offending. No regret for the war, no
remorse for the crimes of the war,
nothing approXimating an understand
ing or appreciation of the western point
of view has yet been revealed, except
in very scattered instances. Mean
time, the German line of defense
against the terms of the treaty Of peace
is beginning to unfold. The German
is going to make an effort to catch the
so-called liberal and radical opinion of
the world. He is going particularly to
make a play of Mr.. Wilson's fourteen
points, and he still believes that he has
a chance to separate America from
the other allies and persuade Presi-
dent Wilson to advocate a modification
of the terms.
The main German attack will be
directed against the financial sections
Of the treaty, and especially against
that section which provides that the
total bill of Germany shall not be made
up until 1921. The German demands
that he shall know how much he is to
pay at once, as a necessary antecedent
condition to beginning the business, He
will insist, and is insisting, that the
financial provisions amount to a pro-
longation of war indefinitely. On the
whole, this seems to be his main line

BELLS MAKE SPLENDID MUSIC
Sweet Sounds Have Moved Many
Great Writers to Record Their
Tribute of Delight.

The lovely carillons of bells in Bel
gian towers have inspired many a
poet many an author. Rosetti, Stew
enson, Thackeray, Thomas Hardy,
Victor Hugo, Longfellow, Macdonald,
Henry VanDyke and others have writ
ten of the music of the carlton. The
40 bells in the tower of st. Rombold
at Mechlin, or Malines, which were
heard by Victor Hugo In 1915, gave
birth to a poem which tradition says
he wrote with his ring upon the win
dow pane of little inn in the middle
of the night The theme is a deScrip-
ton of the wonderful carlton music
at Malines. Another writer, William
GGrham Rice, who heard the great
master of bells. Josef Denyn, play on
the carlton of ST Rombold, has given
a splendid description of the effect of
this music upon him. He says:
Sometimes in winter, after icicles
have formed, there comes thaw, and
one by one they tumble down gently al
first, then holder in mass they come
till, like an avalanche, they crash
down with a mighty~<oar. All of this
the music suggested. 1t was low, il
was loud, it was from one bell it was
from chords of bells. il was majestic,
it was simple. And every note seemed
to fall from above, from such heights
that the whole land heard its beauty"

"Chuck! Chuck I"
The ak, swung by fear-nerved arms,
ate into the wiry spruce.
The eighteen-hundred pound ham
mer resting On its crest was exerting
its power. Biggs paused a brief in
slant in suspense-then the ak circled
viciously and bit the wood.
"Crack-k!" Biggs shifted his foot
to the angle of brace and swung a
last desperate stroke square at the

The next moment he was staring

Then he observed his box-car sta
ton slide by and awoke to realization.
A faint roar from far up the mountain
spurred him on and he rushed forward.
He was scrambling over the coal
pile to the engine cab when he felt
the sudden interruption in flight that
told of the application of air brakes.
He glanced up and beheld "a man han

"Gofr, fireman, fresh from the water

His dripping garments corroborated
his statement amply and forced a smile
to Biggs' face.

swung in snaky circles.

from all over the city came straight
from his beak, the hollow upper and
lower halves of which he was striking
together with incredible rapidity."
In the Bazaars and Square.
The bazaars of Mosul are not the
attractive places they might be ex-
pected to be in a city of so much traf-
fic. AS William Warfield says in his
book, "The Gate Of ASIA they are
rarely roofed and are furnished only
with the commonest wares. The shop
keepers are generally Christians, but
there are many Arabs. Garden prod
uce is often sold in the squares in open
markets, and at any time vendors may
be seen talking in the streets, with
eggs or cucumbers in a basket, while
the mosque courtyards are favored
places for sweetmeat sellers, who dis
play Turkish delight" on scaIloped
copper trays. The bazaars radiate
from picturesque square quite near
the bridge, which is the center of the
town. To the south and southwest
are the diapers, shoemakers and har-
ness makers; to the northwest the
greengrocers, while the potters and
dealers in hardware are to be found
in narrow stores opening on a street
that runs to the north.
AS to the square itself, it Is, of
course, one of the famous meeting
places of Mosul. Here the caravans
are gathered together, and their own
ers sit on the famous second-story
gallery Of a coffee shop, while the
muleteers stroll about the crowded
place, or lounge among bales covered
with brown and white striped sack
cloth. These men are almost always

Site of Ancient Nineveh.
For many people the great attrac-
ton of visit to Mosul, the most I'm
accessible place in the sultan's domfn-
ion, lies across the famous "bridge of
boats" at the other side of the Tigrfs,
where the huge, formless mounds, ris-
ing up out Of the sand, mark the site
of the ancient city of Nineveh. ANY
attempt to tell the story Of Nineveh
would involve a journey back to the
very beginning of things. Later As
syrian writer's declare with confidence
that its story ran back as a matter Of
course to the creation of the world"
but, as matter of fact, the first firm
ground in the midst of tradition is
reached about the year 22o0 B. c.. That
wonderfully vivid period in Nineveh's
history with which the world. espe-
cially recently. has become familiar
lies between the ninth and sixth cen
turtles B. G.. In this period the reign
of Sennacherib is of course by far
the most important.
Nineveh, however, depended entire
~ for it's greatness and power upon
the conquering spirit of its rulers and
the military glory and powers Of fits
armies. and when these were ultimate
ly defeated the city fell, never to rise
again, and its very site was quickly
forgotten among the nations.

MosuI's Many Storks.

The old town, with its strangely
narrow streets, even for the east, is
surrounded by half-ruined wall, built
in modern times as a protection
against the Shammar Arabs. Every
one remarks on the narrow streets of
Mosul, on its white, crumbling houses,
on the gypsum dust which falls con-
stantly from the walls over everything,
and upon the Storks. Indeed the
storks of Mosul are apparently its
most remarkable feature.
Discussing the matter one authority
tells how, in the cool of the evening,
the citizens of Mosul share their
housetops with innumerable storks,
who build their ragged nests on the
highest places sin utter disregard of
the laws of gravity" Four great, pre-
posterous specimens of the species
stood, in the early morning, on wall
beside the room where he was. he con-
tinues. and he dmly realized that
they were performing their morning
toilet. They took no notice of him.
But a loud noise like someone rafting
a stick in wooden bucket attracted
his attention. Then somebody else
with another bucket made a similar
noise in different key, and he Won
dered what in the world could they be
doing to the buckets. Then it dawned
upon him that half the population OF
Mosul must be rafting buckets, for
the sound came from far and near,
faint or loud according to distance,
and in a hundred different keys. Then
