Babylonian Empire.

The BabylOnian empire ended with
the conquest of the city by Cyrus, b.
@. 53S. The city itself was partly de-
strOyed by Darius Hystaspis, Il. G. 500,
the walls and gates being thrown
down. Later Xerxes plundered and
demolished the temples. Thereafter
the city was neglected and unpopu-
lated, and in time became a vast over
grown ruin. Jerome, in the year 400
A. D., writes of ii as having been
made a hunting park for the Persian
kings. The ruins of Babylon were
used as building material in the con-
struction of at least six other cities
that have sprung up since its decay.
So thorough has been the destruction
of the once great city that not only
are the traces Of its principal build
ing lost, but also the very site itself
is in dispute. The reference in 1 Peter
v. ID to Babylon is explained by the
fact that Babylon was the center from
which the Asiatic Dispersion lad
dressed by Peter) was derived. Jo-
sephus, the Jewish historian, states in
his Antiquities" that Babylon con-
tanned some 5000 Jews in the apos-
tolic age, the Parthians then being
master of that part of Mesopotamia.

Forty-Three Years Of Uninter-
rupted Protest Against Dom
ination of Conquerors.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
PARIS, May 1G.-"I lived thru AZ
years Of unfaltering and uninterrupted
protest against German domination
in Lorraine. and l can tell you that
Lorraine does not want to be Ger
man. said Canon Collin of Metz to
the Associated Press.
Canon Collin was one of the most
notable residents OF the annexed
province of Lorraine; his name was
third on the German imperial list of
suspects to be shot when war broke
out The French counter-espionage
informed him of the tact and he es-
capped into Luxembourg before the
war began
They did me too much honor in
placing me SO high on the list" the
canon added. FOR my sentiments
were no more anti-German than those
Of the whole people of Lorraine.
Tho policy OF the population of
both provinces for 4S years may be
summed up in the word protest in
three degrees; first, official protest
against German occupation and in
favor of remaining French; second.

Germans in our local affairs: third.

and Lorraine; altho there were diff
ierent degrees and different stages.
there was never any cessation or di-
minuation of our resistance.
Gould Not Crush Protests.
After 10 years OF this official pro-
testution began the regime of dicta-
turship and passports. with the object
of annihilating that resistance, but
II was continued thru the press and
at the polls at every election. Protest
survived the dictatorship, after which
it continued in the form of what
might be called 'particularism' or the
idea OF Lorraine for the natives Of
Lorraine.
TIE Germans had so little conf
dcnce in the population that they i'm
posed their own officials upon us
Germon-born people flocked into
Lorraine and Alsace until they num-
bered nearly 10000 in both PROV
inces 1t was then we demanded that
the Germans get out and leave the
place to the natives OF Alsace and
Lorraine.
"Our first hope, in spite of all. was
to return to France, tho at times we
had the painful sentiment that
France was forgetting us. We organ--i
lied the Souvenir Francais' thruout
Lorraine and It did wonders to re-
viNe French sentiment and reawaken
French patriotism in Lorraine The
Germans broke up the Souvenir
FIanCais.' then we organized the
Souvenir Lorpaine.' which was the
same thing under new name.
"A third OF the population of Lor-
raine knows not a word of German.

German imperfectly while on the

Try For New Mark

AS feature Of the swimming meet
during the Carnival il would surely be
a good plan TO stage an exhibition by
Miss Ruth Stacker for $40 yards. The
former champion has been In training
fer this event for some time, and many
believe that she can once more set a
new record for the distance. although
her time would not be recognized by
the Amateur Athletic Union.
At the last meeting OF the A. A. U,
the governors passed ruling which
allows professionals to compete in
amateur meets, but not in regular
amateur events. Miss Stacker, when
asked about competing, said that she
would be pleased to meet one of the
local boys in an exhibition over 440
yards, and really believes that she can
beat the time set by Claire Galligan
last year.
In a race before Miss Stacker was
declared a professional she set a new
record for the 440, and in another
race defeated Frederick Wilhelm in a
special event over this distance. HO-
nolulu swimming devotees have not
seen Miss Stacker in action in some
time, and il is certain that they would
welcome a special exhibition for an at

BRITISH CAPTURE TEUToN
RAIDER OFF IRISH COAST

NEW YORK, N. "a mysterious
German sea raider, which broke
through the British blockade and de-
stroyed a number of ships in English
waters, has been captured and now
rides at anchor in the Liverpool har-
Dor, according to information brought
here. The capture, it was said, was
made by the converted British cruiser
Teutanic, near the SPOT where the
Lusitania was torpedoed off the Irish
coast. The raider gave battle but
was forced to surrender
For many weeks there had been
rumors in British maritime circles of
a phantom raider in English waters
and it was suspected that many ships
supposed to have been sunk by sub
marines fell victim to this modern
Flying Dutchman."
