weight of vessels of gold and silver, of
ivory, and the most precious woods of
India: The iewelled winc-cups, vases and
golden statuary of Demetrius attracted
the gaze and excited the admiration of
every beholder. Immediately after these
came a crowd of youths, richly habited
in the costumes of a thousand different
tribes, bearing in their hands, upon cush-
ions of silk, crowns of gold and precious
stones, the offerings of the cities and
kingdoms Of all the world, as it were, to
the power and fame of Aurelian.
Following these came the ambassadors
OF all nations, sumptuously arrayed in
the habits of their respective countries.
Then an innumerable train of captives,
showing plainly in their downcast eyes, in
their fixed and melancholy gaze, that hope
had taken its departure from their
breasts. Among these were many women
from the shores of the Danube; taken in
arms fighting for their country, of enor-
NOUS stature, and clothed in the warlke
costume of their tribes.
IL was the ninth hour before the alter
nate shouts and deep silence of the multi
tude announced that the conqueror was
drawing near the capitol. All eyes were
turned with pity upon the Gallo Emperor
Tetricus, accompanied by the prince, his
son, and followed by other illustrious
captiyes from IGaul. Sympathy for him
was instantly lost in a stronger feeling
Of the same kind for Zenobia, who came
Immediately after.
She was on foot, exposed to the rude
gaze OF the Roman populace-toiing be-

IL was one Ol DTO1OuINl
melancholy. Her full eyes looked as if
privacy only was wanted for them to over
flow with floods of tears; but they fell not.
Her gaze was fixed on vacancy, or else
cast toward the ground. She seemed like
one unobservant of all around her, and
buried in thoughts to which all else were
strangers, and had nothing in common
with. They were in Palmyra, and with
her slaughtered multitudes. Yet though
she wept not, others did; and one could
see all along wherever she moved, the
Roman hardness yielding to pity, and
melting down before the all-subduing
presence of this wonderful woman.
Aurelian now took pity upon Zenobia,
and having deprived her of all power as
signed her a home at Thur, where she
passed the rest of her days in the quiet
which was greater punishpent than i'm
prisonment would have been. There is
no record of the actual day of her death.
The situation of Palmyra had much to
do with its rise to power, but it took
woman of Zenobia's stamp to make it
truly great. Originally the inhabitants
pitched their tents and huts about two
wells of clear water near the edge of
the desert. For years practically its only
inhabitants were roaming Arabs.
Since early times, however, it was
stopping place for travelling caravans,
and when Rome began to rise in, power
and to import silks, jewels, pearls, per-
fume and incense from India, China and
Southern Arabia to an extent that has
been reckoned as three quarters of mil
lion dollars each year, the merchants of
The Washington times., 1922-10-08

The measure of Palmyra's greatness is,
perhaps, best understood by the affect its
conquest had on the people of Rome
when Aurelian staged his great pageant
with Zenobia as the chief attraction.
This triumph was hailed as greater
than any of Pompey, Trajan or Titus and
has been most graphically described.
A long train of elephants opened the
show, their huge sides and limbs hung
with cloth of gold and scarlet, some hav-
ing upon their backs military towers or
other fanciful structures which were
filed with the natives of Asia or Africa,
all arrayed in the richest costumes of
their countries.
These were followed by wild animals,
and those remarkable for their beauty,
from every part of the world, either led,
as in the case of lions, tigers, leopards,
by those who from long management of
them possessed the same power over them
as the groom over his horse, or else drawn
along upon low platforms, upon which
they were made to perform tricks for
the amusement of the gaping and won-
dering crowds Then came not many
fewer than two thousand gladiators in
pairs, all arranged in such manner as
to display to the greatest advantage their
well-knit joints and projecting and
swollen muscles.
Next, upon gilded wagons, and arrayed
so as to produce the most dazzling effect,
came the spoils Of the wars of Aureian
treasures of art, rich cloths and en-
broideries, utensils Of gold and silver,
pictures, statues and works in brass, from
the cities of Gaul, from Asia and from
Egypt. Conspicuous here over all were
the rich and gorgeous contents Of the pal
ace Of Zenobia.
The huge wains groaned under the
The Washington times., 1922-10-08

