"Oom Paul. Kruger of the Transvaal l.
There is now a rumor that part of
his fortune in gold bars and coin has
been dug UP. Kruger left an estate
valued at three and three-quarter
million dollars. More than three mil
lion dollars in gold, representing the
bulk of his wealth. was cemented in
the hold of the bark Dorothea, which
sank on Tenedos reef, off the coast Of

TEUTON MERCHANT SHIPS
a. PER CENT OF TOTAL
tonnage in 1914 Was IL Per Cent
of Worlds Shipping-Hope
for Gains. s.

BY the Associated Press
HAMBURG, September 5.-The Ger
man merchant fleet constitutes only
per cent of the 1924 world tonnage
as against 12 per cent in 1914, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
Hamburg Shipbuilding Association.
The prospects for further construc-
tion which so far Is only per cent
Of the German pre-war tonnage, is
designated as exceedingly gloomy.
The operating expenses are declared
now to be equal to the worlds stan
dard.
The association deplores the lack of
a commercial shipping agreement
with most countries as handicapping
German shipping. 1t opposes exces-
sive protective tariffs and supports
the principles established at the In
ternational Shipping Conference by
virtue of which every country will
tax its own shipping and permit for
eign ships to be immune.
The report declared that the inaugu-
ration of the Dawes plani will en-
liven world trade SO that shipping g
eventually will profit.

DISARMAMENT ROW
ISSUES NOW CLEAR
Differences Between France
and Britain Mainly in
Form of Conference.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
GENEVA, September 5.-The issues
in the great disarmament debate now
are clear. The first question is
whether disarmament shall be fully
consindered here now by the League
of Nations or left by general con-
ference later which might be attend
ed by the United States, Germany and
Russia.
France wants disarmament dealt
with here and refuses to countenance
the idea of a general conference
elsewhere. Great Britain believes
that disarmament without the United
States. Germany and Russia is i'm
practical, and therefore insists on a
general conference, but is willing that
it shall be held at Geneva under the
auspices of the league, and believes
that the United States, Germany and
Russia could be persuaded to coop
crate.
Would Last Months
The conference, according to Brit
ish ideas, would last many months
I'D the work would be done in COM
missions while the chiefs of state
would attend merely periodically to
oversee and direct the work.
The second question is whether the
present debate shall be based on the
text of the leagues draft of the
treaty of mutual assistance or some
new text. The British want a new
text The French will defend the
leagues text, but largely as a matter
of form. They are willing to modify
it even bebyond recognition.
The third question is that of COM
rulsory arbitration of international
disputes. France and Great Britain,
and indeed the whole league assem-
hi
mcnt of this idea as the only way to
organize world peace. Many details,
however, remain to be settled; for
! example, whether the So-called op-
tional clause of The Hague Court
constitution is sufficient or whether
ii new text is necessary, whether the
arbitral body should be The Hague
Court or some new body, whether this
new body should be permanent or
specially chosen in each case, and
finally whether all disputes or only
some should be arbitrated, and
which disputes.
Think Sanctions Provided.
The fourth question is that known
diversely as security or sanctions
The British think the league covenant
already provides sufficient sanctions
. TO make the arbitral award effective
and to restrain aggression. The
French consider the covenant vague
and want definite understanding In
writing that the signatory states will
make common armed cause against
aggression.
There rs something like agreement
that the so-called American plar
gives the best and most practical
definition of aggression and there is
Il good chance that this American
feature will be adopted.
The fifth question is that Of par.
ticular defensive alliances under the
league auspices. Great Britain is
radically opposed to these alliance:
and will do everything in it's power
to dissolve them. France considers
that only such alliances can provide
the immediate defensive measures
necessary to check aggression pend
ing the time when all league member:
kill rally to the victims support
he immediate problem of Premiers
erriot and Macdonald is how tc
reconcile the opposing positions.

Heavy Shows In

Heavy snowfall in the vicinity of
Arrowhead and Big Bear Lakes
during recent storms has not inter

section, according to letter from
the touring bureau to the local of
flee of the Southern California Au

The fall at Arrowhead Lake was
six inches, the letter said. Water
man Canyon itself was not affect
ed and is in good condition for
automobile travel. The mud from
Pine Crest to the lake requires that
put on skid chains before
attempting that part of trip.
At Big Bear Lake the snowfall
was reported as reaching eight in

ling has been reported. The letter
states that it is not advisable I,
attempt either Mill Creek or Crest
