Derry WaB then given to the cor
poration Of London, which tackled On
the prefix London. Three years later
the Irish society. to which London
derry and much Of the surrounding
country had been given, pledged itself
to enclose Derry within walls. and
these walls, wide enough for . coach
and four, are excellently preserved
today, perhaps to the inconvenience
OF the inhabitants, but certainly In
accordance with their sentiments and
wishes. Any one who expressed a
desire that they be taken down would
be treated as a traitor. Long ago
they grew too small to encompass all
the inhabitants OF the hustling port,
but they stand like a stif belt around
the waistline of the hill on which
the city is built The most incon-
venient thing about them Is that,
though they are more than a mile In
circumference, there are only seven
gates leading through them. Because
the walls defended the city In the
Siege begun by James II, a busy man
must make quite a jaunt out of his
way to find a passageway through
them. but, true to Irish sentiment,
he does 1t without murmur. On one
of the bastions Of the wall an old
gun, affectionately known as Roaring
Meg" points her nose over the city.
Here, too, on the hill In the center
of crowded old graveyard stands
the quaint, squat cathedral with its
queer pinnacled tower. 1t is called
after st. COLUMBIA, although 1t is nos
on the site of the old abbey built by
the saint fourteen centuries ago.
On high, inaccessible hill in the
distance. looms the stronghold Of the
lords of Tyrone. 1t is said that St
Patrick came to the fort to baptize
Owen, who first set himself up to rule
over the province Of Tyrone, and St.
COLUMBIA visited it before his exile.
Here, too. captive Danes who had
threatened the peace Of the city were
dragged In triumph.
Though every trace of the old cas-
tie has been obliterated, the massive
stone wall fourteen feet thick and
eighteen feet high. resembling the han
diwork of a cyclone, has stood out
grimly against the centuries A small
iron gate hangs across a two-foot door
way, the only entrance to Its huge
amphitheater-'ike interior, which re-
veals further devices designed for the
protection of the inmates.

CUNNING FOR PRoFITEERs
AN ANCIENT PRACTICE

Profteering In foods and high wage
demands by labor are far from being
ultra-modern problems.
Ancient Egypt fiogged Its prof1teers
in the market places and medieval
according to a communication by
Ralph A. Graves to the National Geo
graphic society. which says:
Following the devastation of the
Black Death in England in 134S-1349,
cultivation of the fields was utterly
impossible and there were not even
enough able-bodied laborers to gather
the crops which had matured. Cattle
roamed through the corn unmolested
and the harvest rotted where II stood.
"Out of the situation which resulted
from the impoverishment Of the labor
resources of the kingdom grew the
first great clash In England between
capital and labor. The peasants be-
came masters of the situation. In some
instances they demanded double wages,
and whereas formerly landowners had
paid one-twelfth of every quarter Of
wheat as the harvesting wage they
were now forced to pay one-eight.
"Parliament hurriedly passed dras-
tic laws in an effort to meet the new
condition. Statutes provided that
every man or woman, bond or free,
able In body and within the age of
threescore years. not having his own
whereof he may live. nor land of his
own about which he may occupy him
self and not serving any other, shall
be bound to serve the employer who
shall require him to do so, provided
that the lords of any bondSman or
land-servant shall be preferred before
others for his service; that such sery-
ants shall take only the wages which
were customarily given in 1347' (the
year prior to the first appearance Of
the plague).
1.-THE first ordinance In English his
tory, designed to curb the greed OF
the middleman, was passed nearly a
century earlier Tin 125S) when there
was bountiful harvest, but destruc-
tive rains caused the heavy crops to
rot In the fields.
But England did not originate food

