The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1922-04-21

Four states, with Texas leading
have for the last three years ranked
all other states in crop production.
Texas has been at the top each year,
but production in other states have
fluctuated. Iowa was second in 1919
and was lowest Of the four in 1920
and was in sixth place, letting two
other states get in ahead of her in
1921. California was in sixth place
in 1919 and in second place in 1920
and 1921, while Illinois was steadily
and determinedly chung to third place
each year.

American explorations are being
conducted at Beisan, Smarai and

under the direction of DR.. Fisher, has
funds amounting 10 almost $4,000 a
year and is prepared, according TO the
statements of DR.. Garstang, to con-
tinue it's efforts on this scale for the
next twenty Years.
There is need for n cOordinating
organization of some kind which will

formed of the progress and new de-

There is also a real need for the
introduction yof some new and high

will make certain that shafts sunk to
the really great depth required in
some Of the localities under investi-
CATION shall go downward at not tho
great expense while, atthe same time,
sinking with no danger that hurried
work will exercise great and crude
forces likely to work on any very de-
licate relic, such rs n piece of pottery,
which may lie in the path of an ex-
cavating tool.
Hand work of Course is to be pre-
fcrred when possible, but it is slow.
A problem is presented of devising
new machine methods which will
make haste without running risks.

Of the roof of an immense cave un-

the collapse of the earth roof Of an
underground river or lake.
Hundreds of people are daily VISIT

collapse of earth took place on the east
ern edge Of small plateau about six
hundred feet from the Missouri river
where the land begins to slope east

The collapse disturbed twenty-one
aces on the steep side of the ravine,

and soldierly qualities. The German
war office merely referred to the Amer
leans as the enemy" ...
The London Times History of the
War" has this to say of the Americans
at Cantigny:
"The 1st Division, fresh from the
Toul training sector, had relieved the
45th French African division from
north of Mesnil st. Georges to just
north of Cantigny in that sector fac
ing MOntdider and south of AmeinS,
where the undulating country broken
here and there with sparse woods af-
foTded the opportunity for a fierce de-
fense after the open vastness Of the
Sommc valley. They had, after the
Amiens drive settled down into the
game of exchanging shells across the
green, stood up to daily bornbardment
of every kind of cannon. At last the
chance, welcome after much sitting in
trenches. Cantigny, small but proud
of its green eminence, overlooking with
q mouth of fire the whole countryside.
was to be taken. Never did men rise
so eagerly out OF trenches to go for
ward than those Americans. Through
gas, through cloud of machipe- gun
bullets, following close behind their
blfrage they steadily ascended the
slopes of the village and sheltered
themselvesAin the cemetery when the
village was theirs. CantignX- was a
small isolated action with little imme-
date significance., But the village was
the firAt ever captured by American
troops in Europe, and the lesson that
the Germatls learned was the first
they had received from the youth of
America"
Cantigny sets on hill near Montdi-
dier, and is twenty miles southeast of
Amiens. Even before the Americans
took It the village had been devastated
during an heroic French resistance.

FORM POOR MANS COURT.
Juriots and Merchants Sponsor Unique
Tribunal in New York.

A unique tribunal which will under
take arbitration of every kind. of civil
dispute except divorce and which is
expected to do away with red tape
and reduce the volume of litigation 70
per cent has been organized in New
York by a group of prominent jurists
and merchants.
The Arbitration Society of America,
as It is called, will have for its aim the
granting of speedy and fair decisions
on an economic basis. AS it is incor-
porated under the membership law,
none of its officials or governors can
accept payment for their services,
but the necessary support until the or
ganization becomes independent will
be by contributions from interested
persons.
: The authority for the society is to be
found in law passed by the legisla-
ture in 1920, which gives legal stat
us to arbitration and vests the arbi-
traitor with the power of subpoenaing
witnesses to appear in the court of ar
bitratiOn.

MEMORIAL AT CANTIGNY

Their Quality.
WHIPPED A GREAT GERMAN ARMY
Subscribers to the National eeosraph;
ic Fund WilI>Mark the Spot With a
Little Red School House-Scene Of
Great Battle.


