HOME FROM UR. NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S DAY RECALL It must be thrilling to live in a house built from bricks which the builders for Nebuchadnezzar handled, on land on which he walked in his pride or crawled in his abasement. It is in a house of this character that Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Woolley have been passing the winter, excavating among the ruins of Ur in the Chaldees for the eleventh successive year.

admirers of the lyrical poet, classical scholar, and master • of English prose, as Alfred Williams is called on the inscription, which goes on to. describe him as self-taught, self-inspired, and as one who, while toiling at the forge, illumined all around him with The light that never was on sea or land, The consecration and the poet's, dream. After the- ceremony some among the company made • pilgrimage to the quiet . churchyard of South Marston where, in* one grave, the; poet and his wife, so devoted to one another in life, sleep their long sleep -within- a few yards of the cottage they built for. themselves. Close by are the school associated-with-his childhood, the farm on which he. toiled before he went to the railway works at Swindon, the church in which they'were married, and the range of hills they loved so well. , *■ EINSTEIN AND HIS OWN LAND. BITTER PROBLEM OF GERMANY, a •_ Professor Einstein has accepted professorships in Madrid and-in Paris. He has renounced German nationality and < thus cuts himself off from the land to which his name gave so much fame. It is astonishing that the German nation should have put itself wrong with , the world by persecuting Jews. J There are believed to J>e 800,000 Jews in Germany. They cannot, escape from the country like Professor Einstein, because most of them have not the means to. do so, and because emigration restrictions are very severe. It is terrible to icontemplate the locking-up of this enormous number of people in a land, which has officially, declared that it despises them. It is creating one of the most appalling minority problems 'in Europe at a time when minority problems are already causing much disturbance. Germany needs all the' friends she can get. Herr Hitler has made one of the greatest mistakes in history. He would be wise to repair it; if he does not it will have to be paid for. Another happy thing about Einstein’s; going to Madrid ‘is ‘ that centuries ago Spain ejected her Jews. It is a comfort to think that in the republican Spain'of to-day a Jew can settle honourably. That is something gained for civilisation, and we hope Germany will note the fact.

So rich were their discoveries last winter that they have returned earlier than usual in order ■ that the book in which they will tell the world of them may be completed by the autumn. Mr. Woolley is conducting these excavations for the British Museum and Pennsylvania University, and from year to year students make their way to Bloomsbury to see the evidences of a civilisation of 4000 years ago in the special gallery devoted to the previous year’s work. Jewels and ornaments without price have been rtiown there as well as objects used in the households of the people of whom we read in the Bible. Mr. Woolley has already catalogued over 19,000 complete objects, a-miracle of accomplishment in itself. . . - • - .( : •' A GREAT ROAD. The Canadian province of Alberta ovims two of the biggest and most popular National Parks on the continent, Jasper Park and Banff Park. Now they are being linked together by a fine highway 150 miles long, running through some of the best scenery in all the Rocky Mountains. A WILTSHIRE POET. HONOUR TO ALFRED WILLIAMS. His achievement is an abiding spiritual example to the workmen of this country. These words by Robert Bridges are on the beautiful bronze tablet unveiled the other day in Swindon Town Hall to the memory of Alfred Williams, the hammerman poet of South Marston. The mayor presided at the unveiling, which was done by Mr. J. H.- Morgan, K.C., in the presence of a number of
