William II. Taft no interruption of his
present occupation as one of the arbi-
traitors TO determine the price to be
paid by the Government of Canada for
the stock of the Grand Trunk Railway.

ownership and operation.
The opening of the morning session
was marked by the extension of con-
gratulations to Mr.. Taft by the lawyers
and arbtrators, the proceedings being
quite Informal and at times jocular

Grand Trunk Railway counsel. who
said;
1--WE see by report in this mornings
paper that Mr.. TAFT has been appointed
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court OF
the United States. one of the greatest
judicial tribunals in the world.
II think that appointment Will not
only be received with extreme satisfac-
tion by his own fellow citizens and the
bar of the United States, but inasmuch
az the decisions of that tribunal are fire.
Quently quoted not only in our courts
but with the greatest satisfaction by the
bar of Canada, and I think also by the
people of Canada.
"Mr. Taft has been among us much
In the past. and 1 hope he will continue
TO be with us in the future. He has
made his home for part of the year
among our people"

has not shown very much judicial talent
in this case, having dissented." Laugh-
ter.)
Mr.. Atwater: 'If you refer. Sir wal
ter. to the fact that he dissents from
the majority OF the board on a very
important point. we on our side think
he has shown very great judicial talent.
(Laughter.)
But, at all events, I am sure we
sincerely trust that the new Chief JUS
tfce of the Supreme Court of the United
States may have many years OF hap
piness and OF usefulness in that great
position to which he has been appointed"
II only wish TO say" said Mr.. Taft.
that I am very much obliged to Mr.
Atwater for his kindly notice of this
appointment and to say further that the
experience have had here with the bar
OF Canada has been n delightful one,
and only reflects the common bond there

CHICAGO July IAN expedition OF the
University of Chicago is going to Pales-
tine to excavate the site of Armageddon.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr.. has contributed
$4,000 toward the task. DR.. James
Henry Braisted, head of the universitys
department of Oriental languages and
literature, viii be in general charge of
the work. Armageddon became a part
of the vocabulary Of Americans in 1912,
when Theodore Roosevelt. at the Chicago
convention. sounded the famous battle
cry: "I stand at Armageddon and battle
for the Lord"
What's Armageddon?' thousands
taxed. And the authorities were COM
PEELED to come forward and explain Ar
mageddon, the worlds most historic bat
tleground.
1t was the Bible that first celebrated
Arrnageddon, or Megiddo. The Book of
Revelation calls it the scene of the
worlds last battle.
The University Of Chicago's excava-
tions in Armageddon probably will pro-
duce additional information about the
course OF some of the great campaigns
of early history" said DIR. Thomas G.
Allen, secretary of the Oriental Institute
OF the university. 1t was said that be-
sides the $4,000 gift Mr.. Rockefeller
donated 500. 900 for additional work.
It was in 1479 b. c. that one of the
Kings of Egypt sought to extend his do
minions over Palestine and Syria to the
Euphrates. For hundred years be-
fore his predecessors had a foothold
there. The battle of Megiddo took place
in his first campaign. The local princes
pf Palestine and Syria formed coali-
ton and resisted vigorously. The King
took the city OF Megiddo. but not until
the leaders OF the native population had
escaped. Had the King captured IL more
quickly he would have saved himself
many years of subsequent campaigning.
for it required twenty years for him to
complete his conquest.
Megiddo has been the scene of many
subsequent battles. The last battle was
fought by Gen. Allenby against the Turks
in the world war.

Yesterday the Monumental City
players came here to continue their
argument with Central at the sta
dunn, which ended a couple of weeks
ago in Baltimore, to 1 in nine
innings, and got the better of the
locals by the count of 5 to 1.
Frank Krupp, starting his first
contest of the season for CentraI
pitched a beautiful game. He Whit
fed thirteen batters, allowed only
five bingIes. and passed four.
A collection of eleven safe cracks
was not enough to bring victory to
the Mount Pleasanters. Five OF
these were good for two bases each.
and Cummings socked one to right
for three bags. Errors by Goodman
and Davis paved the way for two OF
the Baltimoreans' tallies. Beall, the
first man up, smacked the first ball
pitched over the short right field
wall for a double and after swip-
ing third crossed the platter with
the first run on Henschen's infield
out. One alien run was scored on a
hit. while two were made on field
ers' choices to throw home and an
other on an infield out.
"Donie" Goodman, Dey and Cum
mings led the home clan with the
fail, as they each banged out two
doubles and a single. The first man,
ed got his bingles with none on
and was stranded in each case. Dey
drove in two markers with timely
sYats. This boy is driving 'em out
these days and has been delivering
in the pinches.
Cummings started a Central rally
in the sixth with two down when
he whaled one of Books fast ones
to left for three sacks. Davis
promptly drove him in with a sim
gle. In the eighth Cummings again
started things with a line double
over the wall and scored on Dey's
two-ply crack.
But this was not sufficient to turn
the trick for the Blue and White,
and the fast Baltimore OUTFIT cop
ped again. They played hne ball
afield, having a total of eighteen
assists and but two errors. Beal
starred with a double, single, and
six assists in the field. The box

The game was not particularly

A feature of the game was the
work of the Robins back field,

country, played remarkable foot
ball. though he failed to score.
The score stood . to at the
close of the first period. Hosie and
