Reports to the Department OF Agri-

farmers, many of whom were unable
to offer security for adequate bank
loans, was for feed and money to ship
live stock to sections less affected.
The Secretary plans to settle the
issue before leaving Kansas City for

Yale Undertakes
 New Excavations
Fer Work at Jerasl in Transjordania Started Under
 Direction of Prof Clarence s. Fisher

New Haven, Conn, June 29-Yale university onnounced yesterday that further excavations had been under taken at Jerash in Transjordania, under the directorship of Professor Clarence s. Fisher. The university also announced the results of exca- vations during the last season.
 Monuments remaining above ground and preliminary excavations completed havealready revealed the grandeur of the ruins of the classi- cal period, when Jerash was one of the centers of the Palestinian trade routs, the announcement said.
 Last year saw the completion of excavations at all the chief Chris tian sites at Jerash. This year the Temple off Artemis, with its Propy- laea and surrounding courts and buildings will be investigated. AL ready in classical times Jerash was a religious as well as a commercial center and. according to the univer- sity statement, a knowledge of its earlier religious history will go far to explain the background into which the early Christian church was introduced.
 Previous excavations uncovered some of theedifices of the early Christian period and revealed much of the history of Jerash in the first centuries of our era," the report says. "The last campaign brought into prominence the amazing wealth and strength of the early Christian church at Jerash. One great build ing period commenced after Con-

stantine's establishment of Chris tianity as the religion of the enn- pire, a second fiourished in the strong and prosperous period of Justinian. A whole series of churches was erected around the miraculous fountain whose waters turned to wine every year on the day of Epiphany-perhaps OH the very site once sacred to the infant Dionysus. In 464-5 A. D. the great church of the Prophets, Apostles and Martyrs was dedicated. In the sixth century a veritable frenzy of church-build- ing came over Jerash. In 526 a church was built in the southeast corner of the town, four more were completed before 533 A. D.. one which was destroyed. Shortly after wards the fine edifice of Saints Peter and Paul was completed in the southwest quarter of the city, and about the middle of the century the largest basilica in Jerash was erected in the forecourt east of the Propylaea which led to the temple of Artemis. The latest church built in ell A. D. was located near the west gate. These rdo not exhaust the list of Christian shrines in Jer- ash, but they give ample evidence of the wealth and importance of this trade-route before the Arab conquest when Syria was still the stronghold of Byzantine Roman wealth and culture, relatively un- touched by the inroads of barbar- isms in the west.
 Probably equally prosperous was Jerash in the classical period for 1t stood on the chief route from Egypt to Mesopotamia. a route defended by the Roman garrisons against the aggressions of the Parthians. Part of the main street with it's central fountain and its porticoes has been revealed. The present campaign will disclose part of the immense sanctuary of Artemis which domi- mated the city. Much more digging will be needed to complete the ex- cavation of this edifice and to lay bare the other classical monuments of this great site. When the work is completed, Jerash will be one of the most impressive of classical sites. Many mosaics and minor finds besides the architectural remains have been the rewards of past la- bors. In the future one looks for ward confidently to examples of classical craftsmanship. and to far more intimate knowledge of this district in Palestine in the period when the first Christians struggled to advance the new faith"
