ton had been ousted from the threshold OF
Asia Minor: his sons lands had been invaded,
and Bagdad taken from his governor. All this
was clear challenge.
In May, 1899, he had entered Samarkand.
and in September he set out at the head Of
the army. For three years Samarkand did not
see him.
The situation confronting the Tatar con-
queror was peculiar. To reach his enemies IL
was necessary to move west more than q, thou
sand miles. Here the frontier OF the allies. as
It might be called. extended along an immense
half-circle from the Caucasus Mountains TO
Bagdad.
It was like very plant curved bow drawn
back to the limit Of ito arc. And the Tatar
was moving in from the feathered tip Of the
arrow toward the head OF the arrow and the
center Of the bow. Timur was moving west
very much as Napoleon moved east In the Sum-
mer Of 1913 against the half-circle Of allies.

although brilliant retreat TO Paris that over
threw the French leader and brought to an
end the First Empire.
Like Napoleon, the Tatar conqueror had the
advantage Of . veteran army, himself sole conn
mander, against o divided enemy. But the
country over which they Unanswered was not
the same ut all. Instead Of the level, culti-
waited lands Of Europe with their network Of
roads and open villages. Timur was faced by
AL Western Asia with its rivers and mountain
ranges. its deserts and marshes.
He had choice Of few routes, and, once
started along . certain road, he had to keep
going. And on these main caravan roads there
were fortified cities. each with its army to de-
fend 1t. Also, he had to march with an eye
on the calendar-to think Of crops and grazing
for the horses. Some countries were impossible
in Winter others forbidden ground In the hot
season. Napoleon himself was turned back by
one of these fortified cities, Acre, and the heat
Of the Syrian desert.
The dificulty Of this terrain was evidenced
by the checks suffered by the Allied powers I'm
its invasion during the Great War. The Rus
sian armies penetrated little farther than Ere.

forced to surrender near Bagdad In the south.

Archaeolo8Bts Probe CONSTANT
!: nople for Ancient Ruins

Constantinople, May R>-With
the facilities granted by the new
regime in Turkey, an increasing
number of foreign archaeological ex-
petitions are seeking the buried
marvels of ancient Byzantium which
lie beneath the busy streets of mod
ern Constantinople.
The last two years have seen the
British expeditions excavations of
the hippodrome, and this year a
Danish group is to dig for the famed
forum of the Emperor Constantine,
founder of the city.
Rising at the corner of one of
Stamboul's most crowded streets, and
almost enmeshed by telephone and
trolley wires, is the Burned Col
umn," the only mark now above
ground of the great forum. Using
this column as a point Of departure,
The Danes will delve for masterpieces
of sculpture which are believed to be
lying many feet beneath the modern
city's level.
The Burned Column" is one of
the chief sights of Stamboul because
of it's antiquity. having stood here
more than 1900 years, and before
that having adorned the Temple of
Apollo at Rome whence it was
wrested by Constantine to embellish
his new eastern empire capital.
Struck by lightning in the nth CEN
fury, and scorched by the great fire
which laid Stamboul in ruins in the
18th century, the shattered shaft of
marble remains reflection of a
great citys great past.

Mother Nature
Some American residents Of Ma
Mia who have lived here for years
say that the only drunken persons
they have ever seen here are newly

The Philippines are the only

Because the Philippines are legally
possessions of the United States. and
not territories. Hence the Filipino
legislature has the power to decide
whether such q law as the 18th
amendment should apply here.
The legislature decided that 1t
