Kelley's objection to this form of ques-

there was a client willing to pay for
misunderstanding information.
When the fall finally came the
police found Anspach in little room
that he had fitted up as a laboratory
and office. The establishment was
complete for forging all sorts of Off
cial papers and communications.
Among his confederates, the police
said, were a DR.. TRIUMPH, Prussian
cavalry officer named Mueller,
Frau Sachse, wife Of a Captain, and
an Austrian Captain named Lustig.
Some Of these are under arrest.
Much Of the information about the
identity Of those who purchased An
spach's forged reports and commune
cations comes from the confession
which Anspach made to Privy Coun-
cillor Weiss, who was in charge Of
the investigation, which finally re-
suited in the forger's downfall.
One of the clients is said to have
been NJ. Lefevre, the former French
Minister of War. Anspach said that
Lefevre, always suspicious at any in
timation that Germany was arming
herself again, was particularly eager
to get his reports on the prepared
ness Of the German military police.
Anspach says he copied 10000 names
out Of telephone directories, 10000
more from other sources and deliv-
cred the whole list, duly stamped
with his duplicate rubber stamps, as
the actual strength Of the German
military police"
Anspach also furnished to Lefevre,

The People of Gutium," referred
to in the tablet, have been known to
psychologists only as invaders, prob
ably tribesmen from the hills, who
swept into the peaceful and fertile
valley Of Mesopotamia in 2425 B. c.,
conquered all the cities, and re-
manned in control for more than n
century. Some rather interesting
speculation is aroused by the state
ment in the tablet that they had no
king" Was this the worlds first re-
public? And If so, what was its
method Of choosing its leaders? Some
OF the cities named in the chrono-
logical lists have never been discov-
cred, but doubtless some day they
will be located and no one knows
what stories of ancient enlighten-
ment their ruins may yield.

The Legendary Kings.

by degrees, thanks to the docu-
ments published in the last ten years,
we are reconstruc ting Babylonian
history over the third millenium back
to the legendary times Of the kings
after the flood. The part played in
this reconstruction by the Babylon
ian expedition and excavations in
Nippur cannot be overrated. Indeed,
Nippur and its temple toward B. C.
1000, at the timeof King Hammurabi,
the very time when Abraham started
on his long wandering career, ap-
pear more and more as a center Of
religious and intellectual life.
At Nippur records Of the past used
TO be stored, preserved and compiled
In form Of statues, slabs of stone and
votive objects covered with inscrip-
tons and reliefs, recording the names
OF the kings, their wars, their VIC
tories and their offerings to the gods.
That ancient institution, with all
respect and allowance for time and
place, might compare with the mod
ern abbeys Of Westminster and st.
Denis. A collection Of these inscrip-
tons on n large tablet done by a
scribe of the temple Is among the
most precious documents preserved
in the Museum. All the inscriptions
on that tablet concern three kings of

Clearing Up of

history" says DR.. Legrain in his de-
scription Of the new fragment. THE
names Of the kings and the length OF
their reigns, the relation of father
and son, the dynasty to which they
belonged and the city which became
their capital, the total number OF
kings and years and one particular
dynasty, and, best Of all, fully de-
veloped lists of succeeding dynasties,
are a leading light in the obscure
path of the student Of ancient his
tory. Anything bearing on these
subjects is most valuable document
for the scholar, the archaologist or
any man interested with the problem
Of origins.
Among the few uncatalogued tab
let's in the Museum collection there
has come to light, during the last
summer, a fragment from Nippur
which is of unusual importance in this
connection, for it is part Of chrono-
logical tablet that fills a gap in tho
early history of Babylonia. 1t begins
at point prior to $500 B. c. and
comes down to 5000 B. c., covering
a period of more than 500 years and
connecting up with other chrono-
logical records that have come to
light from time to time.

he said had been held on last March
70. This report, now in the hands
of the police, covers about thirty
typewriter pages and contains
speeches by President Ebert, For
cign Minister Rathenau and Chan
cellor Wirth. No such meeting as
the one described ever took place.
Another of his forgeries, also in
the hands Of the police, is a letter
from the Second Battalion Of Pr
oneers at Stettin, dated last March
IS and addressed to THE Chief of the
Department Of Arms in the German
Ministry of National Defense" 1t
bears the stamp of the Second Bat
TALON and reads:
In the last two weeks the follow
ing materials have been shipped to
KoWno by way of Koenigsberg: Alb
cases of agricultural machinery, con-
tanning 1886 rifles, 1920 carbines,
BAT light Haubitzers, 210 flame throw
ers, 80 light mine throwers, $4,000
canteens, $4,000 field spades and
3 $50 bread bags.
There remain to be shipped, ac-
cordingly, 1880 rifles, model 9S; 24O
light machine guns, 10 light field
Haubitzers and 5000 field spades"
The letter IS signed in code-the
correct code, toby Hermann,
First Lieutenant and Adjutant."
The rubber stamp, symbol Of the
old German perfection of detail and
infallbility of system, carried the
forgeries Of Anspach into the coun-
tries of the East, into Poland, Llthu-
ania, Silesia and others, wherever

