The Academy of Sciences, the

hope to grow. Her ruins and the
history of her people will always

RESTORE ANCIENT
STADI0N OF ATHENS.

With the restoration of the an
cient stadion of Athens many Athe-
mans are hoping for a renaissance
of the glories of the Attic city, ac-
cording to DR.. Wyatt, OF Seattle, seen
at the Washington yesterday.
DR.. Wyatt is returning from a tour
of Egypt and the Mediterranean
countries, where he spent the last
year in archaeological studies.
The stadion has been restored so
that 1t appears much as 1t must
have looked 1000 years ago in the
time of Herodes Atticus, tho Public
spirited Roman who furnished it
with marble seats" said DR.. Wyatt.
1T is now one of the most interest
ing sights of Athens"
strangely enough" he continued.
the stadion has been restored, not
by a resident Greek but by a Mr..
Averoff, of Alexandria, and with
money made in another country.
The cleaning white marble which
has been used in the restoration OF
this magnificent structure has been
obtained from the ancient quarry of
Pentelikon. This, ii will be remem-

is the same source from which the
marble for the building was taken in
ancient times. This marble is a verv
good looking stone which retains its
white appearance for a long time"
In building the stadion in which
the annual games were held in an
clent time, the Greeks followed the
natural COnfguration of the land, ac
cording to DIR. Wyatt. In this prac-
tlce they differed from the Romans
who adapted the ground to their
. building requirements. The stadion
was built in a natural depression in
the hills. AS far as is known. little
attempt was made by the Greeks to
adorn the structure during the first
TWO centuries of its use. 1t was not

ASK CONGRESS ID STRENGTHEN
 BOOZE PATROL
CBy International News service)

WASHINGTON, July 20 Rum running is now recognized as an en- forcement problem, to be met with larger forces of dry" agents on the borders and along the coasts.
 Thousands of gateways along the Canadian and Mexican borders aGd on the coast, through which millions of gallons of booze pass regularly, must be protected by broader en- forcement plan. If the Volstead law is to be enforced with reasonable sue cess prohibition officials declared re- gently.
 Government officials will ask con gross to strengthen the customs ser vice to check activity by whiskey smugglers They also will seek au- thority to enlarge the force of dry agents on the borders.
 Since customs officers were with drawn from border duty, where they served for a time, little resistance has been offered to smugglers. The notorious fact that millions in illicit profits are being made by traffic in whiskey, by importers and bootleg gers. is well known to the internal revenue bureau.
 The present strength of the reve- nue and dry law personnel only al lows the detail of a small number of men for border duty. This ar engagement cannot be changed until congress grants more funds. The at titude of congress against greater appropriations is we'll known. There is much doubt congress will alter it's views, despite the pressure brought by prohibition leaders.

 WASHINGTON. July 2S.-A pc. culiar form of intimidation, which has caused existing laws to be made the playthings of propagandists, has been stopped with a jolt Dry leaders of every shade, who have been getting away with lot of things that don't jibc with unbiased administration of justice, have awak- cned with a feeling in the head that now conyinces them that the polti. cal wheel has brought a new day and a new way of doing things
 This does not necessarily imply that the new administration is less dry than the old. or that it is in any sense less alive to the emer- gency which confronts the country in enforcing the laws as they stand on the statute books.
 But the pernicious activity of cer- tain dry enthusiasts, who have mon opolized the time and attention of certain officials of the treasury de partment and the department of jus tice. and invoked their power almost at will in making the Volstead law a vehicle to impose bothersome and unjust rules upon certain classes of citizens has been halted.
 The un-advertised control and dom iration of the "drys" over the prohi- bition unit has become something of scandal among those of sedate of ficialdom, who frown upon the em. ployment of outside influence" in shaping official acts, which affect all the people rather than some small part of it.
 Drys who have had a habit of ac- tuaIly writing regulations for treas ury officials to sign, as written. have passed along with another regime. They are not found around the inner precincts of the dry law chiefs, in itiating or suggesting what shall De done. all the while with some con sciousness that the overzealous dry leaders will be carried out in toto.
 The welcome sign still hangs on the doors of treasury officials. But not for the type, either wet or dry. who would try to put over any thing that is not fully warranted by law, or as the intent of congress has 1t, may be interpreted by the duly constituted legal advisers of members of the cabinet And for that there is much to be thankful.

SAYS CAPITAL IS MENACE TO
 WORLD PEACE
Hy International News servIcc)

PARIS, July 29-Thc alliance of great powers that wrested victory from Germany is going to pieces through perfectly natural causes and despite all the efforts of states men to keep it together.
 This is the opinion of Paul Louis, former chief editorial writer of the Matin and one of Frances most bril- liant publicists. He sees no hope for an end of the European chaos until the new process of transition is over.
 The idea that governments are in love with each other is one of the pleasantries of the day" writes Louis Alliances gre formed with definite business objects. and when these ob- jects are achieved the alliances end.
 The business of the alliance of 1914-17 was to defeat the central pow CTS, and it did it. But now this capitalistic alliance is divided as we see each day England and Italy that is, their governments. think differently than France on the question of the Ruhr and Upper Si- lesia; England and the United States dispute about oil.
 Tn 1914 the mine owners, the steel interest and the shipping in- terests of England feared German competition, and that is why they lent their aid to France. The gov ernment of Italy, in 1915. and the government of Rumania, in 1916, wished to profit by the circumstances to take slices from Austria and Hungary. But today Italy needs no more Austria territory, and Eng land thinks 1t Is time to renew com mercial affairs with Germany. That explains why England and Italy do not see the same way as France in affairs touching the Central Powers.
 "It is the competition of the an tagonistic interests of capitalists which is causing this evolution in the affairs of Europe. The present regime creates only insecurity and instability, for nothing stable for the peace of the world can be founded on the interests of one class"
