Excavations May Thrill The World.

Excavation at Jerusalem may furn-
ish thrilling discoveries, and il is like
ly that this work may be commenced by
pious Christian hands as soon as the
war is over and the world begins 10
right itself. Authorities on archeol-
ogy, as applied TO biblical research, be-
lieve that excavation al Jerusalem will
restore to light within the next few
years such wealth of information con-
cerning Jesus Christ as the world has
never possessed.
With Palestine under enlightened
rule the work of archaeological research
by means of excavation will be able 10
proceed. The Turkish government has
permitted practically no excavation and
research in Jerusalem and it is said
that at least sixty feet of accumulation
now covers the Jerusalem of our Lord.
Biblical scholars are extremely hope
full over the effect of new information
about the Scriptures, and they believe
that at Scheckem, at Bethlehem and
Nazareth, and at numerous other
points, the richest information is yet to
| be unearthed.
One of the distinguished biblical
scholars, speaking of the prospect Of
making excavations in Palestine, said:
"Not for a moment do | think any
thing the Christian holds dear today
will be upset by this information. On
the contrary, it is to be enriched and
confirmed, and We are to know far
more than We do now concerning Christ
and His life on earth. Many things
but now family understood may be
made clear Such researches will be
undertaken as the world has never
seen. Hardly will the war end before
these studies will start The Christ
ian world is even now impatient to be-
gin"
Dirt and other forms of debris cover
parts of Jerusalem TO such a depth that
from the surface it has been impossi-
bic to identify with positiveneSs vari-
Gus objects and localities associated
with the life of Christ. The site of
Mount Zion, according TO various bib
lical scholars, is more or less a matter
Of speculation. Opinion once located
it on the hill overlooking the Valley of
Hinnon, but more recent authorities
put it just below the temple area, on
the eminence hitherto known as Oph-
oil. This will be one of the problems
of the eXcavatOrs.
Complete Identification of the gates
Of the temple is one of the things to be
sought. Excavation, it is hoped, may
bring to light much matter relating to
the Pool of Sloan. The old Damas-
Gus gate may be uncovered. II is OBJ
viouS TO those persons who have visit
ed the city that the present Damascus
gate is built on top of another gate,
the upper angle of whose archway just
appears above the present pavement
running through the gate.
The Judgmen; Hall of PLATE may be
uncovered. The floor of the Tyropean
valley as Christ saw it, on the edge of
which the Judgment Hall stood, is
now from twenty to sixty feet below
the surface Of the land.
EXcayators in the temple area may
be delayed a long time, some persons
think, out Of consideration for Moslem
sensibilities. Two mosques 5tand in
or upon that sacred enclosure, and one
mosque which is considered by Mos
lens as the most sacred outside of Nee

Throughout an especially severe

"Oh, just a little Bit" responded
the defendant.
"Now," said the attorney, "for the

will please step down here and, with
me for a subject, illustrate just how
hard you mean"

present regulations

The house in Joppa, Palestine, where
ST. Peter stayed with Simon the Tanner,
is to be secured by the Church Army
as a centre for the care OF British
troops fighting in Palestine. Church
Army centres are located in isolated
North Sea bases, in all important
camps in the United Kingdom, France,
Italy, Egypt and Flanders, at Malta,
Salonki, Bagdad, Kut, along the banks
Of the Tigris and Euphrates, and In
East Africa. As many as 1000 letters
are written home from one hut in a day
and a hut will supply 1000 men with
refreshments, but chief honors go TO
the coffee cart which accompanies the
men whenever they 90 into action.

German Emperor Carefully Guarded.

So closely is the German Emperor
guarded when he travels by rail through
Belgium that his movements are kept
even from the railroad officials hand
ling his train up to the last possible
moment, according to a correspondent
of the London Chronicle who has sew
eral times witnessed the Emperor's ar
rival.
"Whenever the passage Of the I'm
perial train is to take place the fact is
not known TO the chief railway official
until the same day, and to his subor-
dinates not until a quarter Of an hour
before the arrival" the correspondent
says. "In the station the lines are
all kept free"
Describing one such arrival of the
Emperor's train the correspondent says:
GAIL workmen, on this occasion, wheth-
er Belgian or German were dispatched
outside, and access to the station was
forbidden. This applied to all passen-
gers as we'll. The military guards oc-
cupying parts Of the station and en-
virons were ordered to leave their posts
and pile their arms. The only persons
allowed on the platform were the sta
tionmaster, his employees appointed to
work the signals, and the military chief.
There was no guard of honor, no mani
festation whatever
"This clearing of the station takes
place at every station through which
the train passes, which it does at max
imum regulation speed. AT Brussels
detrainment took place opposite the
Place Rogier, which is military post
since the occupation.
"The space in front of the station,
which is always forbidden ground to
passengers, was occupied by several
motor cars. AS soon as the Emperor
entered his car the small fleet ran
swiftly to the Pare Rue Royale, where
the Kaiser stayed several hours.
During the presence of the Kaiser
the officials always display the utmost
nervousness in fear of anything taking
place, and they always breathe sigh
of relief when their master is gone.
The fact that even the military are OBJ
liged to retire and pile their arms seems
to suggest a distruSt of his own army"

Increasing The draft age from 81 to 40

NEW VOL. 53-No. 3
Concerning Drafted Men.

That only men listed in Class OF
the great national classification OF
the registered men of the country
probably will be needed 10 keep the
ranks Of the army filled during the war
is the prediction of Provost Marshal
General Crowder in his report on the
outcome Of the first draft, submitted to
Secretary Of War Baker. After ex.
pressing the belief that Glass will
furnish nearly a million acceptable men,
General Crowder said:
"Whether this guess be justified in
practice of not, il can DC announced now
as the policy and belief Of this Office
that in all probability il will be possible
10 I'LL our military needs without ever
invading any class more deferred than
Glass / !; and this is the promise, stand
ard and the goal, here for the first time
announced. toward which every admin
iStratiye effort of this Office shall be d.
rected."
General CroGder stated that should
Class fail 10 furnish enough men, he
preferred to see the draft law amended
so as TO include men who have attained
the age of twenty-one since June last,
and who will attain that age each year
as long as the war lasts. II is esti-
mated by officials of the War Depart
ment that 100000 men would become
available for the draft each year If the
law would be so amended.
The examinations Of the physicians
in the draft disclosed the fact that city
boys we're as equally fit physically for
military service as country boys, both
showing approximately % per cent Of
reflections. Comparative figures Of the
medical examinations of the men called
in the draft for this war with those
called for the first draft of the civil
war show that the average American
of today is superior physically TO those
Of fifty years ago.
