gulf. Three ancient caravan routes, one
from Khorassan, another up the Eu
pirates into Syria and the last up the
Tigris into the Armenian plateau and
to the Black sea behind it, were the
elements of Bagdads trading strength
in ancient times. Today its impor-
lance is almost wholly bound up in
the potential wealth of it's surrounding
plains, watered by the Tigris and the
Euphrates, where some of the earth's
earliest civilizations dawned, -four
ished, decayed and shrank into OBJ
livicn; and in it's dominating position
upon the limbs Of communication be-
tween India, Persia and the West.
Now a Decaying City.
Bagdad the Magnificent is now de-
caying city. and the years that have
rolled by since Turkish overlordship
first began for Mohammedan lands of
the near East have seen it sink slowly
in Importance as mart for interna-
tional trade, as a station ON the path
of the rich merchandise caravans from
the East and West. and as the center
Of land Of abundant harvest. 1t is
still, however, the second city in the
empire, and its loss to the Turk would
be relatively almost as great as the
less of Chicago would be to the Uni
ted States. But more than this, the
nation of the West controlling Bagdad
would control the whole fruitful area
between the worlds two most historic
rivers-the Tigris and the Euphrates:
would dominate the Persian gulf, and
would exercise a powerful influence in
the affairs of southern Persia.
Bag6ad has awakened during re-
cent years, and has given it's strength
tc schemes for retaining the vast
waste areas about it by irrigation. 1t
planned the expenditure CT $3.50, 100000
for the reclamation of 100000 acres,
and as an immediate project it decid-
ed upon the retaining of tract of
more than three million acres. A new
order of things began for the time-bur-
dened city in the few years before the

erned by pasha, who is assisted by
a council. The pasta comes from Con-
stantinople. There is some difference
between the ruling Turks from Con
stantinople and the native Arab pop
ulation of Bagdad, as the Turks are
Sunnites and the Arabs are Shiites.
This religious difference has many
times prevented harmonious co-opera-
ton between the Turk and Arab.
The city does an annual trade in
normal times in imports and exports
of about fifteen million dollars, buying
oil, cheap cottons, shoes and other
western manufactures, and selling
hides, wool and dates. Germany, Eng
land and Russia have been the strong
est dealers in diplomacy and COM
merce at Bagdad.
The city lies about five hundred
miles from the Persian gulf following
the course of the river. The Tigris,
like the Danube, is the great water
highway of an agricultural country,
and it is the main artery of Bagdad' S
external traffic. 1t maintains, in times
OF peace, steam communication with
it's port toward the Persian gulf by
means of one British and one Turkish
line of steamers. Steamer service on
the Tigris ends at Bagdad, though sail
ing vessels ascend much higher up the
river. Two lines of telegraph, one
British and one Turkish, formerly con-
nected the city with Europe, while the
Euphrates furnishes a water highway
through many hundreds of miles to
the northwest.
Bagdad and Teheran, for years di-
plomacy's chief near eastern theaters
of strategic endeavor, have been
places of keenest interest to the for
eign Offices of England, Russia and
Germany. In these two cities. the one
the second city of The Turkish empire
and the other the capital of the de-
caying Persia, the great game of east
ern politics was fought at close range
with all the dexterity which the great
empires could bring to bear.

outbreak of the war, and hints of the
nervous, keen, hasty, modern life of
the West were multiplying. The rest
less beat of the American oil engine
was replacing more deliberate ways
of the donkeys and heat-oppressed hui
man. Oil wells were sunk in the Kar-
un river region, south of Bagdad, and
American well drills were employed.
Oil refneries were built here and
modern Bagdad contemplated indus
tries for the manufacture of native
materials supplied with this fuel. Be-
fore the discovery of oil, Bagdad's in

SKIRTS TO BE LONGER
ANKLE LENGTH is DECREE OF
PARTISAN MoDlsTEs.
There viii Be Difference Of Opinion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of the Change,
but 1t Seems Sure
to Come.

The great majority of women are
too restless and uncertain to let one
costume follow in the footsteps of
another and no dressmaker is suffi-
GENTLY persuasive to make them see
the advantage of this course, but
the fact that it has succeeded should
be lesson to those who indulge in
too much restlessness and who allow
themselves too free a fancy in the
field of costumery; all of which is
not very far away from the subject
of wardrobe efficiency. because it deals
with the problem of how to save
money and vitality.
There is no reason to discard a full
tunic over a moderately narrow skirt
this season. simply because you
owned one last season; if it was not
becoming, then there is an excellent
reason for never getting it again ;
but IL it was satisfactory, there is
every reason to repeat it when the
new fashions offer a chance.
1t is not possible to put a finger
of clothes from a leading house and
say that it shows a tendency toward
longer skirts, but there is a strong
feeling in the air that the movement
is to this end. The cables from Paris
regarding the actual gowns that
smart women are wearing tell of the
lengthening of street skirts by at
least three inches; instead of escaI-
ing the boot top, they escape the
ankle. Both Jenny and Cheruit have
lent themselves to this change There
are few women who can produce a
new fashion through their exploita-
ton of it in Paris today, but no one
can fail to find significance in the
fact that the leading houses and the
leading women have joined in a new
movement.
In this country two notable houses
have put out skirts that touch the
floor, but they are not attractive;
