ANCIENT a ARISH

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?"
