League May Inter, vene if More' Fatalities Occur TKE FIGHTING which has been" ravaging the Iraqite border has resulted in a tragic sequel, according to a special dispatch to The New York Times. 200 persons who had nothing whatsoever to do with the rebellion were reported killed making the total number of lives lost 500. It is reported that the majority of those slain were Assyrians and that the actual killing was not done by Iraqite troops but by irregular police, mobilized for the uprising and with pronounced anti-Assyrian feeling. Geneva May Intervene In the meantime Sir Francis Humphrys, British Ambassador to Iraq is hurrying to Baghdad from Norway where he had been spending his vacation. At the present King Feisal is ill. Unless the killing of the Assyrians ceases, it is believed that, sharp criticism will "be provoked at Geneva inasmuch as the British confidence in the ability of the Arab Government to control its officials is regarded by the League to be "dangerously Optimistic." BRITISH BLAME KING FEISAL Say He Could Have Stopped Massacres; MacDonald Hurrying to London 03 FURTHER developments of the Assyrian situation, as reflected in New York Times dispatches, place King Feisal, who has already returned to his capital Baghdad, in a precarious position. Although it is admitted that news received by the London Times, "leaves scarcely any doubt that the Assyrian rebels who crossed into Syrian territory in July were entirely to blame for the col-t lissions of August 4 and 5," political circles- in London are of the opinion that King Feisal's weakness is much, to blame for consequent unfortunate developments. He is particularly blamed for failing to carry out an inquiry into the whole Assyrian situation before leaving for London. Feeling Changed Against Feisal . The high popular feeling, with which King Feisal was welcomed on, his visit there has given way to undisguised criticism and disappointment It is even wondered "whether * Feisal will lose his throne as Amahuilah did" So important is the Assyrian situation in the eyes of the British Foreign Office that Prime Minister Eamsy MacDonald, who is now vaca< tioning in Scotland, is hurrying to London to give it personal attention; in the absence of Foreign Minister Sir John Simon. * : ni Invasion of Asir Territory May Lead to War in Arabian Peninsula HOSTILITIES are said to have broken between Ibn Su'oud, King of Hijaz and Najd, and Imam Yahya of Yaman. Ever since the buffer state of Asir, lying between Yaman and Hijaz, was put under the protection of Ibn Su'oud in 1926, the territory, of Sabya on the southern borders has been a bone of contention between the two Arab potentates. According to a New York Times dispatch, the invasion followed a recent demand by Imam Yahya for the cession by the Wahhabi king of the former Idrisi territory. In 1930 this territory was definitely annexed by Ibn Su'oud. Negotiations Fail Negotiations for a settlement, opened some time ago in San'a, the Imam's capital in Yaman. A Wahhabi delegation was sent to the Imam and received in friendly fashion until the Imam's1 illness, after which his disposition was said to have changed completely. He kept the delegates as virtual prisoners refusing them communication with their government. A breach now seems inevitable unless the Imam withdraws his troops from Sabya. Ibn Su'oud is reported to maintain a conciliatory attitude. DROWNED BODY BROUGHT HOME THE BODY of Fred Karam, 19, who was missing since last Sunday when he had gone swimming in Coney Island, was found Wednesday morning after a continuous search by the coast patrol, and brought to his home at 327 Henry Street, Brooklyn. A poor swimmer, Karam was feared drowned by his family after a futile anxious wait all day Sunday. His clothes were still in his locker in the Jefferson Baths, 33rd and Surf Avenue. He was lost track of by his friends with whom he had' been bathing and .they were unable to tell how he was drowned. Funeral services will take place this afternoon at St. Nicholas Cathedral, State and Bond Streets. SYRIAN KILLED • IN GANG FEUD WORD has just been sent to this office of the slaying of Ferris J. Anthon, 34, Syrian of Kansas City, Mo., also known as Tony Anthon and Tony Kansas. Anthon was felled by 8 bullets believed to have been fired by a member of a rival gang as a result of. a recent flareup. Anthon was termed the "most frequently arrested man in Kansas," and made $500,000 in only a few months when he moved his bootlegging business to Chicago.

