He averted his head to ward off her
lips. and Amy blew a kiss down the
back of his neck.
Mrs. Kirkland observed his GRIM

Iron Clothes With the Feet.

In Cairo men employed in the ma.
tive tailoring establishments iron
clothes with their feet. Except for
the long handle, the irons are shaped
like an ordinary flat-iron. but are
larger. A solid block OF wood rests
on the top Of the iron, end on this
the men place one foot, guiding the
iron in the desired direction by means
of the handle. For the sake Of con-
venience, ironing boards are raised
only a few inches from the ground,
and, however strange the method may
seem, the work is done well and e1
peditiously.

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 35 miles wide. tap
ering down to but a 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
alent 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
a country. During the Slav influx into
nlyria the invaders encountered little
opposition. except in tho seaport towns.
The Latin element in the cities resist
led the migration and thus engendered
the strife for supremacy which per-
sists to this day.
Much Of the early Dalmatlan rivalry
was economic, the tradesmen and
farmers naturally wishing to exchange
their goods with the Hungarians. The
maritime cities preferred to do busl-
ness with Venice, which controlled the
Adriatic.

ANCIENT MARVEL OF EGYPT
Labyrinth Constructed Some $500
Years Ago Was q 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-
rinth. 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 few
miles out Of Medinet. The outlines of
the walls merge dimly here and there
from the ruins, and from these out
lines. and the carvings on the stones,
Psychologists deduce that the laby.
rinth was built by a certain King
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 a dozen floors and covers a
city square. and some idea of the size
of the two-stOry labyrinth can be
gained.
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
worshiped the ichneumon, resented
the sacred crocodlles of the labyrinth.
And so they made an attack upon one
of King Amenemhat's successors and
reduced the largest structure In Egypt
to ruin.

POSSIBLE EFFECT OF REVOLT
What Might Happen Should Royalists
Gain Complete Control.

Gain Complete Control.
Washington Assuming that the
rOyalists might be able to gain COM
plete control in Germany, officials
have turned their attention to the
possible effect on the carrying out of
the terms of the treaty of Versailles.
Latest reports here show that the
organized military forces in Germany
consist of the relchwehr of slightly
less than 100000 men, and the home
guard cOnstabulary of about 100000.
The rechwehr is to be reduced to 100,-
600 by July 10 under the treaty stip-
ulatiOn. The home guard was formed
to maintain internal order, and is sub
ject to call to suppress local uprisings.
The German navy is said to be prac-
tically non-existant.
The principal elements of discOn-
tent are said to be the junker who
yearn for Prussian supremacy, the
Spartacists and returning war prison
ers, who are dissatisfied with the
Slow construction methods of the adj
ministration, and the reactionaries. In
Guided in the reactionaries, 1t is said,
are the $4,000 troops recruited by Won
der Goltz for their loyalty to the for
mer government. This force occupied
the Baltic states until Its withdrawal
was forced by the allies. and was aft
erwards reported to have disbanded.

whom were reported to be out of SYM

SOUNDS NOTE OF OPTIMISM.
Believed at Capital That Interference
by Entente is Unlikely.

Wasnington.-If the new German
government lives up to the statements
Of Chancellor Kapp, Institutes re-
gime that Is without faint of the Ho-
henzollerns and carries out the terms
of the peace treaty, the allies and the
United States will rest easily.
Official opinion now shows a decided
inclination to view the German upris-
ing In a more moderate fashion. 1t
was declared that thus far no reason
for the necessity of military interven-
ton in Germany existed. Moreover,
the general trend of opinion among
senators was that the situation In no
way affected the peace treaty and that
the German people were entitled to
any form of government-with the ex-
ception of Hohenzollern monarchy
that they desired.

GERMANY NOW ON
VERGE OF CIVIL WAR
SOUTHERN STATES PREPARING
TO FIGHT REAcTioNARlEs
TO A FINISH.
General Strikes Called Everywhere,
the Workers Siding With Deposed
Regime Against Military Group,
and Attacking Police.

Berlin.-Fifteen persons were killed
and 100 wounded in violent clashes
between strikers and police at Frank
fort on Main, Sunday The strikers
proved victorious after an all-day bat
tie and drove the police out of town,
whereupon a huge mob looted the
main arms depot.
Similar clashes occurred in other
big industrial centers. A general
strike has been called, besides in
Frankfort, in Nuremberg, Magdeburg,
Breslau and throughout the Rhenish
Westphalian mining districts.
No disturbances took place in Ber-
lin. The Prussian eagle emblem also
is flying from all official buildings in
Berlin and has been hoisted over the
stacks of arms belonging to the Luett-
WITT army.
Minister of Defense Luettwitz is
sued this statement:
1.-THE revolution is the consequence
of the non-fulfilment of promises by
the Ebert government and the neglect
of the Bolshevist menace.
"a German army of 100000 is not
sufficient to fight Bolshevism. The
| government will resort to military
force in Germany only as last refuge.
/ 1--WE wish to maintain good under
standing with the entente, If that be
reconcilable with German honor"
DIR. Kapp has permanently sup
pressed the leading Socialist organ,
Vorwaerts, and the radical papers,
Freiheit and Die Rote Fahne.
The greater part of southern Ger
many, Infatuated by the high-handed
methods of the Kapp government of
making Prussia once more the center
erism, is reported combining and or
ganizing to fight the junkerist revolu-
ton to the death.
So swift and sudden was the over
throw of the Ebert regime that for
fully twenty-four hours the mass of
the German people were too stunned
to take sides AID to act; but early
Sunday the lOng-suppressed passions
of the populace began to flare up with
all the greater force and the issues
assumed concrete form. Hundreds OF
thousands of workers throughout the
nation determined to heed Eberts ap-
peal for a nationwide strike In pro-
test against the return of militarlsm,
while at the same time the majority
of the troops, long chatting under the
Socialist rule, made known their thick
and-thin loyalty to the new regime,
which embodies all the pOmp and lus-
ter of the one-time imperial army.

Beriin.-The government OF Fried

DIR. Wolfgang Kapp, one of the
founders of the Fatherland party, and
general director of the agricultural

There are now two contending gov

old ore, under President Ebert at Dres-

Officials of the new government de-
clare that 1t is not reactionary or mon

The former minister of foreign affairs
Gottlieb Won Jagow, and General Baron
Won Falkenhausen, former governor
general of Belgium, are among the lead
ers of the counter-revolutiOn.
1t has been openly charged that the
former emperor of Germany is behind
the revolutionary movement, but ac
cording to news that comes from The
Hague, 1t is not believed there that
either the former. emperor or the crown
prince are implicated in the overthrow
of the German government.

emperor lives, and the Island of Wier.

makes his residence, are already SO
closely guarded that 1t will be abso-
