Milwaukee, Sept. 16.-The local
Communist Party Of America, which
has been termed the political step,
child Of bolshevism," failed in two at
tempts to hold meetings lere. The
West Side Turner hall, rented for the
occasion, was ordered closed by the
police, and when the followers Of com
munism retreated to Freie Gemeinde
hall, at which I. w. w. meetings have
been stopped on more than one occa'
sion, they found that place also under
the bluecoated ban.
After posters in red lStters had an
nounced that "the time is coming when
the working class will be invited ia
take the destiny of the world into its
own hands," and calling upon the read
er to prepare" for that time, the
communists" asked permission of the
police several days ago to hold the
meeting. 1t is not known whether the
permission was granted.

Antarctic "Shelf lce.n

From the work of recent explora-
tious. Sir Douglas Mawson concludes
that the rock foundation on which the
Antarctic ice cap rests is very irregu-
lar, partly above sea level and partly
below. and that its thickness, which Is
very variable, may reach maximum
Of several thousand feet Under the
thickest portions the static pressure nc
the base may be rs great as one ton
per square inch. Under such a cover
ing there may be considerable accu-
mutation Of ground heat, and 1t is as
sumpd that the under portion Of the lee
mass Is undoubtedly soft and plastic.
Where the sea breaks up the ice at
rate faster than the flow, the sea front
IS substantially the coast line. But
elsewhere. as in the Great Ross barrier
and the Shuckleton shelf. the supply
of ice exceeds the rate of erosion at
the sea front. and the overflow from
the land maintains thick sheet OF
shelf ice" extending far out to sea.
The sea front of the ice cap. nj the
present rate If advance or flowing out.
Is estimated 10 have left the center in
the seventh century OF our era.

PURPLE AND COLD
Adorned Armies Which Persian
Kings Led to War.

Warfare was a spectacular, as well

line of march. They were followed by
800 youths dressed in purple garments.
A chariot dedicated TO the sun was
drawn by snOw-white horses, led by
grooms wearing white garments and
carrying golden wands.
Ten chariots embossed with gold
and silver preceded the cavalry of u
nations, dressed in their various cos
tunes and carrying their peculiar
arms.
Then came the Persian immortnls,
10000 In number, wearing golden
chains and robes embroidered with
gold and glttering with precious
stones. Following at a short distance
came $4,000 mobiles, relatives of the
king, dressed In garments wonderfully
wrought
A company Of spearmen preceded
the King. He rode In an imposing char
lot, and wore robes Of surprising mag
niticence and n costly inter on his
head. by his side walked 200 of his
most noble kinsmen. Ten thousand
warriors, bearing spears with staffs
of silver tipped by heads Of gold, fol
lowed the royal chariot of Xerxes.
The kings horses, 40 in number. with
10000 footmen, ended the procession.
At some distance followed the moth

companied by their ladies' on horse

children. their tutors and nurses, and
600 camels, guarded by archers, bore
the royal treasury. The friends and
