the Exchange Telegraph company.
Field Marshal Won Hindenhurg is re-
ported to have arrived at Berlin.
Street fighting has been particular
ly sanguinary, it is said. owing to
the fact that the Spartacus element
has plenty of weapons taken from the
munition factories at"Spandau. While
the machine guns We're firing and
bombs were dropping, moving picture

that severe street fighting occurred

The first encounters between the
government and the Spartacan forces
occurred Sunday in front of the
Kaiserhof hotel, when one person was
killed and eight others were wounded.
According to an eyewitness, some of
the troops turned against the govern

governments orders to recapture the
quarters of the Wolff bureau, the
semi-official news agency. On the
other hand, q marine division is said
to be supporting the government.
The Spartacans refused all offers Of
the government to negotiate and were
attacking the foreign office. the chan

Many difficulties had to be over
come in the production of a satisfac-

among these was that Of neutralizing
the magnetism Of the engine (and in

which caused the card or dial inside
the compass to swing in a direction
quite Independent Of north when the
airplane was banking on a turn. How

TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice In Vogue Today Has Come
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on a copy of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool OF the law Cor the phylac-
teries), a ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was to lay the hand on
the Gospel, and It was kept up TO q
modern date In the oath of the Uni.
versity OF Oxford. The practice Of
kissing the book. which became so
well established In England. appears
in the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar, or latter the
manner Of ancient Rome) the swear
er laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward 1t; above all. Il became
customary to touch the relics OF saints
on the altar. Other objects. as the
cross. the bishops crozier. etc. were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection of a sacred object
was called a corporal or bodily oath.
as distinguished from merely spO-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath is taken is "halidome. -
The "halidome" on which oaths are
sworn In England is a copy of the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
of other religions are used In like
manner. a Mohammedan swearing ON
the Koran, Hindu on the Vedas.
