WASHINGTON, ARMAGEDDON, BATTLEGROUND OF CENTURIES, REVEALS SECRETS Unxvcrsnty of Chicago Has Purchased Right to Excavate on Site of _Stoned Clty. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 2.—Armaged- don, the meeting place of ancient na- tions, and battleground of untold cen- turies, is unfolding its secrets to the modern world. From halfway round the globe, men have come to Palestine to extract mew detall in the mosaic of civilization from the crumbling ruins of a mountain For a few thousand dollars, when once no money would suffice, the Orlental Institute of the University of Chicago has purchased the right to ex- Blvl!e on the site of the storied city. Dr. James H. Breasted, head of the in- stitute, revealed today how a cross- section of human works in bygone centuries is slowly showing itself o the hills beneath Mount Carmel. Stone Age to Solomon to-Palestine of 1930, with only the mountain peaks en- uxlnx-Armageddon is ylelding visual history to the chipping knives of the Chicago expeditions. It was Armageddon of which St. John the Divine wrote in Revelations: Armageddon, the site of the last great war, when the nations are gathered to “the battle of that great day of God Imighty.” Saw Unclean Spirits. Of the city which guarded the plains- d'iv:mng Canaanites from attack, he “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. “For they are the spirits of the devils. working miracles, which go forth unto the Kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. "Behold I come as a thief. Blessed he that watcheth, and keepeth his nrmenu, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. “And he gathered them together into a place ulled in the Hebrew tongue Armageddo) . It was Armngeddon where, 15 cen- turies betore the Savior, Canaanites and Egyptians under Thutmcse III fought under the fortressed hills in the first known conflict on that site. It was Armageddon where, 20 cen- turies after the Savior, Lord Allenby led a British army forth to meet the ‘Turks on a World War salient and sent them flying back over the trail the hosts of Egypt once had taken. Mounds Disclose Cities. But when Allenby fought, and when the expedition from the Western World started its work in 1925, there were only mounds and well tilled flelds in the place of a city which looked toward the sea and the inland peaks. Foot by foot these mounds have dis- closed the presence of a dozen cities, each on the ruins of its predecessor. The stables which Solomon constructed were unearthed in 1927. The streets along which the citizens of his day traveled, the work they did, a few of the homes in which they lived, have been traced through stray markers. ‘The story of a buccaneering Egyptian who gathered a straggling army and captured Jerusalem in the tenth cen- tury before Christ has been read in the fragment of a stone tablet. The hiero- glyphics have vindicated the claim, long doubted, that he succeeded in capturing well guarded Armageddon. Until this vear the excavation ecould be done only by “halves.” Part of the site had to be left uncleared, but a blanket purchase of rights from the widow of an Englishman has allowed the Oriental Institute to plece out fur- ther its historic evidence. And when the last fragments have | been taken from the site of Armaged- | don the land will be converted into farms once more. The newest civiliza- tion will leave its pastoral imprint on the battleground of the past. DR. C. S. MACFARLAND WILL BE HONORED Testimonial Luncheon Arranged by Army and Navy Chap- lains’ Group. Dr. Charles 8. Macfarland, lieutenant colonel, Chaplains’ Reserve, who will soon retire from the general secretary- ship of the Federal Council of Churches, will be tendered a testimonial luncheon ‘Thursday at the Army and Navy Club by chaplains of the Army and Navy and members of the General Committee of Army and Navy Chaplains.

C., TUESDAY ENGINEERS PLEDGE STUDY OF JUBLESS. Society Responds to Appeal of Col. Arthur Woods to Investigate Crisis. By the Assoctated Press . | NEW YORK, December 2.—Hope for solution of the unemployment prohlem lies largely with the country's engi- neers, Col. Arthur Woods, chairman of the President’s Committee on Employ- ment, told the American Society of ! Mechanical Engineers yesterday. “If the engineers of America could apply the same degree of trained intel- ligence to the problems of stabilization of industry as they have in the past to its expansion, we should march a long way toward regulation of employment,” said Col. Wood. “We must find within the resources of every community throughout this coun= try the basis for our recovered national prosperity. Foreign trade offers little help to the situation because the busi- ness depression is world-wide.” ‘The unemployment crisis, he as- serted, has come about as the result of uncontrolled economic forces which are not well understood. He urged that en- gineers make a study of methods already in operation to stabilize employment and prevent another crisis in the future. The society responded to his appeal by voting to undertake a Nation-wide investigation into means adopted throughout the country to stabilize em- ! ployment. Committees in each of the society's 71 local sections in every prin- cipal industrial area of the country will conduct the inquiry, under supervision of a central committee. 'LINDSEY PRESENTS VIEWS ON MARRIAGE ‘Waih Two and a Half Hours to Talk to Churchmen Over Bishop Manning’s Protesf " i By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 2—Judge Ben B. Lindsey presented his views cn marriage yesterday to the New York Churchmen’s Assoclation, despite the cbjection of the Right Rev. Willlam T. Manning, Protestant Ebiscopal bishcp of New York. Bishop Manning did not attend. The famed founder of Denver's | Juvenile Court waited an hour while 70 members of the assoclation, made up | of Episcopal clergymen, ate luncheon. He waited another hour while they de: bated the advisability of hearing him and an additional 30 minutes while they | prepared a statement for the press to make clear their belief in the um:tuy of marriage. Judge Lindsey was invited last Apfll. to_make the address. | Bishop Manning urged cancellation | of the invitation as soon as he received | announcement of it last week, and the Speakers’ Committee agreed to lubmlt‘ the matter to the membership. ‘While Judge Lindsey wllted “he tald newspaper men what he planned to say, outlining four reforms advocated ! by him.
