BY SHERWOOD EDDY.

After visiting Japan and China and
spending six months in about fifty
centers of India, we returned via the
Suez canal and took long journey
overland through the near east, from
Cairo to Constantinople. This gave
me an opportunity of studying the sit
uation in Egypt, Palestine, Syria,
Mesopotamia and Turkey.
We stood again on the great pyr-
amid in Egypt and looked down on
the sphinx. and recalled the 5000
years of civilization which it had W.T.
messed. We crossed the sands of the
peninsula of Sina. over Field Marshal
Allenby's new railway line. and went
up by "the way of the Philistines'
through the hills of Judea to Jerusa
lem. There We're the gun pits and
camps that showed British advance
up to the summit of the Mount of
olives. marked by a thousand white
crosses over the graves of the British
soldiers who fell there. Gen. Allenby
has given more good government in
twelve months of British rule than
this country has had in twelve CEN
turtles since the blight of the Moslem
conquest.
We stood on the ancient dome of
the rock" the summit of Mount Mo-
riah, where Abraham worshiped and
David offered sacrifice and Solomon
built the temple. We went down to
Bethlehem and stood over the rock of
the nativity, marked by the silver star
bearing the words, Here of the Vir-
gin Mary Jesus Christ was born"

Pays Visit to Damascus.

From Jerusalem we had a wonder
full journey through Palestine and
Syria to Damascus. We went along
the seacoast through Judea around
Mount Carmel with it's memories of
Elijah and the prophets of Baal We
crossed Galilee by the little village of
Nazareth, past Mount Gilboa, with it's
memories of Saul and David, and
stopped at the Sea of Galilee. What
memories fingered about it's shores.
We went up through Syria and en-
tered the ancient city of Damascus
and even where Abraham entered the
promised land. We went through the
street called Straight and looked
out over the road where the Apostle
Paul entered the city blinded by his
vision.
From Aleppo we went down over
the Bagdad railway and crossed the
Euphrates into Mesopotamia We
visited ancient Carchemish and the
scene of the battle between Pharaoh
Necho and Nebuchadnezzar, 604 Be,
as recorded in Jeremiah. We tray-
eled over the Bagdad railway, with
its splendid stone railway stations:
its engines. cars and steel bridges, all
made in Germany. We passed the
wrecks of hundreds of German motor
transport and supply trucks. air.
planes, etc. We found most of nearer
Asia still held by Indian troops.

FIGHT OFFICIALS
 ARE SATISFACTORY
 ID ALL CONCERNED
Pecord to Referee, While Tex Rickard and Major Riddle Will Act as
 Judges

r. Toledo, O.. June 27.-Jess Wil-
 lard and Jack Kearns, manager ot
 Jack Dempsey, tonight expressed
 satisfaction over the selection of Ollie Pecord, official referee of r the Toledo boxing commission. to
 be the third man in the ring for
 the heavyweight championship
 contest here week from today.
 They also approved the selection
 of Tex Rickard, promoter of the 2 contest, and Major A. J.. Drexei-
 Biddle, president of the Army.
 Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing
 Control, to serve with Pecord as 4 judges.
 : Rickard announced that he would , hold a conference with Pecord, Riddle { and the two boxers probably next Monday for thorough discussion of the rules governing the contest. It was pointed out that in event of a knockout the judges would not have anything to do in making a decisioa But if one man should win on a foul or is disqualified for refusing to box or other infraction of the rules pe- cord will have to consult Rickard and Fiddle, if both men are their feet at the end of the 12 scheduled rounds, in the event the judges are unable to agree on the winner.
 With the contest just week away, the heavyweight rivals are finishing their training. Dempsey confined his workout to three rounds of boxing this afternoon and round of shadow box ing. He appeared to be slowing un under the instruction of Manager aKearns, who does not care to risk any chances of injury to the challenger. Dempsey, however, mixed sayagely and earnestly with the Jamaica Kid, sending him to the canvas with, left hook. The challenger boxed two rounds with the. negroes and one with Jock Malone.
 Sergeant Bill Tate who has been knocked out and otherwise severely punished by the challenger in his training romps, pleaded with Trainer DeForest today for a rest because Of the soreness around his ribs and mid- section from the punching Dempsey has given him.
 Willard boxed eight rounds before crowd numbering about $500 persons. The workout was frolic for the champion all the way. He did not ex- tend himself except for the two rounds he boxed with Walter Monahan The champion and his sparring mate were both bleeding from the mouth when they left the ring.

Lewis Acquitted
Of Manslaprgllter
In b. r. T. Wreck
Verdict Returned in Less
Than 5 Hours; Attorneys
Attack Each Other in
Final Stages of Trial

MlNEOLA, L. l., April 4.-Anthony
L. Lewis, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
dispatcher who was acting as motor
man of the train wrccxed in the NAL
bone Street tunnel on November /,
with loss of ninety-seyen lives, was
acquitted of manslaughter here at
1929 tonight.
The jury began its deliberations at
GAO p. m. At 11:26 the jury sent in
word to Justice Seeger that an agree
ment had been reached
Justice Seeger called the jury into
the courtroom Immediately and the
foreman said the verdict was "Not
guilty.
The final day of the trial was de-
voted chiefly to summing up by the at
torneys on both sides and the charge
to the jury by Supreme Court Justice
Seeger. The only witnesses examined
were two men who testified on behalf
Of Lewis.
A large part of the speeches of both
Judge Smith, representing Lewis, and
Assistant District Attorney Warbasse,
who conducted the prosecution, were
devoted to personal attacks on each
other. Judge Smith took occasion to
criticise the manner adopted by Mr.
Warbasse throughout the trial. The
latter. in reply, declared that he had
no apologies to make for any state
ments, and reiterated his belief that
the accused motorman had been acting
for the benefit of the jury when he
broke down and cried on the witness
stand
Justice Seeger took about an hour
and a half to charge the jury. The
question the jury had to decide, the
justice said, was whether Lewis, in
taking out the train as motorman, was
criminally liable or was the victim of
misfortune. Despite the fact that at
the beginning of the trial the prosecu-
tion had announced its intention of
passing over the point of Lewis's com
potency to handle the train Justice
Seeger charged that if Lewis took the
train out when he knew because Of
his experience that he was incompe-
tent to handle it, then the jury might
find he had created a dangerous condi-
ton.
assistant District Attorney War
basse, in summing up, insisted Lewis
had only two defences to offer. Either
he had to swear he was incompetent to
run the train or he had to claim there
was some fault in the machinery Mr.
Warbasse insisted that Lewis had done
