GLORY DESTROYED BY TIME
OF the ones Mighty Cities Of Babylon
and Nlneveh Hardly a Wee.
tlGe Remains.

When the ancient kingdom of the
Assyrians fell through effeminacy and
negligence 300 years after the Trojan
war, many petty states arose out Of
ITS ruins, two or which raised them
selves to a high degree of power. The
kings of Media subdued the mountain
land of Persia, and established rela-
tlons Of amity with hordes that
wandered on the eastern side OF the
Caspian sea they conquered also a
portion of the empire which had CEN
tered in Nineveh. At the same time
the king Of Babel, or Babylon, -four
ished with still greater magnlfcence
and power.
In Babylon, ancient seat OF learning
and science. NabOpolassar, after a.
long period Of anarchy and division,
erected a most powerful monarchy,
whose sceptre Nebuchadnezzar, his
son, extended from the Caucasus
mountains, where he defeated the
Iberlans, to the sandy deserts Of Lydia.
He burnt Jerusalem; defeated Ammon,
Moab and Edom; conquered Tyre, the
richest city of the Phoenicians; laid
waste Egypt, and formed his empire
on new boundaries. He adorned Baby
Ion, the city Of his residence, with the
noblest works Of architecture. but OF
this city the ruins are scarcely dis
cernible. II is still more difficult TO
trace the Vestiges Of NIneveh, which
lie three days journey from It, and
whose ruins have sunk In the marshy
soil.

Interested in maintaining world
peace and in promoting the happi-

that ShOuld there be any obstacle in
the way OF a perfect understanding
between America and Japan that

matter in controversy in a manner
which would permit the two nations
10 continue TO enjoy their historic
friendship. He predicted that the
conference would result in a con-

mankind.
Then he referred TO the revolu-
tionary change in the life Of Japan
which had taken place in 60 years
and to the changing process that
was still going on. Japan, he de-
clared, is still in transition

Il have noted what Baron Shi-
busawa has said about the change
in Japan since feudal days. He has
called our attention 10 tie fact that
we no longer find men here wearing
tcp-krots on their head. nor two
swords at their side. I wonder If,
in a sense, you who visit America
do not find US wearing top-knots on
cur head and two swords at our
side in a manner that makes you
think that spiritually we are in some
way backward. Some OF our coun-
trymen wear top-knots on their
heads in the form of national con-
ceit and at their sides they wear two
swords-one a sword of misunder-
standing, and the other a sword OF
prejudice. do not mean to say
that we are all accoutered in that
way. Many OF us have grown to
have a wider vision, to be more in
terRationally minded and 10 have a
sympathetic attitude toward the
peoples of other countries and other
races. But in some quarters there Is
still left something of prejudice, and
a good deal left Of Ignorance
of world affairs I hope 10 see
from this mental feudalism, TO see
America become a nation OF world
wide understanding and sympathy,
discarding prejudice. and reaching
an understanding of the problems
that other peoples have to face. Not
until we do that as a nation can we
hope truly TO become the practical
leader in world affairs That some
people think. because of our size
and wealth, we should become.

of matter, for the greatest part not
bigger than a pea, which come into
contact with the earths atmosphere.
Whatever their origin may have
been, they had been passing through
space, following the all-compelling
law Of gravitauon, just as any larger
body would do. Moving with great
speed. because of the absence OF the
retarding force of friction out in
empty space, they suddenly fall into
the dense atmosphere Of the earth,
and the heat generated by this sud

causes the destruction OF the me-
