Bombing of Cities Seen
 As Feature of Next War

CIeveland. March 7.-Belligerent nations will not try to kill enemy soldiers in the next war. Benedict Crowell, assistant secretary of war under former President Wilson de- clared here in a recent address.
 The League of Nations is failing, '" declared Mir. Crowell. The nation or group Of nations which enters the next war adequately equipped with tanks, gas and airplanes. will win q quick and probably decisive victory. In the next war, governments will use sneezing or laughing gas, or anes- thetics. to put men temporarily out of the fighting. Death dealing gases were used less and less as the last war progressed, and that shows the tendency. 4 high ranking German officer said after the armistice that it was General Tank and not the genius of Marshal Foch, that turned the tide against the Germans.
 ''Airplanes will jump over armies and attack the directing brains be- hind. l believe that bombing of cities is not only iustitiable, but will be carried out in the next war Supply depots and junction points will

LIVERPOOL IS GLOOMY
1923 Goes Down in History as the Worst Year in Shipping English Port Has Seen

Liverpool, March 7.--From the point of view of shipping. 1923 was about the worst year Liverpool can remember: there are, however. signs of Improvement for since January 1 there has been greater demand for tonnage in many directions. This was statement in an address made recently by Sir R. Burton Chadwick, president Of the Liverpool Shipping Stairs association.
 Continuing his remarks the speaker said shipowners should endeavor to cheapen operating costs and increase efficiency rather than expect high freight and passenger rates. One of the greatest hindranccs of the ship owner today was the extraordinary delay in turning round his ship. com hined with the high port charges. Both those factors were not the result of high wages, but of poor work for that wage.
 The question of carrying British cargoes in foreign shSs was dealt with. on the same occasion by J. II. Shamrock, former director of one of the big steamship lines. He deplored the fact that some British shippers were sending cargoes in foreign ships and paying their freights to foreign ship-owners, while many British sea- men were walking the streets.
 The Liverpool Underwriters Asso- citation also met in conference a few days ago, and the president, Samuel Barker, made a pessimistic report. The only cheerful feature in the car go business, he said, was that there had been n considerable reduction in the amount of loss suffered through theft and piferage. It was as yet impossible to form an accurate esti- mate of losses to marine under writers through the Japanese earth quake.

Germans Approve Return
 Of the Samoan Property

Berlin, March 7.-German papers are commenting the action of New ealand in returning all plantations and industrial undertakings in Ger man Samoa to their pre-war owners. This former German colony was given as a mandate under the Versailles treaty to New Zealand. Under the management of Dr. Solf. the present German ambassador to Japan. Ger man Samoa became self-supporting. and required no help from the Ger man government after 1911 The New Zealand government retains con- trol of public health and education in the mandate. Savaii and Upolu, each of which has an area of about coo sapare miles. are the chief islands in this mandate.

sometimes breaking through into plateaus and hills, accounting for the 'Hoggar massif.
 Unknown to Europeans
 Part of this Hoggar plateur is we'll watered and productive but so few Europeans have been into the area that there is almost no descriptive material on the nature of the country or it's people available for the inquisi- tive reader. One of the most colorful bits of literature touching upon the region is Pierre Benoit's romance At lantide. It even boasts a skeleton of a river system though the water is temperamental about ifs flowing hours having called q strike many years ago. Sometimes the rivers run for a few months and occasionally for a whole year. The Igharghar, which is a large valley and ancient water-course eS- tending from the Hoggar mountains a distance of 500 miles to the Shott Melrhir, is still dignified by the name of River, though it is entirely dry. But in it's bed may be found few fresh water shells.
 "One of the ancient streams which rose in the Hoggar mountains the Taf- fassassent, is believed to have been, years and years ago, part of the course of the Niger river. In Cretaceous times, some geoiogists believe, great portion of the Sahara was under a sea which extended from the Atlantic to the foot of the Hoggar mountains. Fossil sea urchins, and nautilus or two have been recovered from vari- ous portions of the desert, seeming to bear out the theory.
 These mountains, through which the Tropic or Cancer passes lie on the borderine, between the Mediterranean flora of the northern Sahara and the tropical species existing to the south.
 Land of the Dreaded Tuarcgs
 At their base arc several well-wa- tered oases supporting large tribes of Berbers. They arc known as Tauregs and are among the widest of the nomad races that inhabit the desert. Once they had an unenviable repu- tation as the greatest robbers in the Sahara, but the French have been try ing to curb their taking ways. Their country is well placed to foster in them such tendencies. It lies on the trade route of caravans from the Niger to the north with poorly watered areas to the north and south. Most of the Tuaregs have become expert camel drivers in order to enable them to catch up with and overhaul their quarries.
 "The customs of these people all | ways provide a source of interest be- cause the woman of the family is the head of the house" and dictates the goings and comings of her better-self. | On the death of the chief the son of his eldest sister, in no case his own son, is chosen to rule in his stead, sub ject to the approval of the tribesmen."

