Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
ROME, July 5.-Encouraged by the
remarkable archaeological discoveries
made by Italians at Leptis Magma and
Sabratha, in northern Africa, a party
of Italian scientists, led by Dr. Ettore
Ghislanzoni of the Roman National
Museum, intends to begin large scale
excavations at Cyrenus, in the Italian
colony of CyrenaiCa.
Cyrenus. which has already given to
the world the marvellous Venus Andy
omene, now In the National Museum
in Rome, was the oldest and largest
Greek colony in Africa. 1t was built
in the seventh century before Christ
on the highest part of western Lydia
fronting the coast of Marsa Susa,
where the ancient port of Appolonia
was situated.
Excavations which were carried on
in Cyrenus 10 years ago showed that
the ancient city contained in excellent
state of preservation relics of all of
the epochs of antiquity. especially the
Hellenistic and the Roman. During
the Roman era the city was the capi-
tai of Crete and Cyrenus.

this respect Plausible step further,
too, since times without number have
men committed theft to make good
their losses great and small. Nothing
more of the commonplace, however,
can be expected from Z. Phillips OPP
penheim, and nothing more of that
nature follows.
In the Pharisaic phrase of the West
ern Christian, the term 'idoP' i'm
plies the East and heathenism. A
similar twist of mind permits this
Christian to loot the temples of the
heather, to break open their sacred
burial places and in other ways to
take on the role of vandal, all in the
selfassurance of complete moral recti-
tude. Only by such jugglery as this
can one see the hero of this tale as
anything but plain thief. That state
of mind achieved. however, the reader
is primed for all subsequent proceed
ings. The story sets off with a bang
on the coast of China, and from there
pursues it's way under a continuous
and progressive fusillade of sharp ex-
plosions that carry it clear across the
world and set it down in England
for its final demonstration. There
plots and counter-plots for possession
of the stolen goods cross and recross
one another. The subtle and occult
influence of the alienated and defiled
gods themselves works upon the very
natures of those struggling for their
possession. The crime of murder fol-
lows, and to the original confusion of
holding to the stolen idols is added
that of the discovery and pursuit of
this other sort of criminal.
Thirty novels have made prime
story teller of this author. Consis-
tency and plausibility are nothing to
him. Without these aids, so neces-
sary to the less facile fabricator, he
is able to spin gorgeous tales, with
out rhyme or reason, tales neverthe-
less that carry one along delighted at
being so openly. and even brazenly.