GEORGE HAICK KILLS MURDERER HAS P0UCE~REC0RD CLAIMING SELF-DEFENSE EMPTIES GUN AT ABRAHAM GANTOUS. HAICK ARRESTED FORMERLY ON NARCOTIC CHARGES LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 11.— Abraham Gantous, 48, of this city was fatally shot by his cousin, George Haick,-44, in West Jefferson Street last night, (Thursday) at 6 o'clock. Philip Gargotto, 55, a friend of both, was wounded in the left side. COREY AGAIN ESCAPES NOOSE Murderer of Two Women to Plead Insanity in New Trial; Third Time Hanging Is Postponed CHARLESTON, W. Va., Aug. 15.— A writ of error stayed the execution of Joseph Corey who was sentenced to hang a week ago, Friday, August 1 1. It was granted him by Judge M. Litz of the Supreme Court, two days previously. Corey, who had been sentenced to hang for the murder of Mrs. Katherine Ghiz had also been indicted for the slaying of his estranged wife, Mrs. Ada Ghiz Corey, but was not tried on that count. He shot and killed both women in a confectionery store in this city in July, 1932. First Date for Execution The first date for execution by hanging was set for June 23 but Governor Kump of West Virginia granted a stay until July 28 to give the condemned man's attorney's time to present their plea for commutation of sentence. He then again granted another stay, until August 11, but beyond that refused to extend any further leniency in commuting the sentence. He stated that Corey's attorneys had pleaded insanity but that physicians who had examined him reported that he was not insane. The present writ of error, granted by Judge Litz, has been refused by the court, according to the Charleston Gazette, but the judge had not been present at the time it was pleaded for. He was still on vacation) when it was taken to him and granted. Judge Litz made no comment on his present decision. The case will probably be up for argument before the Supreme Court on September 12, when the defendant will again plead insanity., Physicians during the last few weeks have been, examining Corey, and presented their verdict that resulted in the governor's refusal to grant clemency. Corey Over-Joyed Asked to make a statement on, the writ of error granted by Judge Litz that automatically stayed the execution, Joseph Corey in the death cell in the Moundsville, W. Va. penitentiary, was "too excited to talk," he declared The warden reported that the prisoner was overjoyed at the stay. He was moved immediately from the death cell to another wing in the penitentiary. Haick claimed self-defense. He reiterated that he was glad he shot his cousin and hoped he would die, but that he. was sorry he wounded Gargotto. Gantous was taken to the City Hospital where he died at 7:35. The attending physicians said that the three bullets entered his right side, passed through his body and lodged in his left arm A blood transfusion after his removal to the hospital proved useless. Murderer in Vindictive mood The murderer told detective Sergeants Henry Biebel and H C. Griffin, members of the homicide squad who had come upon the scene and taken away the revolver from his hand without effort, that he "wished the first bullet had gone through his heart; I hope he dies; I'm not sorry: he deserves to die." Haick is the proprietor of a meat market in 113% West JeffersonStreet. . He said he had brought Gantous from Mt. Pleasant, Pa., where he is married and has eight children, to work in his store, several weeks ago. At the time of the murder the victim was living at Haick's home. Gantous was about six feet away, Haick told the detectives, and that his cousin had his hand in his pocket and was approaching him in a threatening way, whereupon he fired. Gargotto said that he and Gantous were on the sidewalk discussing a fishing trip when Haick suddenly fired. Other witnesses said that Haick fired without provocation, six shots, two of which went astray. Haick told the detectives that although he had so generously given Gantous work and lodging, Gantous had abused Haick's wife, daughter and sister after "doping," their food and that he had stolen money from the store. Arrested on Narcotic Charges According to the Courier-Journal, Louisville, police records show that Haick was arrested in Louisville in 1924 and 1927 on charges of violating Federal narcotic laws, and that he served a term in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta. He was arrested in Louisville six times since 1927 on charges of gaming, disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct.

FEAk LOBS Of FEESTIGE POB PBSSTBOOD m LEBANON (Special Correspondence to AL-HODA) BEIRUT.— The bitter controversy between Bishop IKya Saleeby, assistant to Metropolitan Garanmos Masarrah, and his Beirutian Creek Orthodox constituency hat culminated in violence, the bishop himself falling victim to die wrath of the disaffected dioThe controversy began a few months ago when followers of Bishop Saleeby in Suq-al-Gharb beat up Rene Sursuq, prominent Orthodox citizen of Beirut Attempts at reconciling the bishop with Sursuq resulted in failure. Feelings were still at high tension when Bishop Saleeby, a few weeks ago, insisted on carrying on the election of a laymen's commission said to be favourable to faun. It is reported that in spite of a promise to Patriarch Alexandras Tshhan to postpone the election to a more propitious time, Bishop Saleeby went on with it after his return from Damascus. For days Beirut was buzzing with heated comment and controversy over* the regrettable incident. In some circles it is regarded as another indication of the trend of the time and the low of prestige of the clergy in a country where they had exercised great influence and authority. That a bishop in his ecclesiastical robes and while officiating at mass was beaten in the confines of the sacristy is an offense that has no parallel in the memory of people in this city.

