Higher English Discount

Market Uncertainty

LONDON, April 15.-The increase
in the minimum rate discount from
six to seven per cent today by the
bank of England has removed the
uncertainty which has been hanging
over the market. 1t was consider
ed bound to come in view of the in
flated credit position and the cor
tinental financial situation, especial

Ting of exchange regarding the Unit
ed States is not expected until large
bills fall due in the autumn for the

One reason for the present move
rs to bring the rates in line with
other centers. The Belgian and other
bank rates have recently advanced.
The action of the Bank of England
yesterday in raising the rate of in
terest on treasury bills to IL per
cent is to attract funds from banks
to the Bank of England on the gov
eminent account against maturing

LAND OF RACIAL TEMPESTS
DaImatia Has Been an unquiet Spot
in All the Years of Her
Tragic History. ..,

Dalmatia, elongated so that it is
nowhere more than 80 miles wide, tap
ering down to but mile at Cattaro,
has been swept by continuous racial
tempests for the last eight centuries.
Croats and Serbians constitute the
Slavic element in Dalmatia, speaking
the same language, but employing two
alphabets. The Serbs use the Russian.
and the Croats the Latin letters and
alphabet.
The Latin influence is more prev
aient in the cities, the story of Dali
malta being the reason therefor. In
the middle ages the Dalmatians were
a people without the consciousness of
country. During the Slav influx into
hiyria the invaders encountered little
opposition, except in the seaport towns.
The Latin element in the cities resist
ed the migration and thus engendered
the strife for supremacy which per-
sists to this day.
Much of the early Dalmatian rivalry
was economic, the tradesmen and
farmers naturally wishing to exchange
their goods with the HungarIans. The
maritime cities preferred to do bust
ness with Venice, which controlled the
Adriatic,

ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGYPT
Labyrinth Constructed Some $500
Years Ago Was Structure
of Colossal Size.

King Minos, with his labyrinth on
the island of Crete. is generally sup
posed to have been the originator of
the maze idea; but Egypt has laby-
rlnth, too, and Egypt manages to hold
the record for antiquity in almost ev-
erything, labyrinths included.
This Egyptian labyrinth is $500
years old. 1t is merely chaotic mass
of rocks piled up in the desert a few
miles out of Medinet. The outlines of
the walls merge dimIy here and there
from the ruins, and from these out
lines, and the carvings on the stones,
Psychologists deduce that the Iaby.
Labarys, who was more popularity
known as Amenemhat III.
The structure was 500 by 600 feet.
1t contained 5000 rooms, half above
ground, half below. Remember that
the largest hotel in our present day
world boasts about that number of
rooms on dozen floors and covers a
city square, and some idea of the size
of the two-story labyrinth can be
gained: ..s..
Nobody has figured out yet why King
Amenemhat built this enormous pal
ace or tomb. In the lower story, his
tory says, the sacred crocodiles and
kings were buried. while the upper
floor was, a few centuries after King
Amenemhat's time, used as seat of
government.
The labyrinth was a wonderful
place, one of the most wonderful in
Egypt, if our ideas of it are correct,
and its greatness was its downfall.
The citizens of nearby town, who
worshlped the ichneumon, resented
the sacred crocodiles of the labyrinth.
And so they made an attack upon one
Of King Amenemhat's successors and
reduced the largest structure in Egypt
to a. ruin.