A modern prototype of Americas
little red schoOlhouse" will crown the
hill at Cantigny, France, where Amcri-
can soldiers first entered the Western
front as a fighting unit.
The National Geographic Society
will erect at the tiny village of Cam
tigny a schoolhousc as a memorial TO
the American soldiers who fought
there and as further emblem OF
Americas historic friendship for
France.
In announcing the action of the So
ciet%'s board Of trustees Gilbert Gros-
venor, president of the National Geo
graphical society, stated that the Sc
lection of the town was determined
upon recommendation of General Per-
shing.-
During the war members bf the Ma
tional Geographic society contributed
500. 900 to be expended for the ostab-
lishmeEt and equipment of wards at
American Military Hospital NO. J., at
Neuilly, France When the armistice
was signed only $4,000 of the fund
had been expended. . A committee OF
the society considered carefully the
most fitting and useful expenditure 6f
the remaining $4,000 of this fund and,
after consultation with General Persh-
ing, il was determined that the spot
where Europe first saw the valor or
Americas youth would be an appro-
pirate site for the building Of Ameri-
cas- Characteristic ipstitutiop of peace.
AT Cantigny the First American Di-
vision first went over the top and be-
gan to share in Foch's sturdy resist
ance which held the Germans back,
then defeated them, and won the war.
1t will be recalled that the German
general staff had ordered that the
heart be taken out Of the Americans
at any cost when they first showed up
as a unit along the fighting front.
Therefore. when orders came for the
Americans to iron out the salient at
Cantigny what might have been a
skirmish turned into terrific strug-
gle during which the Germans rallied
thousands of men and threw 10000
shells into the town. Even after the
Americans took the town they had to
hold it against Six counter attacks by
the eXasperated Germans
General Pershing, in his official re-
port of the engagement at Cantigny,
called it "a brilliant action and said
that .'it demonstrated sour fighting
qualities under extreme battle condi-
tions," The French communique gave
high praise, to American courage, valor

TALK OF LIQUOR TREATIES WITH
GREAT BRITAIN AND CUBA

Washington, March 12.-Negotiation
OF liquor treaties" with Great Britain
and Cuba, as aids in putting an end to
rum smuggling into this country, was
said tonight by high internal revenue Of
nclals to have been advocated by Prohi-
niton Commissioner Haynes. Treaties
were desired, it was explained, to handle
the Canadian border situation and to
better control exports Of liquor from
CUBA. the Bahamas, Bermuda, and to
this country.
Prohibition officials also have under
discussion a proposal for declaring rum
running vessels to be pirates through
negotiation with foreign nations looking
to the cancellation Of the registry Of such
ships Many Of the larger liquor ships
carrying Illicit cargoes of alcohol, It was
said, anchor just outside the limit Of
customs jurisdiction and send the cargo
ashore in sman boats. The war upon
these craft 10 being successfully waged
omcials assert. but the cargo vessels are
beyond the reach of tho law. If they
sailed without proper registry papers
tney would be branded as pirates, out
SIDE the law, and the lawful prize Of
every navy in the world.
At the state department it was said no
proposals for negotiations Of this sort are
under consideration as yet. International
discussion of American prohibition would
invllve many different diplomatic Ques-

BANDIT KILLS CASHIER IN
A NEW YORK DRUG STORE

New York, March 12-Accompanied
by a woman who drove with them to
Charles Friedgen's drug store, Amster-
dam avenue and 120th street, four ban
dts tonight held up the clerks in the
place and frightened by the screams of
two women who were eating ice cream
at the soda counter, shot and killed
Samuel Hadas, the cashier. They es-
capped in the waiting machine.
The drug store is opposite the Colum-
bia University campus, and is located
on the ground floor of Whittier Hall, a
dormitory for several hundred girl stu
dents. of Barnard College and teachers
college.
Three men alighted from the car
when it stopped at the curb, and went
into the store, which was brightly light
ed. The fourth man and the woman re-
manned in the machine, which was
driven around the corner into lzOtn
street The engine was kept running.
Disregarding the women at the SODA
counter, the three robbers covered the
clerks with pistols ordering them 70
throw up their hands.
AS soon as the bandits fourished
their weapons, however, the women
screamed and ran from the store. This
confused the robbers, particularly the
one who confronted Hadas. He thrust
his gun forward and pulled the trigger
The bullet passed through Radas body
and imbeGded itself in the wall twenty
feet away. He dropped dead without a
sound.
The three robbers then dashed fol
the street, got into the waiting car, sped
off towards Broadway and were swal-
lowed in the crush of traffic.
The shooting drew an immense
throng and the excited shouts Of tht
clerks who ran from the store brough
hundreds OF Columbia University stu
dents from dormitories in the vicinity.
The uproar in the street alarmed
scores of girls in the dormitories O
Whittier Hall who crowded windows II
their eagerness to learn what had hap
pened.
Hadas, who was "a and unmarried
was a medical student at Columbia Uni
versity during the day. and only work
ed in the store at night.