Atmosphere Tense latent an Holding Mass The atmosphere was electrified with feelings of enmity and grudge. The church was filled to capacity, and many of the "strong men" of Mazra'ah had gone there with no intention of worship, but to make trouble. As Bishop Saleeby entered' the sacristy and mass was opened, some of the "strong men" of Mazra'ah came forward. The bishop's' drago-i man tried to hold them back, and a fight started. In the midst of the confusion which followed, someone from tiie crowd, who was identified as Nicola Nimr Majdalani, rushed forward and dealt Bishop Saleeby a heavy blow with a stick. The bishop fell down unconscious and was immediately carried out with a four inch cut in his forehead. It was said that had it not been for the mitre, the blow would have been fatal Offender Arrested, Released The offender was arrested before he had chance to leave the church, but on order of the assistant commissioner of police, Michael Milkie, who was in command, was released at once. As an aftermath of this trouble, the assistant commissioner lost his position, was put under arrest and confined to prison. Two days later, al-Majdalani and two of his accomplices surrendered themselves to justice, *-• PROF.

A football team has been organized under the club and has done creditable work in various meets with existing Canadian teams of much greater experience. The archbishop's visit was made the occasion for a reception at which His Grace was guest of honor, and which proved an unqualified sucSpeaking on behalf of the club and expounding its aims before him, Elias Karem emphasized the assimilation of the best elements of Syrian personality with similar elements in other nationalities. "The Syrian Canadian Club of; Ottawa," declared Mr. Karem, "is a non-denominational association of; Syrian youth seeking for its goal, in part, exactly that atmosphere which your presence produces, but with an all-year permanence. It will seek to instill in the hearts and minds of our growing youth those elements of our Syrian personality that are desirable and allow them to be intermingled with the best of those attributes that are deemed most desirable in other nationalities we come in contact with in the course of our Canadian life. It will seek to awaken in the hearts of the descendants of the Syrian Canadian pioneers those traditions for which the latter resisted oppression, emigrated to a new and unknown world and suffered untold hardships." Make no Religious Distinctions In aiding the Syrian Orthodox Church in Ottawa, continued the speaker, it will do so "not because it happens to be the house of worship of a certain portion of this community, but because we take pride in it as a Syrian institution, the product of Syrian ingenuity and effort We will do the same for a Mohammedan,' a Catholic or a Protestant institution if it were a source of pride to our Syrian racial traditions." Depicting the conditons which gave rise to the Syrian Canadian Club of Ottawa, and which differ little from conditons confronting the second-generation Syrians and Lebanese throughout the United States as well as Canada, its spokesman pledged his club to the obligations and duties LEBANESE RUNS MEX.

Signs of Decay Noted "Already," said the speaker, "we are witnessing the signs of moral decay in our second-generation due to the neglect of such obligations and such moral duties. Already we witness the pitiful sight of young Syrians showing inclinations to associate with and copy even the scum of other races, too embarrassed to own up to their own nationality when the occasion is forced upon them, nay even, banging their heads almost in shame when somebody identifies them with the Syrian race." The speaker went on to urge Archbishop Victor to proclaim the message of the club wherever he went and to those who are similarly associated to extend its greetings and encouragement. "But to those who have yet to awaken from their lethargy, our hearts as our voices go forth: "'Arise and follow the standard. Let not the spark die out with the passing of our pioneering forebears!'"

