Famous Old Town of Mosul,

The town of Mosul reached It's
greatest prosperity toward the begin-
ming of the decline of the caliphate,
when it was for time an independent
capital. In the eleventh century it be-
longed to the Seljuks and in the
twelfth, under the sway of the famous
Atabegs, particularly of Zenki, it had
a short period of splendor. One of its
curious distinctions in history is the
fact that the governOrship OF the
town, as the pashalik, was long hered-
itary in the originally Christian fam
lily Of Abd-al-jalil, and 1t was only dur
ing the nineteenth century that the
porte succeeded, after long and Sc
we're contest, in establishing more
centralized system Of government.

SEEING STRENGTHENS BELIEF

Hatfield, Ark, June 16, 1919.
Editor, Mena Star.
Dear Sir: Saturday / went to Gill
ham, in Sewer County, to fill an APP
pointment for the Rev. j. Watt Full
ton at the NJ. E. church. And in the
meantime and incidentally found out
something about the highway in that
county | couldn't help it.
| found that the farmers were all
very much pleased with the road. |
did not meet single man or hear of
one that was doing any kicking.
Farmers living on the road are in
good shape and are showing more
thrift and progress than we are. Their
orchards and truck patches are al
ready bringing them in good money.
The people at Gillian Saturday were
handling money from their garden
and berry crops just like we do here
in the fall of the year when cotton is
being sold. ! was surprised. Bud
Johnson, living in Gillian, told me
that one of his little girls has already
made over 500 this spring picking
berries and preparing vegetables for
shipment.
When a farmer wants to sell out /
found that all he had to do was to
name his price and he would instantly
be taken up by some one.
The road tax in Gillian township
amounts to $1,000 per year. Former
ly one-third of it went on the road
where the highway now runs. Now
they spend the whole $1,000 on the
other roads in the township and they
too, are in good shape.
Even road boosters need to go down
there. A man can believe a thing
without seeing it, but seeing always
strengthens belief.

Nothing Changed in Germany.

ANttiitiE &idttE I'll III NCi Htdtits
From the Kansas City Star.
1t is not surprising to hear that this
military party in Germany is agar
in the ascendant, and that the genera
staff, which some persons have though
Of as being in exile with Ludendorff
is acting over the heads of the civil
government quite as it was aecus
toned to act in the days when the
Reichstag was employed to deceive
the thoughtless into imagining thai
Germany had democratic institutions
There is, of course, no real reason
to suppose that Germany and the Ger
man people have abandoned militar-
ism or mean to. 1t is the only instru-
ment of government with which they
are acquainted. No revolution, except
revolution in the character and
thinking of the people, could in few
months and probably not in years
turn militaristic traditions like those
Of Germany out of the channels that
have constituted the sole boundaries
Of German thought for generations
There has been no such revolution in
Germany.
The revolution in Germany consist
ed principally in the substitution of
men who were known as kaiser social
lists for the kais r himself Nor was
that revolution, narrow as it was, the
result of deep conviction in the Ger
man mind. 1t was the product of de-
feat in war. Had the military party
had the slightest chance to repair that
defeat there would have been no revo-
luton. The militarists, knowing they
could not win, simply threw down
their cards and retired, and another
party stepped in to close the game on
the best terms to De made. The jun
kers in jackboots never had any in
tention of staying out longer than cir
cumstances forced them to. When
the stopgap players should succeed
in getting things in shape again the
general staff meant to resume the
reins.
Nor does it seem that the militar-
lists have misjudged the people they
have to deal with. From all accounts
army domination meets no resistance.
Everybody seems to recognize the
military officer as the natural repre-
sentative of the government, and his
orders are obeyed as they were when
the kaiser's wardrobe contained two
hundred uniforms. The sight Of boots
and spurs is all German needs to
bring him to salute. He knows then
that he is in the presence of the gov
eminent.
1t is well enough to bear these facts
in mind when we hear that Germany
is going to be good in future and obey
the rules of the League of Nations.
Germany is going to obey nothing
that she has strength to defy, and the
German people are now hearing from
the general staff that the quickest and
surest way of defying the Allies and
evading the peace terms is for the
people and the government to give the
cards back into the hands Of the mill
tarists.
