March 20 (By the Associated Press)--
Within the last month three big ocean
liners from the United States have
touched at Egypt, and swarms of AM
erican tourists have focked down to
the scene of King Tutankhamun's ter
restriel resurrection In the Valley of
thu Kings. American travellers who
heretofore have spent their winters In

On East Bank of Mic
Luxor is snugly situated on the east
bank Of the Nile, opposite ancient
Thebes, and has a population of 49,
600. Its chief attraction, apart from
the new royal tomb, Is the temple or
Luxor, built by the sovcreigns of a
forgotten age and, until 1890, buried
in the accumulated rubbish and mud
of centuries. A Mohammedan mos

latest product of their ingenuity is an
ivory figure of Tutankhamun which
is sold for dollar.
The men of Luxor go about in long
cotton cloaks and white turbans,
while the women wear sombre dresses
and shawls of deep black that cover
even their faces. The children of both
sexes ramble about the streets naked,

and the excessive heat. The only

Paris March 20 (By Associated

tendencies in France have, resumed
their agitation in favor of Nicola Sac

ed of murder at South Braintree,

the advance posters of which bear
the caption:

These posters declare that the

spite of the fact that one after an
other, the prosecuting witnesses have
retracted."
Sackening of the activities of the
workers and anarchists throughout
the world is generally denounced at
these meetings particular, stress be-
ing placed on the cases of Sacco and
Vanzetti and the sentence to hanging
of 172 peasants in India. The French
action in the Ruhr Is also repudiated
by the labor extremists.