AN INFANT immigrant from a little town in Kura two years of age, Jacob Simon is now a power in the industrial life of Mexico, a pioneer in the national life of the sister republic across the Rio Grande. Stocky with graying black hair indicating his age in the middle forties, with firm lips and a smile of expansive good nature, Senor Simon is a picture of determination and goodwill. You would hate to be his business competitor, but will rest assured of his friendliness and loyalty if you are on his side. Reluctantly and modestly, and with no little prompting from an admiring friend of this city, Mr. Said Harfoush, we elicited a romantic and picturesque story of the meteoric career of Simon Jacob, premier industrialist of Mexico, as he paid us a brief visit to this office accompanied by his daughter, Senorita Nellie. He is in this country on business, to buy equipment for a newlyfounded industry, one of a string of such industries already to his credit Simon Develops Industries Everybody in Mexico City, from the President down to the humblest Indian peon, knows Senor Simon. His group of office and factory buildings on Cappuchina Septima is an industrial landmark in that capital. The group, comprising 148 offices and 34 plants, is over a square city block. Six district industries are housed in this block. One of these is a razorblade plant with a capacity of 50,0<5b blades a day. Other products which bear the Simon stamp and are shipped everywhere in Mexico, and South America are combs, fountain pens, said to be equal to the best produced in America, building materials, celophane and amunitions. Among the building material products produced in the Simon! plants is a patented cement airblown brick especially suited for tall buildings in Mexico City and other places where a substratum of rock, as we have in New York, is lacking. Perhaps the most romantic chapter in the industrial career of our Mexican compatriot is the one dealing with the development of electric lamp bulbs, and which led to his bucking of the great General Elec•tric Company of this country. States, France and Germany. Realize mg the highly technical nature o£ this industry, and the great engineering preparations which it entails, he sailed to Germany where, for a whole year, he made an intensive study of this industry in the famous Osram plants in Berlin. Fully equipped he then sailed back to Mexico, imported the necessary machinery and started with a few thousand bulbs. In time his new plant separately built on the outskirts of the city, had a capacity of 25,000 bulbs a day of various sizes and candle powers. Competition with the outer bulb manufacturing companies, especially the General Electric Company of Schenectady, led to law-suits in which Jacob Simon won. Subsequently he sold to* plant to the General Electric for 500,000 with the option of keeping a stock of 2,000,000 bulbs. Due to the failure of the General Electric Company to abide by its promise to buy the plant it was said, Jacob Simon has decided to start operation again on a scale of 10,000 bulbs a day This decision has now carried him to New York once more for the purchase of new machinery and Plant equipment He is now staying at Pennsylvania Hotel, where he wul remain a few days more. Before going back to Mexico he plans to visit the Century of Progress Exposition. He will find there exhibits of the latest and most advanced industrial inventions, and maybe get an inspiration for ahother industry to introduce to his land of adoption. Simons Wefl-Known in Mexico The Simons are a well-known and established family in the MexicanRepublic. His brother, Senator Najeeb Simon is an influential lawyer and a Personal friend of former President Plutarcho Calles. " Jacob Simon has given liberally of his means for educational and philanthropic projects in Mexico and in the country of his birth, Lebanon. In the little town of Aba, Kura, in a spacious ground outside of his former hometown, a large, modern high-school, endowed by Jacob Simon, stands today as a memorial to the philanthropic and patriotic spirit of the premier industrialist of Mexico, the former Lebanese subject from the little town of Aba.

Mokarzel, and sponsored by the Lebanon League of Progress of New York-and ALHODA, has in four years firmly established itself as a national institution in the life of the Syrians and Lebanese in America. The It is therefore not enough to nurse the! racial consciousness and accentuate the racial differences without first taking firm grasp of those racial traits and characteristics which should be selected for preservation and expression in the composite body politic. We note with regret that often this consciousness in our younger Syrians is emotional, with little content to it. There is not enough earnest effort to study history and culture of the ancestors they seek to pride themselves in. They seem to be content with a little muttering of general history such as that the Phoenicians discovered the alphabet and were the greatest sailors of the ancient world, or that Arabs contributed a great deal to the renaissance of European learning and arts.

But it is more a pity when they could be so easily avoided. Swimming is in truth free insurance for which we have to pay no premiums and which, once acquired, is almost impossible to lose.

V Living Proof that Nobody Knows Where Liberalism May Sprout and Take Root" We could foitilr of other names also. The author calls his own book, which ran serially in al-Hilal Magazine, "al-Ayyam" (Days), obviously not an appropriate name for English translation. The title chosen by the translation is apt and expressive. Title aside, this is one of the most significant, gripping, graphic autobiographies of our day and generation. No reader of this paper, young or old, liberal or conservative, Christian, Moslem or Jew, who has any serious desire to be posted on what i* going on in the Near East today can afford not to read it It should be in the library of every city, town or hamlet wherever Syrians are to be found in this country. There is no modem Arab who has attracted more attention and aroused more interest among students of the Near East than Dr. Taha Husein, the author of this autobiography. Blind from childhood, sprung from the soil of peasant Egypt weighed down by odds of natural and social handieaps that would have dragged down more fortunate ones, he. rose meteor-like to become the dean of the College of Literature at the Egyptian National University and standard-bearer throughout the Arabicspeaking world of modern, scholarly criticism. Born in Maghaghah, a little town in the district of Minia of Upper Egypt in the year 1889, Taha had to contend against limitations and inhibitions of all sorts, heightened by his blindness, which was due to ignorance and neglect in early childhood The autobiography traces the poignant memories and impressions of this restricted, but not always unhappy, life up till the blind lad entered al-Azhar Mosque University in Cairo at the age of thirteen. It is written in the third person in the form of a narrative addressed to his little daughter. The earliest reminiscences of our hero are of a yard fence that seemed to have shut him in from the rest of the world, and turned him on a world of his own imagination. "However," he writes, "if there has remained to him any clear distinct memory of this time about which there is no cause to doubt it is the memory of a fence which stood in front of him and was made of maize stems which was only a few paces away from the door of the house. He remembers the fence as though he saw it only yesterday. He remembers that the stalks of which this fence* was composed were taller than he was, and it was difficult for him to get to the other side of it " Taha's village home was typical of most Egyptian fellah homes. There was the canal from which the village women went to fill their jars; there was the jshadouf to draw water from the canal for the cotton fields; there was the village poet around whom old and young gathered to listen to the exploits of Antarah, of Abu-Zaid, Diab and Khalifa and of King az-Zahir Baibars who conquered the Crusaders; there was the old grandfather incessantly reciting the Qoran, the talkative women telling the Ifolk-tales of the race, singing the peasant folksongs and repeating the familiar dirges at funerals. And there was the typical school-master, "Our Master," a rapacious, greedy old-fellow fond of singing and not over conscientious in his pedagogical duties. It is a fascinating story to be appreciated only when read in some cozy comer, under a shady tree or in the quiet of night at bedtime. Little did Taha dream, even after his day of triumph had come, and his father decided to send him to al-Azhar in the company of his elder brother, that his retentive Wmory for folk-tales and songs was his best early asset as the future premier critic of Arabic hterature. The Alfiyyah of Ibn Malik, the grammer. text-book in verse still, currently used hi backward native schools, which it was his envy to memorize as his brother did before him, was only one of a- series of disillusions which the growing, avid youth discarded in his passionate pursuit of true learning.

M �m THE PLACE OF TRADITION IN NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS By R L K*tibah THERE broods over the whole Orient today a titanic struggle between two forces of life which! have always acted in the evolution of the world as two magnetic poles. Hitherto, the magnetic field in the countries of the Near and Far East had been somewhat dormant. Mysterious forces, gathering up dynamic energy for the last hundred years or more broke out all of a sudden after the World War. It is as if an electric current from outside had touched the magnetic field and livened up the activities of the human particles in two oppcsitie directions. It will be perhaps another hundred years before something of a new design, a new arrangement of human values and ideals will take definite shape. The.Oriept today is engaged in a far-reaching warfare between the old and the new, between tradition and progress, between conservatism and liberalism, between the forces of conservation and tiie forces of creation. , If we were called upon to take sides in this warfare, it is hardly necessary for me to presume that most readers of my column will declare themselves openly and unequivocably on the side of the hew and liberal, on the side of creation and progress. Therefore it seems hardly necessary for me to defend that side. Our sentiments, and rightly so, are on the side of men like Mustafa Kemal Pasha, Riza Khan Pehlawi, General Chiang KaiShek, Hu Shih, the great Chinese modernist, Dr. Taha Husein, a review of whose life the reader may find in another column of this issue, Ameen Rihani and many, many others who have taken up the fight on the side of the forward-looking forces of life. We need no argument to convince us that the harem institution should pass away, that capricious divorce by the almighty male should be done with, that autocracy has no more place in the world we are living in, that unquestioning submission to authority does not fit in a world ofi , scientific curiousity and empiric reasoning, that religious dogmatism should not dominate our political and social order in a blind and arbitrary fashion. But it is one thing to give our undivided allegiance to these things, and another to blind ourselves against all that is good, beautiful and of permanent value in the past. In my book-in-themaking I have given expression to this timely warning when, speaking of Jerusalem as the symbol of the isolated and irreconciled past, I said: "A liberalism which will merely rationalize eway the mystery of life and man's real vocation and destiny; a realistic dogmatism that will flip away all things considered sacred and eternal because they are not amenable to demonstration by microscope and test-tubes; an impatient radicalism that has no time for the jibberish talk of ponderous theologians, but lends'an over-indulgent ear for the (jibberish chatter of imponderous materialists—all these have to remain outside the walls of ancient Jerusalem." The solicitude for the past that we are here calling for involves many difficulties and many problems. We are not substituting one attitude of irrational reverence for the past for an attitude of complete and prejudiced indifference. Rather it is a question of adjustment and interaction, of, what and how much of the past should be incorporated in the present, what, element should be conserved and what and how much of it should be relegated to oblivion and the mercy of Allah Tradition in the building up of a new culture should act like a ballast, not too light to be of no effect on the course of the ship, not too heavy to retard its progress. Prof. Hocking formulates this principle in his own words when he says in his book, "The Spirit of World Politics:" "Yet, if Islam vanishes from the Arab regions without leaving any. equivalent of human dignity, horizon and hope, the cultural result will hardly be other than a modernistic cross-breed, which might as well be hatched under European feathers as under any other." And what Prof. Hocking says of Islam is true of all the old traditions of the East Like Jacob and the angel of God in the biblical story the forces of the present, in their struggle with the forces of the past, must not let ga of them till they give them their wholeheartedMessing.

