Alexander the Great, like an erratic
meteor, flashed across the browse of
civilization-weary Egypt; and, perhaps,
as a memorial of his dedication in h
land Of the Pharaohs, he left behind
him the beginning of a vigorous Greek
city, Alexandria, destined to be h
gateway for a flow of western rejuve-
nation to the worn valley, and today,
with Constantinople 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 National Geographic society.
Alexander built his city in 332'B. G.,
upon the ruins of an Egyptian town,
Rhacotis. After more than 1000 years,
Alexandria has become the life Of
Egypt, it's largest port, n OF the bust
est ports on the Mediterranean, and an
important world city.
The modern city is divided into two
parts, one of which, inhabited by Mo-
hammedans, is a listless tangle OF
oriental narrow, crooked streets and
uninviting buildings, while the other,
the European quarter, is solidly built
and possesses many of the essential
co~nyeniences of the American or Eu-
ropean metropolis. 1t occupies a ridge
of land between the Mediterranean
and Lake Mareotis. The Rosetta
mouth Of the Nile lies more than 20
miles to the east. Cairo, the interior
METROPOLIS, lies 1923 miles by rail to
the southeast, and the Suez canal if
more than 140 miles to the east. The
city is linked by a network OF rail
way and telegraph lines to the other
towns of Egypt, and is in telephone
connection with Cairo.
Alexandria is the counting-house
and the commission Office Of the Nile
valley. The British chamber Of com
merce has it's headquarters there, and
there, too, are located the head Offices
of many Of the largest commercial or
CARNATIONS doing business in the
near East. The value of the city,
trade. in normal times, is about $240,
600 900 a year. The western harbor
designed for a modern, first-ranl
commerce, is visited annually by 1900
vessels. The chief articles of expor
are grain, cotton, beans, sugar ant
rice, and the business is largely Ii
the hands of Europeans, Of whom
there are $4,000 in the total popula
ton Of 400, 1000. The city is connecte,
by cable lines with Cyprus, Malta
Crete and Port Said. One Of the in
teresting phases Of A~lexandria's CON
merce is that 1t sends 10000, 900 egg
each year to London, where thes

With a curt. resigned inclination Of

Immediately the girl grasped the
speaking-tube, the door slammed, the
cab drew away, and left him standing
with the pose, the gesture of one who
has just heard sentence of death pro

Apostate.
When there was no more light in the
sky a profound sigh escaped Lanyard's
lips, and with a slight nod toward the
place where the light had been, and
the gesture of one who recognizes and
signifies submission to an omen, he
turned and tramped heavily back
across town.
At M stage of his journey he
turned aside and, more through habit
than desire or design, entered a cheap

MARINE WAR RISKS JUMP so PC
Submarine Raids and Loss of Row
anmOre Cause Increase.

Raids on British merchantmen by Ger
man submarines. emphasized sharply by
the loss Of the ROwanmore, caused an
over night jump Of 80 per cent. yester-
day In marine war risks on cargoes des-
tined for the United Kingdom and for
Havre. TIL rates to these destinations
were increased from | to 2 per cent. The
bordeaux ratio was advanced from l to l VI
per cent, The Mediterranean rate is un-
changed AT 5h per cent.
The loss Of the Rowanmore was seri-
Gus to the underwriters as she carried
9.626 bales OF cotton valued at approSi-
mateiy $4,000. This risk is reported
to have been placed on the basis OF |
per cent. war risk and l per cent marine
risk. The Rowanmore carried also 40
395 bars Of copper. reported to have been
valued at $500. 900, for British Govern
mcnt account. but not Insured here. Other
items In her cargo were 100. 900 bushels
Of wheat, one car OF slaves. four cars
Of lumber, 800 barrels OF oil and n quan-
tity or general merchandise, Including "a
