civilization. Palaces and churches and tombs
of the early Christians have been brought to
light.
HTRACES of successive dynasties are not
lacking, for Samaria had a checkered
history. From the time of its capture by the
AssyrianS under Sargon about 722 B. c. to the
coming of Alexander the Great, nearly 400
years later apparently it never ceased to be
an important city. 1t was captured and de-
stroyed again in the second century B. c.,
with the result that evidences of its history
about that time are scarce but during the
Roman period it regained something of its
former glory.
AFTER the destruction Of the Roman city
Christian community continued to live on
this spot and recently we discovered, near the
ruins Of the palace of Herod the Great the
remains Of Christian church whose existence
had hitherto been entirely unsuspected. From
the evidence 1t appears to have been church
dedicated TO John the Baptist and the de-
capitated head of st. John was treasured with
in its walls for many years as one of its
greatest possessions.
"The shrine found there has been alluded
to by early pilgrims to the Holy Land in the
twelfth, thirteenth and fifteenth centuries,
whose descriptions of the shrine enabled us to
identify it with the one found in this newly
discovered church.
1--WE discovered also a marvellous fresco
depicting the beheading of st. John the Baptist.
Investigation showed that this church had
been rebuilt and renovated at various times
by the Crusaders, by the Greeks and by the
Latins
According to tradition, the finding of the
head was made clandestinely in circumstances
which, according to Prof j. w. CroWfoot, are
not likely to have been commemorated until
the fame of the relic was noised abroad and
its authenticity firmly established. Both archeo-
logical evidences and literary tradition are
vague as to the actual date of these happen
ings, but authoritative opinion places them
somewhere about the fifth century A. D.
These discoveries have confirmed in a very
wonderful manner the mythical greatness OF
the Israelitish monarchs; for instance, in the
vindication of the character of Ahab, who,

desert, he had found traces of successive civil
lizations, each of which had erected town
or city on the site. and each of which in turn
had vanished leaving only few ruined walls
and tombs to mark the scene of its former
splendors
CIVILIZATIONS, DR.. Masterman observed.
~ come into being. they flourish for
while then decline into inevitable decay. That
is what archaeology teaches us again and again.
None of them has survived, and even our
present civilization will one day follow the
footsteps of its predecessors and give place to
something different. 1t is fascinating hobby
to speculate as to what our next civilization
will be like-perhaps a civilization from the
East where the world was Graded"
One of the most amazing features of PaleS-
tinian exploration in recent years, however,
has been undoubtedly the explanation put
forward by several authorities to the marvels
and miracles associated by tradition and bibli-
cal lore with the exodus of the Israelites from
Egypt under the divinely inspired guidance Of
their leader Moses
Forty years ago Prof Sayre of oxford wrote:
1.-THE exact site of the Mount of God must be
left for future explorers to discover" Since
then many travellers and explorers have tried
to locate the spot. Among them have been
soldiers, statesmen. archeologists and British
secret service agents
Prominent among them was DR.. Alois MuSil
of Prague, but perhaps most famous among
those who have trodden these paths across the
desert to investigate the mystery of the Mount
of God" is the elusive Lawrence of Arabia,
whose work during the war took him over this
territory. He was followed by certain officers
of the British Army whose duties have in post
war years been the maintenance of law and
order in these areas. More recently the Rev.
W. j. Phythian Adams, M. A., d. S. O., M. O.,
has contributed the weight of his authority
on this subject.
Broadly speaking, the theory now gaining
ground is that the miraculous happenings
which befer the fleeing Israelites may be
explained by the geographical features of the
land.

