Ryan, formerly director of the governments aircraft program, today issued statement replying to cer- tain charges made against himself and others in connection with al- legged wasteful methods and incom- potency, and vigorously attacked the congressional committee making an investigation of wartime spruce pro- duction costs. He declared that the committee had proceeded in its work as if it. were in search Of campaign material for congressional or na- tional election rather than attempt ing to form a true estimate of the work done by the aircraft production board.
 He said that the committee had made intimations against persons whose services had really been of value to the government and the entire nation. He declared that the committee had acted on the testi- mony of "soreheads" who had failed to obtain government contracts and who were taking any means of get ting revenge.

ALPINE ILP PE!NJEE STREAM STREAM
 ALARMS PEOPLE

GENEVA.-(P)-Anxiety is felt by the inhabitants of several villages in the Engadine district because of the vagaries of an Alpine stream which has appeared in three different places during the past six weeks and as promtly vanished. The stream after cutting beds near villages dis appeared overnight.
 In one instance the torrent passed quite close to the tourist resort of Bergun, causing the resort to become deserted. Swiss engineers have traced the source of the stream to Lake Raveisch but failed in their experi- ments with colored water to follow it to it's discharge.
 Inhabitants recollecting the tragedy of 1892 at the health resort of Ger yais when similar stream collecting under a mountain caused terrible landslides destroying the village, kill ing and drowning several scores of persons, have appealed to the canton al government for assistance.

TREATY MAY BE
 EFFECTIVE FOR
 ARMISTICE' DAY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT EXPECTS THAT THE TREATY WILL BE- COME EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER II, ONE YEAR AFTER ARMS TICE WAS SIGNED.

LONDON. Oct. 2S.-R)-Speaklng in the house of commons today and in answer to question directed at him, under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Harmsworth declared that the government hopes and be- lieves that the treaty will become effective November Il, or Armist tice Day.
 On this date. one year will have passed since the Germans bowed to defeat and signified their willing ness to accept allied terms. It is planned to make the day one of general celebration in England.
 A recent Paris announcement said that it was probable that the formal notifications would be deposited there on November 1, and that the first meeting of the league of nations would be called within ten days from that time. There is some uncertain ty as to the exact time when the treaty will be formally put into eff feet.
