WELL KNOWN AS MOSES POOL
the Bible in Connection With
Great Law GiVer.

In the Egyptian desert about ten
miles east of Suez, is situated pic
turesque pool known as Moses Well"
This is believed to be the well men
toned in the Bible, where Moses, at
the bidding Of the Lord, cast a branch
into the bitter waters, and they were
sweetened. Set in deep grove of
date-palms and pomegranate trees, the
wen is a dark, calm, mysterious look
ing pool, faithfully rejecting the
palms which fringe its edges. The
scene at sunrise, when the first rays
strike the stil water, is exquisite be
yOnd description.
Attempts to identify various nat
ural beauties and locations with men
tions or descriptions as given in the
Bible have always been difficult, owing
to the fact that the records of the
rulers Of Egypt at the time of the cap
tivity of the Jews were destroyed by
rulers that came into power immcdi-
ately afterward. The motive was
jealousy, and a determination to wipe
from the minds of the people any re-
grets for rulers gone.

The other interesting congressional
action was taken by the house on
Wednesday, when it decided by
vote Of 267 TO 7G, that during the next
ten years it shall be composed Of the
same number of representatives as
now-43j. The plan Of apportonment
adopted provides that eight states
shall gain in representation ana elcv-
en- lose California gets three more
members, Ohio and Michigan two more
each and New Jersey, Connecticut,
North Carolina, Texas and Washing
ton one each The LOSERS are Missouri,
two; and Iowa Indiana, Kentucky,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska,
Rhode Island and Vermont, one each.
Because the population has been
drifting from the farm TO the city. the
agricultural constituencies Of the West
and South are the ones that suffer
most IN loss Of representation. The
congressman from those regions were
the chief opponents Of the measure,
and their main argument was that the
census, being taken during the war
period when the young men or the
country had been drafted or attracted
to the cities by high wages, was unfair.

mier of France and Repara-
tions Conference opens.
BY EDWARD W. PlCKARO.

Congress took action on two import
ant and interesting matters last week..
one of these related to the national
defense. The senate, which had voted
for reduction Of the strength of the
army lo 100000 mon, recousidercd its
vote and rcpaSscd the New resolution
directing the secretary of war To Sus-
pend cuIistmeutS until reduction TO
l-I.OOO men was accomplished, The
house promptly passed similar reso-
luton almost unanimously, and the
measure went to the President 1t
was expected, in view Of the opposition
of the war department., that Mr.. Will
son would veto it, and that congress
would pass il over the veto.
This is supposed to be a measure of
economy which will save about forty
million dollars "a year to the govern
ment. The senate was restrained from
being even more economical only by
representations from Secretary of War
Baker that the 10000 limit would
upset the departments plans for army
organization, and from General Perish
ing that 100000 men was the bottom
limit of safety. OF course the sena-
tors in this connection debated the
yellow peril" pheIan Of California
asserted the necessity for large garri-
sons in Pacific possessions was greater
now than during the war, while Reed
and Williams ridiculed the danger
and said Japan never would dare TO
attack the United States without the
assistance of Great Britain.
1t is likely that the latter view is
that generally held in America except
by the people of the Pacific coast, to
whom the japanese peril looms large.
1t accords, also, with the expert opin-
ion of the German Admiral Schcor
who says It would be almost impossi-
bic for Japan to land an army on
American soil. Some people have
grown excited over the murder of an
American navy lieutenant by Japa-
nese sentry in Vladivostok, There is
no doubt that this affair will be set
tied automatically, though the sharp
note from Washington, virtually qucs-
tioning Japan's right in the Siberian
city, may result in an acrid exchange,
The arbitrary actions Of the Japanese
authorities In Vladiyostok, which they
hold under military rule, have caused
a good deal of irritatOn-but the gov
eminent In Tokyo is too smooth 80
permit them to lead to hostilities with
the United States.
