SIMPLY PLACE or DEsOLATIoN
Little for the Traveller to Enthuse Over
When He Visits the Old City
of Jerusalem.

The allies advance in Palestine has
taken them through Jerusalem and the
little village Of Jericho. The plain Of
Jericho, the scene Of so many historic
incidents in the past. is once again
caught in the old glare of the spot
light. Such light reveals too plainly
the hopeless poverty of the people, the
cracks and holes in the rough walls of
the novels, the fields and gardens, fall
len by neglect into riot Of weeds and
wild flowers growing rank.
1t is better to lock at Jericho at sum
set, and not too critically even then. In
soft light the wretchedness Of the
thatched huts is less insistent. the Jas
mine and oleanders seem sweeter and
the ragged Bedouins acquire pictur-
esqueness in spite Of dirt and squalor.
1t Is only short walk through the
plain from this Jericho Of the present
to the two other sites which have
borne the same name. One, the Jericho
of Old Testament, destroyed by Joshua,
is only memory, its reality proved by
bits Of unearthed walls and pottery.
The third Jericho of the triangle is the
Jericho of the New Testament, the city
Of palm trees which Antony bestowed
upon Cleopatra and which she later
sold to Herod the Great. Made gor-
geous in the reign Of Herod as a city
of palaces, it is now only a wreck Of
stones and battered towers. The palms
for which it was famous are gone, with
the palaces and circus which they
shaded. The plain of Jericho is will
derness, bound to civilization by it's
many highways and its tiny village. A
few miles to the southwest lies Jeru-
salem connected with the village by
the robber-infested road along which
the good Samaritan Travelled. All about
the plain rise the cliffs, mounted by
steep and winding trails. 1t is not an
attractive region, but even If 1t were
more wild and desolate than it is it
would still be much visited, for at
every step are landmarks of history.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Congress
returned to Washington today after
the holiday recess and promptly
pulled onto a siding awaiting signals
from President Wilson.
Tomorrow the president will de-
liver his railroad legislation message
and ask that it be given a clear track
until disposed Of. He will explain
the exigencies which led to govern
ment operation of the roads and de-
tail the need for prompt appropria-
tions and enactment Of the protec-
tive laws that the McAdoo directing
regime may be unhindered In carry
ing out its gigantic task.

pose when 1t arrived today. TIC

front It, Vast sums OF money must

rested by the president Is the basis
for paying the railroads and the ques-
ton of getting back government mon

from the railroad legislation. con-

to change earlier forecasts OF the

Legislators returned reflecting
deep interest in the progress OF the

learned that none Of the four has
yet reached a stage where it Is pos
sible to forecast legislative results.
Investigators today said it is likely

There were no indications today
when the Investigations will end.
