 ARNOLD'S DEATH

Benedict Arnold's checkered career
 came to an end IF years ago today when he died in London. He com
 manded the American expedition
 against Quebec in 1775. Leaving
 Augusta, Me, at the head of HOO
 men, on Sept. Il, he reached Quebec
 two months later. after fearful
 march. Scaling the heights to the Plains of Abraham, he dared the gar rison to come out and fight. Denounc-
 ing Arnold and his men as mere
 ''rebels," unworthy of any consider ation, Sir Guy Carleton refused the challenge. British endorsements 1 compelled Arnold to fall back. On l the arrival of Gen. Montgomery the l two undertook an assault in which
 Montgomery was killed and Arnold's | leg shattered. Arnold continued to 1 blocka de the position until April, and | in the meantime was commissioned brigadier-genera1, and was given

FAMOUS BIBLICAL | SITES SCENE OF WAR ACTIVITIES. Ianah's Landing Place and Tower of Babel Again in
 Limelight. BRITISH SOLDIERS
 USE ARAB WORDS Arabs Also Adopt Many Words From Their Eng
 fish Allies.

With the British Army in Mesopo- tamia, June 13-Warlike scenes again encompass places made sacred by | Biblical stories or association with | Biblical characters, along the British | lines in this birthplace of civiliza- ton.
 , Going from Nahaf to lillian, one | passes Kufa, with it's beautiful mosque tuilt upon the spot where according D popular belief, Jonah was cast up by the whale. Half an hour later, the traveller comes upon another shrine, the tomb of Ezekiel, revered by Mos lem and Jew alike.
 The next relic one passes is Birs Nimrud, a huge mound of earth with a rock-Ike brick foundation sur mounting it, which according to Arab tradition, is all that remains of the Tower of Babel. But here the scientist comes in with his disap pointing researches and tells us that it is merely a piece of work dating no further back than Nebuchadnezzar The tower remains in view until one enters lillian. Here science and To- cal traditions agree, and one may loo upon the identical chamber where Eelshazzar saw the handwriting on the wall.
 The story of Noah and his flood is tale easily credible in Mesopotamia. It nearly repeated itself in the first two years of the British struggle to- Iwards Bagdad. It takes little inn agination to picture the dove vainly seeking resting place between Kut and Ali Gharbi.
 Those who survived the July of 1917 can easily believe the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, or, if there is any doubt in their minds, it will concern only the artificial orig in of the fiery furnace.
 Babel, the mixing of the tongues and languages, is still in progress in Mesopotamia. Moreover, a new ton gue is arisnig to increase the origi- nal confusion, a compact of English, Arabic and French. In the new ton que, railroad is called "shemmin- ruffer,' a corruption of the French "chemin-de-fer.'' An automobile is called 'stronbill'' which is as near as the Arab can get to the English pro- nunciation.
 At Alden the Arabs have coined a verb from an English expletive- "damful-ni' to abuse, which is con- jugated in all the Arab moods and tenses,-"I darnfuled you' ''He dam fuled me-" with the proper Arab in- factions
 The British soldier, too, is broaden ing his vocabulary. Two of the com monest Arab words, "imshi'' or go, and ''makoo,' or there is none, have been adopted into army parlance. In Basrah one may hear the soldiers calling out for "bil1-bellam." Bel lam in Arabic is a boat, and ''bill'' is the proposition ''in,' but Tommy At kins is never purist even of his own language.

MEXICO HAS
 SPREAD NET FOR
 sA FOREIGNERS

Mexico City, June 13.-Mexican newspapermen, as well as foreign cor respondents, have been caught in the net which the government recently spread for what are termed 'perni- cious foreigners" eligible for deporta- ton under Article 33 of the constitu- tion, and disseminators false news
 A policy of 'forcible investigation" was the remedy applied to the editors of Redencion, an afternoon paper op- posed to the government. This paper published stories of the alleged suc- cesses won by General Luis Caballero recently in Tamaulipas, after he re- volted against the government, and printed somewhat alarming stories of conditions in that state.
 To prove it's contention that the news printed was false, the govern ment provided the two editors with an escort of a general and twenty men and sent them on a trip through Ta- naulipas by way of Monterey to Tam pico. Upon their return after jour ney that lasted about a fortnight, the editors admitted they had not found the conditions prevailing to which they had referred. But, by implica- ton, they stated it would have been . foolish for them to expect to make an independent investigation with the es. cort that accompanied them. The editors concerned are Alfonso Bar rera Periche and Manuel Bauch AL calde.
 Another editor whose arrest has been ordered and whose paper, Fl Hombre Libre, has not appeared for some time, is Hugo Sol. He attack ed the president and the administra. ton.
 Attorney Emilio Ruz Quijano, re sponsible for the publication of Tilin. Tfhn, (Ring the Bell) is also in the tolls.

D'ANNUNZIO.

Lieut.. Babriele d'Annunio-to give
 him his military title-is perhaps the
 only living bard who can truthfully claim to be national poet" As the eloquent spokesman for the Italians, he was to no small extent respon- sible for firing the patriotic enthu- siasm of his countrymen. At the Gar ibaldi celebration shortly before It. aly's final break with Austria, d'An- nunio received such popular acclaim as has fallen to the lot of no other poet of modern times. When war was declared the poet sought permis- sion to accompany the Italian battle fleet, and when his application was refused he enlisted in the army an6

GOVERNOR HARRINGTON
SPEAKS In new YORK
The National Conference on War
Economy.

New York, June introduced
by Victor MorawetZ, a former Mary
lander, as the father of the first State
executive budget, Governor Harring-
ton, of Maryland, delivered an ad
dress here this afternoon in the He
tel Aston before the National Con-
ference on War Economy, under the
auspices of the Academy of Political
Science, the Bureau of Municipal Re
search and the National Municipal
League.
The subject of Governor Rarring-
tons speech was the first State eX-
ecutive budget. He began his speech
by saying that, in spite of his many
duties in Maryland, he could not de-
cline the invitation to come over ana
tell of his experiences in behalf of
real State executive budget. This was
established by an amendment to the
State Constitution, ratified by the
people by an overwhelming plurality.
The Governor said he supposed
that in other States, as in Maryland,
it had been usual for State appro-
priations to be made in the closing
hours of the legislature, leaving the
executive to do the pairing that had
been changed by the inauguration OF
the budget system, whereby the leg
islature could eliminate items, re-
duce expenses, but could not in
crease the appropriations. The Gov
ernor told his hearers that there had
been in Maryland a system of con-
tinual annual appropriations that
would go on indefinitely without &C
ton by successive sessions of the
General Assembly. The Governor
cited a case in which an appropria-
tion made by one session of the leg
islature had run on nearly 100 years.
That system disappeared with the es-
adjustment of the executive budget.
The Governor pointed with pride
to the fact that in budget calling
for the expenditure of $12,000,0 200
the legislature had reduced the bud
get by only $4,000. In conclusion,
he commended the principle of the
State executive budget as providing
public information as to how the
money of the taxpayers was spent,
and as forming an incentive for
economy in public administration.
