AIR PHOTOGRAPHY FINDS
SITES OF BURIED CITIES
LONG SOUGHT IN ASIA

Bournemouth. England, Sept l0.-A
scientific history of the war is expect
ed to be one of the developments of
the annual meeting OF the British As.
sociation for the Advancement ) OF Sci.
ence here this week Among the lee
turers will be generals, poets. and a
good many women, which brings the
prophecy that it will be the most pop
ular as well as the most scientific meet
ing the association ever has held.
Engineers, chemists, physicists, &c.
ographers and even such unexpected
persons as archaeologists are to detail
for the first time what wonders British
forces wrought in France and the East.
How they caught up with the German
and passed him in optics, photography,
telegraphy and the chemistry of explo-
sives and how they are turning their
discoveries and inventions into agencies
for peaceful reconstruction will form the
principal part of the weeks revelations.
one curious result of the excellence of
air photography, concerning which
there will be many papers, is that it
has discovered the sites of lost Asiatic
cities for which archaeologists have
been digging vainly these many years.
The slight difference Of color over q
buried wall can make the outline of a
town absolutely distinct from the air,
though quite invisible from the ground.

General Pershing is getting the glad hand
of his fellow-citiZens as he should. The gen.
era has done we'll in France. He is quick to
give the real credit where it belongs, to the
American doughboy; but as commander Of the
eXpedtionary forces that gave the finishing
touches to Hun defeat General Pershing de-
serves high praise. 1t was no small job to
handle the magnificent army which this coun-
try sent abroad. 1t was the greatest army
America ever organized. and it did the great
est work any army Of ours ever undertook. The
federal army in the sixties of the nineteenth
century saved the nation and American de-
mocracy The eXpeditonary forces in France
saved all the nations and extended American
democracy through a large part of Europe.
General Pershing has won his statue and his
niche in the splendid halls of history.

Cardinal MERCER, Belgiums heroic church
man, is visitor whom America will delight to
honor. The story of his good deeds while his
country was under the heel of the Hun despot
is a shining record to the ages. Cardinal Mer-
cier is one of those men who are the salt of the
earth, the sweetness and light of the universe.
Pretty soon we are to have crown prince with

them will measure up to Cardinal Mercer in
the spiritual dimension. The cardinal is an
emperor in the realm of heroism.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Germans
through their 4ofgaisnation in this coun-
try attempted to establish military es-

representative in every brigade. division
or larger unit OF the American army.
They succeeded to a considerable extent.
and but for the efficiency OF the secret

their operations would have been much
more effective.
This information was given to the Sem

by Brig. Gen. Marlborough Churchill.
head of the military intelligence divi-
sion. He said Mr.. Bielaski's work in
running down German agents all over
the country was so effective that the
German plans were thwarted.
Notwithstanding the large scale and
heavy expenditures that characterized
the German operations in this country,
Gen. Churchill declared the actual dam
age done TO American ships, ports, in
dustrial plants and the like was really
remarkably sman. Some OF the German
spies attached to the army were inter-

the military intelligence service depends
