DEPICTS
MARATHON RUINS
University Professor Uncov-
ers Ancient Village at Foot
of Mt. AgrieIiki.
BY the Associated Press.

ATHENS, October 9.-Prof G..
Sotiriadis Of the University Of Athens,
has just returned here with a descrip-
ton Of ruins Of the ancient village of
Marathon which he has discovered at
the foot Of Mount Agrieliki. about a
mile from the, noted mound under
which were buried the Athenians who
perished in the famous battle Of 400
B. c.
Describing his discoveries to a cor
respondent for the Associated Press,
Prof. Sotiriadis said that he had found
traces Of the village, which was one
OF four in the plain Of Marathon, just
above a narrow pass between the
mountain and a marsh.
Prof. Sotiriadis found an acropolis,
or fortified citadel, on the summit Of
Mount Agrieliki. The acropolis was
surrounded by a stone wall six feet
tick. Fragments Of pots Of classic
Hellenic form and some, thought to be
Mycean, also were found. Excellent
spring water was discovered within
the walls.
Below the acropolis were numerous
remains of a prehistoric, settlement
containing many tombs.
The site or the village or Marathon
communicates with the sea directly
by means Of an ancient canal which
entered a marsh, forming a good
harbor. On both sides Of this arti-
fetal waterway are Roman break
waters. The walls Of a mole were
visible beneath the water. This
structure Is believed to be the work
of Herodes Atticus. Near the canal
are the remains Of Roman marble
buildings.

PATIENCE OF SAAR
VALLEY REWARDED
Canadian Commissioner
Named by League, Brings
Smiles After Seven Years.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
SAARBRUCKEN, October 9.-The
Saar Valley is excited. The 100000
inhabitants of this dense industrial
zone. whom the Versailles treaty made
wards of the League of Nations, have,
after seven years of rather irritable
patience, begun to smile.
In the IS months since the corre-
spondent last visited this region a
complete change has occurred. The
first event was the departure of the
French president of the governing
commission. NJ. Rault, and the substi-
tuition by the League of Nations of
the Canadian, George Washington Ste
phens.
Wins Public Confidence.
Mr.. Stephens is the only one Of the
four foreign commissioners in whom
the populace has confidence. AS
president Mr.. Stephens has to steer a
close course, since it is his business
at the same time to protect the French
government mines and the German
inhabitants. How well he has succeed
ed is evidenced by the fact that since
his election to the presidency the bit.
ter newspaper attacks upon the COM
mission have lost their sting.
linen came the conversations at
Thoiry, with the suggestion that Ger.
many rebuy the mines and the Saar
territory be receded to Germany with
out plebiscite, cotemperaneously with
the evacuation of the Rhineland.
Then came the signing Of the
o-German-Belgian steel agree
ment, proving that international CO.
operation between neighboring and
hitherto hostile states was economi
cally possible.
The volatile Saarlanders, whose
steel producers are partners in the
agreement. began talking as though
liberation from French military occu-
patton and commission government
were only matter Of hours.
But the Thoiry conversations and
the steel agreement also have COM
PEELED the Saarlanders to consider GER
tain problems which hitherto have
remained in a kind Of twilight. Per-
haps the chief problem is what will
become Of the coal mines, by which
most of the population lives.
These mines belong to the French
state, but Germany has first repur.
chase right should the Saar again be-
come German, at a price fixed by the
Preparations Commission.

Congress is only two weeks off. That
startling developments are likely at

speeches of Trotzky and his opposition
associates last week. when at a meet
ing of aviation workers they made a
sensational attempt openly to under
mine the majority by pointing out to
the workers the evil policies of the
forces now in power.
Zinovieff's case is regarded as par
ticularly serious by the political bu-
reau because. despite previous warn

Occupy Historic Sites.

South Of the Patent Office. occupy
ing the block bounded by Seventh and
Eighth and F and E streets. is the
old General Land Office, originally
erected in 1S10-1912, for the General
and City Post Office, which it is pro-
posed would also be part Of the new
Municipal Market.
These two old buildings occupy ex-
tremely historic sites. Part of the
ground was the site Of the historic
Blodgett's Hotel, begun July 4, 1898.
from plans by James Hoban, archi-
tect OF the White House, as a lottery
prize to make money for building a
canal. In 1900 the first series of
theatrical entertainments ever given
IN Washington were there presented.
The upper stories housed the families
of artisans engaged. in building the
Capitol. In 1910 Blodgett's was pur-
chased by the Government and from
1872 to 1885 was occupied by the City
Post Office, and part of the time by
the Post Office Department and by
the Patent Office. 1t was saved from
the ravages of the British by DR.. VIII
liam Thornton, the first commissioner
of Patents. who designed the Capitol
Owing to the destruction Of the
Capitol by the British, when Congress
next convened September 10, 1914, it
occupied Blodgett's for brief period,
as memorial tablet shows.
Another historic site Is near the
middle of the Seventh street front of
the Patent Office. Here, before the
northern extension was erected, stood
two brick buildings occupied by the
Government as the city branch Of the
Post Office. In the upper story of
one of these houses was established
the first office in the world for re-
ceiving and dispatching messages by
magnetic telegraph. This location is
also marked by bronze tablet.

