I
Bath is Which
Great Greek Was
Killed By Wife
Athens, Nov. 7. Some very inter
esting disooveries htvvo been made by
the .British School of Aeheology in
this season's work at Mycenae, the
ancient Greek rfty which already hau
yioided soma or the moat remarkable
finds bearing on tho epic poriod whloh
preceded tho dawn of authentic his
tory.
One of theso discoveries is of a
tank bath in the palace of the Acro
polis at Mycenae, which suggests the
possibility that it may have have been
the legendary bath of Agamemnon in
which he is reputed to havo been
murdered by his wife Clytemnestra.
At ail events, if Agamemnon were
an historical person, he should have
lived in thJs palace for it was built
about 1,400 years before Christ and
was destroyed before the end of the
12th century D, C.
Mycenae was one of the most Im
portant cities of ancient Greeks and
was the fabled seat of Agamemnon
son, of the king of that city and most
powerful rules in Greece. It was
Agamemnon who the Groelc histor
ians credit with having led the CJreek
expedition against Troy. On his re
turn from that expedition, ho was
slain. In tho tragedy of Aeschylus,
the scene of tho murder is laid in the
palace of Agamemnon at Argos, some
miles distant from Mycenae.
The bath uncovered by British in
vestigators Is lined with red stucco
and its slde3 are composed of steps.
The palace, which was discovered
n 1886, has row been completely
cleared as tho result of this season's
efrorts. One of the most interesting
parts of it is the groat hall, or Meg
aron in which Is a raised ceremonial
circular hearth made of painted stuc
so and having floors of the same ma
terial edged with slabs of gypsum.
The walls of tho hall were covered
will painted fresco, which suffered
much in the fire which destroyed tho
palace. Some fragments of these
decoration? were found. They rep
resent elaborately dressed women
with auburn hair.
The domestic tuarters of the pal
ace were much destroyed but in them
v.ere found a row of jars and a shrine
with the remains of painted stucco
altars.
fnder the floors of the palace have
been found scanty remains of a yet
earlier ediflce, dating probably from
1.600 to 1,400 B. C. There probably
lived the kings who were found by
Schlieman In 1876 burie.l with their
treasures in the famous shaft graves
of Mycenae.
"Below this again are tho tombs of
ftill earlier periods, going back to
bout 2.000 B. C.
In addition, the British nreheolog
fsts found several new chamber tombs
in the Mycenae cemeteries. The two
largest tombs Just discovered have not
yet been cleared. In the entrance to
one were found painted vases, gold
and amethyst beads and flvo splendid
inraglio seal stones. On two of these
are standing liens and the figure of
the great mother goddess dressed in
the elaborately loun-el and gathered
gown worn by Myconean women.
Above her head is her secret symbol,
the double axe.
One of these bg tombs has an en
trance passage nearly 100 feet long
and six feet wide. The tomb cham
ber is 21 feet square and lies SO feet
below the level of the ground. It is
hoped that they contain articles of
great historic value.

Oldest holder of Victoria Cross
The Day Armistice was signed
Crowds at Flatiron Building
November 11 of this year means much to every American. It marks the third anniversary of the sign
ing of the armistice, declaring the war with Germany at a close. It is also the day of the arms parley at
Washington, when representatives of many nations will meet to discuss the question of disarmament. The
pictures are just a reminder of those days when tha fighting boys and nursing girls started the homeward
trek. One of the photographs shows the railway station at Tours, France, which was the principal trans
fer point for American troops on their way to several fronts. Another shows part of the crowds that gath
ered at the Flatiron Building, in New York city, when the news of the signing of the armistice was made
public. The third shows Sergeant George Richardson, 90 years old, who will represent Canada at the burial
of the Unknown American Soldier in Washington, by placing a wreath on the grave. He was the first to
receive the Victoria Cross, having received the decoration from Queen Victoria, who Instituted the order.
PESSIMISM REIGNS IN GERMANY ON ISTR ATF0RD
AbbUUm Ur UEbfiEAdE: IN LAUnANut
Berlin Nov. 8 A crash is coming
in Germany, the only question being
when and what form it will take. That
sums up today the mood of the Ger
man people from the highest to the
lowest as a result of the sharp slump
In marks. The opnlon expressed by
Arthur Von Gwinner, president of the
Deutsche Bank that Germany must
collapse, dragging down France with
her unless she is assisted, was echoed
today by other financiers and business
men.
Indescribable pessimism reigns
even among those of the nation's lead
ers who in the darkest days that fol
lowed the armistice always held out
hopey they too are now in despair.
Three weeks ago when the American
dollar purchased 120 marks these who
predicted that the German exchange
rate would go to 200 marks for the
dollar were called calamity howlers.
Today glaring headlines announced
that an American dollar buys more
than 2 50 marks.
The economic consequences of this
situation are incalculable and the
gloom and despondency cannot bo ex
aggerated. The German masses,
though working feverishly, are nearly
ready to throw up their hands in utter
despair.
Financiers claim that Germany
must secure outside assistance in the
form of credits or an actual loan Rnd
that the indemnity burden must Ibe
lightened. The Repn rations, Com
mission will arrive here from I'arls
in a few days when Germany proba
bly will openly place her cards on
ho table to show that shie is so hard
pressed there is little llklihood of her
securing gold to meet the indemnity
in. bailment due in January.
The last Reichbank report shows
that there are nearly 99,000,000,000
paiper marks in circulation. Ameri
cans can get an idea of what this
means by imagining that the dollar
had dropped to less than two cents
in value.
It ia a picture of our financial
misery wiMch. the devil could well
hand to hell." said the Deutsche
Allgemelne Zeltung In commenting on
the finance minister's budget speech
In the Reichstag showing that the
national deficit amounts to 63,000,
000,000 marks.
A striking fact is that in ther midst
of all this misery there Is scarcely
any unemployment in Germany, An
offlrtlal estimate of the maximum
numfber of idle men throughout the
country is 100,000. The buying craze
continues and everyone is converting
all paper money Into tangible goods.
It is anticipated that prices will in
crease the influx of great numbers of
foreigners to buy up German goods.
Takdng advantage of the depreciation
of German money is causing much
dissatisfaction. Some stores refuse
to sell to any customers who speak
with a foreign accent. Other are
planning a s-peclal tax on all goods
sold to foreigners.
There is much murmuring of dis
content below the surface and
therats of trouble unless tho situa
tion is ameliorated.

