SHARPSBURG, Md, September g.
The Quantico marines ship came in
today-a twin engine Martin bomber
that SWooped down out of the skies.
almost running over with the $780,
900 pay roll of the Devil Dogs. 1t
was. perhaps, the first aerial bank of
such large proportions in history.
Today is pay day, the marines are
faf from base and they are due a
holiday in Hagerstown tonight.
Every dollar the Devil Dogs own was
locked up in the big vaults at Quanti-
co, and the only way it could be
transported to the sea soldiers in the
field was via the airway.
Piloted by Capt. r. A. Presley. the
bomber hoped off from the flying
field at Quantico shortly after 8
o'clock this morning. with 100000
and Maj. A. Z. Randall, post paymas-
ter, on board. Shortly after 9 o'clock,
| thousands of anxious Devil Dog eyes
spied the ship coming over the Blue
Ridge mountains
Get Busy Quickly.
By $50 o'clock it had landed and
within less than an hour the pay
master and his assistants, closely
guarded by special squad of men,
had turned over 100000 of the
money to the men and eager hands
were still outstretched waiting for
the remainder. 1t was noon. how
ever. before Maj. Randall heaved a
sigh of relief and Clipped out his
last dollar.
There was a particular reason why
the Marines wanted their pay today

doubling it this afternoon when the

Hagerstown finished within 2 points
of first place in the Blue Ridge
League this year. but the Devil Dogs
are confident of their own boys and
are cherishing ideas of high finance
as a result.
The Marines were up with the sun
this morning preparing for their
march to HagerStown. where they
were officially welcomed shortly after
noon by special delegation of citi-
zens and city officials. A number OF
entertainments have been provided
for their benefit, of which the base
ball game is the headliner. Tonight
several dances are scheduled
Yesterdays storm, which visited the
surrounding country, but almost en-
tirely missed the Marine camp here,
helped to convince the Marines that
at last the JinX of bad weather which
has followed them through the ma
neuvers for four years has been
broken. Although terrific thunder
storms ragged on the mountains and
in the valleys surrounding the Marine
camp here. only sprinkle fell on the
camp site. At the Wilderness, in
1921; Gettysburg. in 1922, and New
Market last year, as well as on the
Island of Culebra in the CariIhean
Sea, last Winter, heavy raihs and

selves, provides for disarmament
under control of the league, with re-
vision every five years, and permits
states which are not members of the
league to adhere to this treaty.
Big Powers Oppose.
The United States rejects the plan
on the ground that it is not men,
Der of the league and is inhibited by
the Constitution from pledging inter-
Fentlon in advance. But the chief
CRITICISMS of the plan emanate from
Russia and the present British gov
ernment and. to a less extent, Ger
many.
An analysis of official replies shows
that the United States and Great Bri-
tain think that disarmament should
take precedence over guarantee
treaties. Russia objects to any kind
OF sanctions or constraint. Russia
Great Britain and Germany fear that
the league council is not impartial
and would be too powerful. The same
three say that It is often impossible
to distinguish which state is the ag-
GreSsor. Russia opposes internationa al
recognition of particular alliances.
Great Britain insists that the league
plan is too complicated, too precari-
Gus and impractical and makes the
astonishing statement that adoption
of this plan would involve. not reduc-
tion, but increase of armaments.
See Suspicion Growing.
Great Britain and Germany both
think that formation of special de-
fenSive pacts would increase rather
than allay mutual suspicion. To these
criticisms the French, as protago-
nists of the league plan, reply that
disarmament is the real reason for
existence of the league, and that the
problem must be dealt with by the
league, which, moreover. has the ad-
vantage of being a permanent or
ganiZation.
They say that there can never be
real disarmament without CORE
spending guarantees, and that these
guarantees must be formally estab-
lished in advance as warning to a
possible aggressor, who Will be re-
strained thereby from aggression.
They contend that outlawing war
without an agreement to make COM
mon cause against an aggressor is
wholly illusory proceeding, and that,
as far as they are concerned, the
adoption of this or similar mutual
aid treaty would permit an almost

Minister Macdonald of England and
Premier Herriot of France brought
the weight of the governments of
the British Empire and the French
Republic to the support Of the League
of Nations when today they attended
the session of the leagues assembly.
A great audience which filled every
inch of space in the hall gathered
to greet the premiers and accorded
them an enthusiastic welcome, but
did not have the pleasure of hearing
either speak. for the two statesmen
sat quietly with their respective del
egations and listened to the debate
on the work of the leagues council

firms the report that fighting has be-
gun.

American, four British, two French
and three Japanese. Two American
gun boats and one Japanese are now
stationed at Nanking.
The notwithstanding railway to-
night gave official, notice Of the sus-
pension of all passenger and freight
service. Reports were brought from
the front by runners that the state
lines were less than four miles apart.
The reports failed to confirm that
shots had been exchanged, but de-
clared that a clash would come tomor-
row. as the weather was clearing up.
All junks and lesser river craft
have been cleared out of the river in
the vicinity of Woo-Sung in anticipa
tion of naval activities against Liuho
and Woosung. The last arrivals by
the railway report evidences that
poison gas will be used for the first
time in Chinese modern warfare.
They say that they saw gas contain
ers disposed in positions in Kiangsu,
near Nanziang. Residents of the
foreign summer resort at Mokan-
shan. near Shanghai, on the Hangcow
railway have been warned to return
to treaty ports.
