ORIGIN OF D0OR-KNoCKERS
Ample Proof That They Antedats
Western Civilization by Many
Hundreds Of Years.

The origin of door-knockers Is al.
most lost in obscurity. and their devel-
opment from mere articles of utility to
objects of art has been long, slow
process of evolution, covering centu-
ries and antedating western civiliza-
ton by many hundreds of years.
The first general use of knockers
that is positively known was among
the ancient Greeks, who probably
adopted them from the Egyptians. We
are told that the Greeks considered
1t breach of good manners to enter
house without warning the inmates,
and that the Spartans gave this notice
by shouting their arrival while the
Athenians announced themselves by
using the knocker. It's introduction
doubtless came at the time when doors
superseded hangings, for the purpose
OF insuring greater safety or privacy.
In the Greek houses of the better
class porter was in constant attend
ance at the door to admit visitors.
Slaves were usually employed In this
capacity, and were chained to the door
posts to prevent their wandering and
Sinking the monotony of the duty,
and in order to awaken them a short
bar of iron was fastened to the door
by chain, to be used as a rapper by
those desiring entrance to the house.
1t is said that this strictly utihtari.
an rapper, as 1t was first called, was
often wrenched from the door to be
used as weapon of offense by visitors
who were not friendly disposed toward
the householder. A later development
was direct consequence of this mis-
use, the next type being In the form
of heavy ring fastened by a strong
clamp or plate to the door, thus serv-
ing the double purpose of knocker and
handle.
From Greece the custom was trans.
ferred to the Romans, and with the
western trend of early civilization TO
nearly every country of Europe. The
Introduction Of knockers to England
where together with Italy and Ger
many they have attained the greatest
artistic development, was no doubt due
to the Roman conquest of western Eu
rope and Britain.-Architectur

The peace treaty will virtually. be
rewritten to embody the changes de-
cided- upon in the Allied reply to the
German counter proposals. which now
is being framed for early delivery.

Qualifications which. the Allies have
framed in replying to the counter
document of it. 1t is expected that
Its publication will be authorized the
day it is delivered to the Germans or
the day following.
The work of drafting the Allied
reply is going forward in Paris today.
The task has been complicated by a
British proposal to reopen the repara-
tons section, which, however, seems
likely to be rejected. The situation,
nevertheless, points to a delay in the
delivery, possible taking it over until
Monday.
: While there seems to be a quite
general belief that the Germans will
accept the treaty terms, new dis
patches from Paris reflect a certain
amount of doubt whether the German
delegates or the present German gov
French official circles are said to OK
pect the immediate establishment Of a
radical socialist administration which
1t is said, may sign the treaty. but
oven in that event it has been sug-
gested the Allies might not accept the
signature of the radicals.

Activity Of Small Advance
Force Believed to Have
Caused Excitement.

Ell Paso, Texas, June 13.-A per-
sonal inspection of the territory east
Of Juarez and as far as Guadalupe, in
which town a large force OF Villistas
under Felipe Angeles was reported
several days ago was made by a rep
resentative of The Associated Press
yesterday and last night.
No considerable force, according to
the Inhabitants Of Guadalupe, has
been anywhere near that town.
A party Of four men from Villas
headquarters, said to be at Villa
Ahuamena visited Guadalupe Tues
day. They reported that Villa. Felipe
Angeles and Martin Lopez were at
Villa Ahuamada with eight hundred
me and that more were coming in
there constantly. They said that there
!, were attachments at Samalayuca' and
TERRA Blanca and at other points
that city.
A conservative study of the situa-
ton leads to the conclusion that the
near panic in Juarez has been caused
by small and active advance parties
which are moving rapidly about that
city and that no attack in force is,
contemplated at present II at all.