All we know about Amos Is from his own little prophetic rhapsody that bears his name. But we learn enough from it to reconstruct a most amazing personality, colossal and fearless, denouncing kings and priests, sweeping kingdoms and dynasties before his withering, audacious wrath. To superficial readers of the Bible, Amos is just one of the "twelve minor prophets." Few perhaps read him with enough concentration and interest to discover between the lines the great spirit that started one ofl th most stirring moral revolutions in Jaistory. Far from being a "minor prophet," he is one of the trulymajor ones not only in the history of the Jews, but among all the nations of the earth. He is the first Hebrew prophet to write down his prophecy, and there is strong evidence that he became a model to all the great Hebrew prophets that came after him. Strange enough Amos himself; rather resented the appellation of '"prophet!" When the high priest Amaziah contemptuously told him to go back to Judea whence he came L SURGEON JOSEPH A.

He knew not what it means to bow the head before spiritual or temporal authority which had forefeited its inherent right for respect and submission. To him religion was first and foremost righteousness. Everything else was empty words, empty forms and a mockery in the eyes of God. Some inner compulsion of a higher source than that of king ox* priest had gnawed at his conscience and made him throw his shepherd's staff and travel to Bethel, then the capital of the Kingdom of Isreal. Therein his uncouth shepherd's domes, his homespun aba, his faded 'headgear, his heavy dust-covered' sandals and his leather belt drawn; tight over his baggy, flowing garb, he stood in the city square where passing city folk stared at him askance. But he had only to open his mouth, and a cataract of mighty words flowed fluently from it, a flame of fiery eloquence that consumed the rottenness, hypocrisy, . greed and heartless indifference of the highfalutin city people. Those who stared with curiosity as they passed, stopped to hear, were hypnotized by the power, of the man that spoke with an authority but "not like the scribes and Pharisees" of his day.

Amaziah, shaken with wrath, hastened to drive the self-styled, prophet to his little hometown. Instead of silencing, the words of the hiigh priest aroused Amos to even more bitter and pointed denunciations against the high priest, king and their court coteries. The kingdom of Israel, after the secession of the southern kingdom, had prospered and grown fat with worldly gain. A long period of peace with its neighbors had brought wealth and position to the few, poverty and degradation to the great majority. The common people were oppressed and victimized by the wealthy traders and landed gentry. The peasant was driven to the wall by usury, and political favouritism. Israel hadt forgotten its moral bearings, the rugged foundations of its nationalism. The lesson of moral fortitude which. their forebears had learned in the wilderness, and the bitter experiences which had welded the nation had been forgotten by a generation of effete revellers and court sycophants. Religion had been degraded to a system of empty ritual and sacrifices from which the spirit of true piety) had fled away. The prophets of the day had become schools of ecstatic dervishes with no message to the people. That is why Amos resented to be counted among them. The shepherd of Takoa knew all this. He knew more. With the per-, spicacity of a true seer the clear, mirror of his untarnished soul reflected the events of the day. At the time of his (historic stand in the city square of Bethel, he could see beyond the horizon of Israel and Judah.

But Amai had a quite different and disquieting interpretation of this same doctrinal principle.

