CITY'S FIRST AND LAST FALL
Jericho's Siege and Capture One OF h
Spectacular Stories OF the
Old Testament

On the morning of Washington's
birthday Gen. Sir +. II. Allenby's Aus
tralian troopers rode as conquerors
into a 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 C%anaanite days Jericho was
n 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 It's gentle seizure by a Christian
army in a year Of our Lord thirty-five
centuries later.
According 10 the Old Testament
story. the city was left desolate with
a curse from Joshua upon the man who
should attempt to rebuild It.. And It
is related that Hiel, the Bethelite, who
did rebuild IL, lost his two ions IN the
construction Of the wall as punishment
for bis temerity.
II was Al Jericho that Joshua instl-
tnted 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 n wounded enemy.
The advance from Joshua to Jesus in
the human ideal Of duty toward nne's
enemies is The very measure Of the
fnread between the ideals of linden
burg and Allenby On the same ques-
tion.
This war Is fundamentals a con-
nlet between the ideals of modern
hrof herhood and ancient o%yerlordship
pnl 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-
tfon Of Germany and Turkey. has trav-
eled a long way between the two falls
of Jericho.

tos and Peace Literature Instead
of Bombs.

London, March 26.-Fighting activ-
fly continues comparatively light on
other than British battle fronts ex-
cept for reciprocal bombardments and
trench raiding operations.
Along the Aisne front and in
Champagne, the artillery duels be-
tween the French and the Germans
have been somewhat violent. The
Americans on their sectors, especially
northwest of Toul, are daily keeping
up their artillery practice, with visibly
good results against the German po
sitions in front of them and now
and then carrying out successful
raids.
In the italian theatre the snow or
the ground and the freshlets I'm the
valleys continue TO hinder the opera
tions on a large scale, but from the
preparatory artillery activity and the
skirmishes that are being carries out
1t becomes increasingly evident that
this theatre shortly is to be the scene
OF a sanguinary encounter.
The cannonade along the Piava and
the mountain fronts is beginning tc
show increased activity. The enemy
Is again resorting to insidious meth
ods of propaganda and the last all
raids are notable for the dropping o.
manifestos and peace literature, in
stead OF bombs.

for any country customer. that re-
tailers' stocks may be illustrated
