PACT ADOPTED
ON RHINELAND
Germans Approve and Ac-
ton Comes Swiftly.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
LOCARNO, Switzerland, Oct. 15.-
The final text of the Rhineland pact
today was adopted by the security
conference.
The action came shortly after the
German delegation had announced its
approval of the pact.
The German delegation made its
announcement in plenary session. 1t
was the first meeting of the confer
ence which Foreign Minister Benes
and Skrzynsh of Czecho-Slovakia
and Poland, respectively, har at
tended.
Signatures of delegates, Of course,
will not mean final contamination of
the pact. Before Germany can enter
the League of Nations, the Reichs-
tag must concur by two-thirds vote.
The conference then took up the
arbitration treaties among France,
Belgium and Germany. Delegations
Of these countries already have
adopted the text Of these treaties.

indentations, apart from the ford
like inlets along the Bay Of Biscay
to the north. and around the north
west corner where Spain touches
the Atlantic, might almost be num-
bered on one hand by enumerating
the little bays Of Cadiz, Algeciras,
Malaga and the harbors Of Barcelona
and Cartagena (Spain's principal
naval arsenal and dockyard. Spain,
too, has central plain, high, noun
famous and dry, where long mule
trains plodding along the waste sug-
gest the Sahara, and there is also
the fertile rim studded with flourish
ing cities and beautiful gardens.
In visiting Spain you will not need
to save much Of your time for the
central table-land, withdrawing to
an average height Of nearly 200
feet, and punctuated by toothlike
mountain ranges or sierras-occu-
pies over half the actual area of the
land. None of the great cities are
there, except Madrid, the capital, and
a few whose interest is chiefly his
toric.
But the coast regions Of Spain tell
a different story. There you will
find numerous large cities and active
industries. If you cross the Pyrenees
from France at the west-there are
now railroads at both ends-you will
come out on the lands bordering the
Bay of Biscay. which are the
wettest in Europe, just as those on
the central plateau are the driest.
The air is mild all the year round
and roses bloom at Christmas as in
midsummer. Here is a scene Of
active coal and iron mining. The
three Basque provinces alone, nest
ling at the foot Of the Pyrenees,
produce annually more than half the
iron that is mined in Spain. And
they have other active industries
grape-growing for wine, apples for
cider, and fishing, and IL the chief
catch of the intrepid Basque fisher
man is now the sardines that they
find in their "rias" or fiordlike in
let's, it is only because whales have
disappeared from this neighborhood.

rubber monopoly is underway.
Harvey S. Firestone announced
Wednesday night the organization
of the Firestone Plantations Conn
pany to develop rubber in various

"And then some" said Lippencott.
But Dawes no hog. He's a wizard
at the wheel, and so far hasn't killed
even a chicken. Drove a French am
bulance because he was too young for
the army"
David Lippencott was a slim, dark
young fellow, with deep-set eyes, per-
haps a little too close together for
frankness, but his mouth was large
and good-natured He had the same
appearance of languor as his brother,
but a glance was sufficient to show

Thus, before I had been in New Or

heart out of a brass Buddha. He
wrote his own verses and composed
his own tunes, and sung them to an
accompaniment on the guitar. He
also could whistle as. I have never
heard man whistle in my life. These
gifts, it will be understood, were
valuable assets where II was contem-
plated to keep men away from civili-
cation for some years. In addition,
Steve was like young Lippencott,
given over heart and soul to internal
combustion engines.
My visit to New Orleans saved me
much time, for there, through Lip
pencott, l heard of a small river yes
sci being offered for sale. She was
old, but in good condition, a motor
ship with twin engines of the Diesel
type. She had started life as a
steamer on the waterway on whose
banks she was built-the Clyde-and
had afterward been converted to in
ternal-combustion engines. Under

meters loaded, she was just the kind
of vessel that l had hoped to pur-
beam, and drawing slightly over >
Atlantic on a false bottom. l bought
her, through my master of supply,
and gave orders to have her altered
for carrying cargo.
AS Lippencott and I turned ashore
from our inspection of the little YES
sci, and paused by the gangway in
talk, a strange figure seated on a
bollard close by came gradually into
our consciousness. The figure was
strange because it was foreign to the
atmosphere of the place. A very stout
man it was, who, regardless of the

it took me some time. in reaching

My purpose in making for this
Am merican port was simple, for there
1 had a friend on whose discretion
and help 1 could implicitly rely. This
was a Southerner, an American gen

those who in the early part of the
European War had found way into
the British flying service. We had
worked together in the service, and

self had gone over thoroughly until
we knew we had missed nothing.
Lippencott anticipated no difficulty in
meeting our requirements and agreed
to scatter the orders so that any trace
would be difficult to find in the future.

refining plant. Then we had the
gas to tap. the chief having become
certain that a sealed reservoir lay
behind the wall OF the cave in which
we had taken the sample, ard this
meant the buying of rock drills and
piping. For utilizing the water of
the fall we needed hydraulic mains,
turbines and dynamos. Plant for the
machine shop was the next consid-

lathes and so forth. We had to have
cement for bedding down the engines.
And. finally, we needed agricultural
implements, seeds and potatoes, so
that we could cultivate enough land
to supply vegetables for the crews of
the airships when they should arrive
at the plateau.
To the task of collecting all this
mass of material, Lippencott applied
himself with a devotion and energy
which even his lackadaisical de-
meanor could not disguise, and he
was the means of putting two of our
best officers in our way.