MINSK: AN INCUBATOR OF
BOLSHEVISM

One Of the least interesting among
Russian cities in its physical aspects,
Minsk has an economic history that
helps in understanding how bolshevism
spread so readily among the Russian
people.
The Industrial history OF Minsk,
where the Poles and the bolsheviks
met to discuss peace terms, is espe-
cially significant In view OF present
conditions in Russia. It WAS one OF
the centers where ideas long germi-
mated which blossomed forth SO sud-
denly into bolshevism under the hot
house influences of war distress.
There, in the early nineties of the last
century, a group of dilettantes formed
a Working Mans union. later more
accurately termed the Union for
Struggle. PRONUNCIATION of literature.
smuggled into the country or printed
In secret. was major activity of this
group in Minsk. Few workingmen be-
longed to 1t.
In the course Of five years these
groups, working In Moscow, st. Pc
tersburg and Minsk. had accumulated
hummer OI IOnOWcFS, lew VI Whohi
agreed. They gave wide publicity to
the doctrines Of Marx. mixed indis-
criminately with every variety of rad
icalism, native and imported. With
such diversity of aims little was
accomplished. and 1t was with the
hope of formulating a definite pro-
gram that the Union for Struggle and
a committee of the Jewish bund held
their notable convention at Minsk In
1898. From that meeting arose the
Social Democratic Working Mems
party.
Minsk is built upon the Svislotck
river. nearly 500 miles southwest of
Moscow by rail. and has a population
Of 10000, fully half Of whom are
Jews. 1t was the capital of the old
Russian government of Minsk. which
included some of the least fertile and
least developed regions of the fallen
empire.
The annual fair. held In March, fur
nIshed the chief event in the towns
life. Its trade. mainly in corn. lum-
ber and leather. gained perceptibly
when 1t became the intersection point
of the railway from Moscow to War
saw and that from Libau TO Kharkcv.
Formerly II maintained a municipal
pawnshop.

LONDONDERRY: "MAIDEN
CITY OF IRELAND"

Derry, or Londonderry, In Ulster,
known In song and legend as the
Maiden City of Ireland" has the
charm Of the CHEEKY. busy town and is
truly characterized by the stirring
marching song which these Irish sing
on their days Of celebration:
where Foyie his swelling waters
rolls northward to the main,
Here, Queen of Erin's daughters, fair
Derry fixed her reign;
A holy temple crowned her. and com
merce graced herr street;
A rampant wall was round her, the
river at her feet"
These four lines briefly tell Lon
donderry's story. Along the two-mile
quays Of the river Irishmen jolly each
other as they load and unload the for
sign, colonial and coasting trade of
tho docking vessels. For the Foyle
is wide and deep. and large tonnage
ships flying the flags of France, Aus
tralia. Brazil. the United States, and
India bring their wares to her port.
Busy looms in the city make linen.
and then laughing. twinkly-eyed Irish
girls make the linen into shirts before
It leaves Londonderry. The salmon
fishery on the Foyle is important and
the town has timber mills. grain mills,
and shipyards.
But Derry has for the traveller a
charm greater than its hustle and up
-and-doing atmosphere-the story of
past replete with romance. devotion
to principle. and the exhibition of
indomitable spirit. COLUMBIA. the
greatest of the Irish saints after Pat
rick and Brigid. in 546 looked on the
oak-clad hills and coveted them. Here
he founded his abbey, known as Daire-
Columbkille, or Columba's Oak Grove,
within the shadow of the great fort
on neighboring hill. the stronghold
of the lord of Tyrone, in order that
his sanctuary might have the protec-
ton of the fort. But In vain did he
reckon his chances against the Danes
and Saxons who. time and again,
pushed their boats against his shores.
Despite their plundering and burnings,
the settlement, Of which he had made
the nucleus, grew and maintained its
independence until 1909.

WILL ALAND ISLANDS BE-
COME A BALTIC FIUME?