SAHARA MOUNTAINS TOPPED WITH SNOW
It Is Through These That New
 Railroad Will GO

Washington, D. C., March Tt sounds like a raphical joke to say that the railway which the French propose building across the Sahara Desert from Algeria to the Niger river, though most of it will lie in the torrid zone, will pass through a volcanic mountain range crowned with snow during three months of the year-the Hoggar mountains of the Sahara" say a bulletin from Wash ington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographical Society.
 This vast mountainous plateau in reality about equals the Alps in area, but most of it lies only from 1000 to 5000 feet above sea-leyel. Two peaks, Mounts Watelllen and Hikena, lying about 900 miles in a straight line al- most due south of the city of Algiers, just pass the S,000-foot mark, and Mount Illimane rises to 5000 feet.
 Pet Notions of Desert Must Go
 When one acquires actual scien- tific knowledge concerning the true nature of the Sahara. some Of the pet notions one has had since childhood must go into the discard. The Sahara is not broad stretch of sandy desert, nor are caravans and armies engulfed fin the sands, except very rarely in that portion of the great expanse to the east known at the Libyan desert.
 The alliterative expression The Sa- hara is a sea of sand which so glibly rolls off the tongue is misleading and partially erroneous. for the surface of the desert offers great deal of variety ranging from depressions more than 100 feet below sea level to plateaus five or six thousand feet above, and in isolated instances even higher lnterspersed between the sand-dunes and oases there are also tracts of loose stones and pebbles and valleys which must in ages past have been the beds of streams.
 Across this wind-swept waste, whose surface Is continually changing. a broad band of rocks stretches. some times hiding below the surface and

Hamburg Germany. March 7.-Ths word Pullman" to designate sleeping cars is making its way into several of the languages of Europe.

THIS EVENING.
Adjournment Is Scheduled for
7 0'clock-Last Efforts
to Get Action
START ONE HOUR EARLIER
Farm Bloc Members Ready to
Try for Action on Relief
Measure

WASHINGTON, June 7.-con-
gress was called an hour earlier
than usual today for the final drive
toward sine die adjournment, set
by resolution for Z o'clock tonight
BY disposing of the reclamation
measure embodying recommended
tions advanced by the fact finding
commission of the interior depart
ment was the principal task on the
program of both chambers. The
proposal was attached by the senate
as a rider to the deficiency bill
which was ordered into conference
yesterday and action on 1t was held
up by the House pending decision
by the conferees whether to recon-.
mend It's acceptance as an amend,
ment by that chamber.
The conferees were unable to
meet last night but 1t was explained
that while House consideration of
the reclamation bill separately
under a suspension of the rules.
limiting debate and barring amend
ments. as had been planned. would
have required a two-thirds majority
for passage, action on it as an
amendment to the deficiency bill
called for only the usual majority.
Farm bloc members also were
ready today to make a last effort
to get action on a relief measure,
having centered late yesterday on
the Bursom bill providing thirty
five cent export bounty on wheat
and wheat products until December
1, 1925, which, it was estimated,
would cost about s15.000,000.
The motion of Senator La Fol-
lette, Republican, Wisconsin. for
discharging the committee on audits
and control from further considera-
ton of his resolution for continu-
ing investigation during the recess
of campaign contributions and ex-
penditures also held privileged
status, with considerable opposition
indicated on the ground that its
disposal would consume too much
of the remaining time.
His fight last night for discharg-
ing of the foreign relations commit
tee from consideration of the resol-
ution to provide s10.000,000 for
German relief, was lost after several
hours had ben taken up by discus
sion.
Another measure having privileg-
ed position in the senate. along with
the conference report on the de-
ficiency bill. was the proposal of
Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor
Minnesota, for an inquiry into the
"defiation of commerce, finance and
agriculture" in 1920. with attention
directed chiefly to the part played
by the federal reserve board and
it's advisory organizations.
