ORDER RETURNS TO
ITS ANCIENT HOME
Knights Hospitallers Back
in Jerusalem.

Rising like stalwart sentinel from
one Of the hills of the Holy City
stands structure which turns back
the flight of time more than 800
years.
1t is the shelter which houses the
Order of st. John of Jerusalem,
founded about the year 1000 for the
protection of pilgrims coming to
the Holy land to visit the holy
sepulchre. Driven from the city by
the Saracens in 1887, they have re-
turned after eight centuries Of per-
secution and vicissitudes, and are
once again carrying on here the
service for which they were organ
lied.
For the Knights Hospitallers, as
they were then called, built in the
Eleventh century an establishment
known as the hospital of st. John,
which besides being a shelter for
pilgrims, provided accommodations
for lodging and caring for the I'M
fortunate and infirm.
Having as their motto, "Pro Eide,
pro Utilitate Hominum," the Order
of st. John of Jerusalem was one of
the first of the various orders of
chivalry and was in character part
ly religious and partly military.
When in 1887, the Saracens, un-
der Saladin, conquered Jerusalem,
the knights were turned out and fled
to Acre which later, after Rich
ard Occur de Lion had conquered it,
became known as st. Jean dAcre.
Here the knights established them
selves and the city became the most
important stronghold Of Christianity
in the East.
The knights remained for 100
years until they again came into
conflict with the Saracens, and
after suffering heavy losses, were
turned out. This time they fled to
Cyprus, where the king allowed
them to found convent and hos
pital-the chief house of the order
in Cyprus and the castle of Kolossi
which exists to this day.

to his scheme of conquering the
West. There followed period of

settle in Malta. Here they built the
city of valetta which became city

A branch of the Knights Hospi-
tallers had existed in England from
the Eleventh century, having as their
headquarters a priory in Clerken-

the only remains of the original
building today are to be seen in the

When Henry VIII dissolved all re-

disbanded. Queen Mary reassembled
them, but only for one year, as on
the succession to the throne of her
sister Elizabeth the order was again
dissolved.
Nothing further is heard Of the
knights in England until 1878. when
Queen Victoria again reinstated the
order by granting them a fresh
charter.

French, Bargaining on Eve Of
Arms ParIey, to Keep Eye
on Money Bags Of America
BY WILLIAM c. MURPHY. Jr.

BY WILLIAM G. MURPHY, Jr.
The coming conversations be-
tween President Hoover and Pre-
mier Laval, of France, are ex-
pected to center around the ex-
tremely practical question of how
many millions Cor billions) Of
American dollars will be neces-
Sary to induce France to take sub
stantial steps toward disarma-
ment.
France is generally regarded as
the keystone Of the European
military system which, according
to President Hoover, is draining
the nations Of that Continent to
the extent of about $4,000, 900, 600
o year.
Pace Up to France
France, with the largest mill
tary establishment in the world.
possibly excepting Soviet Russia,
with her subsidized Little Entente,
by which she has encircled the
former Central Empires with a
ring Of bayonets, must set the pace
in disarmament If the Geneva
Conference next February is to
bring any substantial results.
It is believed Mr.. HOOver's task
will be to convince M. Laval that
the economic recovery Of Europe
will be more valuable to France
in the long run than maintenance
Of the present French military su-
premacy.
French concessions in the direc-
ton of disarmament are believed
to constitute the only hope Of the
Hoover Administration to obtain
congressional approval Of adjust
ments Of international debts.
without q Difference
It has been recognized in Off
cial circles for some time that a
downward revision Of these obliga-
tions is almost inevitable for the
compelling reason that Germany
cannot continue her reparations
payments on the present scale af-
ter the expiration Of the one-year
moratorium.
While the United States has al
ways maintained that there is no
direct connection between Ger
man reparatiOns payments to
the allies and allied debt pay
ments to the United States, this
is recognized rs q distinction
without a difference.
In dealing with M. Laval on
the dual problems Of debts and
disarmament, Mr.. Hoover will be
confronted with the difficulty
that France is in a stronger econ
Omic position than other Euro
pean nations.
Hence her need for debt reduc-
ton is not so pressing. Moreover,
France Is scheduled to receive
more in reparations payments
from Germany than she is sched-
uled to pay to the United States.
