territorial rights in China throws into
clear perspective the nature of the dis
cussions now in progress between the
various capitals.
The exchanges turn entirely on
that point, since all of the powers
signatory to the Washington arms
treaties and resolutions already stand
committed to the principle of revision
of the special rights enjoyed by their
citizens in that country.
The expression of French opinion
that the essential preliminary OF the
prospective revision lis that China

tain il" is not entirely understood in
Washington. The only thing proposed
by Secretary Kellogg and given COM
plete sanction by President Coolidge is
that the preliminary study by an in
commission of inquiry lin

torial Jurisdiction in China, and into
the laws and judicial systems and the
methods of judicial administration of
China" provided for under Wash
ington resolution No. 5, be initiated
without delay.
1t is further provided in the
resolution that the commission shall
recommend to the governments suit

judicial system and assist and

government to effect such legislation
and judicial reforms as would warrant
the several powers in relinquishing.
either progressively or otherwise, their
respective rights of extraterritof-
ality."
The resolution includes both on the
part of the western signatory powers
and ofChina herself the specified
reservation that none of the signatory
powers shall be bound by the findings
of the commission of inqufrv and that
each may accept or reject such of
the commissions recommendations as
IL sees fit.
In view of these clear limitations
upon the nature of the inquiry to be
made, the American Government has
been able to see no merit in the con
tention that the inquiry should await
more stable political conditions in
China.
The Washington policy is based on
the belief that inauguration of the ex'
traterritorial inquiry would Of itself
aid in stabilizing the Chinese situation
and help to pave the way for an
actual curtailment of the extraterri
torial privileges foreigners now enjoy
and which have been continuously for
years regarded with hostility by
groups in the Chinese population.

Traffic ordinances passed several
days ago to aid in preventing conges-
ton about the principal thorough
fares have had little congestion to
relieve. Few times have there been
more automobiles on the main street
than could move freely.
Newspaper men and women from
all parts of the United States have
come. Publicity seekers of varied
types are here. The camera men
have snapped viciously at everything
even remotely connected with the trial
or the principals. Several different
breeds of fanatics came early. But
the thousands of expected spectators
are enjoying the trial more comfort
ably by radio or through the news
papers.
Among the host of publicity seek
ers are enthusiastic song writer's, who
have turned their genius to the con-
struction of what they hope will be
popular ballads, each with the evolu-
ton trial as the predominant theme,
and the majority with some breed of

During a preaching service in one
or the Dayton churches last night a
vaudeville performance was being
conducted in a tent directly across
the street.
AS the congregation poured it's feel
ings into the song service q tinny
piano banged and the piping voice

a jazz song. The conclusion of the
hymn across the street was punctu-
ated by the applause given the per
formers in the tent.

Far from the crowded courtroom in
Dayton, Tenn, enjoying the cool and
quiet of his ranch in the Hood River

Mr. Neal asked the attorney general

"sneering remark" alleged to have

Richard Beamish, chairman of the

The committee recommended that the

Judge Raulston asked the source of

come before the court and Judge
Raulston asked if he had a statement

Marine in 1887 Is the battle cry of the
Rainbow Division of the World War
in reunion here and it appears as
though the program to be followed
will be New York as the convention
city in 1926. Des Moines in 1927 and
Chalons, France, in 1928.
July 10. 1928, will be the tenth
anniversary of the beginning of the
battle of the Champagne and it seems
to be the unanimous opinion of the
boys that we ought to be there at the
time" said Col Noble B. Judah.
The delegates prepared to choose
their convention city for 1926 and elect
officers today.
The Rev. Francis p Duffy of New
York, chaplain of the 42nd Division
(Rainbow) veterans organization. was
elected president at the closing ses-
sion. Sergt. Fred Crawford of Chi
cago. who fought with the 149th Field
Artillery, was named honorary presi-
dent. Other officers chosen included;
Elmer F. Neagle, Washington. d. c.,

president.

appointed by Father Duffy later.

most important French points in the
Fez projections, and at Bah Morouj,
near Taxa.
ADD d-el-Krim is straining every nerve
in preparation to strike q blow
against the French before the Franco
Spanish cooperation becomes effective.
All the Information gathered by the
French intelligence service tends to
bear out this assertion.
The Riffian propaganda is especially
active and appears to be meeting
with success. notably among the
Tsouls and Branes in the Taxa region,
of which tribes further portions have
gone over to Abd-elkrim.
These defections are also beginning
to have an effect upon the Tohiatas,
a warlike tribe, whose abandonment
would be a serious complication for
the French.
Intermittent fighting continues all
along the line. Although of minor
character, it is extremely wearing
upon the troops. who are suffering
from the heat and from the strain of
constant vigilance.
A French bombing plane broke
down yesterday. forcing a landing
three miles in front of the French
lines near Taxa. Another machine
went to the rescue, but its pilot. seeing
the non-commissioned officers of the
first plane surrounded by Riffians,
gave them up for lost. The two,
however, came into the French lines
later, having fought their way
through the enemy lines with their
carbines and bombs.
Their plane, which was the first to
fall into enemy territory. was destroy
ed by shots from French field pieces.

Key to Two Cbontinents.
1T was this barrier which became
the key of the two continents in an

repulsed Egyptian invasions from
time immemorial. 1t was this barrier
which prevented Asiatic domination of
Africa. Hebrews many thousands of
years ago named this barrier Megiddo
which means Battle of the Mountain
Later the Greeks translated the name
making 1t Armageddon, meaning the
same thing.
Through centuries the fortress on
the mountain dominated the plains,
passes and valleys, controlled the mill
tary history of the East, until the eli
max was reached in 1918, when Gen.
Allenby took it in the footsteps of the
old Egyptian army and dispersed the
Turks. This brilliant campaign made
the name Armageddon ring in mill

Naturally, Armageddon is unparal-
leled in wealth and archaeological re-

although the Germans tentat lively be-

The difficulties are enormous be-
cause Armageddon is remote from

Again, 1t is known that Arranged
don contained a fortress completely
walled, dominating the town. We
have good reason to believe that this
fortress is absolutely intact. We
have just got to clear away the rub
bish and there it is. Naturally such
fortress, completely preserved
dating back to early in the fifteenth
century B. c., or maybe earlier, is of
incalculable Importance.
Prof Fisher already has found
monuments and remains in the nearby
city of BeiSan, near the Jordan
where King Saul was hanged from
the walls thousands of years ago
Such preliminary discoveries point
the way for our work
again we expect to find not only
monuments and the fortress but the