Removal of the Patent Office Build
ing, which is considered one of the
most beautiful buildings in the Ma
tional Capital, to Mount Hamilton,
tional arboretum at the east entrance
to the Capital and where it would be
used as a museum, is included in DR..
Tindalrs proposal.
1.-THE present site of the Patent Of
f1ce would be an admirable one for a
municipal market" DR.. Tindall said
today.
Would Transfer Building.
"The building now on it, while with
out a superior anywhere for archltec-
tural grace, is archaic as an accommo-
dation for modern official business. 1t
could be transposed to some public
space where it's magnificent lines and
proportions would be displayed to
advantage in more appropriate land
scape surroundings.
mount Hamilton, on the Bladens-
burg road, would afford just the facil-
tiles needful for its fitting display,
and at the same time derive crown
ing glory from the presence of such
a structure on it's top from which 1t
would be an impressively grand land
mark for miles around.
"It might be used there as a mu-
scum not only of samples OF patents
showing the progress Of invention, but
for other relics Of an entertaining and
instructive kind.
Calls Site Advantageous.
"The establishment of such a mar
ket at the present Patent Office site.
and perhaps also on the site of the
old Post Office, opposite, would not
only not impose a disagreeable en-
terprise in a residence locality, but
would be a benefit to the surrounding
property, which is Of a business char
acter, by bringing thereto large in
crease of business from the patrons of

Its accessibility by street railroads
is ideal, as it is approachable by
street railroad tracks on all four

animal drawn and motor driven, and

ARGENTINA DIVORCE
ROW ST|RS VATICAN
Church Feeling Also Grows
More Intense in Brazil
and Bolivia.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BUENOS AIRES. Argentina, Oc-
tober 9.-Although the long-standing
rupture between the Vatican and the
Argentine government over the ap-
pointment Of the Archbishop of
Buenos Aires has been settled salts
factorily, despite the Socialists anti
church campaign, there are indica-
tons that South America will con-
tinue to cause the Vatican uneasiness.
The progress women's rights and
Socialist ideas have made divorce one
of the most prominent questions In
South America legislatures and at
present a vigorous effort is being
made to introduce divorce in three re-
publics-Argentina, Brazil and Bo-
livia-with consequent bitterness be-
tween the church and the supporters
nf divorce legislation.
Brazil and Bolivia Involved.
In Argentina the divorce question
Is momentarily dormant because the
congressional session was terminated
before the project was forced out of
committee by the Socialists, but both
BraZil and Bolivia are on the verge of
serious religious conflict as result of
the divorce movements.
In Argentina the society women
have been stanch supporters of the
clergy in fighting proposed divorce
legislation, but the society women of
Bolivia shouted and stormed at the
bishop Of La Paz in good old suf-
Fragette style when he called them to-
k;ether and tried to win them away
{ron1 the divorce campaign. The
Sneeting terminated without decision
because Of their hostile manner. Four
ia Paz newspapers are supporting
The campaign for law permitting
divorce and they predict a bitter re-
sigious conflict because of the clergy's
opposition. A similar situation has
been reported from Brazil.
Church Majority i'm Argentina.
The church continues to maintain
o ma jority influence in Argentina and
SO far has been able to defeat the
projected divorce law every time 1t
was presented. The Socialists are
preparing to bring it up again next
session.
In Bolivia and Brazil the influence
of the Catholic church is waning in
so far as divorce is concerned. Uru-
ElIay is the only republic now grant
srg divorces and Montevideo has be-
come the South American Reno.
The other republics, however, do not
permit the remarriage of persons
divorced in Uruguay. AS some re-
puhics even refuse to recognize the
fruguayan marriage of divorced
parties. there are some serious inherit
ance problems arising.
Socialist Fought Nomination.
Argentina's immediate quarrel with
the Vatican was settled by a report
from Rome that the Vatican would
appoint as Archbishop of Buenos
Aires the prelate nominated by the
Argentine Senate just before its ad-
1ournment. The Socialists sought des-
perately to prevent the nomination.
The Vatican also announces that it
viii recall the prelate who has been
acting nuncio during the quarrel and
thus further unpleasantness will prob
ably be avoided.

that a particularly fiashy man had
stopped at my table as though to
speak to me and 1 had turned my
face away for fear that he would
obllge me to make some sort Of a
demonstration before he could be
persuaded to leave.
Frantically 1 looked about the
table and room, before 1 realized
how silly it was. for 1 knew posi-
lively that the man had taken my
bag.
Then it seemed to me that every
thing except despair had gone out
Of this world. 1 upbraided myself
for doing such a foolish thing as
drawing my money out Of the bank
and then forgot everything except
the fact that I was in a strange
town, penniless and alone.
Unsteadily. got up from the ia
BILE and made my way to the dress
ing room. 1 had grown panic.
STRICKEN az the thought that I had
no place TO lay my head that night,
for I did not dare go back to the
hotel and tomorrow morning have to
tell them that I had not a cent in

A feeling nausea crept over me
and 1 fell down in n chair. The

me and said:
