 ''The exotic Grecian city was q battle-ground from the start. The East and the West met and fought out their differences to a finish there.

 Tn the latter years of the 18th century, the city was held by the French. It had sunk to the status of small village under centuries of Mohammedan misrule, having a pop- ulation of less than 4.000. Under Mohemet Ali, the wise and cunning Albanian, it regained much of it's prosperity.

 Jeff Cify As Memorial

Washington, D C., Jan. 14.- Alexander, the Great, like an erra- tic meteor, flashed across the drowse of civilization-weary Egypt; and. perhaps as a memorial of his deiflca- tion in the land of the Pharaohs he left behind him the beginnings of a vigorous Greek city, Alexandria, des- tined to be the gateway for a flow of Western rejuvenation to the worn valley, and today, with Constantino- pie and a few other places. one of the greatest prizes for the contesting army millions in the East" begins a bulletin just prepared by the Nation al Geographic society. Alexander built his city in 332 B. G., upon the ruins of an Egyptian town, Rhacotis. After more than 2.00O years, A1exan- dria has become the life of Egypt it's largest port, one of the busiest ports on the Mediterranean, and an I'm : portant world-city.
 "The modern city is divided into two parts, one of which, inhabited by Mohamm edans, is a listless tang1e of Oriental narrow, crooked streets and uninviting buildings, while, the other, the European quarter, is solidly built and possesses many of the essential
 
 European metropolis. It occupies a ridge of land between the Mediterran- can and Lake Mareotis. The Rosetta mouth of the Nile lies more than 30 miles to the east Cairo, the interior metropolis Alies 129 miles by rail to the southeast, and the Suez Canal is more than 140 miles to the east. The ; city is linked by network of rail- way and telegraph lines to the other towns of Egypt, and is in telephonic connection with Cairo.
 Alexandria is the counting house and the commission office of the Nile Valley. The British chamber of commerce has it's headquarters there, and there. too, are located the head offices of many of the largest com nercial organizations doing business in the Near East. The value of the city's trade, in normal times, is about $240,000,000 a year. The western harbor, designed for a modern, first rank commerce, is visited annually by 5000 vessels. The chief articles of export are grain, cotton, beans sugar and rice, and the business is largely in the hands of Europeans, of whom there are 50,000 in the total population of 100000 The city is connected by cable lines with Cyprus,
 Malta. Crete and Port. One of the interesting phases of Alexandria's commerce is that it sends SO,0OO,OOO eggs each year to London, where these products retail as fancy fresh eggs
 This large yearly turnover gives Egypt an intimate relationship witt, the Englishman's breakfast table. ~"Dinocrates of Rhodes, architect and friend to the famous Macedonian.

 Somehow the failure of the examin- CTS to find out that things were going wrong seems not to be taken into con- sideration. After all, though, is it not possible that some of the newspaper readers and some of the bank deposi- tors of this state, in which the record of bank scandals has been none too pleasant in recent years, are wonder ing what bank examiners are for and why they are called in only when the loot has assumed great proportions?

Advises New Britain Physicians to
 Go to China.