lies in the fact that 1t restores the
main lines Of Babylonian chronology
as set down by tradition among the
scholars of Nippur about B. c. 20OO
The Greek tradition of Abydenus and
Berosus must be traced back to it.
Four new dynasties Of Kish, Hamazi
Adab and Mari will take rank soon
after those of Ur and AVIAN and
before those of Upi, Kish, Akkad,
Guti and Isin. We learn, too, the
names of the first rulers of the Guti;
Inbia, Ingishu. Warlagaba and lar
lagarum, four out Of a total OF
twenty-one kings who occupied the
land 124 years and 40 days.
This new and welcome informa-
ton must not blind us to the fact
that absolutely reliable chronology is
actually out of the question, not only
because a legendary number Of years
Is attributed to the kings Of the first
dynasty of Kish (some six, seven.
eight or nine hundred years each),
or because any attempt to supply by
indirect computation the missing
portions of the text would prove
fruitless, but because the texts so
far published do not agree in all de-
tails. Whether the various readings

Good Business English

" HE uses of our language Mr..
Weseen is concerned with
are chiefly those of the writ
ers of letters for business purposes,
with its use in business reports as a
secondary feature. Commercial cor
respondence always has stilted air
when reproduced in a work of this
kind. from the specimen quoted from
Daniel Defoe down to the highly
formalized kind in use to-day. And
even the attempts to make sales
letters more human and "snappy"
do not quite eradicate the stiff re-
pellant style of modern business cor
respondence.
But business letters have to be
written, certain forms have to be
adhered to, uniformity of type
writing, margins, &C., are insisted
upon by most large firms. To know
what these forms are is imperative
to any one who handles the CORE
spondence for business house; and
there could be no better way Of find
ing out just how to write different
kinds Of commercial letters than
studying the pages Of Mr.. Weseen's
very complete textbook. He devotes
seven chapters to business letters of
all kinds and tells all the latest
wrinkles in the mechanical layout
and makeup Of them, the "block"
form and what it is, and the very
last cry in addressing letters. 1t
may surprise some old fashioned folk
to learn that there is such person
as Correspondence supervisor" in
some houses, and we hope the one
whose letter is quoted here won't be
too much distressed over the date
not appearing in his own advisory
letter in which he makes a special
point Of just where the date should
go.
The second part of the volume is
of more general interest, since 1t is
concerned with such things as the
true significance of words, the i'm
portance Of a good vocabulary, sug-
gestions as how to enlarge our own,

Anspach was 10 years old when his
parents, after many quarrels, bitter
accusations on both sides and much
fighting about the house, were di-
vorced. The father was given GUS

later turned him out of his house
The boy went to live in the streets.
When he was IA he became a sailor
and in many ports and on many evil
ships he picked up knowledge of
wickedness.
But all that time Anspach believed
ne was better than his comrades. He
believed his brain was superior to
theirs; that somewhere in his make
up was a force that would carry him
some day from the docks and the
ships and place him where he would
have money and power. He wanted
knowledge first. When he was not
learning new forms of vice he was
reading books.
Finally he was admitted to the
University of Goettingen. He was a
good student. He learned quickly.
But there were ugly stories about
him. 1t later developed that he had
paid most of his way through the
university by forging physicians
certificates and pawn tickets.
About the time he finished at the
university he fell in love with a

A Gap Of 500 Years.

Not only does the new tablet give
this chronology, but 1t also gives
the names Of four dynasties hereto
fore unknown, the names OF sew
eral kings which are not found else
where In ancient records, and con-
siderable other information Of al
most incalculable value TO the ar
chaeologist. Incidentally It appears
to dispose Of the mystery Of Alag

tablet with founding the dynasty Of

have reigned for 100 years. The

about the secret mobilization of this
army of police in the southern part
Of Germany, the drilling of German
student corps by former army off,
GERS and much similar information.
His reports led to heated discussions
In the French Chamber of Deputies
and once resulted in Gen. Nollet
sending a vigorous note to Germany
protesting against the reported secret
military preparations.
Practically all of Anspach's reports
were signed in the same form as con-
fidential communications between
various departments of the German
Government. In each case the re-
ports were accompanied by the re-
quest to return the documents at
once In order to prevent detection"
When Anspach was arrested DIR.
Gessler, German Minister of State
Defense, said:
II have been besieged with inquir-
les regarding this fantastic German
Russian agreement. 1t has created
CONSERVATION in many places and
among many elements. To those who
nave read this document, or copy
Of 1t, It is clearly forgery. Through

opinion everywhere against Ger

delight of a fiend stressed upon those
very points that would be most GER

re construction.
