The New Native" is the name of a new paper at Hydaburg, pub lished by the class of journalism of the government school there. Boyd Nakathla is advertising manager. The circulation department is in charge of Gideon Duncan. The paper is under the general super vision of Marius Handsome, school principal. The name "New Native" was chosen for the paper because the natives of Hydaburg have for saken the old ways and embraced the customs of civilization.

DIRECTOR SAYS
 EAST REQUIRES
 AID OF FRANCE

PARIS.-The rights" of France to guide the destines of Syria, Le- banon and Armenia Minor were ex- pounded to the Associated Press re- gently by NJ. Gout. director for Asia in the French foreign office NJ Gout asserted that it had long been the role of France to protect 1he helpless peoples of the Orient and recalled interventions by France in Syria and Lebanon to defend the Christians and that France had played great part in the defense of the Armenians in 1895 and 1896.
 France" he said, worked not only to protect Christians. but she also sent missionaries into all parts of Turkey. not for the purpose of proselytirg, but for teaching and charitable work. Before the war there were French schools in all sections of Turkey. and in the great towns there were French hos pitals for the care of the poor. In Syria the number of French schools was considerable In Beirut we had large university, and I must add that the Americans also had one, working for the civilization of the Syrian people. 4 great number of physicians were bred in the French universities.
 M Gout called attention to the fact that French capital and in- dustry had created three of the four ports of Asia Minor. and pointed to the great railways built and con troAed by the French. The first road opened between Damascus and the coast, the Damascus Beirut line. was French, he said. IL was also French society which before the war undertook the repair of roads Tn many parts of the Ottoman em- pire, and French company had a concession for big railway in Armenia. The important silk in dustry of Syria. he added. had been fostered and developed by France.
 We may point out also the great share of France in the pblic debt of Turkey, which is nearly sixty per cent" he continued. "The share of England before the war was ten or twelve per cent, that of Italy nearly five per cent, and Ger many had all the rest.
 There is another important phase of the question. You know about the great number of monast- cries and religious institutions in Jerusalem. For our French Catho lie Jerusalem is a second Rome and they always have sent money and missionaries to promote the Catholic influence in this holy town.
 This sums up a large part of the claims of France in Asia Minor,
 nd l believe that NJ. Pichon (French foreign minister) was entitled to speak of our rights there. He was re more entitled to do so in view .of the abominations committed against the Armenians and Syrians by Turkish Unionists early in the war Referring to the treaty signed by France and England while the war was in progress under which France "as to have supervision of Syria,

- AKENKHONSU was right
X Save the son Of Seti alone.
- none died who dwelt in or
about his house, though elsewhere
all the firstJborn of Egypt lay dead,
and the first-born Of the beasts also.
When this came to be known
throughout the land a rage seized
the Egyptians against Merapi who,
they remembered, had called down
woe on Egypt after she had been
forced to pray in the temple and,
as they believed, to lift the dark
ness from Memphis.
BakenkhOnsu and / and others
who loved her pointed out that her

also, that by her witcheries she had
stolen the heart of Seti away from
his lawful wife and made him to
turn that lady. the Royal Princess

that she was forced to dwell alone
at Tanis.
Now came the glad tidings that
