South and Central American sem
timent about the League of Nations
may be classified into four groups of
opinion. The first processes to see
in the league an instrument capable
of being used to put an end to the
system of competitive bidding for con-
cessions, trade and privileges between
groups of financiers in each of the
powers by which South and Central
Americans have endeavored to get the
best terms possible. as well as
means OF united action to force the
payment Of obligations and to secure
the rights of alien residents. some Of
which have escaped enforcement be-
cause of the mutual jealousy of the
powers hitherto. This group is there

given a result exact and in accord
with the Zodiac of Denderak will, if
applied to the great pyramid, give a
date much more recent than that
given by Egyptologists. The pyra-
mid's own record makes the date
2170 B. c., instead of the heretofore
accepted date, 1000 years before the
Christian era.
All that the world has regarded as
recent triumphs of astronomy was ia
iniliarly known to the men who drew
the plan for the great pyramid and
recorded the suns distance from the
earth, the length of the sidereal year,
The length of the earth's daily run in
its orbit, the density of the terrestrial
globe and the precision of the equi-
noxes as calculated from the pole star
of the epoch in the immutable linen

Washington Told Second Continental Congress of
 Great Task Ahead.

And of What Did Washington In form Congress And where did Congress meet on this date, August IS, 1775? In Independence Hall, Philadelphia, the greatest historical in the possession of Columbia. In one of the halls of the stately old buildings, with his hand resting on the quaint oaken table, whereon, one year from this date, 1775, the Immortal Declaration of Independence was to be signed, George Washington - General Wash ington of the struggling Ameri- can army-spoke to the Second Con- tinental Congress It was only four months after the battle of Lexington The thrill of the greatest movement that ever took place for humanity since the Birth of Christ, crinkled the veins of men. The Thirteen Col onies had arisen as one around one man: George Washington. Bunker Hill had been fought. Amidst the excitement the Second Continental Congress met in old Independence Hall. The First Continental Congress had met on September 5, 1774. It had been composed of delegates from 12 colonies, Georgia alone not beiG~ represented. Among the distinguis--
  Adams, John Jay of New York, John Dickenson of Philadelphia, Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, and George Washington of Virginia. Every one of the Thirteen Colonies was rep resented in the Second Continental Congress, and this eager band of de- voted men became the center of or ganization for the war. Did all the years of desperate struggle before the shout of victory rang through the world, loom before that set, deter mined face, known to us so well in the great portraits? Did George Washington forsee those years as he rose to speak to the Second Conti- metal Congress on August 13, 1775? Could he forsee a Treaty of Peace to be signed at Paris on September 3rd, 17SS? Listen to the bravest words from the calmest face that ever looked into the abyss of history:
 The whole stock of powder in New England amounts to no more than nine thousand, nine hundred and twety-seven pounds, about nine rounds to a man. This information has been communicated to the Brit ish by a deserter and the British do not believe 1t possible that the Amer jeans possess such consummate assur- ance as to continue to invest them in Boston, while so destitute of ammuni- ton
 And the last words were unborn by one united roar. It was as if Wash ington had thrown down the gauntlet saying: Are you prepared for what seems an absolutely unequal con test? Will you face. with assurance, the outcome of such a clinch?
