ENDURING RECORDS
 BUILT BY RAMESES
Tablet Setting Forth Conquest of
 the Land Still Visible

Jerusalem, Sept. 26.-On the face of a cliff in the Lebanon hills Rame- ses II, King of Egypt, we'll over s. 900 years ago ordered his stone carv- CTS to inscribe tablet setting forth his conquest of the land. The figures of the ancient Egyptian rules and his men still are visible. A few feet away one may see, carved in the same rock by British stone cutter, a record of the coming in September, 1918, of Field Marshal Sir Edmund
 H. H. Allenby, G. c. B., commander
 of the Allied forces in Asia Minor.
 And the passage of the centuries
 from B. c. 1900 to A. D. 1918 is rec
 orded by various other carvings, in all not less than 12 and each describ-
 Ing the march of a victorious army
 The cliff selected for the carving of these historic records is at the
 mouth of the Dog river, 10 miles northeast of Beirut, in Syria This strip of country lying between the Le- banons and Egypt has been the bridge between the ancient empires of the Valley of the Nile and Mesopo- tamia and over 1t has passed arm les of the ancient, medievae; mod ern worlds. The narrowest point is where the Lebanon mountains come close to the sea, and at this place Rameses II set the precedent of commemorating his conquests by hewing out a panel on the face of the by others through the centuries un- til now there are a dozen of them They are all cut about four or five inches deep, from five to nine feet high, and from two to four and a half feet in width. The storms of more than 5000 years have beaten upon some of them, but still the fig ures of the ancient Egyptian con- querors are easily discernible as they stand with their right arms upifted in an attitude of victory. The hiero- glyphics have long sinced disappeared except to the trained eye of the archae eologist.
 Several Assyrian conquerors led their armies through this pass, in- cluding the great Sennacherib, who threatened Jerusalem. but whose army was smitten by "the breath of the Lord" and for century and a quarter the city was saved from it's foes.
 Alexander the Great led his con- quering hosts through the same de- | file on his way to Egypt, and Greek | and Latin tablets tell of the conquests of the great kingdoms of southern Europe when the march of empire passed from Asia to Europe.
 Coming down to recent history a tablet tells of the coming of the army of Louis Napoleon in 1860, when the massacres in the Lebanons called for European interference and France first set her foot in Syria. Nearly 60 years passed by, and then the English army led by General AL lenby and assisted by the French. swept up like a whirlwind from the south four years ago and ended the rule of the Turk in the southern part of the Levant
 A panel has been cut in the cliff near those of the ancient Egyptians, telling of this great victory and bring ing this wonderful cliff record of his- tory up to date.

RUSSIA QU|E7EST
 COUNTRY IN WORLD
Seems Land of Peace in Compari.
 son With Other Nations

Moscow, Sept. 26.-American and western European newspaper corre- spondents who have been in Moscow
 Turing the period of the railway and coal mine strikes in the United States; the renewed fighting in Ire land: the political crisis in Italy. and the troubles in Germany incidental to the fall in the value of the mark. reached the conclusion that Soviet Russia was the most tranquil country in the world.
 Under the iron hand of the prole- terian dictatorship. strikes and dis turbances such as the cables reported daily from abroad are impossible in Russia. So, while their colleagues in other countries were actively engaged in reporting wars, strikes and near revolutionary demonstrations, the Moscow correspondents found little or nothing to do. The court trials and death sentences on the counter-revo lutionists seemed mild in comparison with the news coming into Russia.
 This tranquility was particularly surprising to the first French news paper correspondents visiting Russia since the early days of the revolution. American newspapers for more than year have had direct relations with Russia, but the French press has ob taned its news" of Russia by way of the grapevine route, printing ob- vious fabrication3 indicating that bloodshed and horrors were continu- ous performances in every Russian city, even up to this day
 One French correspondent was so surprised to find Moscow calm and even attaining the gaiety of a metrop- olis-with brilliant cafes, crowded race courses and flower bedecked parks and plazas full of smiling and well dressed promenaders-that he feared his Partisan readers, accus- toned to a different brand of Rus sian news, would not believe what he wrote.

Paris WomenRepor Cutting OHLntLe Toe

w~AsHINGToN. March 2.

WASHINGTON, March ..
Unanimous agreement to
eliminate the cash feature of
the soldiers bonus except in
the case of men whose adjust.
ed service pay would not ex-
coed $50. was reported today by the
special subcommittee n Republican,
members OF the house ways and means
committee to which the whole BONUS
question was referred yesterday.
In lieu of cash for the Other servfcs
men it was agreed to add n new pro-
vision TO h bonus bill under which
tho men accepting adjusted service
certificates could borrow Immediately
on those certificates from banks a sum
equal to 80 per cent OF the to.al ad-
justed service pay. computed al the
rate OF 81 a day for domestic service
and <1.25 a day for foreign service.
This official statement OF the agree
ment OF n subcommittee was issued
by Chairman Foriney:
Tho subcommittee consisting OF
Chairman Foriney. Messrs. Green.
|Longworth. Hawiey. Tteadvay and
ICopiey hav tentatively agreed upon
and prepared n provision to be sub
mitted which In substance is as fol-
lows:
The elimination Of the ash feature
Of the bonus bill where the veterans
arc entitled to moro than $50 adjusted
service pay. but adding a new loan
provision to the adjusted service GER
tificate title which will enable hold-
ers of such certificates to borrow from
any national bank or bank or trust
company Incorporated under tho laws
of any state SO per sent OF the sum
OF the adjusted service pay prior to
September 30. 1895. This date was
fixed because after mat time tho bill
as originally drafted by the committee
provides fer a larger percentage OF
loan by the governments and has not
been changed by tho Subcommittee"
Chairman Fordney said ii plan
was expected to meet with general ap-
prevail since It enabled the soldiers
who may be in need to obtain cash i'm
mediateiy after the issuance of tho GER
tifcates; woui relieve the treasury of
any. large payment during tho enor-
nous rofunding operations which must
be carried out in tho next VT years
and would place no additional tar
burden upon the public.
Governor Harding OF h federal re-
serve board was before tho sub-corn-
mittee today discussing the interest
and other questions. 1t was suggested
that the interest rate should not ex-
coed n figure greater than two per
cent above the rediscount rates OF the
regional reserve banks.
Under another tentative provision
being considered the title to the GER
t~if1cates could not DO disposed of by
the service men. tho idea being. Mr..
Fordney explained to prevent tho GER
tlncates falling ipto the hands of loan
sharks. T
1t was explained that the $50 casf
payment was retained in the bill be
cause tho men entitled only to this
amount undoubtedly would prefer the
cash to a twenty year certificate.
