MODERN MACHINERY
 TO UNEAR7H RUINS
Scientists Will Be Aided by Won-
 deriul Inventions

Philadelphia, Oct. 7.-When work begins October Is, in exploring the dust buried ruins of the city of UT, ancestral home of the Patriarch Ab- raham, by a joint expedition of the British Museum and the University of Pennsylvania Museum, the archae- ologists will have to contend with few cf the extraordinary difficulties which hitherto have hampered work of rhe sort In southern Masopotamia.
 That country is now under d Brit ish mandate. Hence the first difficll. ty-tliat of sharing the best of the discoveries with the nlaseum in Con. stantinople--is reroYod. Then. he fore the war virtually everything had 10 be done by ha.la The expedition now on its way will be the first 10 utilize a complete modern mechanical equipment. Streets once thronged with men and women. silent now and Dur- jed for three thousand years, will echo the roar of locomotives and mo tor trucks.
 Work Is Easier.
 "The expedition will start work un der the most favorable auspices said Dr. c. B. Gordon, director of the University Museum Since the Brit ish Museum is a governmental in- stitution it was simple matter to ob- tain equipment. The Colonial office gave the utmost cooperation. A mlli- tary railway and motor lorries have heen provided to maintain communi- cation with headquarters of the eX- petition, which will be at Bagdad.'
 Dr. c. l.. Wolley, who has been at work recently on Hittite site on the Upper Euphrates river, has been se- lected by Dr. Gordon to head the expedition, the British Museum hay ing asked him to name chief. Col onel T. w. Lawrence. war hero and explorer of international reputation, will be second in command. Colonel lawrence is credited with winning the Arab tribesmen over to the Allies In the world war He was captured by the Turks and spent two years in prison camp.
 Sidney Smith. a young archaeolo- gist of the British Museum staff, will go along to decipher cuneiform texts; John Newton will accompany the eX- redition as an architectural expert, and Paul Hunter as representative of the University museum.

 Washington, Oct. '. = Eight big business men, all enrolled in the gov ernment on a dollar a year" salary basis, have been in conference with army ordnance officials here this week working out details of post war plans for the TO mobilization of ordnance manufacturing plants in any future war.

 Those attending the conference in- cluded B. A. Franklin, chief of the Bridgeport, Conn.,, district; John Ross Delaheld. chief of the New York dis trict; c. H. Penney, chief of the Bos- ton district. /.
 The theory of the ordnance depart ment in creating these civilian chiefs is that all available plants in each dis trict will be under Jurisdiction of the district chief who will keep constant ly in touch with plant owners and ar range in agreement with them for the prompt utilization of the plants for intuition making in the event of war.

DRAINAGE

r. l.. Patty. State College Extension
Agricultural Engineer, and the County
Agent spent Tuesday and Wednesday
In the north end of the county laying
out demonstration drainage projects.
This work was carried out on the
farm of Ernest Peterson and McGinnis
Bros. in Burdette township and on the
w. T.. Bruggeman farm in Linn town
ship Five different projects were
layed off on the Bruggeman farm and
two on the Anderson and McGinnis
farms.
Mr.. Patty stated that much low land
now abandoned on many of Hand
Cou~ty's best farms could be cheaply
reclaimed. Such land would soon pay
for the drainage expense. Mr.. Patty
claims that drained land will produce
twice the amount taken from adjoin-
ing land.
The drainage of low places has
many advantages, the most important
of which are:
II makes the land tillable so that
fields may be farmed without working
around the low places;
Improves appearance of farm: and
Increases the value of the land.

A Degrading Influence"

Twenty three years ago Nine.
Marie Curie, working with her hus-
band in Paris, isolated the mineral
known as radium. perhaps the most
stimulating scientific discovery of
her generation.
And the world ever since has
hailed her as one Of the greatest
OF the scientists Of all time, one in
whom the accident Of sex was
wholly subordinate to the fact of
genius. Last year she made a tri-
umphant pilgrimage through the
United States, bearing awav tro-
phles in the form Of memberships in
the most august scientific bodies IN
the country.
ience 1t comes as a shock to
read that there is opposition to her
election as member of the French
Academy of Sciences. Although a
committee of members reported that
her discoveries were "uneoualed hv
men and advocated that the i'm
memorial policy of the Academy
against the admission of women be
abandoned. the anti-suffragists still
hold out. They insist that the pres
tige Of the Academy will wane "if
the feminine influence is permitted
to degrade this noble society,""
The present generation of women
sometimes worry lest their dauch-
tiers grow up "soft,' with no battles
to fight or crusades to wage. They
should be reassured by this incident
and confirmed in their faith that for
every character which needs to be
made strong an "anti' will be
created.

