BejateS Vindication.

The Persians Of the time of Cyrus
were Zoroastrians. The Persian relig-
ion was primitively monotheistic, and
they allowed no idols or other mate
rial symbols of deity in their tenn
pies. There was less enmity on the
part of the Jews against the Persians
than against the other great nations
with whom they came in contact, due
probably to the monOtheism which
characterized the Persian religion. So
Cyrus, whatever else may be said of
him, was certainly not an idolator.--

publics of the New World that this
country is their big brother ever
ready and willing to overlook their
misdeeds in days of trouble and help
them along the ways of liberty and
stability. Here are extracts from the
Presidents speech on this subject:
More is involved than the immedi-
ate destinies CT Mexico and the re-
lations of the United States with a

RECORD ADVANCE

Capture Great German Trench
System in Day.
REACH PERONNE HIGHWAY
Take 1900 Prisoners and Menace the
kaiser's Chief Route of Communi-
cation Between Important
Bases.

Paris, Sept. 13.-In the swiftest and
most sensational advance recorded
since the opening drive of the German
offensive at Nerdun the French swept
forward south of the Somee, advanced
two miles east of CombleS, captured
the entire German defensive system in
triangle approximately two miles by
three or four, established themselves
along the vital Peronne- Bapaume high
road and captured 1900 prisoners.
In this sweeping advance, officially
reported by Paris less than half an
hour was consumed. In the area cap
tured lie not only great German
trench system, but the strategically
important hills, No. 145 and No. 76, the
Farrieres wood.
| German Line Threatened.
! The advance to the Peronne-Bapau-
me road is one of the most serious
blows yet struck at the entire Ger
man defensive system in this sector, as
it menaces, if it has not already cut
off, the chief route of communication
between these great German bases.
The French advance thrusts salient
into the German front which menaceS
Combles on three sides.
The official report from Paris says:
"North of the Somme our infantry
initiated a vigorous offensive on a
front Of about six kilOmeters from the
region south of Combles to the river.
The attack was begun at u 80 p. IN.
and rapidly developed, thanks to the
admirable elan of our troops, which
in less than half an hour captured the
whole first German lines of trenches.
'"They continued to advance with the
same vigOr- towards the east and sue
cesSively captured Hill No. las and the
Marrieres wood, together with the
whole system of German trenches as
far as the road from Bethune to Per-
Onne (evidently meaning the road from
Bapayne, as this extends to Bethune),
along which we have established our
selves from the southern edge of Ran
court to the south of Boucha Fesnes.
More to the south we have advanced
our lines to the ridge No. 76 (west of
FeillancourD.
Cup to now we have counted about
1900 prisoners, including numerous Of

Varieties of the Peanut.

Roughly speaking, three varieties OF
peanut are grown in this country--red,
white and Spanish. The white, the
most importa mt variety, has q nut with
two kernels with pink skins; its vine
spreads along the ground, in this re-
spect unlike that Of the red variety,
which grows more upright and in a
bunch. The pod of the red nut holds
three and sometimes four kernels, and
has deep red skin. The Spanish is a
much smaller nut, with a lighter skin
and miIder flavor than either of the
others possesses. The entire crop is
sheled aud used especially in the con-
