Mosul's Many Storks.

In modern times as protection
against the Shammar Arabs. Every
one remarks on the narrow streets of
Mosul, on its white, crumbling houses,
on the gypsum dust which falls con-

storks of Mosul are apparently its
most remarkable feature.
Discussing the matter one authority
tells how, in the cool of the evening,
the citizens of MOsul share their
housetops with innumerable storks,
who build their ragged nests on the
highest places ''in utter disregard of
the laws of gravity" Four great, pre-

HI most important lea'ure
y about MOsul, which is begin
ming to show the beneficial eff
fects of British control. is its
geographical situation. MoSul is the
meeting point of roads and caravan
routes from everywhere. They wind
in through the mountain passes ard
over the rocky highland from Diar-
bekr and Bitlis, across the great des-
ert from AleppO and over the sands
from Persia and Bagdad. Its very
name, indeed, from the Arabic AL
MOusil, ''the place of connection" tells
its story. And as with roads and car
AVIAN routes, so it will be, some time
again in the future in the matter of
railways, when the famous Bagdad
line is completed, says the Christian
Science Monitor. At present Ger
many's great effort falls short of Mo
sui by many miles in the west and
in the south, and the ''ramshackle
city," as it has been irreverently
called, still depends for its communi-
cations on the road and the caravan
route as it has done through the ages.
OF all the cities in the Turkish en-
pire, as one writer has well said of 1t,
perhaps Mosul is the one that has
been least touched by western civili-
zation. Built on ground that once was
suburb of Nineveh, it stands on the
western bank of the Tigris, looking
across at the mounds which are all
that remain Of the glories of the CAPT.
tai of ancient Assyria. Nineveh has
history that stretches throughout a
period nearly two thousand years
long, ending with the fall of the en-
pire of Sennacherib about the year
600 b. c. From that time until Lay
ard unveiled the palaces of Ashur-
banipal and Sennacherib, and un-
earthed the literary chamber contain
ing the famous deluge tablet the ru-
ins of Nineveh for $500 long years
have slept undisturbed. AS for Mosul
itself, it is particularly mentioned in
all history since the Arab conquest
and ii is q checkered history indeed
for 1t suffered pillage at the hands of
Tamerlane, was besieged by Nadir
Shah, and endured host of other vi
cissitudes.

Columbia, April 14.-The following
statement was issued this morning by
edwin w. Robertson, chairman OF
the war loan organization Of the Fifth
Federal Reserve Districts:
II believe the secretary Of the
treasury has reached wise and far
reaching solution Of the responsible
ty resting upon him and has given
the people OF our country glorious
opportunity, in addition to merely
paying the honest debts OF the nation,
to make Of themselves a real inte-
gral part OF their country and to
control by direct ownership Of it's
bonds the future welfare Of our ma
ton and our people! 1t being the
last Of our war bonds to be issued I
regard the making Of it close loan,
in excess Of which, practically no
subscription will be accepted, will in
sure their market value with tho
probability Of their going to prem
ium, and will also add greatly to tho
stabiliZing the value Of the Liberty
bonds now outstanding which
fully believe will respond TO the mar
ket value Of the bonds Of the Victory
loan and shortly reach much high
cr level Of price. The debt of our
country is now fixed and no more
war bonds are to be issued. This
fact alone should make us hold tight
to the bonds we now own and add to
our holdings. Buy bonds Of the VIC
tory loan with the utmost good cheer
and with every ontidencc that the
future will sustain our judgment that
they will maintain their full par
value, wit hcvcry likelihood uf COM
manding premium before the year
Is out. While we have the oppor-
tunity let us provide ourselves with
real sure and safe reserve asset to
protect us in old age or to meet any
emergency which may arise in our
lives may make ID necessary to quick
ly acquire actual cash funds in the
meantime at all times receiving just
rate Of interets in our money. | feel
every confidence that the Victory
bonds will be largely bought by the
people from all sections of our land,
a large oversubscription in fact, and
| unhesitatingly urge the people of
the fifth federal reserve district to
secure their full allotment"

CHOICE OF GENEVA
AR0USES FRENCH

Join with Belgium In Bitter Criticism.
Wilson Turns Tide. Presidents
Speech Causes Rejection of Brus-
sells and Americans are now Shun-
ned.
Paris, April 11.-Bitter criticism has
been aroused in French and Belgian
quarters over the choosing Of Geneva
as the capital of the league Of ma
tions. The fact that President Will
sons speech in behalf of Geneva was
wholly responsible for the choosing
OF the Swiss city as against Brussels
is greatly resented
You will not dare to choose city
as the capital Of the league of ma
tons which incarnatcs the cnmity be-
tween races, city which has been
wronged, doubtless, but which makes
a reconciliation between the peoples
OF Europe more distant by the very
wrongs it has suffered" president
Wilson is reported to have said to the
delegates, in arguing against the Sc
lection Of Brussels.
Paul Hymens, Belgian minister of
foreign affairs, particularly resented
the fact that the subcommittee delib-
Grating upon the choice Of the seat
OF the league never discussed the offer
made by Gurgomaster Max Of Brus-
sells, Of the Egmont Palace.
Had London, Paris, Rome, or
Washington been considered" said NJ
Hymens, I'VE would have withdrawn
with good grace. But when a city
was decided on, we feel that it is Bel
GUMS right from material and SEN
timcntal point Of view that Brussels
should have been chosen.
Had Zurich fought off the German
hordes for IA days, had Berne been
occupied August 20, 1914, had Geneva
withstood the terrific bombardment to
which Antwerp was subjected, had the
Swiss army batted for four years
along the Rhine as the Belglans
fought and died along the User, then
we would understand why Geneva was
selected"
France was the only one Of the
great powers to vote for Brussels for
the seat Of the league. Signor Orlan-
do, the Italian premier, who spoke
for only two minutes. said he was
bound by the decision of the subcom-
mittcc.
When the vote was called for Great
Britain, the United States, Japan and
Italy with two votes each and Serbia,
Greece, Brazil and Poland each with
one vote chose Geneva, a total OF II
votes. France with two votes and
China, CzcchOSlovakia. Portugal and
Belgium made up the minority OF six
votes. Thus Geneva became the cap
ital Of the league OF nations.
The feeling OF bitterness against
Americans which previously had been
indicated became more pronounced to-
day along the boulcvards and in the
chamber OF deputies. Frenchmcn,
