The recent arrival at Washington OF
Major General George W. Goethals,
governor of the Panama canal zone,
and Brigadier General Clarence r. Ed
wards, commanding the United States
troops in the zone, is said to be due
to serious differences of an official ma
ture between the two officers.
1t is understood that Governor
Goethals has ohie ted to remarks Of
General Edwards regarding the admin
istration Of affairs IN the isthmus. es-
pecially with reference to the methods
and costs Of construction of many mill
tary buildings under canal jurisdiction.
1t is further stated that Governor Goe.
thals also resentS many of the criti-
cisms alleged to have been made by
General Edwards regarding the form
Of the canal government, General Ed
wards believing, it is said, that the mil
itary and civil authority should be vest
ed in one person. instead of separated,
as at present.
Brigadier General Edwards was APP
pointed to command the United States
forces in the canal zone in November.
1914, he having previously been in COM
mand of the First Hawaiian brigade.
He halls from Ohio and is an intimate
friend of former President Taft. He
was graduated from West Point in
1883 and became captain Of infantry in
1898. During the Spanish wal he was
lieutenant colonel of the Forty-sev-
enth United States infantry. For many
years he held the office of chief of the
insular bureau, and during his incum-
bency the head of that bureau was
given the rank of brigadier general. In
1912 he was transferred back to the
line and made a brigadier general in
the regular establishment. He has
spent many years in the Philippines.

The GARDEN or D E
1t Is Said to Have the Most Trying
Climate In the World.

The chief popularity about Kurna is
where they live is the exact site Of the
garden of Eden.
The climate Of Kurna is acknowl-
edged to be the most trying in all the
world. The heat is terrific in the sum-
mer time. 1t is claimed that the Brit
ish government has a record of 159
degrees in the shade upon the bridge
of a boat anchored in the river at
Rusreh, a little to the south.
The missionaries at BuSreh tell of
nights when the thermometer regis
tiers not less than 125 degrees. British
sailors bound for the Persian gulf in
the summer time usually desert if they
can. Perhaps in Arizona the thermom-
eter rises nearly as high, but there is
the dry air, while in the Persian gulf
it is exceedingly moist.
The Europeans at Busreh must pass
the days in underground chambers, or
scrdaubs, while a native boy pulls a
huge fan, or punlah, suspended from
the ceiling to keep the air in circula-
ton. The nights are spent on the
roof. for it is impossible to sleep be-
low.
In the winter time the air seems ex-
ceedingly cold, for the marshes are
filled with salt, and as the wind
sweeps over the plain the moist air is
peculiarly penetrating. Frequently

from his horse.-Christian Herald.

1t was understood at that time that
Americans at Cairo had asked for an
investigation. The investigation was

The famous academy of Plato was III

some fifty years taught his "diyine phi

By MARTHA v. MONROE

An auto drove up to Il building occu-
pied as lodgings in Rome, and the oc-
,upant. Il lady, said to the chauffeur:
GO up 10 the rooms of Signor Wis
ronti and tell him that Miss Flynn is
waiting for him"
The chauffeur disappeared and re-
turned, followed by an Italian perhaps
thirty years of age and handsome as a
picture. Instead of looking pleased at
the appearance of the girl in the car he
knit his broWs.

Il leave Rome tomorrow. This is

The man could not reprsss a look Of
pleasure at this. He hesitated, then
got into the car and closed the door
behind him.
Take the Appian way" said the
lady to the driver.
After threading several streets they
passed through a gateway and found
themselves on that great road which
centuries before had been the favorite
thoroughfare of the Romans. There
was little said between them. The
man made several efforts to start a
conversation, but they all failed. The
woman seemed preoccupied. If her
companion had been placed so as to
look her in the face he would have seen
a dangerous glitter in her eye. AS

q marble staircase, and at the bottom

Flynn took position at the end Of the

posed the bones Of the early Chris

companion loitercd.

The mans brow darkened. but he
made no reply. Coming to a place
where the corridor divided. Miss Flynn
struck into the one which the party
had not taken.

man.
