CITY's FIRST AND LAST FALL
JerIeho's Siege and Capture One Of the
Spectacular Stories OF the
Old Testament.

On the morning Of Washington's
birthday Gen. Sir e. 81. Allenby's Aus
tralian troopers rode as conquerors
into little village Of huts, noted geo.
graphically as being the city Of low
est elevation on earth, and in Biblical
history as being the scene of the
Promised Land, observes the Mime
apolis Journal.
In the Canaanite days Jericho was
a fortified city. commanding both the
lower ford Of the Jordan and the route
leading up to the highlands of Judea.
The story of its siege and capture and
the destruction of its population is one
of the spectacular stories of the Old
Testament, which contrasts strongly
with its gentle seizure by a Christian
army in year Of our Lord thirty-five
centuries later.
According to the Old Testament
story, the city was left desolate with
curse from Joshua upon the man who
should attempt to rebuild it. And 1t
is related that Hiel. the Bethelite. who
did rebuild it, lost his two sons in the
construction of the wall as punishment
for his temerity.
1t was at Jericho that Joshua insti-
tuted his campaign of frightfulness
upon his enemies: and it was on the
Jericho road leading up to the Judean
| highlands that Jesus laid the scene of
| the story of the Good Samaritan who
| gave first aid to wounded enemy.
| The advance from Joshua TO Jesus In
| the human ideal Of duty toward ones
| enemies Is the very measure of the
| spread between the ideals of linden
| burg and Allenby on the same ques-
| ton.
| This war is fundamentally con-
| f1ict between the ideals of modern
| brotherhood and ancient overlordship;
and nowhere is the contrast more note
worthy than in this little village of
| Jericho, where the people today are
safer in the hands of their enemies
| than they were under the rule of their
| own people. The world with the excep-
| ton Of Germany and Turkey. has trav-
eled long way between the two falls
/ of Jericho.

Where Thomas Yale Rests.

In the new American army there are
many officers whose alma mater is
Yale college, and some of them regard
Wrexham, in North Wales, as place
Of almost personal interest. For 1t is
there that Thomas Yale, who inaugu-
rated the great seat Of American learn

to recall that In the early nineties q

to Professor Phelps. formerly the

Lona Loaves Are Most Economical.

A loaf weighing one pound contains
IL per cent of water If ii is round
and only "a per cent if it is cylindrical.
Therefore. she who buys long loaves
gets 140 grammes more actual food for
her money than she who buys round
loaves.
The reason for this Is that the
sphere is the figure that contains the
largest possible volume under the
smallest possible surface. and, as evap-
Grafton is matter of surface, this is