according to biblical allusions was something
of a tyrant and always quarreling with the
prophets. These records show him to have been
indeed one of the greatest and most gracious
of the Israelite kings.
I'm addition to the discoveries at Samaria,
or Sebastia as it was called In later times,
recent excavations have brought to light much
that is new and confirmed ancient tradition
concerning the walled city of Jericho. These
latest efforts prove Jericho to have been a
mighty city when the Israelites overthrew it
and that it remained deserted city for CEN
turies afterward.
"The destruction of the city walls in the
late Bronze Age was followed by great con-
fiagration. The fire marks are plainly trace
able in each home of the city that has been
examined. In some the charred debris
discovered by the excavators was as much as
two feet thick We found burned beams and
palm fiber thatch, apparently from the roofs.
1t is clear too, from all the evidence that the
city was burned while in active occupation,
about 14O0 or 1900 B. c.
"It should be remembered that the excava-
tions in Jericho were made possible by the
generosity of two public-spirited men, Sir
Charles Marston and the late Lord Melchett.
Were it not for the lack of funds, which has
always been handicap, much more important
work could be undertaken, and who knows with
what astonishing results?"
NR MASTERMAN referred also TO other
- aspects of the work of exploration and
excavation in Palestine-notably to the mag
nificent accomplishments of that grand old
man of Palestine archaeology, Sir Flinders
Petrie, whose unflagging efforts and tireless
industry have contributed SO much to modern
knowledge of the ancient civilization of the
Holy Land.
just before his departure for Palestine, where
he is even now engaged in further excaVatory
work. Sir Flinders Petrie described to me some
of the more interesting features Of his work.
He told how under the soil of one OF the

ScoviIl Chief Used Influence to Have Discontinued Carrier Replaced Better Transportation As- sured Waterburians

which on January 9th removed the midday train from here to New York from the schedule has decid- ed to resume its former seryice on Monday. E. 0. Goss of the Scovlll Manufacturing company, q direc- tor of the New Haven road. and other prominent leaders in the city were responsible for this restora- ton of service, 1t is understood.
 Under the old schedule q train left here at 10:15 o'clock in the morning and by connecting serv- leo in Bridgeport the traveller arr rived in New York at 12:45 n. m. The old schedule also called for a train leaving New York at 10 o. clock in the morning which. by connecting service mt Bridgeport. brought passengers into Waterbury at 1928 D. m.
 Tn adopting new schedules on January 4th the New Haven road shifted the trains about 50 that the midday service between this city and New York was nt very in- convenient hours. Beginning with Monday tho service will be back on it's old standard.
 Tho action on the part of the railroad in making this change to meet the convenience of Water burians and persons in New York wishing to arrive here at noon was tho occasion of many expressions of satisfaction here in Waterbury today

 This is the starting text of an article by Howard w. ArmbruStcr, New York chemical engineer, which appears In the current issue of this national magazine. The Plain Talk article intimates that the nrch-ncnd who killed by the wholesale for a few extra dollara profit on his product made larg" contribution to tho administration war chest in 1928.

 It directly charges that Walter c. Campbell. chief of tho food and drugs bureau of the agriculture de- partmcnt. was asleep at the switch" or this deadly product could never have been labeled "U. $.

Springfield. I'll. Feb 12.--(UP1 Abraham Lincoln, if he should return to the earth to-day and be asked the primary reason for his nations present difficulties, would sum the cause up fin one word: Fear"
 The great emancipator's speech cs, letters. md actions. point quito clearly 10 the position he would take regarding the present de- prcssion. l imagine l hear him saying:
 My countrymen, though you seem to have great regard for me more than you had when l WIS living among you"~you arc forget ting the principles under which our country prospered.'
 What were those principles?
 Lincoln would explain that when the nation was young. our main oc- equation was agriculture. He would add that agriculture then was and still remains the founda- ton of industry.
 "Thc men on the land yaiscd the necessities of life and in good times or bad they were able to live" he would say.
 Lincoln probably would point out what he encountered In office.
 During the wnr. gold went to Il premium that took it out of circu. lution and financicrs were puzzled.
 Lincoln then had no friends he could send out 10 get Il few mll- lions but as last resort he issued "grecnbacks". Finaneicrs growled but he sent the printing presses to going.
 Greenbacks became a medium Of exchange among the people from coast to coast and helped 10 save the credit of the nation.
 But Lipcoln would not overlook the economic question. He'd ask:
 "How can my people have q de- precision in time of plenty" If asked for n simple formula to overcome depression. he'd say:
 "We won the war by everybody acting shoulder 10 shoulder nnd doing his duty"
 If Lincoln were here to-day, he probably would say. there arc too many persons shaking tho rope"
