeks unless a dis
aster like that experienced by the
British at Neuve Chappelle halts the
operation.
Since their first days assaults
neither the British nor French have
dented the German line. The sue
cesses attained by the allies in the
first few hours Of fighting were due
solely to their long artillery prepare.
tion.
Several weeks shell fire had partly
demolished the advanced German
trenches and it was considered use.
less to defend them at heavy cost OF
life. For that reason the Germans
fell back.
In the second days fight no such
easy task confronted the French in.
fantry. Their artillery had not blown
in the second line trenches and from
behind their works the Germans main
tanned themselves without yielding
ground.

assuming an aggressive attitude on
the side of our enemies we are pre-
pared to give our friends in the
Balkans all the support in our power
In q manner that would be most well
come to them, in concert with our al

nouncement made by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary, in
the house of commons.
The foreign secretary made an urg-
ent appeal to ali his hearers to alb
stain from raising questions concern
ing recruiting for the national service.
II do not think a greater disservice

this moment suggestion should go

ENJOYS CLOSELY GUARDED
Allies Financial Commissioners A.
rive at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Plain clothes
men literally swarmed in and about
the La Sale street station when the
four finance commissioners who came
to America to borrow a billion dol
lars for the allies arrived in Chicago.
Throughout the visit of the loan en-
voys they will be guarded as is the
country trips.
It was plainly evident that Middle
Western flnanciers construed the
visit as deliberate method of chang.
ing the opinion that financial interests
have ignored the West regarding the
loan and to seek the support of the
West for the project.

BRITISH REPEL ALL
COUNTER ATTACKS

London, Sept. 29.-The French are
battering the second line of German
defenses in Champagne, while the
British to their north apparently have
been able to crush all German coun-
ter attacks.
So far as can be ascertained the
situation on the Western front as
created by the allied offensive Of Sat
urday and Sunday is about where It
was. The diversion initiated by the
German crown prince in the Argonne
at some places reached the first
French line, but nowhere did the Ger
mans break through.
While German prisoners are arriv-
ing in France by the trainload British
wounded from Flanders are beginning
to reach London. All have the same
story to tell. They describe the ter
rife bombardment of the allies, be-
fore which 1t seemed impossible that
any one could survive, and then the
sudden slackening of the fire and the
British charge.
How 1t happened that SO many un-
wounded Germans were captured is
puzzling the public.
The fighting in the East s.;;H ssvors
the Russians on the southern end OF
the line, although there is no confirma-
tion of the report that they have
reached the important railway june
ton OF Kovel.; The most momentous
struggle 10 still centered on Dvinsk,
where It is said the Germans ara r.
grouping their forces preparatory -
another great blow.

destruction of their property inter-
ests as we'll as their agents and en-
ployees in other lands.
1t is not our duty to reform the
whole world, but it is; our duty to
guarantee to American citizens whom
we invite to engage in foreign trade
and undertakings that so long as
they follow peaceful and legitimate
pursuits they will receive the atten-
ton and support Of the American
government and the protection Of the
American flag. ~
But we must not become military
mad. Probably there is no danger
Of that. Our form OF government
and our citizenship are. not adapted
to military propaganda. We may
want to conquer the trade of the
world, but we do not want to con-
quer other nations or take other
lands. And while we should be am
ply prepared to defend our country
and our rights at home and abroad,
we have no desire to wage war of
force against any peoDle
We must not forget, while provid-
ing means for extending our foreign
commerce and protecting ourselves
from possible foreign aggression,
that it is equally important to make
use of all our natural advantages and
resources at home. Tie government
in many ways and by scientific meth
ods can aid in national development.
1t can bring more lanA under culti-
vation by draining an.g irrigation, it
can increase the productivity of the
land now cultivated By experimental
methods and teaching improved ways
which will add to the ease and trans
portation, to the use Of the natural
resources, to the saving of that which
is now waste and loss, and it can in
crease generally by wise legislation
and administration the growth OF our
prosperity. tE
There is now waging in Europe the
fiercest and most appk1ling conflict
which the history of the. human race
records. What it's final consequences
may be no one can confidently pre-
dict, for whichever side wins, the
result on civilization and mankind
is likely to be much the same. The
most important effects of the war
will come after peacerhas been de-
clared and will be upon civilization
itself and the form .ofagovernments.
And those effects, are likely to be
much the same whichever side wins.
Let us keep out of that war. Let
us remain neutral. 1t is not our duty
to civilize or govern Europe. 1t is
our duty to act for. the lasting best
interests Of our own country. Those
interests will be gubserved by our
remaining an onlooker. It is diff
cult for men: to restrain their pas.
sions when excited hygcurrent events
but we should remain calm, II pos.
sfble, and at peace,tx any event in
this terrible struggle.
The war over there may, last fol
many years of and on before the ma.
tions are sufIiciently exhausted to
produce lasting peace. We will
have many temptations to take sides
and to take part, but our duty to civ
ilization, to ourselves, to posterity
demands that we remain neutral and
keep out of it.
Our highest duty is to America
We should use every effort to ad'
vance the interests of our own coun'
try and our own people, with sin
gle eye for the advancement of Amer.
ican prosperity, American civiliza
ton, American intelligence, Ameri
can morality,
