This marked the close Of Persia S greatest
period of wealth and luxury, closing the
line of the Achaemenian kings, who had
lasted for just three centuries.
After the death Of Nebuchadnezzar-
562 B. C.-the Great, King of Babylon,
all Western Asia was divided into three
kingdoms, the Babylonian Empire, Media
and Lydia, and the contest for supremacy
was waged between these three thence,
forth. It was in $50 that Cyrus gained
control of Media by overthrowing Asty-
ages, and combining 1t with the kingdom
Of Persia. Only four years later he at
tackled Croesus, King Of Lydia, defeating
him and adding his enormous wealth to
the already enormous possessions Of his
empire.

sages. Running from these passages were
crypts and chambers in which were dis
covered many articles of the greatest
archaeological and intrinsic value.
Besides affording the king and his
court or trusted servants and mobiles
means of secretly communicating, this un-
derground maze had also been used as
storerooms and as a treasury. II had
been pretty well stripped of its contents.
Susa had not shared the swift destruction
of its more powerful sister city. Not
only the invaders, but the Persians them
selves had taken away its hidden treas
ures. But what aroused the intense in
terest of the scientists was the plan of the
palace, which showed that the palace of
Persepolis had been built on precisely the
same lines.
If this were so, they argued, then there
must be also under the ruins of Persepolis
a system of underground passages and
ruins. And as the destruction of Per-
sepolis had been by fire, and as the evi.
dences show that it was abandoned after
the fire, the scientists argued that there
was every reason to believe that whatever
treasure was in the subterranean maze
at the time Of destruction of Alexander
still remains there.
Immediately plans were made to shift
the expedition from Susa to Persepolis
and to open up the long-lost treasury.
The first work of digging has now been
begun according to recent cable des-
patches.
The ruins at Persepolis first to be ex-
amined were built upon a raised terrace
of smooth rock and masonry, covering an
area of nine hundred and forty feet one
way and fifteen hundred and fifty feet the
other. Here are still the mighty figures
of half-man and half-lion, guarding the
entrance to the columned hall. And here,
too, were no less than five palaces and a
great hall which once held hundred col
umns, ten rows of ten columns each, COW
ering two hundred and fifty feet square.
Some of the columns supporting the por-
ticoes were sixty-four feet tall, with cap
tals showing the forepart of a bull.
They were great architects in those
lays, and in the buildings they placed
decorations of figures of lions and archers
done in colored tiles, the beauty of which
remains even throughout these twenty
five centuries.
But architecture, great as it is and i'm
posing to the eye, was not all of the
achievement of the great builders of Per-
sia. Theirs was a civilization which in
cluded art and commerce as well, and the
world wants to know how they lived, what
they did, and whence came that almost
boundless wealth needed by these extrav-
agant monarchs to build palaces and tenn
Piles and adorn them so sumptuously as
they did. Upon the walls of their palaces
we see long trains of tributaries bringing
gold, ivory and skins of animals to these
monarchs, and some Of their gold and sill

ruins of Susa, the Summer capital
of Xerxes, Derius and other ancient
Persian kings, have unearthed clues
which point to the existence of vast un-.
derground passages and chambers be-
meath the ruins of Persepolis, some ninety
miles away.
Persepolis was the great capital Of Per-
sia at the time of these kings, and the
French archaeologists have reason to be-
lieve that if they can find this subterran-
can maze they will find within it uncalcul
able treasures hidden there twenty-five
centuries ago.
The destruction of Persepolis is one of
the great romantic tragedies of history.
When Alexander the Great was pursuing
his conquering course over Asia, he car
red with him as his companion and little
playmate a Greek Hetaira, a woman of
extraordinary beauty and temperament,
named That's.
After Alexander had conquered Darius
H., the last of Me dynasty of Xerxes, he
entered Persepolis and, as was the custom
in those days, the conquerors held feast
of victory Alexander and his lady friend
and his generals and distinguished guests
celebrated their revels in what was called
the palace of Xerxes, a truly gorgeous
place.
AS the evening wore on the strong
wines began to take their effect. That's
conceived the idea that it would be very
interesting to see how Persepolis would
appear when on fire. Alexander hum.
ored her. She seized a torch, he lifted
her in his arms and the courtesan set fire
to the hangings of the banquet room.
When the fire had burned itself out the
wonderful palace, its exquisite gardens
and smaller palaces, as we'll as Persepolis
itself, were in ashes.
No attempt was ever made after
ward to rebuild the city or to restore its
glories. Together with Susa, Persepolis
sunk into dissolution and ruin. Earth
covered it and the jackal and the wild
beasts of the mountains made their lairs
where the beautiful Persian queens had
slept It lay thus for hundreds of years

able amount of treasure. A great part of
this is now in the Louvre.
Archaeology had not at that time at
tanned anywhere near the thoroughness
that now marks it. The French merely
scratched the surface of the ground. They
made no attempt to dig under the palace
or to excavate the numerous mounds
which cover the ground around the palace
and dwellings. They had found what was
left of the actual structure which Alex
ander allowed That's to burn. The pill.
lars with their strange man-headcd bulls,
which you see on this page, are the actual
gateways of that palace. Between them
swung the immense doors of rare woods
and precious metals which gave entrance
to the hall

equipped modern expedition was sent out
from France to work among the ruins of
Susa. There they found the remains of a

GIBBS MoNocLE FoGGED.

Sir Philip Gibbs, British journalist, says
in New York he was told the people of the Mid
die West favor a policy of isolation for tie
United States, but while on lecture tour of that
section of the country ne found the information
was not correct Since it would hardly be polite
to tell Mr.. Gibbs that it is doubtful whether any
one ever told him any such thing, let US pass
that phase of the matter by remarking that he
would do better to associate with class of peo-
pie from whom he will not get such absurdly
ridiculous statements It is safe to say that no
person worth listening to ever told him any such
thing No one of standing ever proposed for
the United States policy of isolation. although
some II 600 900 Americans did vote. at the cleo
ton of 1920. for policy of independence.
In the same article in which the British ex-
ponent of the British point of view sets forth
the information given above. he says that he
finds general expression OF disappointment be

represented at the Genoa conference, and then
he takes crack at the United States senate for

doubtful. but if he mans cancellation of debts
due the United States he may rest assured that
the senate will continue to refuse to plunge
right in" However much disappointment Mr.
Gibbs may be able to find because of hesitancy
in going nto the Genoa conference. the election
returns will not record the defeat of any senator
because he looks twice before plunging in.
Over in England, Mr.. Gibbs is evidently
considered clever writer and propaganda, but
here in America he will get credit for being toe

putting it over. For example, he says that i

Mr. Gibbs is stating an absolute truth, but The