Palmyra got their tithe of this vast sum
because of the protection they afforded
the caravans passing from Mesopotamia
to tie Mediterranean Sea.
Even from the time of the first Roman
emperors the city was under the suzc-
rainty of the Romans. When Valerian be-
came Emperor of the Romans the empire
was breaking up so that he placed his son
Gallcnus in charge of the Western En-.
pire to fight its enemies, who were press
ing down from the Danube and from
Spain, while he went to the East, where
Shapur l., King of the Parthians, was
rapidly acquiring the Eastern Roman
colonies.
Valcran was defeated and dragged
into slavery by Shapur, the only Roman
Emperor to end his days a slave to a con-
quCror.
His son GallienuS succeeded him and,
after hesitating a long time, Odcnathus,
then King of Palmyra, and husband of
Zcnobia, cast his fortunes with the Roman
Emperor, attacked the soldiers Of Shapur
, l., returning with their loot from Antioch,
and won the favor of Gallienus, by whom
he was raised to the title of hereditary
Prince of Palmyra and appointed sort
of vice-emperor for the East.
On his assassination in 267, his con-
sort, Zenobia, seized the reins of govern
in place Of her minor son.
Descending an attachment to Rome
while secretly cherishing imperial de-
signs for herself and her son, she has
tened to attack Egypt, claiming that she
would hold it for Rome. In 270 she sue
ceeded, and her son then ruled Egypt un-
der nominal joint rulership with Claudius,
as shown on the coins of the time.
Zenobia was busy intensifying her con-
troll of Syria and Asia Minor, and to that
end planted Palmyrene garrsons in va
rious cities even as far west as Chalcedon,
opposite Byzantium (Constantinople).
She still continued the polite fiction of
joint rulership with Rome, and the coins
bear the names of Aurelian, the Roman
Emperor, as "Sebastos," and Zenobia's as
"Sebaste," or, in Latin, Augustus and
Augusta. Very soon Zenobia dropped
the name and picture of Aurelian from
the coins altogether, which was equiva-

lent to declaring her own independence,
for the effigy upon the coin was the mark
Of sovereign right.
Rome could not long brook this osten-
tatious ignoring of her right to rule, and
first Egypt was conquered and restored
to Roman dominion. Then the Roman
army was marched into Asia Minor and
Syria (27D, and at Antioch the Palmy-
rene army under her general, Zabda, and
Zcnobia herself was defeated and driven
back. Retiring upon Amesa, the Pal
myrcnes again suffered defeat, but
though ordered by Aurclian to surrender
Zcnobia stifl dcfied him.
Leading her forces to Palmyra, in the
heart of the desert, Zcnobia thought that
she could defy the Romans. But the
Emperor managed to cross the desert and
bCscgCd Zcnobia in her capital. At this
critical moment, when it seemed as il she
might have been able to defend herself
effectively, Zcnobia was seized by panic
and fastened to the King of Persia, with
her son, seeking aid. But her movements
were betrayed by some of her own men
and she was captured upon the banks Of
the Euphrates by the Romans and Zeno-
bia was taken to Rome to grace Aure-
lian's triumph, bound with golden chains.
In the present ruins of Zenobia's capi-
tai M. Claude ProSt has made what are
leCnnlCally Calleu SOunulnPS, running
a shaft down here and there, or trench
at other parts of the great run-mound to
ascertain the character Of the remains
that lie hidden under the soil and sand
that have piled up there these many CEN
turcs.
M. Prost has proved by his survey that
the amount of soil and sand that has ac-
cumulated is comparatively little, in some
places being not more than two feet, and
others, and these the deepest, not more
than seven. This fact simplifes the work.
The tombs alone must hold countless
treasures, for Aurelian could not have
taken everything away with him, and il
is known from earlier excavations made
here that the Palmyrenes were great
tomb-builders. They erected towers, in
which were a large number of cubicles,
where the sarcophagi, or stone coffins,
were slipped into place, and in these stone
collins many treasures were buried.

meath the rays of a hot sun, and
the weight of jewels, such as both
for richness and beauty were
never before seen in Rome, and
of chains of gold, which first
passing around her neck and
arms, were then borne up by at
tendant slaves. Never did she
seem, not even in the midst of
her own court, to blaze forth
with such transcendent beauty,
yet touched with grief. Her look
was not ths of detection, of one
who was broken and crushed by
misfortune; there was no blush
of shame.

National Woman's Party Tells
Result OF Legislative Work

books for some time for the protection
of women employees do not discriminate
against women, but rather protect and
give them special privileges. The Indus

nificant. especially in view Of the fact
that articles have appeared which claim
nat the woman's rights bill has swept
away all special legislation for the pro-

states that this Is a claim which only

When asked If she knew Of any glar-
ing instances where unfair discrimina-
tions against women were now being
made, Miss Paul laid emphasis on the
fact that in Washington at the present
time very serious denials are being made
to women for the very simple reason
that they are women.
"For example" she said, take the fol-
lowing case. Positions OF commercial
agent in foreign cities have never been
open to women until Herbert Hoover be-
came Secretary of Commerce. Under
his regime Il was. announced that civil
service examinations for these positions
would be open to women. And yet, when
