Horne Fears Early Collapse
 Of European Civilization

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-An carry collapse of civilized society in Eu- rope, unless some means not now seen can be devised of averting it, was predicted today by Sir Robert Horne, former chancellor of the British exchequer, at a luncheon of the English speaking union of the United States. Viscount Burnham, president of the British Press union and chief owner of the London Daily Telegram, and Dean A. V. Baille of Windsor Chapel were other speakers.
 Discussing conditions in Ger many, Sir Robert said the only way to keep capital in Germany was to make German capitalists believe Germany was-a fit place for Ger man capitalist to live.
 You must create confidence" he added, "and you cannot create confidence if you begin to seize by force any of the material on which Germany depends to carry on her trade. We hope we are wrong, but if we are right we are going to see

SCIENTIST TELLS ROMANTIC STORY
 IF b|G VOLCANOES
Eruptions Mean Much in Lives of People Who Have Never Been in Sight of
 One
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o.-How much volcanoes mean in the lives of all human beings. even though they have never been within sight or hearing of one, Is told in & new
 volume just issued by the Nations Geographic society. The publication is the first complete summary of the findings of six expeditions sent to the region of Mt. Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes in Alaska, by the Washington society, and of< the result of several years careful study of observations made by the expeditions.
 The book, '"rhe Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" was written by Dr. Robert F. Griggs, of the Geo. graphic society, and contains a great fund of new information in this little developed field of science. Within recent years the fascination and TO- nance of science have begun to cap ture popular imagination and this book adds a chapter to the wonder story of modern explorations and scientific study.
 Climate Affected.
 A tremendous volcanic upheaval that could blow from the top of great mountain 40 times the amount of earth and rock dug out of the Isthmus of Panama to build the Pan- anna Canal, leaving a hole large enough to contain all the buildings in Is cities the size of New York, is worth studying. Such a cataclysm occurred when the top of Mt. Katmai was blown off in an eruption in 1912 Climatic effects circling the world
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-01-21

resulted from the explosion, and the volume deals with these phenomena as we'll as those of the great seeth- ing steaming valley from which il derives it's title.
 In addition it describes the Alice in-Wonderland phenomena in the wake of the eruption-such as a temporary gigantic river that cruised along the top of 8 ridge; of streams that shifted their courses; ash show CTS that formed great thermal blank cts to preserve deep snow drifts; and flood that had a million times the destructive power of the Johns town dam burst.
 Name Not Error.
 An amusing instance of the care ful checking up of facts is related by Dr. Griggs, who tells how skep- tical chemist, after learning of the proposed name for the valley, set out methodical1y to count the col- umns of hissing steam, for fear the name was an exaggeration. He re- turned to camp to report soberly that the name had really been in err ror-the name, he said, should have been the Valley of a Million Smokes.
 The volume is not dry technical one, for thrills of personal adven- lures fill the pages. The explorer author relates in matter of fact fash ion how members Of the parties walked over acres where a misstep would have plunged them to a par boiled death in the seething caldrons of the valley, with the ever present fear that a chance gust of wind might snuff out their lives with some gas that was more deadly, if less

carefully considered by us in con nection with some of the ablest at torneys in Mobile and we have reached the conclusion that the pres ent amendment would not authorize the Issuance of bonds by the legisla- ture. 1t is very true that under the existing amendment the legislature can appropriate sum not exceed ing s1O,0o0,o0o out of the state $ treasury. but we do not think that this gives the right to issue bonds and the amendment was ratified upon the distinct assurance that the legis- lature would not be. called upon to appropriate any amount out of the state treasury. It was, and Is, the be- lief Of the state harbor commission and of all others who have carefully considered this matter that the con- templated investment would be self sustaining and would rebound to the great benefit of the state. and the people were assured in every possible way that they would never be called upon to pay any amount on account of this improvement.
 Will Seek Resubmission
 Tn NfeW, therefore, of the fact that the amendment does not give the authority to issue bonds, nothing is left 10 do except to ask the legis- lature. as was done in the good roads matter to re-submit the amendment with full authority to is- sue the bonds according to the plan actually contemplated. It is to be regretted that the amendment as adopted had this material defect, but we see absolutely no use in going through the form of asking the leg islature to pass bill when We would be compelled to advise the court that we thought it unconstitutional. Such a course would mean unnecessary de- lay and expense and we believe that 1t would result in no possible bene- fit. We hope that the new amendment to be submitted to the people can be made selfexecuting,. so that the work will not be unnecessarily de- layed.s In the meantime the state harbor commission is engaged in the most intensive study and considera- tion Of all phases of the contemplated improvements, and it is our belief that as soon as the new amendment is adopted. We will be able to start at once upon this great work, so filled with possibilities of good to our entire state,"
