ROME, Sept. 30.-Scientists say
they do not believe that new volcano
was created on Mount Pisadlac, near
Spezia, during the earthquake which
began Sept. 7 and continued until
Sept. 9 causing the loss of 500 lives.
Tongues of flame and smoke or dust
were seen to be emitted from what
is properly supposed to have been a
new crater opened near the mountain
top.
Frank A. Perrett, the American vol
canologist for the Carnegie Institution,
who occupies station at Mt. Vesuvlus
to observe its operations, has express
ed to the Associated Press the opinion
that no new volcano has ben formed
but that the earthquakes caused dis
placements of subterranean strata
causing a fissure in the earth's crust
and that gas escaping therefrom was
mistaken by onlookers as the opening
of a new crater. The phenomenon,
was not new one. Mr.. Perrett said
the seismical instruments showed a
towering of the earth level in the
earthquake district previous to the
tremors. This has been observed o

The degree of distinctness with
which the telegraphic emissions of the
cable are heard tell whether the ship
has left it's course and to which side
of the cable it has strayed. Even if
the vessel gets many miles out of her
course, the sounds are still picked up.
AS a matter of fact however, there
is practically no possibility for the ship
to get far out of her course unless the
navigator goes to sleep for several

WHERE WILL VALLEY
PROPOSED FAIR?

Farm Advisor Ed Garthwaite who
IS just returned from San Diego
re he was judge in the agricultural
xhibits of the San Diego county fair
believes that the one great problem
which the Imperial Valley fair will be
confronted with is the housing of the
guests who may come from distant
points. He thinks that such a fair
will draw not less than 5000 guests
laily during the life of the fair and
hat Ell Centre nor any other point
in the valley will be anywhere equal
o the problem of caring for these
guests and that to have them come and
ind poor accommodations would be
worse than having them remain away
altogether. In the event the people
will come to the rescue and pledge a
vacant room for practically every
home in Ell Centre the proposition
might be handled but unless something
Of that sort can be worked out he does
ot feel so optimistic about fair
This does not mean that Mr.. Garth
waite has given up the fair idea by
any means. 1t it merely his worry al

Drs. Mcdonald and Dean are of the
opinion that leprosy of the nerve type
as well as the nodular cases should

port astonishing results with the nerve
cases.

Regarding the virulent form of lep-

cases the LESSONS disappear, except for
cars and permanent injuries, and the
leprosy bacillus can no longer be

LONDON, Sept. 30.-The League of
Nations has a merchant marine.
To date, no less than fifteen cargo
and passenger carrying vessels are
CHARTERED by the League of Nations and
either are. or soon will be, plying
regular trade routes.
Expediency, rather than a desire to
operate a merchant marine, was the
,use of the venture, according to DR..
Fridjof Nansen, arctic explorer, states
man and relief worker, who is the
disappointed director of the League
of Nations fleet. This is how it hap
pened.
Some few months ago DR.. Nansen
found himself appointed to the job
If repatriating some half million pris-
ners of war to their native lands.
Half of these were in Russia-from
the Baltic to the Urals-the remainder
n prison camps of the Central En-
,ires and France. Unable to arrange
for the transportation, DR.. Nansen de-
ided to charter steamers to ply be-
ween Hamburg and other German
orts and Baltic seacoast cities. The
'essels were to carry Russians on one
ap of the journey and return cargo
f Germans and Austrians.
During the course of negotiations it
developed that many of the Russian
prisoners confined in Germany and
France hailed from Eastern Siberia.
To transport them across Russia via

Consequently, two chartered vessels

ers. For three weeks freight solicitors
searched Germany for cargo to.
arry as ballast to the Orient. Finally
a cargo of salt was secured.
Because CT the comparatively short
voyages, it is not necessary to carry
cargo on the trip between Baltic and
North Sea ports.
According to Dr.. Nansen, inconceiv-
able difficulties are encountered in the
work. Ships were not available from
ny of the governments Immediately
concerned in the movement of prison
ers. France was rot anxious to re-
lease the thousands of Russians held
by her. The majority are engaged il
road making in Algeria and other
French possessions.
The Soviets, DR.. Nansen ayers, have
been far more considerate in cooperat-
ing with the work than any of the
ether governments. On the other hand
they have been limited by obstacles
presented because of the attitude of
the Baltic states, the Siberian govern
ment and Jap ..
Although the work of repatriation
has been greatly hampered, it Is now

sen, and his colleagues hope TO have
the movements well under way this
fall. Because of the poorly clad and
weak ply sical condition of many OF
the prisoners, projection of the work
into winter would cause great hard
ships and suffering.
The League has secured about So.

Inc signing of peace treaty and
armistice by the Polish and soviet Rus
sian delegates at Riga, reported lit.
tie prematurely last week, took place
on October r. The armistice IVES TO
become effective at midnight October
IL. Joffe, head Of the soviet delega
tion, described the peace as "a peace
without victory and without van
qu1shed," and disinterested observers
at Riga agreed that that described it.
Hence it was predicted that the pact
would not be very pleasing to either
the Poles or the Russians.
A peculiar complication In the af-
fairs of that part of Europe arose
through the seizure of Wilma, the capt.
tai OF Lithuania, by troops under the
command of General Zellgouski, who
resigned from the Polish army before
the occupation. His force Is made up
Of both Poles and I.ithuanlans. He
established a council of six in the city,
and that body is planning provision
al government for central Lithuania
pending the question of the self-deter-
mination of the inhabitants of that
district. The Polish government dis
avowed the occupation of wilma by
Zellgouski, the Lithuanians were said
to be modifying for the recapture Of
the city, and il was reported that rep
resentatives of the League of Nations
might be asked to straighten out the
situation.

AS has been said before. the Rus
sian soviet government is now free to
devote all it's strength to the crushing
of Baron Wrangel in south Russia.
But the baron is wasting no time, and
late dispatches from Constantinople
say his Dneiper river campaign is MAX
ing excellent progress. He had just
captured two Bolshevik battalions. oc-
cupied two important towns and de-
stroyed large munitions plant. The
report that Maxine, the guerrilla lead
err, had deserted Wrangel is confirmed,
but several of his bands have been
routed. Semenoff, the Siberian anti
Bolshevik leader, has given his adher-
ence to Wrangel and asked orders from
him.
Every day brings its batch of re-
ports of mutinies and revolts against
the soviet rule, and in London It was
believed the downfall of the Lenine
and Trotzky regime was near. Seri-
Gus fighting was said to be taking place
in Moscow, the troops storming barri-
cades in the streets. Bolshevik ef-
forts elsewhere were collapsing. The
Armenian and Georgian armies were
preparing to unite TO defend the TWO
republics against the Bolshevik turks
Tartars and Azerbeidjanians. France
and Turkey have made an agreement
by which the French will ponce Ao-
ana. Tarsus and Mersone for the pro-
lection of Armenia.
Earl Curzon, British foreign secre-
tary has told the Russian Bolshevlh
foreign minister that the British nav&i
forces have been ordered TO attack on
sight any Russian submarines encoun-
tored on the high seas-this because
