VXTHAT promises to be a treasure house of Hit
w tite art has been discovered by the Syrian ex-
petition of the Oriental Institute the University
of Chicago. 1t is ancient ctysite in North Syria
believed to have been local capital of considerable
Importance in the Syrian-Httite world of 1000 B. c.
to 500 B. c.
DR.. c. w. McEwan, director of the expedition,
states that trial excavations the site already have
uncovered a royal palace and given indications of
other buildings A doube-ion column base already
unearthed, is regarded of the finest examples
of Hittite art yet found.
The expedition has been excavatng two ancient
mounds about midway between Alexandretta and
Aleppo in North Syria. In report to the institute,
DR.. McEwan relates how the site was discov-
cred.
The native foreman of the expedition was max
ing the mile ride into Antioch on his bicycle one
day last season when he noticed two carefully cut
blocks of basalt in the deep ditch beside the high
way" DR.. McEwan reports.
They were on the edge of a long, low-lying
mound called Tell Tainat The foreman expe-
renced enough in antiquity hunting to recognize
them important clews.
"VXTHEN the members Of the expedition investi-
w gated the mound they found huge column
bases of type characteristic of royal buildings Of
the late Hittlte period-after 1000 B. c. The natives
of the little village nearby had been digging for
ancient burned brick to fill depressions in the roads,
These clews seemed striking that Dr. McEwan
decided to carry further Investigations.
In the late spring" he continues, the Oriental
Institute therefore undertook twoweek dig at Tell
Tainat in cooperation with the Department of An
tiquities of the District Of Aexandretta, which was
represented by M. Claud FROST
The trial excavation proved very successful I'M
covering hilan' Syrian-Hittte palace which
showed three construction periods ranging from $50
B. c. to 600 B. c. There is promise of further build
ings for future work.
The Syrian-Hittite culture was composite Of
Hittite, Aramaean, Phoencian and Assyrian ele-
ments, fourishing in North Syria from about HOO
3. c. to the conquest of Alexander the Great
"TNHE discovery of local capital of this people
l. will bring new light to bear a most interest,"
ing period. The Oriental Institute hopes to return
to this site in the autumn for further excavation
The most striking single find in the palace was
double-lion column base, crouching lions whose
backs supported a column at the entrance to the
palace While column bases of kind or another
are of course, common in archaeological excavations
this is the first object of its kind found in this civ
iizaton and it has been pronounced one Of the fin
est specimens of Hittite art yet recovered"

At Kansas City, also, the Young

Ears Whispering Campaiqn

TN regard to Arthur w. Little, very much
i afraid there would be whispering campaign. 1t
would consist of the soto voce inquiry Who on
earth is hep"
The name of Senator Nye was included, 1 inn
agine merely so that Mr. Lucas could say he had
complete set of all varieties of Republicans Unless
there is some shift in temper between now and No
vember, 1886 Senator Nye is almost certain to be
in support of Roosevelt.
It would be unfair TO say that no public figure
OF ability has been included in the Lucas list. Sen
a-Or BOrah is without question a man of parts, but
it would be difficult to say just which sections OF
him are Republican. Throughout his long service
in the Senate the talents Of Borah have been en-
ployed almost entirely in dissenting attitudes. He
has been in frequent and fierce conflict with his
own partys policies
During the Bull Moose revolt he all but went over
to the enemy, but in the end he decided to retain
his membership in the orthodox congregation. And
yet at times it seems that Senator Borah frequents
the G.. o. P chapel largely for the pleasure he de-
rives in thumbing his at the current preacher
in the pulpit.
