In addition to the hundreds of different pertaining to the veterans bureau, National Guard, the organized reserves, the citizens military training camps and West Point, the information clerk Is called upon to settle many disputes between friends who disagree over some question regarding the military service. The following are typical of the questions asked: What I? the weight of the army rifle and how many shots will it fire? Wfhat regiment of engineers Is surveying the proposed Nicaraguan canal? Who is the assistant secretary of war? ? - What Is General Ely’s first name? When does the next army transport’ sail and how many troops will she carry? I . Here's a Pugxler.

The majority of the questions asked are answered immediately® without consulting sources, for It Is the pride of the. army information service that Its personnel shall be well informed. Frequently, however. some seeker after knowledge of things military will present a poser. Then the information clerk must consult files both current and ancient, or even. in. rare Instances, resort to calling upon some bureau .of the War department In Washington for the informal ion desired, once a question is asked, however, the army information does not put it aside until it has been answered.

STORY UF FLOOD REWRITTEN BY EXPERTS’ PICKS AND SHOVELS

«s Excavations Now Show It Was Local Affair. Philadelphia.—Picks and shovels of modern archeological expeditions are rewriting the Biblical study of the flood on the banks of the ancient Euphrates, in Mesopotamia. A series of moving pictures, taken by the University of Pennsylvania museum expedition, under the leadership of Dr. 0. Leonard Woolsey, were brought jto the museum by Doctor Woolsey and exhibited to the public. These show that the biblical recital of the risen waters, which eliminated the races of the Euphrates, is a legend recounted by succeeding generations of the Assyrians, long before the; Jews Incorporated it into their Old Testameift. Doctor Woolsey said. Excavations of the expedition also prove, he declared, that the flood occurred many before the Hebrew tribes trod the soil of Mepptamia. Tunneling beneath the underpinnings of structures built by races who dwelt in the section after the waters of the Biblical flood had disappeared, the excavators found ‘the silt left by the flood near Ur of the Chaldees, which .must have occurred between 5000 and 4000 B. C., according to the calculations of the archeologists. The Bibjjcal flood, according to Doctor Woolsey, was a purely local phenomenon and consisted merely, of the overflowing of ..the Euphrates. It was not a world-wide flood, as the Bible re-
