tens of thousands of dollnra spent in

with forestry In barren Attica, bae
been burned up as completely as If the
banknotes themselves had been thrown

Tntol played n large part In the hN

with the purpose of starving out the
Athenian population. And In -10-1 15. (..
while Lysander blockaded Athens and
the I'irufiis by sea, the Spartans de
scended from the vicinity of Tntol, at
tacked and force the capitulation ot
Athens, ending the Peloponncshm war.

and protected, wns considered to Ut