We could no longer count on her to come to our assistance. Patience was the order of the day. Our hereditary enemies held undisputed sway. We were forced to bear withj them—even to welcome them with what dignity we might when they entered our villages. A sort of truce of God) reigned at that moment between Christian and Mussulman. Nothing not even the hatred of the hotblooded Boutros, must be allowed to endanger it. The proud cortege halted near us, dismounted, and spread their carpets and luncheon baskets on the grass. Their arrival had been followed with breathless interest by the group of young girls. I was rejoiced to notice that Yamile alone seemed indifferent. She even seemed vexed that the general attention was diverted from her by these new arrivals. The displeasure of her lather, the sheik, was more strongly marked. He beckoned to a man of 'his own age who made one of a party near by, and whom I recognized as a Maronite of the Akkar district, often among our people on business. I caught a few words of their whispered conversation: "Yes, they are Mohammedans, from my own country. A very good family: both are beys. The one in) violet is called Omar-bey-el-Hussein; the one in red, Abdulrajakbey-el-Osman. They must have lost their way. No—they wish no harm to us Christians. We are on the best of terms down there. It is not like your own valley." Our valley of the Kadischa is the tabernacle of the Maronite faith, the citadel of Lebanon. It is inhabited by Christians only. A Mussulman could not live among us. But it is not the same in the Akkar country. The country of Akkar, north of Tripoli, is a land where the land slopes gradually from the mountains to the sea. The foothills form a terrace commanding a vast plain whose fcvheat, barley, and Indian corn are the finest in Syria. It is a veritable granary from which the coast towns draw their supplies. I had been ther^f once to buy a horse, Exclusive Serial Rights Secured by THE SYRIAN WORLD and remembered it as a strange mixture of steep rocks and gardens fragrant with oleanders. The Akkart country raises a breed of horses, hardy and of incomparable shape. In its higher valleys the women weave coarse red carpets, with a border of flowers. I had been there only once, but I was fated, for my own sorrow, to return] soon again. No doubt it was an agreeable surprise for the two young beys from Akkar, as they ate their ntaonono and drank their filtered water, to watch our young maidens. I strove not to appear jealous at their frequent glances in our direction, the more so as the less discreet of the two, the bey in red, seemed captivated by the round cheeks and childish airs and graces of little Mountaha. The bey in violet, after a close inspection of our group, raised his eyes to the tops of the cedars, and seemed lost in a reverie. Suddenly his dream seemed to vanish and a new enchantment to lake its place. His eyes dilated. A sudden flame appeared in them. I watched them for a while, fascinated at the extraordinary change. They were not black, as I had at first thought, but brownbrown specked with a gold that seemed to prevade the entire pupil. Their glance was as direct as a bent bow from which the arrow is about to fly. They desired, exacted, demanded. They gave their orders from a distance, or rather, they seemed to have the power to attract, dutch, despoil, and possess, as though from them radiated some magic spell, which nothing could escape. It was the flame of desire that consumed this man, visible from afar, like a fire at night I could not mistake it Had I not felt it myself, not so long ago, on one winter evening when my blood seemed suddenly to catch fire on the snowy road? And, even as I looked, the bey's glance lost its imperious violence, ' changed into a sorrowful yearning, a passionate supplication. That change, too, I had known. No chance of mistake for me. Nor did I need to conjecture long on whom that glance was falling. This infidel dog dared to desire my bride, and to make his desire plain. Well—he should reap nothing from it but confusion and shame. The homage of a Mussulman for any Christian, maiden was a humiliation, much more so for a girl of good family, who knew the history of her race, and who shared the accumulated hate earned by centuries of war* and massacre. I had no fear—nothing but the same secret feeling of irritation which the priest's words on the whiteness of Yamile's skin had given me. Why should I fear? Was not a gorge ten times deeper than the gorge of Kadischa there to protect me? An abyss created by a past whose origin was lost in the mists of time and whose heirs we all were? Turning to Yamile from my bitter contemplation of the horseman in' violet I watched the calm, unmoved face of her who was destined to me from childhood and who would be all mine in a few days. She sat on a thick carpet, leaning back on a pile of cushions which raised her charming bust. She rested her head on her right hand. Braids of chestnut hair, with little coins instead of ribbons at the end of each tress, fell across her shoulders. A ray of the declining afternoon sun gilded her cheeck. I was surprised From E. P. DUTTON and Co. The American Publishers at the hardness of her face. For an instant I thought that it