The clause, framed solely with an
eye to the United States, proved serv-
iceable for the sudden dilemma. The
German delegates pledged a substitute
or substitutes for the Reichsbank.
The general opinion is that DR..
Schacht, the presidential bee buZzing
wildly in his bonnet, was playing per-
sonal politics. His action was entirely
independent of the German govern
ment, and highly incensed the German
delegation to The Hague; his explana-
ton thereof was sufficiently brief and
delphic-"on high moral grounds"
The situation having developed as set
forth above, the jurists Of the confer
ence got together and decided that with
the assent of the creditor governments
the Reichstag could put curb on Dr.
Schacht. The decision having been COM
municated to DR., Schacht. change
came over the surface of his dream. He
found 1t possible to waive his moral
scruples: the Reichsbank would sub
scribe; the comedy was over.
The agreement as to sanctions Is as
follows: Should the World Court, on
the representation of one or more of
| the creditor countries, decide that
Germany had wilfully defaulted in re-
| Spect OF her obllgatlonS under the
Young plan, the creditor countries
would recover full liberty Of action with
respect to the sanctions of the treaty.
1t Is thought that DR.. Schacht's be-
havior precipitated acquiescence OF the

Of it. That they knew considerable
about astronomy and geometry is GER
tain, both from the inevitable specu-

hood and from the knowledge of their
intercourse with Mesopotamia, where
astronomy and astrology are well
proved acquisitions. But neither the
date nor the precision of their science
can be ascertained.
There Is, however, no question that
scientifically the pyramid of Cheops is
the most carefully built of all the
pyramids. and that its construction is
marvel of engineering skill 1t is
also well known that Greek temples
and religious buildings in many lands
were faced toward the morning sun.
There is also no longer any question
archeologically but that all the pyra-
mids were built by or for the rulers
OF Egypt as tombs. The evidence that
such was their main purpose seems to
bulk larger as time and investigation
goes on.

FLOATING SHOPS OF CHINESE PEDDLERs SURROUNDED THE SHIP

spired the foreigners who traded with
China in the early days with pro-
found distrust of Chinese oficialdom.
After the so-called opium war in 1912
the British wrote into the treaty Of
Marking, which for the first time reg
ularized the trade of foreigners with
China, provision that British Offend
ers should be punished by British Of
f1cials according to British law. The
treaty of Marking also coded the Island
Of Hongkong to Great Britain, for
whom it was to become the great base
of operations for the Chinese trade.
In 1874 Caleb Gushing was sent to
China by the United States to negotiate
a commercial treaty. He elaborated
upon the British suggestion and secured
provision for full extraterritorial
rights. Not only were all Americans
accused of crime to be tried by Ameri-
can officials, but also all civil cases in
which Americans were defendants were
to be similarly tried. Cushing's idea
was to Offset the advantages obtained
by the British at Hongkong by making
traders subject only to American law in
China itself.

Phi. D., IL. D., Professor and Head, Depart
ment of Classics, N. Y. q.


There is tolerably long list of things
which must necessarily recur every
generation. Among these some have
the same fixed rising and setting as
does the sun or do the Pleiades. One
recurring subject takes as its object
the pyramids Of Egypt. The belief that
they. and especially the pyramid of
Cheops. the largest of the three in the
Gizeh field across the Nile from Cairo,
are more than mere Pharaonic tombs,
recurs more often than once every gen.
Grafton. The matter surges to the front
at least once every decade. Perhaps it
is not a recurrent phenomenon. but
belief that has never downed, and its
temperance is simply periodic state
ment or testimonial of belief
An EnRlishman OF repute Is the lat
est to state that the pyramids are not
simply mausolea for Pharaohs, but are
constructions for meridian purposes. In
calculating his point he reviews in what
way and to how great an extent the
ancient Egyptians had recourse to the
pyramids for their studies in astronomy
and rneterorology.
The idea is not a novel one. During
the 1898 expedition to Egypt scien-
tific commission worked out the tri-
angulation of the pyramid Of Cheops,
and discovered that it was marvellous
construction in its physical and mathe-
NAUTICAL aspects. Its four faces are
oriented toward the four cardinal points
of the compass. The angles are calcu-
lated with precision. A certain inner
shaft is so cut that the polar star at
time CAlpha of the Dragon constella-
tion) looked directly down 1t. A series
of geometrical relations seemed to in
dicate that the Egyptians knew the
value of the proportion OF the diameter
to circumference better than did the
Greeks.
At all events, we know that a great
literature has been produced by the
opponents of extreme beliefs, the one
that these mathematical relations are
divinely part of the music Of the
sphere and the other that they are
fortuitous. The two latest books Of
consequence on the subject are by
French and German authors: Moreux

