London, July 2s.--Discoveries in
Scotland of great historic value have
recently been added to the Queen
Street museum.
AS the traveller to Edinburg by
the North British railway approaches
Dunbar he describes on his right, far
out 10 sea. the Isle Of May: on his
left, in front. a green hill. q north
ern CUTLER Of the Lammermuirs, cuts
the skyline. This is Traprain Law,
on the Whittingehame estate Of Mr..
A. j. Balfour, and here. within the
precincts of an ancient fortified site,
remains have just come to light which
DR.. George Macdonald describes as
"one of h most remarkable archaeo-
logical discoveries ever made in north
ern Europe"
Excavations were commenced on
this site ome 1--WE years ago by A. o.
Curle, keeper of the Queen Street
museum. Edinburgh, brother Of James
Curle. the excavator OF the now IA
nous Roman fort at Newstead. The
fortified area, which covers some sixty
acres. gives evidence OF occupation
at intervals during the first four cen
turtles of our era. and about a fort
night ago the explorers suddenly
struck a small pit which was filed to
tIe DFlm WIFI a nOdTQ Oh battered
silver vessels. the find being at once
dated to the late fourth century by
the occurrence of coins Of the En-
perors Valens and Gratian.
Much time and labor must neces-
sarfly be devoted TO this precious
treasure-trove before it has yielded
all its secrets. Meanwhile it's history
is c%onjeetured to be somewhat as
follows.
The site at Traprain Law had given
evidence OF having been at hrst per-
haps a Celtic settlement under Ro-
man rule. 1t now appears h it's
latest inhabitants were Saxon pi-
rates. The treasure j.st discovered
seems to have been brought by these
freebooters as loot from some rich
Christian church in northern France
and buried here for safety. The fact
that the silver vessels are crushed
and battered would seem to imply
that they were regarded as mere
booty and intended for the melting
pot.
The vessels themselves include
fiagons. chalices. platters. bowls
spoons n so on. They bear Chris
tian cymbols, such as Chi-Rho. Alpha.
Omega and Iesvs Christvs, and the
Genes portrayed in relief are mainly
Prymiacoeisia pi, which has not so far
from Bible history.
One richly decorated f1sk, the gem
OF the collection. Is an embossed cup
bearing punctured inscription.

100000 WORnAGnfN
TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY
Who win Fill Gaps In Labor's De-
plcted Ranks?

Ono million three hundred thousand
aliens will leave this ountry shortly
Inc return to their own countries.
The above figures may sound exag-
Eerated, but they are, as a matter of
fact, very conservative. They were
compiled by Ethelbert Stewart, direc-
tor of the Inspection and Investiga-
ton service of the department OF
labor, after a nationwide inquiry was
completed by the federal bureau.
The returning element is composed
mostly of the Eastern European i'm
migrants, an element which has for
years past furnished the bulk of our
unskilled workers-Poles, Hungarians,
Russians, Croatians. Lithuanians,
Roumanians. Greeks, Serbs, Slovaks.
etc.
1t can easily be seen that their de-
parture will Immediately create a
shortage Of labor, against which Colo
mel Arthur Woods. assistant to the
secretary of war, has repeatedly
warned the employer. The report OF
the department of labor points un-
mistakably in the same direction.
The wise employer will take a hint,
call up the war department and ask
that one or more ey-service men be
sen to him directly after they receive
their discharge papers.
A million three hundred thousand
men will leave a gap difficult TO fill.
The little surplus of labor now exist
ing will soon be like the ~proverbial
drop in the bucket, although the drop
may loom up pretty big just now.

WOODS IN SERBIA TODAY

Monastir, July (By Mail)-"Dozens
OF children have been found in aban-
doned houses. living like babies-in-
the-woods, on the charity of their
neighbours: mothers are ready to give
up their children to anyone who will
give them food and shelter"
These lines. quoted from a report
sent In by an American Red Cross
unit operating near Pirot, tell why
those in charge of relief activities in
this country are taking steps for the
establishment and maintenance OF or
phanages in various parts Of Serbia.
In the Prot district. the numbers Of
children bereft Of homes and parents
are enormous. There are thousands
of boys and girls in that locality with
out a single relative or friend TO
whom they may look for food and
shelter
Facilities and available supplies are
being utilized on a o~ne-hundred per
cent efficiency basis by the relief
workers In these areas to give the
homeless. parentless youngsters a
measure OF comfort, Places are
rapidly being provided where they
may be sheltered from the elements
and a limited of food, which
1t is hoped may be increased in guam
tity soon, is being distributed to them
daily under the arrangements made by
the American Relief administration.
Serbian govern ment officials have
indicated to relief workers their in
tention Of perpetuating the orphan
ages which the American missions are
now getting into operation.