prayers have been sanctioned by the

quility Thy kingdom may ga forwurd,
till the earth is filled with the knowl
edge of Thy love; through Jesus

"O, Almighty God, who canst bring
good out of evil, and makest even the
wrath of man to turn to Thy praise;
teach Thy children to live together in
char-ty and peace; and grant we be
seech Thee, that the nations of the
world may henceforth be united in a
firmer fellowship for the promotion
of Thy glory and the good of all man
kind; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen."
"God. the physician of men and na
tions, the restorer of the years that
have been destroyed, look upon the
distractions of the world, and bo
pleased to complete tho work of Thy
i healing hand. Draw all men unio
rnee ana one in ancuicr uy um
of Th .' love. Make Try church one.
and fill It with Thy spirit, that by
Thy power It may unto the world

and Thou mayest be ever glorified;

Amen."

Washington. Nov 7. The sacred
Senate chamber, stamping ground of
staid, dignified solons. was invaded re

no difference whatever.

in the guide's oratorical explanations,

Chamber in the midst of peace treaty
discussion.
He stood unconcernedly in the sen

him wonderfully and spying tho door
of the Republican cloak room open,

The following communicatiion from
the Stratford post of the American
Legion, received today, sneaks for it
self:
"Gentlemen:
"I am takfng the liberty of bring
ing to your attention a matter of gen
eral interest to the tpe-ople ot Strat
ford, with the request that if consis
tent with your -policy, this matter be
given publicity in the columns of
your valued newspaper.
"The Stratford post of tho American
Legion wishes to announce that it has
no connection with any canvaser, so
licitor or salesman going from house
to house in Stratford, attempting to
sell any article or literature.
"There have been numerous cases
recently of such activity, and in some
cases, claims have been made that
one-half the profits would go to the
local Community House for the Leg-ion,
This is dearly misrepresenta
tion, as the Stratford Post does not
care to become connected with any
such methods of obtaining the sup
port and co-operation of Stratford
people in its actfivttAes. We have,
never carried on any campaign for
funds, and do not expect the people
to buy articles of little intrinsic
worth, such as have been distributed.
In maklner this announcement, we
have no desire to impede the efforts
New York, Nov. 8 The question
to be answered by the ballots in the
city election November 8 is whether
the Tammany Tiger shall purr con
tentedly in City Hall for another four
years, or whether his would-be tam
ers, the Republicans and Coalitionists,
win twist Ms tail and drive him to
the seclusion of the wigwam in Four
teenth Street. It has agitated all
New York since early summer.
For the last few weeks the ears
of the voters have been bombarded
with all sorts of campaign argu
ments by hundreds of orators in halls
and on street corners. Seldom in
the history of municipal elections
here has there been such a flow of
oratory, of charges and counter
charges. WKliam Travers Jerome, a reform
district attorney, who stirred New
York a number of years ago, dramat
ically re-entered the political arena
reentry as a supporter of the Repub
lican Coalition cause. He breathed
fire, into the campaign and bitterly
denounced Mayor Hylan and his ad
ministration. The newspapers ,In addjition, have
printed column after column of po
litical news and the bewildered voter
faces the problem of trying to dis
sect the mass of claims and counter
claims a.r-i cast his vote intelligently.
The majority of the daily papers in
the greateir -city editorially favor the
candidacy of Major Henry H. Curran.
the Republican-Coailiition contender
for mayor. Mayor John F. Hylan, a
candidate for re-election on the Tam
many ticket, has his principal editor
ial backing from the ipapers controll
ed by W. R. Hearst. Tho conditions
in this reflp-ect arte nearly Identical
with those four years ago when Hy
lan won a sweaping victory over the
late John Purroy Mitchell.
Pollitlca-l wiseacres ligure that the
women, who will vote for the first
time fin a mayoralty election, hold
the balance of power. Women show
ed a keen interest in the primaries
and registration and in many dis
tricts, polled nearly as many votes
as the men. The total registration
Is 1,268,364, about 100.000 short of
the record registration in the last
Preedd-enttial election.
The city lis considered Democratic
undier normal conditions, national
party lines generally being dis-carded
in municipal elections. As usual,
the rival managers predict victory.
The Tammany chieftafns claim May
or Hylan will be elected by majori
ties running all the way from 100.000
up. The olaims of the Republican
Coal'tlonists, while made with equal
con-fldemce,, are more modest.
Although the Socialists Prohibi
tionists, Single Taxers, Farmer-l-abor-ites
and Oorrfmunl'sts have tickets in
the fle'id, observers agree the main
fight will be between Hylan and Cur
ran. Sodialist leaders predict the
socialist vote, will total 225.000,
