SACRED SCENES OF BIBLICAL STORIES
 TORN BY CONFLICT
mv Revlew Leased Wlrel

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN MESOPOTANIA, April 2S Gore spCndence of The Associated Press) ).- Warlile scenes again encompass places made sacred by Biblical stories or association with Biblical characters, alcng the British lines in this birth place of civilization.
 Going from Nahaf to lillian. one passes Kufa, with its beautiful mosque. built upon the spot where, according to 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 enc passes is Birs Nimrud, a huge mound of earth with a rcck-like brick foundation surmounting it, which according to Arab tradition. is all that remains of the tower of Babel But here the scientist somes in with his disappointing research and tells us that it is merely piece of work dating no further back than Ne buchadnezzar The tower remains in view until one enters lillian. Here science and local tradition agree. and one may look npon the identical cham Der where Relshazzar saw the hand writing on the wall
 The story of Noah and his flood is a tale easily credible in Mesopotamia. It nearly repeated itself in the first two years of the British struggle to- wards Bagdad. It takes little imagi- nation to picture the dove vainly seek ing a resting-place between Kut and Ali Gharbi.
 Those who survived the July of 1917 can easily believe the story of Shad- rach, Mesaach and Abednego, or. If there is any doubt in their minds, 1t will concern cnly the artificial origin of the fiery furnace.
 Eabel, the mixing Of tongues and Languages, is still in progress in Me soDotamia. Moreover, a new tongue is arising to increase the original con fusion. a coIapact English, Arabic and French In the new tongue, railroad is called "shemmin-Guffer," a core spCndent of the French "chemin-de- fer An automobile is called 'stron- bilT' which is as near as the Arab can get to the English pronunciation.
 At Alden the Arabs have coined a verd from an English eXplanative "damfUl-ni', to abuse. which is con- jugated in all the Arab moods and lenses. q damfuled you" he damfuled me" with the proper Arab infections.
 The British soldier too, is broaden ing his vocabulary. Two of the com mCnest Arab words, "'imshi" or go, and ''makoo." or there is ncne, have been adopted into army parlance.

no FeEL COAL SHORTAGE

ST. PAUL, Minn-, June l4.-Ihe coal shortage situation probably will be mere keenly felt this winter than last. according to representatives, of the United Mine Workers of America, who are attending the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor. Discussion of the coal situation arose late today alter a resolution request ing the federation to lend it's efforts to obtain coal for the New England district has been adopted.
 The adoption of resolutions asking congress to derive funds for carrying on the war from taxation rather than from bond issue, looking to the rehab- ilitation of labor after the war and making provision for returned soldiers was the outstanding feature of a ses- sion marked by the disposal Of nearil twenty-five resolutions.
 Other resolutions on which favor able action was taken included meas ures asking that suitable housing con ditions be provided for workers in in dustrial centers, means for eliminating labor spies. and the establishment of minimum wage scale for government employees.
 Resolutions calling upon the United States senate to consider and take i'm mediate action on the woman suffrage bin also were unanimously adopted by t.c convention.

War Summary


 The attempted drive Soy the armies of the German crown prince towards Paris seems definitely to have been checked. With thousands of their men having been fed to the guns on the Montdidier- NoyOn and SOissons-Vlllers Cotterets sectors in the mad rush 10 pierce the allied line in these regions and thus gain a fair way to the French capital, the maneuvers of the Geridan commanders apparently have brought to the German arms nothing more than the obliteration of the Noyon salient and the capture Cf a few unimportant positions southwest of SolssCns near the outskirts of the Villers Cotterets forest
 Friday. the sixth day of the offe=- sive between Noyon and MonJdidieT, witnessed only small local actions. Less than three days was required by
 the allies to bring the enemy to a virtual halt south of the Aisne. The feeling still prevails in military | circles in France that the main effort of the Germans has not yet been launched. and speculation Is rife as 10 when it will come and what the general objective will be-whether Paris or the channel ports. It is known that the enemy stil has large effeetiyes available behind the lines, thousands of them brought from the Russian front.
 The armies of General FCch, how ever. everywhere are watchfui and ol such strength and good morale as to lead to the belief Jhat no matter where the enemy chooses to oppose them,
 they will be able to give a splendid account of themselves.
 Seemingly it IS not imptObable that Field Marshal Fiaig's forces will be asked again to measure their strength againts the Germans, and that the tolritory near .Arras, or in the Scarpe sector. or before both positions msy be chosen by the Germans as the the atre.
 In both these sectors the German guns again are working with the vioi- ence that generally presages an at tack

On the other sectors of the tTonJ con- paratiye quiet prevails. i American, British and French air men continue to carry out aerial cpe- ra,ions above and behind the enemy | lines.
