The Russians are holding Erzerum.
Once again the hattle-scarred old city
has changed masters. The careful
family man of the future, in moving
to a new town, will pick out one that
lance.
The strategic Importance of Erzerum,
according to the military critics, is the
most prominent thing about it. Before
the war they would point out to you
an insignificant little rill trickling
lazily down from the hilltops. and tell
you that you beheld the headwaters OF
the Euphrates. Erzerum controls the
valley of the Euphrates, said the Off
just how she does it is hard for the
layman to see. Similarly. they point
northward and westward over the bar
rem, suIlen hills and tell that there lies
the road to constantinople. Erzerum
controls that, too. Narly, she is pow
erful city.
Beautiful she certainly is not. There
is something forbidding and inhospit-
q Ole about the first glimpse you catch
of her from the mountain passes. The
walls and the houses are built of stone,
lifeless drab stone. that neither har-
monies with the bare plain nor owns
any positive hue of it's own. Then, too,
there is the almost total absence Of
trees. The rolling mountains are rough
with stubble Of grass, but nearly as
bare as the palm of your hand. There
ie something very gracious and invit-
ing about a tree-studded prospect.
something naked and inhospitable

The city herself is true daughter
of the near east. with a motley popu-
lace of Armenians, Arabs and Turks.
From within the walls, the scenery
takes on i certain beauty after all
the beauty of great distances, wide
spaces, magnificent proportions. The
summer air is cool and keen. the sum-
,ner sun is bright and piercing as a
sword. Sparkling little streamlets
trickle down from the hills. The even
ing smoke drifts over the walls like Il
Veil between man and the clear sky.
The lights filter through it softened
and diffused. Even in ErZerum, ma
ture throws a halo of beauty about the
baroness and the ugliness. 1t is ma n
who has choked her streets with ruins
and polluted her waters with corpses.

About the time when our seat of

Throughout his college days the youth

him. Who was it?
Even before leaving college young
Ord determined 10 dedicate his life to
search for his antecedents. This quest
resulted in some startling revelations
The record of Capt. Ord was carefully
investigated and il was discovered that
he had never held officers rank. While
but humble sailor in the British navy
he had been discharged in 1873. Seven
years later he had enjoyed sudden
change of fortune. Through some in

given a fat berth at Balboa as dock

of the King of Spain. James further

soul advocating that the wife be paid
regular wages, and the household ex-

lot more of the same line.

where the husband is the provider-

him to enlist in the American army.
And only after it was too late did the
youth realize having committed tech
meal treason to the land of his birth,
an act that invalidated any possible
claim to British title or estates.
After the war of 1872 James Ord
practiced law in New York and mar

he died. at the age of ninety seven.
During his eighty years of ransack-

came upon many bits of evidence other
than those directly concerning the
movements of his uncle. Not until he
was forty-eieht did he gain possession
of his uncle's confidential papers.