was the confusion that efforts to rescue
her were unsuccessful and she was
drowned.
Chinese officials promptly demanded
the surrender Of Terranova for trial.
The American consul attempted to APP
pease them by the offer of liberal
payment to the family of the boat
woman, but this was refused. The
captain of the Emily declined to sur
render the sailor, but when the Chinese
merchants with whom he was doing
business were arrested and his trade
stopped he was forced to yield or bring
financial ruin upon his hackers. Ter
ranova was tried by Chinese authori-
ties on board the Emily itself and
found guilty. The Chinese then de-
manded his surrender for punishment.
Most reluctantly the captain yielded.
A few days later sinister process
sion was seen approaching the shore
opposite the ship. Hating. they pro-
ceeded to carry out the sentence Of
the court and strangled Terranova to
death in full sight of his former COM
panions. Chinese justice had found
him guilty of murder and executed
him for his crime!

disregard of laws in our past. To give

treaty by a process closely resembling
intimidation, the Chinese authorities
were not altogether reluctant to rid
themselves Of the hazardous business of
handling cases in which foreigners were
involved. They readily conceded extra
territorial rights to other nations as
they requested treaties until score
had obtained the privilege. In view Of
the universal contempt in which Chi
nese oficialdom held the "outer bar
barian" nations, there was certainly no
thought in the minds of the Chinese
authorities that they we're surrender
ing or impairing Chinese sovereignty
by making this arrangement.
During the remainder of the last
century there was little complaint
against the operation Of the extraterri-
toriality provisions. Under their pro-
tecting aegis an enormous foreign trade
was built up to the profit of Chinese
and foreigners alike, and modern cities
involving the investment of millions Of
dollars were constructed adjacent to the
great Chinese ports. Thousands of
foreigners, including 5000 or 5000
Americans, have shaped their lives or
invested their capital to carry on the

When's the Time to Quit?
BY BRUCE BARTON

He told me that he started In
a branch office of the company
as an accountant. Before long
he had made himself master of
one certain phase of the COM
pany's affairs.
He looked around him and
above him, and was discouraged.
Everywhere his way seemed to
be blocked by men who had been
there longer, but were young
enough so that they would be
active for many years.
One night he definitely decided
to look for something else. The
next day an officer of the COM
pany visited his branch, and
violent discussion ensued. The
officer upheld one side Of the
question, my young friend the
other. And my young friend
knew his facts; he was right.
The argument ended by the
officer asking him to come down
to New York "for a few weeks"
He has been there ever since.
II he had resigned the preeed-
ing evening, my young friend
would have missed his one great
chance.

OF war, EtC.
~ N misty morning in 1921 an
American sailing ship, the
Emily of Baltimore, nosed its
~ way up the Pearl River and
dropped anchor opposite Can
ton. Immediately it was surrounded
by small Chinese craft, the floating
shops of Chinese peddlers. who cried
their wares-everything from vegeta-
bles to carved ivory--to the Americans
on the ship. In their eagerness to win
a few coppers they stormed the gang
way, and two members of the crew
we're stationed there to keep them from
invading the ship.
Many of these petty merchants were
women, and one Of these succeeded in
reaching the gangway. She refused to
heed the statement of the sailors that
she would not be allowed on board,
probably did not understand 1t, and
attempted to force her way past them.
One Of the sailors, lad of italian
birth, named Terranova, tried to re-
strain her. In the good-natured scuffie
which followed the lady lost her foot

came to life Tuesday night and
knocked off the Toledo Hens, II TO

without a single miscue, while the

seven errors.