AImanach De Gotha.

We pity the colleague who at pres
ent has to edit the Almanach de Gotha,
the directory Of all courts. The next
edition. which. by the way, had almost
been ready for the printer when the
great tumbling of thrones happened
and therefore will have to be radically
revised and will look very different. We
cannot imagine that the good people
who used to place the bible of arls-
tocracy and the court directory on the
most conspicuous shelf Of their book
case will ever again have the desire to
inquire 'who is who2'
No fewer than 27S names belonging
to former reigning princes will be
missed. And those are of the ruling
families of Germany exclusively; not
to mention the Turks. the Greeks, the
Bulgarians, etc. The new almanach,
which no longer will have to speak in
cringing humility of the Hohenzollern,
the Wittelsbachs of Bavaria, the Zach
ringers of Baden. the Coburgs and the
Schaumberg-Lippes is a list of war
gains. OF course, 1t does not compen-
safe entirely for all the sacrifices
which hundreds of thousands of better
men had to suffer before these 278
highnesses Of divine right were per-
mitted to become ordinary mortals,
but 1t is. nevertheless, one fruit Of our
victory. And the house-cleaning still
goes on.-German Democracy Bulle-

South Bethlehem. Pa. probably had
one of the most active organizations
of the woman's land army In the entire
United States during the summer just
ended. Farmers In that locality In
many Instances reaped the largest
crops In history. and they praise the
conscientious and efficient work Of the
girls and young women who assisted
them as among the best help they ever
had.
Pitching hay Is really a mans Job,
but the girls on the farms near Beth
lehem were ready to try any kind of
farm work. and made fine record In
harvesting the hay crop. The work
for which they showed themselves
best adapted. however. was horticul-
tural. They were invaluable In the
truck gardens. wedding onion patches,
picking berries, punching asparagus
and doing the various other odd Jobs
that must be done to keep gardens
productive and neat.
Saturday night meant a time of rest
for the girls and they celebrated with
sings" ordinarily. They also gave oc-
casional vaudeville and minstrel shows
and dinner parties. Many of them are
college girls and have gone back to
school. but others are engaging in 9TH
er forms Of work during the fall and
winter season.

GATHERING OF CROP DATA
Information Showing How Thorough
10 the Work Of the Department
Of Agriculture.

An outline Of the organization de-
veioped In the department of agricul-
ture through more than half century
OF experience In crop estimating, intii-
eating the care and thoroughness with
which government crop reports are
prepared. Is given In the annual re-
port of the secretary of agriculture.
For collecting original data the bu-
reau Of crop estimates has two main
sources of formation-voluntary re-
porters and salaried held agents. The
voluntary force comprises 33,74S town.
snip reporters, one for each agricul-
tural township; 1852 county reporters,
who report monthly or oftener on
countrywide conditions, basing their
estimates on personal observation, in
quiry and written reports of aids, of
whom there are about $500; 10 special
lists of co-operators. aggregaling l37,-
OOO names. who report on particular
products, such as live stock. cotton.
wool, rice. tobacco. potatoes. apples,
peanuts. beans and the like; and 90
100 field aids. including the best in
formed men in each state. who report
directly to the salaried field agents Of
the bureau. The total voluntary staff,
therefore, numbers approximately 200.-
200. an average Of about 66 for each
county and 4 for each township. The
reporters. as rule. are farmers. They
serve without compensation. aud are
selected and retained on the lists be-
cause of their knowledge of local con-
'iitions. their public spirit. and their
interest in the work. All except coun-
~ and field aids report directly to the
bureau. and each class of reports Is
tabulated and averaged separately for
each group and state.