Go to China.
 New Britain Conn.,, l January 12, 1916 | To the Editor of the Herald:
 Dear Sir:-There seems to be quite | a lot of comm ent over an editorial which appeared in your paper on Thursday, January 6, entitled: "The l High Cost of Living,-and Dying and I if it would not be imposing on your l time and inclination I would like to
 add a few words to the already wealth of material you have published 1 on the subject. The idea is this: If 1 the doctors in this town are not get | ting enough money for their services why in the name of all that is good 1 don't they get out and go to China
 I do not say this in a deriding spirit. | On the contrary. I would like to call attention of the physicians of New | Britain to the following information: 1 Dr. John Welsh, the noted patholo- gist of Johns Hopkins University, in BaItimore who is frequently referred to by members of his profession as "the foremost physician of the United l States" has recently returned to this country after thoroughly Investigating d.. this to say on the subject:
 Wherever the medical missionary has gone occidental methods in medi- cine have been introduced and the Chinese have adopted them. The Chinese methods are not scientific. They might be called empirical. They have great many drugs. Some of them are useful.
 int o1 in surgery, though, than they are in medicine.
 Surgery is practically unknown in that country and it appeals to the Chinese more than does internal medi- cine.
 Tt is more dramatic. But the foun- dation of the Chinese religious belief is ancestor worship and medicine meets very great handicap in the opposition to post mortems and such examinations. The work of Over- coming that is a great one. The field which the country offers to young men who are willing to go there is very rich. =
 There is some good advice, and am glad to be able to present it to cur young doctors and physicians who believe they are not getting enough of the wherewithal from their pa tients. Go to China. 'The field which the country offers to, young men who are willing to go out there is very rich.' As to the old men who for various reasons must stay behind, the people of New Britain should es- tablish a sinking fund" for them, either that or work out the Osler theory What good is a doctor any, Way, after he gets past sixty?

Yet occasionally tkere is a serious dedication discover ed which is of such proportions that the press of the entire country takes note of it.

Bank Examinations.

There seems to be an almost unani- nous sentiment among the newspaper editorial writers of the state that it is a foolish policy for any bank manage ment to give one man most of the re- sponsibility for running affairs. The comments on the discovery of the shortage of some $S7,500 in the ac- counts of the late G. K. Curtis of the Southington National bank contain some references to this weakness Of banks, in small towns especially.
 It is apparent that the depositors of the small town banks are quite as cul-

WHEN MEN GO FORTH TO

1 There is something in the blood of
 the average young boy that demands ] action, physical action. He must be
 ever up and doing. He must be run ming. romping, playing, fighting, anything that gives vent to 1 physical. prowess It is but the exuberance of youth. And when, after the days of grammar school have passed and he is sent on 10
 higher institutions of learning, the appetite is whetted for greater activ- ity, it is there he revels in the de- light of class rushes, and bowl fights, and all sorts of mob violence that
 give so much real enjoyment to the
 far off Africa. No Hottentot in his
 palmiest day ever had so much fun
 chasing a missionary as the average
 college student takes in hazing one of
 his new found fellows. There was evil
 dence of this keen delight in yester-
 days despatches which told of the
 death of University of Pennsylvania
 freshman in the annual bowl fight.
 When the combat was over the pros-
 trate body of this youth of nineteen
 was found crushed and mangled be-
 heath the feet of his fellow students.
 Beside the dead body lay a score of
 wounded, one young men With
 fractured skull, another suffering
 from concussion of the brain, others
 with divers injuries, and probably a
 hundred or two hundred more with scratches and bruises over their bodies. They had stripped to the waist for this fight, and it was a glorious affair. The Colorado Mine Strikes and Riots are as tea dan- sants compared to the University of affair.
 After what occurred last Wednesday it is gratifying today to read in the news from Philadelphia that the senior, junior and freshman classes of the University of Pennsylvania have adopted resolutions recommend ing that all class fights be abolished. The sophomore class had already ,aken similar action immediately after ts fatal clash with the first year men. If there must be fsticuffs and fights 1 of this sort among college students who, for the most part, call them 1 selves men, ; the affairs should be l in far different manner. 1 If there is to be so much energy wasted by two great mobs of boys for they are that, why let them waste their time in college? They should | enlist in the United | States army and distribute their ! powers to the protection of the couf- try. A gallant force could be easily utilized at this moment along she border. Or, a goodly num- Der might be corraled for duty in the conquest of Alaska. Why should these fellows be studying the arts and sciences when they revel so easily in the glory of the fray? Why waste time in institutions of culture and learning when there is so much more work to be done in conquering the wild tribes of uncivilized countries? There is a great work ahead for these young college students who put 50 much action in the simple thing of holding up class honor. With their energy directed along the proper paths they would add fame and glory to the nation as we'll as to themselves Let and go at the affair in the proper
 manner. When men go forth to battle great deeds are done.
