for 1915. and that the average com
pensation per employe. excluding Of

SSl3.17 In 1915. Tho returns. which

of Germany: Louis VII. King of
France; Richard the Lion Hearted.
Frederick Barbarossa, Philip Augustus
of France. several popes and host of
others are recalled by that military
force which is moving toward Jerusa-
lem. The crusades come to mind as
one reads the accounts of the advance
toward the Holy City of Sir Archibald
Murray's army, which started from
Egypt and which numbers in its ranks
men from many of the countries of
the world The crusades were those
wonderful armed pilgrimages which
continued at intervals during 200 years
through the twelfth and thirteenth CEN
turies. and whose aim was to wrest
the holy sepulcher from the Moham-
medans. Perhaps with the develop
ment of this war the state of Zion
may be realized.
Few persons seem to read the re-
markable story of the crusades after
closing their school books. and it is
doubtless permissible to remark that
IN the school text books only a sketchy
outline OF the crusa des is given. 1t is
a subject, or a series OF related sub
iects, to which numerous authors have
consecrated themselves, and an i'm
mense literature has grown out of the
wars for the recovery of the Holy Land
The inception of the crusades appears
to be beyond discovery. Centuries be-
fore the word came into use there wre
pilgrimaGes CT Christians to Jerusalem.
Certainly there were piigrmages as
early as the year 700. The pilgrimage
was a form OF penance. II was taught
that men might purge themselves of
sin by fasting, by fagellation or by pill
grimage, and the latter was the highest
form OF penance, because the pilgrim
brought himself to stand on holy
ground These pilgrims, bound for the
bodies and for their protection. The
holy sepulcher had been under the do
minion of Mohammedans since 1t fell to
the arms of Oman, in the year 637, or
fifteen years after the Hegira. There
were long periods. however. when the
Mohammdan rul was quite generous L.
ward the Christians. Charlemagne
founded library and hospital at Jeru-
salem and Harun- al Rashid recog-
nized him as the protector of the Holy
city and the owner of the Church OF

Turks, the SeIjuks, captured Jerusalem
in 1911. Their predecessors had given
a kindly welcome to the Christian pill
grims and looked on them as a source
of much profit.
The new masters threw many oh
stacles and dangers in the path of the
pilgrims. This added to the many
grievances which the Christians of
Europe already held against the Turk.

She R@pr0dwces New Discoveries i'm Economic Bot

7N the multitudinous divisions Of
work in the Department of Agri-
culture, all bending their energies
q at this time of special agricultural
activity. the division of economic and
systematic botany is contributing its
due share to the countrys economic re-
sources.
This Office maintains economic col
lections Of cultivated plants and makes
systematic studies of grasses and other
economic plants, complies information
on native plants for publication, tests
wild and little-known plants and ex-
periments with a view to making them
available for public use.
Recent Investigations have brought
to light valuable information regarding
the properties of many economic plants
new to science. with their uses as food.
drugs, dyestuffs. resins. balsams. spices,
and SO on. The information collected
is given to the public in the form of
reports, and many of the specimens of
new and unusual plants are to be
found preserved in the United States
National Herbarium, which finds its
place in the Smithsonian Institution,
for this is one of the instances of the
work of two departments of the gov
ernment cooperating and correlating.
To present these new discoveries to
the scientific world and to the general
public these new plants must be pic
tured, and it is the work of a talented
ha of no De-
partment of Agriculture to reproduce
