they had no sooner completed work In
that picture than the hands Of the

modern arms. Of course, as in the
 case of our own soldiers such troops
 would need to have their training sup plemented by some months stay be-
 hind the battle-lines while learning the latest methods of warfare. But the
 half million men are there, intelligent, and partially trained, while probably
 a million and a half more are avail able, who have had more or less mili-
 tary trainin. Of course, if the war
 continues and the need became i'm
 perative, China could furnish man force and that, too, of m en who, ac-
 cording to all accounts, would make
 excellent soldiers, in numbers as great
 as those of all the rest of the Allies
 put together. @
 According to latest rumors also, it is
 not at all unlikely that Chinese sol
 diers may yet be seen on the battle front in France. Whether or not this
 result will be attained there can be
 no question of the willingness of the Chinese government and the Chinese people to send their soldiers. Their
 laborers who are taking the place of soldiers are already there by the scores of thousands, and before the
 war ends, the scores are likely to be- come hundreds of thousands
 In any event, both by spirit and ac- tual contribution to the war, China will have. earned her place at the council table of peace: and if the AL Flies at the end are true to the spirit Of democracy and to the preservation of the rights of weaker nations as
 they now profess, China will be a real
 gainer from the war, and China's ac-
 tual gain to the rest of the cilized world.

In the faint dawn of the arts, when men were searching among their primitive possessons for means of ,ex- presson, it came about quite natur- ally that weaving attained supremacy. It is perhaps the second sister of the family of arts, as the potter's craft was doubtless the first to be devel- oped. There was always the hair Of animals or the fibre of plants at hand with ochre for coloring, and the sim pie tools of the weaver, which even to this late day are most primitive.
 Through the lapse of ages, the weaver's art has changed but little, when the pigments of the painter were still unknown and the carver of stone was still chipping experiment. ally with the first maui and chisel. the weaver, master of perfected art, was telling in warp and wool the story of his period-a lasting repre- sentaton of his time. .
 It was a poem, or if you will. a sort of futurist picture that the weaver wrought into his fabric. At first he may have attempted the rel production of actual scenes. Later however, when his ideas became crys-
 
 figures became symbolical. Having become syngbolical, they became con ventionalized, and being conventional ized, they were now more designs. Yet in an Oriental carpet is written whether that carpet be made last year or five hundred years ago-the record of the ideals and yearnings and wor- ship of peoples who are now but names and unidentified dust, or whose very names have been scattered with them to dust.
 The rug seems to have been orig inally an article of adornment for chieftains or for royalty. Then it came into use in religious ceremon- a1s. which may may have suggested it's next adhibition as a wall hanging and covering for chairs and other pieces of furniture. Finally 1t found it's way to the floor. but it has never lost it's atmosphere of distnction, ii not of sanctity, with which a long evolution has invested it. It meets its logical apotheosis in the form of 9 prayer rug upon which the wor- shipper kneels supplicaton.

lively near, but many thousands of years ago. Rug making existed in Mexico and Central America in those ancient days when Egypt was still a wilderness Maya inscriptions wrought in stone, but lately discover ed, have proved to be identical in de- sign with some of the Oriental rugs that you have seen. Your rug has come home.
 From Central. America, Maya mis- sionaries carried the Maya religion, the Maya ideals and the Maya rugs to India. Thence the secrets of all three seem to have been conveyed to. Egypt in the early light of it's civilf- zation. Thence, also they must have been carried to the semi my thical Babylon, just beginning to flourish. And from Egypt, Babylon and India, came to the Mohammedan world of today, the prayer rug with it's but slightly changed traditional designs, the old, old designs, born in the dawn of the arts, and holding with each and all of their countless ages and nigrations meanings almost as slight ly changed.
 The tree life of the Mayas of our own America has become the tree of life of the Mohammedans, and the prayer rug which you buy today is merely getting back to this atmos- phere, the home of it's original an cestors.
 Of course the Mohammedan prayers mean nothing to you and the call of
 "Allahu
 "La ilah i1lahu"
 is to you only an intelligible vail. Yet though, you do not point the niche" of the rug toward Mecca, divest your self of jewe1ry and say upon rosary of 99 beads the ninety and nine beau tiful names of Allah,'' you cannot gaze upon that indescribab1e har- mony of fabric, color and design, called a prayer rug, without a-feeling of sympathy and reverence. It tells the story of the ages, and he who is fortunate to guess even a little of it's secret will understand how the devout l fire which the first weaver breathed 1 nto his crude designs has come down i to us enriched by the idealisms and l aspirations of thousands of genera tions of weavers, the whole chasten- ed and refined by the mellowing hand of Time, who has himself grown old since the making of the prayer ] rug on your hearth began.