signified contempt for the stranger, but only for an instant It was her eyes that undeceived me. In them too, the tempest was rising, clouding that clear blue of the calm sea, and driving off, one by one, like ships that will never regain port, all the old tranquil sentiments, filial love, desire of marriage, hopes for the future. One by one I watched them disappear over the horizon of our love. Great waves, with foaming crests, luminous and tragic, carried them; beyond my eyes. My first feeling was a kind of numb stupid despair. Alas! my Yamile, whose cryptic heart I had never reached, could give herself up in a few seconds to this sudden passion, body, heart, and soul, as women give who fling themselves into love, at the peril of their happiness and' if need be, of their life. I sat there, motionless as a man of stone. I do not konw how long my agony lasted. I only know that throughout it the man's eyes were riveted on the girl's, the girl's upon; the man's, and that during the moments that passionate glance lasted, they had flown to one another, embraced—possessed one another alone among hundreds of merrymakers, who were too blind or too stupid to know the horror that was passing before their eyes..... In the course of a long life it has been my lot to listen to many stories of love. I have often heard of women, seduced, little by little, by a long and patient siege. I have never believed these tales. When once the first glance has been exchanged, either a woman is conquered or never will be. Heart cries to heart—flesh to flesh. Defend herself—deceive herself as she may, once her destined conqueror has been, met, she belongs to him—is his. I knew from that moment that my beloved was no longer min^ But that! she should be that other's—no! This was unspeakable—unimaginable! Our very mountains would have quaked with horror at the bare thought. Satiated—or suddenly grown conscious of others, the man and woman' had ceased their unholy communion of eyes. By a strange phenomenon I suddenly doubted the truth of what I had seen. Perhaps, after all, I was the victim of an hallucination. My very tenderness, so long and so cruelly repressed, might well have turned to an unreasoning jealousy. Yamile had lowered her eyes. At that moment, with her long lashes resting against her cheek, her hair parted above her forehead, she had the air of some youthful Madonna. I reproached myself for my bitter thoughts—I was almost on the point of begging her forgiveness, when, more furiously than the first time, the eyes began their interrupted sport Boutros, who, it appears, had asked me several questions without; obtaining an answer, now nudged me violently: "Whafs the matter?*' he said. 'Have you become deaf? And what a face! You look like a setter at fault What game do you smell?" I could not lie. My distress was now too complete. "She is watching the stranger." Boutros laughed so loudly that the young girls turned round. "Well," he said, "that's no crime. A cat can look at a king. Our women are not veiled like theirs. Wild beasts are worth looking at!" As though Yamile understood the allusion, the blood rushed to her, cheeks, a blush that was a full confession. But Boutros was already on his feet calling together the young people for the dabke. Musicians with their instruments in their hands left the different groups and placed themselves under his orders. The big drum had been too heavy to carry so far, but there were flutes and stringed instruments, not to speak of professional singers whose interminable recitations beguile caravans in the desert Boutros ranged the young men in ranks behind him, took the red handkerchief in his hand and the dabke began. You know it by now. The dancers advance by interrupted movements, retreat half the distance after each advance, and slowly form a semicircle. In dancing as in all physical exercises Boutros had no equal. With his tense muscles, his expanded chest, his proud carriage, he seemed liike a yoifng monarch of) the forest leading his subjects through a ritual handed down from immemorial years.

DEMOCRATS IN FIRST GAME FOR BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP y* CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 13.— Two home runs and a double play was too much for the A. B. A. Democrats, when they lost to the Kalil Contractors 7-4 Sunday Afternoon at Lincoln Park. . Although many Syrian Baseball enthusiasts had already left for Carey, Ohio. The g«me was witnessed by about a thousand supporters of both teams. The losing pitcher, Joe Asseff, for some unknown reason did not have the fielding support that so marked the spectacular plays of the Kalils. Bill Jacobs, center fielder for the Kalils, drew many rounds of applause for sensational catches. The double play during the fifth inning, just as the Democrats found thein batting eye, broke up what seemed to be a good rally when G. Joseph of the Democrats hit a fine drive down the third base to zig Shaheen, who sent the ball to Hanna at first Hanna hesitated but not long enough to lose the putout at home plate. Ernie Abdow, was the winning; pitcher. The championship is by no means, certain for the KaUls may win or lose this Sunday. Each team is still confident enough to expect victory. �• YD, NO. 16.
