tn understand the state of learning
and the divisions of languages dur
ing the Middle Ages we must give
q moments attention to the Eastern
Empire, OF which we haven't spoken
since it's absolute separation from the
Western Roman Empire.
We have seen how almost all the
learning of the west was concentrated
In the clergy, and also how the trend of
the times was to concentrate within
the power of the church temporal as
well as spiritual power. In the east the
situation was different, for while the
eastern churchmen played a great part
in history. they didn't possess ali the
learning, nor did they ill temporal
offices as the clergy of the west did.
In the east. we must remember the
empire had gene on uninterruptedly.
There We're no lasting barbarian con-
quests, therefore learning had not died
out among the laity. While the Latin
language was now almost forgotten in
the east. Greek was the universal lam
guoso of the empire. and many OF the
laity wrote as well as spoke it, Even
the histories of the east we're written
by emperors or by iaymen. not by
churchnen.

The bear on exhibition at the Blue Ribbon Shoe Hospital has contracted the vicious disorder known as "cooties." according to a statement re- gently made by the owner of that
 animal. Now, this particular specie of the animal tribe and family known as Bruin is of purely greedy and so-
 cial instincts, being particularly fond
 of peanuts. This falling is probably
 the cause of his predicament, owing
 to the fact that it is popularly sup posed that MT. Rurin, Jr.. has in time
 past become too intimate with some well-meaning and generous soldier
 who had never been properly intro
 duced to the "delousin' station"
 The question that naturally arises in
 the mind of his owner who is very
 studious of his welfare, is how to get
 rid of them. Many remedies have
 powders have been sprinK1ed upon him
 until, at times, he looked lik a vel low ball and smelled like "aroma of skeeter- git" But the "cooties," to use an army term, often used on the front and the most welcome command under fire, simply dug in,' paying but lit tie attention to the yellow barrage.' MT Bruin is certainly in a pitiable condition and if he were human and another Edison, would undoubtedly in- vent the most modern machine for scratching all portions at once. As it is, all that the poor fellow can do is to scratch, seek sympathy, and beg peanuts. He has many sympathizers 1 among men who have seen service ! overseas.
 Feeling for the poor fellow, for Bruin indeed has many friends among these men, a committee has been recently

SCION OF CONFUCIUS
 IN CHINESE PARTY

Paris, July 5.-Kong Siang-K di- rect descendant in the seventy y-fiftf generation from Confucius, and presi- dent of the provincial council of shan tung province, is among the we'll known Chinese who have recently ar rived in Paris to urge a reconsidera- tion of the conference decision to turn Shantung province over to the Japan csc
 Mir. Kong speaks English and, like all the other members and attaches of the Chinese delegation, wears modern clothes.
 He is most eloquent in his plea for a restoration to China immediately of the historic province which Germany wrested away from it by force. China s sacred mountain, Tai-shan, and the home of Confucius make this province more sacred to Chinese than any other portion of the republic.
 We thought German imperialism had been driven out of China MT Kong said in a recent talk to news paper men, but it has only been sup planted by the imperialism of Japan which is even greater menace tc China"

COMMITTEE OF EX-SOLDIERS
 REPORT ON 'COOTIE REMOVING

appointed from among the ex-service men for the purpose of determining the most feasible and simplest means of ridding him of the pests. After having solemnly met in consultation upon the matter, the following report was made with regard to "cootie re- moving:
 Tn order to be permanently cured of the disease known as cooties' the following directions should be fol- lowed and closely adhered to:
 T. Boil all clothes for at least a period of 30 minutes.
 2 Take a good bath in a solution O. 10 per cent gasoline and 10 per cent turpentine
 "S- Refrain from association with persons who are liable to the disease"
 After having gravely considered each remedy in detail, the owner has arrived al the conclusion that they are utterly impracticable. The reasons are as follows:
 1. As Mir Burin has no clothing. it would be impossible to boil the cloth ing that he has without boiling the bear. He would undou ubtedly serious ly object to this.
 ?. This remedy would be more prac- ticable if it were not for the aver sion that all animals have to turpen- tine.
 3. This last proposition is utterly out of the question for the reason that Mir Bruin is most positively of a social nature and would strenuously object to any remedy which would deprive him of a means of obtaining peanuts
 As every means of ridding him of the pests that have been suggested up to this time are so utterly imprac- ticable, won't somebody, please. offer a solution to the problem?

BOLSHEVIKI FOSTERED AFGHANISTAN REVOLT

London July Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Britfsh government officials are convinced that the uprising in Afghanistan is being fostered by the Russian bolsheviki It is stated that the government has positive information that the Amir is in close touch with the bol sheviki in Turkestan and Moscow and that Russian emissaries have been sent to Afghanistan.
 It is believed here that the Amir is delaying answering armistice terms which he requested until he can further concentrate his forces, stir up more trou- ble among frontier tribes and get assist ance either in the form of propaganda or money from Russia
 Recent successes of the bolsheviki in transcaucasia are regarded with appre- hension and as likely to impress the Af- ghans.
 The bolshevik aspiration undoubtedly are twofold. Official opinion here is that they hope through this method to spread their doctrine among the people of the rear east, thereby widening their influ- ence and embarrassing the United King dom.

 ARTILLERY FIRE
Aviators and Infantrymen Are Fight ing With a Temperature Of
 Is Degrees Below Zero.

Archangel, Tuesday, Jan. 21. Bolshevik troops are heavily shelling the farthest south positions of the Padenga, on the Waga river, 30 American and Russian armies at Ust miles south of Shenkursk. They all so are showing considerable activity west of Shenkursk on the Tania river. It has been impossible to de- termine whether the attack will de- velop on a greater scale. The ene- my has mobilized the peasants in the vicinity of Vilsk and apparently is prepared for a general offensive in the Shenkursk sector Sunday, the enemy under cover of heavy bonn bardment, attacked with infantry the American and Russian positions at Ust Padenga The allied outpost withdrew, but the Bolshevik attack on the main positions was repulsed with heavy losses.
 There has been no infantry action since, though there has been con- stant rain of shells on the village. The American army is vigorously re- plying.
 Yesterday, flying in a temperature of Is degrees below zero, one Ameri- can airplane bombed the enemy and secured direct hits on important Bol- shevik positions.
 The fighting is going on in cold, clear weather, but the temperature is so low that it is difficult for the in fantrymen to remain in the open any length of time.