Caught in the swirl Of the minor
nurries that disturb Europe are the
remote Aland islands. where Swedes
and Firms ciashed in a manner sug-
gestive of the dispute between Jugo-
Slavs and the Italians along the Adri-
attic, according to newspaper dis
patches.
For more than 200 years the Aland
islands. which are situated like a cork
in the wide mouth of the Gulf of
Bothnia, have been a sort of Alsace-
Lorraine question between the Swedes
and the Russians. After having passed
back and forth several times, they
were finally ceded to Russia In 1909.
During the reign of Nicholas they
were strongly fortified, a move most
distasteful to Sweden, because the
islands occupy a strong strategic posi-
don with respect to Stockholm, the
Swedish capital, which is less than
100 miles to the southwest from Bo-
marsund, the chief fortifcation of the
islands.
These Notifications were short
lived. In 1854, during the Crimean
Charles Napier and paraguay d'Hil-
Tiers, destroyed the works. and after
that time the islands were left un-
Fortified, in accordance with an inter-
national agreement.
The Aland group, which is separated
from the Swedish mainland by Aland
bay (Aland Haaf) and from the Finn
tsh mainland by Skiftet sound, is
composed of some 300 islands and
rocky fslets, the total area of which
is not more than $50 square miles.
The largest island, Aland, a name Sig
nifying ''land of streams" is almost as
large as all the others combined, hav-
ing an area of PAT square miles. about
twice the size of Martha's Vineyard
Cattle raising and fishing are the
chief occupations of the 25,OO0 people
who live on the islands. Some cereals
(barley and oats) are grown on the
thin soil, and there are few forests
OF birch, spruce and fir.
Finnish troops recently were re-
ported marching through the streets
OF Mariehamm- This attractive little
bathing resort is the chief, town of
the islands. having a population of
1,40O. In times Of peace daily
steamer service is maintained between
this port and Abo. the oldest and
historically the most interesting city
In Finland. The voyage from Abo to
Mariehamm takes about 10 hours.
1t was in the water adjacent to the
Aland islands that Peter the Greats
navy won its first important victory,
defeating the Swedes in 1717.
Only about 80 of the 300 islands are
inhabited. and the fisherfolk. in the
main, are of Swedish descent.
Sweden's desire to hold the islands
arises In part from the fact that they
control the entrance to the Gulf of
Bothnia, through which most of that
kingdoms internal trade is carried on.

LDLETTERS REVEAL LOST
CHAPTER IN WORLD
HISTORY

Lava preserved the secrets of Ro-
man civilization In Pompeii; tombs
protected the records of ancient
Egypt's culture; and now there is pros
pect that some long neglected letters
may reveal one Of the most fascinat-
ing chapters In the historic trail of the
Jewish people, and incidentally show
that Africa loomed larger in the mid
die ages than modern historians have
realized.
Hitherto Africa has figured not at
all in medieval history. It still was
"dark continent" when Stanley and
Livingstone penetrated 1t less than a
century ago. Yet, In view Of a remark
able documentary discovery made by
Charles de la Ronciere. librarian Of
the national library in France, 1t
would seem Jews Of the fifteenth Gen.
tury had trading posts In northwest
Africa, and carried on vast COM
merce with the natives from the Sa-
hara to the Atlantic and from Algeria
to the Niger.
Antonia Malfante, a Genoese citizen.
traversed this region and wrote his
descriptive letters. in 1447, from Tim
buktu and Touat. Timbuktu was the
Chicago of the west African plains |;
and Touat the center of the camel
caravan traffic that exchanged the
wheat and barley of Egypt for the
powdered gold Of Timbuktu and the
precious salt from Teghazza.
All the places visited by Malfante
were so well known to the Jews Of
his time that they were listed in a
of a century earlier for Charles ".
according to M. Ronciere. But short
ly after Malfante's visit the Jews were
driven out of Spain. and since the
Jews were the only ones In Europe
who knew of the Nigeria country and
apparently permitted no Christian to
enter there except Malfante the Jew
ish knowledge was lost in Europe. Not
until DIR. Gerhard Rohlfs began his
explorations in Algeria and Morocco
In 1860 did the rest of the world again
form contact with the extensive re-
gions of Malfante's travels.
Landing at point west of Algiers,
Malfante worked his way south to
Touat. which Rohlfs believed himself
TO have been the first European to WIS.,
It. Yet Malfante dated his first letter
from there four centuries earlier.
Touat was an oasis. containing from
$50 to 200 villages, which together
formed a vast commercial center.
Each had chief. Travellers became
the guests Of these chiefs and NAL
fante reported their protection su-
perior to that In states like Tlemcen
and Tunis. One of these towns was
Tametit, now decayed village. whose
people still recall the Jewish epoch.
Arabian invaders earlier had routed
the Jews, who were masters of the
Sahara and whose empire extended
south to the Niger. Tametit, Malfante
wrote, sheltered both Jews and Mo
hammedans. who lived In harmony.
The native negroes valued copper
highly, Malfante stated, and used It
for money. Proflteering. apparently,
is not modern vice. Malfante COM
planned, 1.-THE people here do not want

at that. Half a million head Of cattle.

to market in the caravan season.