Still Begging Of

Before the Cannes conference met
he Eeparation Commission turned
down Chancellor Wirth's repeated
appeals for partial postpone
ment Of the reparation payments
due from Germany on January Is
and February Is next. The Chan
cellor told the commission carly in
December that he could not hope to
scrape together more than 100000
600 to 200,000,00O gold marks. The
January settlement calls for 5OO,-
100000 gold marks and the Feb
ruary one calls for 100000.
Germany has credits against these
amounts Of 400,0OO,OOO marks paid
IN KIND. She has, therefore, to pro-
duce only 375,o00,OO0 marks. and
Chancellor Wirth, after his pleas for
lenlency had failed, suddenly discov-
cred that he could raise that sum.
At Cannes it was decided to grant
the Germans a provisional delav nm
the January and February payments,
but not 10 abate them. That Ger
many can persuade the Allied gov
ernments that she is unable to nav
is unlikely. She has certainly shown
no alacrlty to pay such as France
showed in 1871. AS the Reparation
commission pointed out recently. the
Reich has failed to balance it's bud
get, to do away with unnecessary
domestic subventions or to put the
railway and postal services on a self
sustaining basis. The delay that has
been conceded was conditioned on the
submission of a plan for budgetarv
and currency reforms. The Germans
DO not really know yet what they can
do IN the way Of paying. They don't
know because they haven't made an
honest try.
1t seems probable, however, that the
Allied governments may look with
favor on the Loucheur Rathenau
method Of supplementing payments
IN gold with payments in kind. One
proposal already made is that Ger
many shall deliver 1000 900 600
marks in kind to every 50o,00O0O0
marks IN coin. Deliveries in kind
especially to France, are easier than
gold deliveries. The goods are in
sight and can be taken over and
moved without difficulty. Gold is
much harder to lay hands on. and
the Reich has to contend with tho
frantic desires of most German nro-
dncers to put their negotiable secu-
rites credits and liquid resources
'hto safe-kecping outside Germany. :,
Loucheur and Rathenau b]azed tho
way to more direct and practicable
method OF settlement. The British
nave hitherto looked askance At th;s
method. But it seems to be winn;no
acceptance because of its better
adaptation to the conditions Of art;
hclal bankruptcy which German &c.
cal policy has brought about

For Debt Cancellation

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Regarding Representative Rca
vls's idea that France can just as we'll
pay her debt to the United States as
spend it on military preparations to
defend herself against a possible fu
ture aggression, does Mr.. Reayis think
that the American people would sane
tion any attempt of this government to
hold the debt of France as club over
her head?
Is it not perfectly righteous and
natural for France to make prenara-
tions for her defense? Can we expect
France to disarm without giving some
guarantees to stand with her in case
Of aggression?
In my opinion, the debts of all the
Allies to this government and of the
Allies to England should be Cancelled
for our own good and that of the world
IN consideration Of the war service rem
dered by the debtor nation. If some de-
sire to call it our magnanimity let them
DO so, but we know that to cancel The
war debts would be an economic ad-
vantage to US. At the same time we
should not be asked or expected to nav
FOR service rendered US by France or
England, as that also was for the pood
OF the cause. These bills should a,so
be Cancelled and whatever has been paid
on them should be put to our credit.

labor under handicaps until they be-

reason to believe that good knowl-
edge of foreign tongues will sooner
or later prove distinct asset to
any one connected with foreign
trade Spanish and French are
passports to opportunities that are
closed to those who know only Eng

knowledge Of Spanish and French
Will have an advantage in most
lands with which America does much
business.
Aside from these material assets,
there are, Of course. the obvious
educational advantages of being able
to read the literatures of other
countries in the original. No matter
how admirable the translations, there
are things-and usually they are
the nations best masterpieces
which cannot be put into English
adequately. A knowledge of the
original tongue permits an under
standing of the literature and often
of the country which no mere knowl-
edge Of English can give
If, therefore, the study of foreign
languages in the colleges is on the
wane it is time for the authorities
to take the matter in hand The op-
portunities and benefits that come
from good knowledge of foreign
languages are such that their study
should be stimulated in every way.
AS America grows Americans will
need Spanish and French more than
ever before. For those who cannot
get good instruction in school or at
home the college is the place to
seize this opportunity. More study
of foreign languages. not less, is
what the colleges need.
