Christian Science Monitor; The city
Z Tabrix. capital Of the great Persian
province OF Azerbaiian. has had a
eheckered history, Lying near the
frontier. on the high road out OF the
mld.east into the east. Il has fallen the
first victim to many invading armies
and has been successfully held by Ar
abs. Seljiks. ottomans. Persians. and
Russians IL has been captured and
laid waste more often than most cities
hereabcuts. and. more than once. II
has been practically razed to the ground.
II has. however. always risen again.
No sooner. indeed. was the tyranny
passed than the people of Tabriz would
creep back To the ruins and start build
ing the city afresh. Thus, In the early
days OF the fifteenth century. Tlmor,
with his horde OF Mongols. swept over
Azerbaijan. and left Tabriz little more
than heap OF ruins. and yet when the
Spaniard claviJo visited the city. In
1906, he records that II contained some
200 900 people. and the finest baths In
the whole world"
knows anything certainly about II. The
delightful tradition which ascribes Its
foundation To Zobeidah, the famous wife
OF the still more famous Kalif Harun-er.
Rashid. has. long since. been described.
Some historians admit that Zobeidah
may have rebuilt and beautihed the
city, but they insist that. In any event,
Il existed long before her time. Very
little Is known as to the early history,
but from the time OF Marco Polo. 20.
wards the latter half Of the thirteenth
century. travellers OF various countries,
who journeyed that way. have left some
account OF the town. It's trade and Its
people. Marco Polo speaks of Il as a
city where merchants make large prof

ready referred TO. and after him series
of Venetian travellers whose diaries
have been preserved. They all speak
OF the wealth and importance OF Tabriz
and OF its money tolls being greater
than in any other part OF Asia.
The Frenchman Chardin. who visited
the city in 1911. has left glowing ac
count OF what he saw. 1t IS really
and truly" he says. according to the
quaint English OF the old translation
"a very large and potent city: as being
the second in Persia, both In dignity
and grandeur. in riches and in trade
and in number OF inhabitants. II con

That was. surely the heyday of Ia

selected as the capital and residence OF

traveller as zone of the most wretched

THE WAR ON AMERICAN SOIL


Rochester Democrat and Chronicle;
Those who have been holding back from
the support OF the government In war
until Germany invaded our own soil no
longer have even that poor excuse for
opposition. The only difference between
the conflict here and that In France u
that the Germans are nursing different
tactics. They have not made Zeppelin
raids on Washington. or shelled coast
cities. or sent their submarines into
our harbors to destroy shipping.
The war on American soil IL being
waged with more insidious and subtle
weapons. Being prevented. at the pres
snt time. from sending fee, OF battle
ships over here. or landing an invading
army. the Germans are employing other
agencies OF destruction, The wholesale
arrests OF alien plotters made by our
government In New York and vicinity
the other night made the public nc
quainted with one form OF German war
fare on American soil. The arrest OF
Haywood and other members OF the
!. W. w. has brought 10 light another
form OF German warfare on American
soil.
The |. W. w. Is, In fact. the IDEAL
instrument for the purpose the Germans
