WAR REVIVES INTEREST IN CITY ... AUM08T FORGOTTEN. Centuries Ago It Waa One of the Most Prominent Fortified Places In the East ? Was Captured by Napoleon. Kl Arish. on e of thy world's for gotten places until tho English bom hunt rd It a short time ago, Is tho sub ject t?f u war geography bulletin is sued by Ilia National Geographic so ciety. With Its largo square fort aud hattlomcntod walls, 101 Arlsh presents a much more formidably aud Imposing appearance, viewed l'roui the Medltor rauean to the north and from the Des ert et-Tih to the south, than Its Im portance hns warranted In recent years. Formerly a populous halting place for the numerous earavaus fob lowing the "short desert route" from Egypt to Syria, its trade has waned materially since tho completion of modern railway connections with Jaf fa, Port Said and Alexandria. The town clings to the banks of the Wud aiel-Arish, a stream which becomes a small torrent after every rain. It Is more than KM) miles southwest of Jc rusalem and a slightly shorter dis tance from the Sue* canal, which lie* to the west. < The recent hostilities In this area revive a host of historical associations dating as far back as the time of tho Pharaohs, when this town was a place of exile for political prisoners, Its an cient name being Uhlnokolura. Its present name Is supposed to be de rived from the custom which obtained here of "cutting oft' the noses" of male factors whose death sentence had boon cummutod. Some NO miles to the east of 101 Arish, on tin? Egyptian-Syrian bound ary, lies ancient Khaphla, now called Er-Itafa, whore .losophus tolls us thai the Roman conqueror Titus made hi.s llrst stop on his march against Jeru salem. Here also Sargou over whelmed the Egyptians In the eighth century before the Christian era, and 500 years later there was foilght on the same sands the famous battle be tween Ptolemy Phllopator and Aiiti ochus, when the charging elephants of both armies played such a spectacular role. Of these great bVmsts, which hud been introduced into Syrian an?l Greek warfare after Alexander's con quests in India, much was expected. The battle opened with a trumpet lug dash of the opposing armored moun tains of llesh. Ptolemy's forces com manding of the terror-inspiring chargers, while Antiochus sent Into the fray 10'J. With the llrst onslaught practically all of Ptolemy's elophanis were captured, yet he won tho day. 101 Arish fell before Napoleon's Egyptian- army in September, 1708, the credit for the city's fall being given to Prance's great general, Kleber, com mander of the vanguard which also ?seized Jiifl'a and Gaza. It was dur ing tliis campaign that Napoleon com mitted the great atrocity vt Jaffa, shooting those prisoners whom he could neither guard nor feed, yet whom In* feared to release. After Na poleon's departure Kleber concluded a convention at 101 Arish with the Eng lish admiral. Sir 'William Sidney Smith, whereby the French were to be allowed to capitulate and were to re ceive safe transport back to France. This a greement was revoked by Eord Keith, however. Whereupon Kleber, with 10, (KM) men, inarched to Ifeliopo I is- and administered a crushing defeat to the Turks, who outnumbered him six to one. llad not a fanatic assas sinated tho great French tactician, on the day that Napoleon won life battle of Marengo, the fate <?P>Fri,n? h arms in Egypt might have been dilT< rent. The Admiral Smith whose agree ment with Kleber was disallowed was the same British ollieer who had caused the signal defeat of Napoleon before the walls of Ai re, a relief work for- which a grateful parliament voted him an annuity of ?1.imk>. In the center of the town of El Arish is a granite wall with an inscription in lielroglyphlcs' perpetuating a curi ous legend about the Egyptian god Shu. A short distance beyond the wajls the traveler is shown the ruins of the building in which Baldwin I, one of the Crusader kings ?>f Jeru salem, died In 111* after an unsuccess ful attack on Egypt. Retaining the Sword. Tho Turks allowed Genera I Town shond to retain his swonl ? the same honor which the Russians i?ml to Sir WlUlnin Fenwlck Williams when he wns composed to surrender mi Kara. The custom Is not uncommon in mod ern history. When Lord Methueu was 'raptured by Delarey, his sword was Ki von back to him and he was re leased. The Spanish Admiral (Vrvera, who' surrendered with no hoots and very few trlothes on, had managed to bring his sword on board < "a j ?t. Rob Evans' ship, nnd he was allowed to carry It to a cabin that had heen al lotted to him. ? General Stoessel at I'ort Arthur kept his sword. ?nd at Ap jpomnttox Court House General Grant allowed General Lee to retain his weapon. When Napoleon III. surren dered at Sedan, Bismarck taunted him with tne question, "But tell me, your majesty, whose sword Is this? Is it the sword of France or vonr own sword?" Lead* the School.
