KOPI.E are npt to be disappoint
eil in niiydiuj, but this is not un
natural unless one bears elearlj
in mind that what one sees to-
duy is a conipuratirely modem Turco
Aialiinn town and not the city of ro
mance of Arabian Nights entertain
ments that one has probably imagined.
That old Bagdad, or rather l)ar-es-.Sulam
us It was originally called, was
built in the year 7ti.' A. I), by Al Man
sur, the second Abbasid caliph, out ot
the ruins of the city of Ctesiphon. It
saw its palmiest days in the time of
Caliph Iluroun-ul-Kascliid, the fifth of
the Abbasid line, who nourished from
7SU to 800 A. D. The city soon after
this came to Its end. I
The caliphate was for political rea
fons moved to Samarrah in 830 und
when It was brought back again to
Iiagdnd lu 81)2, n new city was built
on the opposite, I. e., lcft, bank of tin
Tigris, n mile or two downstream from
'the old site. Of Dar-es-Salam nothing
now remains but a few indistinct
mounds, says a writer in the Times of
India Illustrated Weekly.
It cannot even be said that the new
capital of which we lmve just spoken
Is the lliigdad that we know today..
The site lias remained the Mime, but'
of tlie city there Is now nothing above
ground that can be Identified as being
nearly as old as H'.K. lingdad has suf
fered more often and more severely
from destruction and decay than Ku
ropcun or Indian cities, even taking
Into account such Incidents us the
great tire of London or the sequence
of events that hits produced the seven
capitals at IMhl, or the cheery habit
of the old Unman emperors of pulling
down the buildings of their predeces

themselves. Twice has Itiigdud been
sucked: In 12." 8 by the Mongols under
Ilulnkii Khan and again in 1 100 by

times ami Hooded still more often.

Through Center of Bagdad.
tance It presents a most attractive pic
ture. From miles away in the desert
one can see the green mass of Kagdad
flouring In the atmosphere and as one
approaches nearer along the dreary,
dusty track, its colored domes and
gilded minarets can be distinguished
showing above the palms and trees.
As one enters the town most of this
is lost to sight and one finds oneself
in a narrow winding street. The walls
on either side are usually viry bare.
Every now and then one passes a
door, sometimes plain, sometimes quite
ornate with jolly brass door knockers.
Above, from the first floor are pro
jecting oriel windows, these, too, vary
ing from plain brick and timber to
carved wood of great richness with
pierced screens, often of very beauti
ful design. Hut be they plain or fancy,
they cast a pleasant shadow on the
roatl beneath and Incidentally block
out from view except for a glimpse
here and there, the domes or minarets
which were so noticeable from outside,
the city walls.
Out of the maze of these narrow
streets one would never emerge had It
not been for the kindness of the Turk,
who very thoughtfully cut a hronc'
roud right through the center of the
town In commemoration of the full ot
Kut. Now, In our day, we uso It for
the main stream of truffle.
But the most charming feature of
Bagdad Is the river front and this
alone Is sutllclent to compel one's ad
miration for the city. Basra in com
parison Is all mud and shipping.
Amnra is pretentious with a row of
buildings of uniform design facing on
a promenade, which reminds one too
much of a terrace on the "front" of a
small seaside resort. Kut Is pic
turesque too, hut designed on a scale
befitting Its size and ImiMirtance, and
with Its mosques and public buildings,
the palms and the trees ami more es
pecially the numbers of delightful rlv
rsldo houses, with their verandas ti ml
balconies nnil their exquisite little gar
dens overhanging the river, Bagdad
)ms a character und a charm nil Its

"The League Covenant, prefixed to
the treaty of peace, and now awaiting
ratification, may have among its arti
cles, some dubious propositions, and
even possibility of risk to national
security, but it is unquestionably the
greatest document of political ideal
ism and the most Impressive evidence
of tlie world's desire for deliverance
from the curse of war, which human
history has ever recorded. Obstruc
tion of its endorsement is to be ex
pected from those who are concerned
for nothing but their own immediate
profit, or who fancy that they can
save America and abandon the rest
of the world to chaos.
'Short sighted self-interest, parti
san policies and national'provincial-
ism are the natural enemies of mag
nanimous statesmenship. The view of
religion is the precise opposite of all
this. It holds that men walk not by
sight, but by faith; that the things
that are seen are temporal, and the
things that are not seen are eternal.
Whatever be the differences among"
the churches, tlhey unite every day in
the prayer that the Kingdom of God
come on earth. In a sordid, selfish,
shut-in world, they represent the re
ality and efficiency of idealism.
"Now. t! t Leaui; Covenant defi
nitely represents this '.ew of life. Its
proviilcns may n . be- immediately
realized; its progiam may be amend
ed; its responsibilities cannot be free
from risk; but in a degree without
precedent or parallel it expresses the
faith of the nations in a hitherto un
realized fraternalism; the great hope
that the world may be diverted from
armaments and bloodshed to concllu
tion and peace. Of all the schemes
of statesmenship whic'n the world has
seen, this is the nearest approach
one might say the only approach to
fulfilling the prayer. "Thy Kingdom
Come.'
"Whatever, then, other people
politicians, traders, little Americans
or scoffers may have to say of cliis
instrument now awaiting approval,
there should be no doubt in the mind
of the churches and their ministers.
The course ot events has thrown
destiny of the world into their hands.
The" horrible experience of war has
compelled statesmen to attempt a
scheme of political idealism. What
the churches have been praying for,
with scant hope of realization, is act
ually, and on a vast scale, proposed to
the nations of the earth. If then the
churches and their representatives do
not accept this chance for promoting.
'however imperfectly, the ideals which
are their chief reason for existence, it
is likely to be the last chance they
will have in this generation at least,
to prove that they mean what they
pray." Boson Herald.
