German Statesmen Plan
Gold Basis for Country

Berlin, Aug. 8.-Following the COM
plete collapse Of money values-marks
sell at 100000 to $1-Chancellor
Cuno called a conference of the six
political party leaders. One of the
conferences decisions was to place the
government on a gold basis. Besides
export and import customs, the gov
eminent will place the budget, rail-
roads, posts, and telegraphs directly
on a gold basis. Eventually there will
be new money system.
Rurnors of the collapse of the Cuno
government have arisen, but the cabi-
net is expected to survive, because
in the present state of unrest and I'M
certainty there is no big leader in Ger
man public life who the politicians
feel would do better than Chancellor
Cuno.

Constant Fall of Franc.
Alarms French Statesmen

Paris, Aug. 8.-The slow but sure
fall of the franc, despite all the efforts
made to keep it stationary, has in
duced unexpected activity in the
French foreign office on the repara-
tons problem.
Premier Poincare returned to Paris
from the country and went immediate
ly into conference with advisers on
Preparations. An invitation was sent to
Brussels for Premier Theunis and
Foreign Minister Jasper to come to
Paris to discuss the situation, while
M. Jonnart, French ambassador to the
holy see, returned from Rome to pre-
sent the pope's ideas for a solution.
A solution which might satisfy Eng
land and at the same time save the
Paris governments face was advanced
by the Temps. The Temps suggests
that the reparations commission take
action, involving complete study of
Germany's capacity to pay.

Greenland Statistics

Greenland's population, according to
an official census completed by the
Danish government on October 1, 1921.
the results of which have just been
made known, consisted Of 274 Euro
peans, practically all Danes, and
14,081 natives. The natives number
6,729 men and 1852 women. The area
of Greenland is estimated At 2,17OOOO
square kilometers, of which $4,000
square kilometers are free of glaciers.
The Inhabitants live along the coast
and on the adjacent islands that are
not covered by glaciers. Commerce
and the development of natural re-
sources of the country are carried on
as monopolies under the Danish gov
eminent and administered by bureau
under the ministry of home affairs.
During the calendar year Of 1921 ex-
ports amounted in value to $500 600;
the chief items were fish, furs, whale
oil, graphite and cryolite ore.

OeveIopino Mexico.

undermining Mexico, the government
has decided to spend about S20,00O,00O
on a huge irrigation scheme. A re-
port from a reliable source in Mexico
City is to the effect that the govern
ment has concluded arrangements for
the construction of a vast irrigation
project in the Yaqui river valley sec
ton of the state of Sonora Work on
the project will involve tbs expendi-
ture of about $20O00,OOO and the en-
ployment OF more than 10000 labor
ers More than 100000 acres will
be watered by the network Of canals to
be constructed, and 1t Is expected that
within this zone more wheat will be
grown than in all the rest of Mexico.
The contract also calls for the build
ing of a railroad. The awarding Of
this concession, 1t is explained, Is in
line with the policy of the Obregon
government to develop agriculture in
Mexico along modern lines.

SOLDIERS Say
CHINESE BANDITS
Twelve Hundred Trapped in Their
Barracks and Shot Down
Like Rats.
REFUSED TO OBEY OFFICERS
Spreading Spirit of INSTRUMENTATION
Compelled Act, According to Au-
thorites-Were Being Trained
for Regular Service.

Picking, Aug. S.-Twelve hundred
former brigands who were being
trained for service in Gen. Chang Tso-
Inns Manchurian army, were slaugh-
tered at Tsitsihar, Holungkiang prov
ince, Manchuria, on August 3, accord
Ing to reports reaching Picking. Seven
hundred and fifty of the ex-bandits
were trapped in their own barracks by
regular troops of Chang Tsolin's army
and slaughtered by cannon fire. Four
hundred others who escaped were re-
captured and publicly executed.
Refused to Obey Orders.
The wholesale slaughter is laid to
the alleged insolence of the former
brigands toward military instructors
and their refusal to obey orders. On
the afternoon Of August fifty Of
them were called into the tuchun's Of
fee and reprimanded, when they are
said to have laughed at him. He or
dered their arrest and execution as an
example to the others.
Orders Barracks Surrounded.
Later, when the tuchun went to the
barracks occupied by the ex-brigands
and addressed them, urging obedience
to military orders, several shots were
fired at him. Escaping, he ordered
regular troops to surround and attack
the barracks with heavy cannon. In
the interim 400 Of the former bandits
escaped. The remaining $50 were
killed in fighting which lasted from
seven o'clock in the evening until mid
night.
The remaining 400 pere apprehend-
ed the following morning and, accord
ing to latest reports, were executed
that afternoon

ReadIe Fans.

The beadle fan is an English inven-
ton, In which the revolving blades are
made with curved surfaces Of pc
culiar form, which impel the air in a
direction parallel to the axis of the
fan. IT is said that virtually the whole
power is utilized in making the air
travel and very little in simply
churning 1t up. 1t is believed that the
invention finds practical application
in the propellers Of ships and air
planes.-New York Herald.

thrilling feat in the interest of science.
With ten companions he will shoot
down 300 miles Of the widest an lost
treacherous water in the world, filed
with deep rapids and rushing whirl-
pools, in specially constructed boats.
The occasion will be the completion
or the survey of the Colorado river In
northern Arizona. This work has been
In progress since 1909, but the most
dangerous feat has been left for the
last.
colonel Birdseye has selected for
mis- party some of the most expert
Doatmen IN the WeSt-men accustomed
TO shooting rapids and handling ca
noes in wild water. Besides, he will
De accompanied by mapmakers and
biologists, who will chart the slope
and depth of the riVer md select dam
sites with view to possible future
commercialization of this great stream.
Most Dangerous Feat.
The feat is considered one of the
most dangerous ever undertaken by a
government service in peace time and
every precaution has been taken for
safety. Beats have been constructed
almost completely of separate air
chambers, with a small cockpit in the
center in which the mapmaker and his
Doatmen can sit. Each man will wear
a life belt at all times and besides
VIII carry 300 feet of rope, by use Of
which he may be able to reach shore
IN case of accident. These boats can
capsize, and probably will, but cannot
sink. The danger to the occupants is
that in the rough water their hold on
the boat may be broken or they may
be dashed among rocks. If overturned
In the water the boats would turn over
and over.
The river flows at this stretch
through deep and narrow canyons. At
many places the explorers will be I'M
able to see even a few feet ahead and
only the sound Of rapids will warn
them that there is danger ahead. Even
then they will be unable to tell
whether they are to run into danger
GUS rocks.
Six times in the past fifty years
white men have been through sections
OF this canyon, but have gathered little
Data which can be used by biologists
and mapmakers.
The maps available now cover about
loo miles of the Colorado and Green
rivers, with some of the chief tribu-
tartes, but these all deal with the
quieter sections before the river en-
tiers its great canyons, which are con-
s1dered some of the grandest In the
United States.
Will Require Month.
Colonel Birdseye and his party ex-
pect to spend about a month at the
work. Most Of the experts have been
selected from Western stations Of the
geological survey, as they already are
familiar with the type Of rock and
soil formations apt to be encountered
and have had some experience In
river surveying under difficulties.
The possibilities Of the Colorado
river as a source of power were be-
fore the public eye recently in con-
nection with Secretary Hoover's sue
cessful efforts to bring about co-opera-
ton among the states through which
1t flows and the present survey will
make clear just what can be accom-
plished.
But there is no alternative to the
danger and thrills certain to be en-
c0untered.

ton man, r. W. Burchard, Topographic
