found few years ago in an unopened
chamber.
The wonderful antiquity of Jeru-
salem has only been appreciated in
recent years. Up to fifty years ago it
was thought that Jerusalem was of little
Importance as a city until it became
the CITY of David" King Israel.
But with the discovery of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sacred
city. There were found six letters writ
ten by the King Of Jerusalem to the
Pharaoh of Egypt, dating from the if
teenth century B. c. The name of this
King Of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba or
as some scholars read the cuneiform.
Abd-sadak, and he writes to the Phar-
aoh beseeching him to send soldiers, almost
as the Turks must have sent messages TO
Germany asking for reinforcements that they
might save the day.
In one letter Abd-hiba relates how he had
sent detachment of his own soldiers to de-
fend Jaffa, but that verify, Biia, Guat 5 son,
captured them. He pleads for aid assert
ing that he is still faithful to his Egyptian
Suzerain, and that the ISLANDERS against him
are untrue: Why are you favorable to the
Hebrews (Ha-bi-ri) and unfavorable to the
princes? Because | tell YOU the territory of
my lord will be ruined, they SANDER me.
Let my lord the king send troops.
The king has no longer any territory, the
Ha-bi-ri have devastated all the kings terri
tory. If troops come in this year the terri
tory will remain my lord the kings but if nc
troops come. the territory of my lord the
king IS lost t."
Here is indeed literal repetition of his
tory. This was 1897 years ago, and to-day
two great Powers are still fighting for the
control of Palestine. 1t is significant that
there are many Hebrews in the ranks of the
British, in fact, one of the RothschildS has
just laid down his life on the battlefelds of
Judea

capital of the district, who wrote such ap-

monument" according to the ancient chron-
icler.
1t is confidently expected that after the
capture of Jerusalem and the driving forth
of the Mosem, many valuable treasures IN the
way of ancient sarcophagi with manuscripts
and carved inscriptions viii be brought to
light from beneath the sacred rock and other
localities helping the modern world to grasp
the secrets so long concealed by the Grass
superstition of the Mohammedans, who would
not permit such excavations to take place on
this holy ground
We may find in the tunnels and chambers
beneath the sacred rock some of the records
of the Kings of Israel, and perhaps some of
the ancient manuscripts which were certainly
hidden when the Romans hammered at the
gates of the Holy City in the year 20 a. d.
What more natural than that the hottest
me- MORALS should be deposited in the rocky
chambers dug out centuries before beneath
the sacred rock. No one Will be surprised if
In these ancient Storehouses should be found
lost books of the Bible and chronicles of kings
and dynastieS of which we have barely the
names.
Most interesting would it be if from these
tunnels beneath the Sakhrah were to be
brought forth the famous "Urim and
Thummim, - the much discussed Jewel worn
by the High Priest of the Temple, consulted
BY him to ascertain the fate of Kings. Posi-
bly, the Ark of the Covenant itself, contain
ING the original tablets of the Ten Command
ments and the jewelled breastplate worn by
the High Priest may still lie burie din these
tunnels When Titus conquered Jerusalem
and destroyed the Temple he took away some
of It's sacred vessels, including the great sew
en-branched candleStick which is pictured on
the Arch of Titus at Rome, but much more
may have been concealed in the chambers be
meath the rock, and if they were, they are still
there and will certainly be found by the
twentieth century excavators.
There is only one modern European who
has been able to touch this great stone
Colonel c. R. Gender, the noted British
archaeologst states that in 1874 when. &C.
cording to the Sultan order, the dome of the
rock had been decOnsecrated for a time that
the building might be repaired, he managed
to crawl over the rock He thus describes his
experience:

the surface of the sacred Sakhrah rock and
to ascend the scaffolding to the dome above

''In 1881 I crawled through the Sloan

Washington. Feb. 2.-Senator Will
liam e. Borah. frequently mentioned
for the new Republican leader OF TT :
senate, has come into much promin-
1nce recently In senate affairs, par
ticulariy those important matters at
recting foreign relations. The senat-
or from Idaho is opposed to the presi-
dents plan for policing the world to
enforce peace and has made that clear
in the important address he delivered
on the occasion of the recent debate In
the senate Of the Hitchcock resolu-
ton.
The senator from Idaho shared with
Senator Lodge the responsibility and
the credit Of leading that fight in the
senate against a policy which many
believe to be ar abandonment Of the
Monroe Doctrine and the entering
upon the policy which George Wash
inRton warned against Of 'entangling
alliances"
FOR THE 1920 NOMINATION..
The interest in these activities OF
Idaho's aggressive and progressive
senator lies in the fact that he is grad
ually being accorded the rank of lead
ership in the senate and in the party
his seeking but in spite of 1t. Not
only is Senator Borah being talked a.
the senate leader for the Republ' cans
but his availability for the nomina-
ton for president in 1920 is frequently
suggested.
"There is no doubt" said Senator
Kenyon, of Iowa, one of the active
Progressive leaders in the senate, TO
the Capital News correspondent a few
DAYS ago, that Senator Borah is up
permost in the minds of Republicans
generally for the leadership OF the
party in 1920. I read recently In the
Capital News Washington dispatches
n reference to the fact that the ar
gumont raised by Borah himself
against his own availability for the
nomination last year-namely, that lie
was too far west and came from a
state with few clectiral votes-has
been disposed of by the recent cleo
ton. That Is true. The seat of poli
tical power has moved away from

TELEGRAM FROM BoRAH.

Il am sending this message at
the earnest request of the secre-
tary of state. The anti-alien land
bill is causing the government
here deep concern. After full
consultation, ] have felt justified
in making this suggestion, that
except only upon the most sub
stantial and Imminent reasons
should we embarrass the govern
ment, particularly at this time,
with our local affairs.
Il am quite in favor of Idaho
exercising the right when neees-
sary, to say who shall own her
lands, but in this critical hour
for our government. we ought not
to exercise that right unless the
situation commands us To do So
If the acquiring of lands is but
limited. or leases for short terms
would it not be practicable and
wise to waive this question for the
present, Furthermore. I have rea-
son to believe the whole matter
can be adjusted satisfactorily
through diplomatic channels.
Il have taken the liberty to
assure the president that neither
the legislature nor the people OF
our state would want to add to
his task at this juncture of our
foreign affairs other than for
vital and controlling reasons"

last election had few consultations for

them was that the country elected a

But the sentiment for Borah Is
