This announcement comes just In

or several thousand travellers, each
spending a goodly sum of money in
rares. hote! bills, courier fees, camel
or motor hire. King Tut's tomb will
probably bring close upon q million
dollars to Egypt this Winter.
The Egyptian government was wise
IN retaining a proprietary interest In
the tomb and it's contents. 1t was cor
rect In its decision that the tomb itself
should be preserved intact In it's posi-
ton. To remove it, stone by stone,
TO be reassembled elsewhere. would
nave been not only a sacrilege, but a
serious business blunder. In it's place

Elsewhere, in n more accessible situa-
ton, within ready reach of the wan.

GREECE AND BULGARIA
BY FRANK II. SIMONDS.

one of the great prizes of the Near
East. Serbia desires it as the outlet of
Macedonia, Bulgaria hopes to regain
Macedonia. and Saloniki with II. But
at the moment it is Dedeagatch and
not Saloniki which Is the real outlet
for the Bulgarians, who have no rail-
way approach to Saloniki.
Another cause for present disturb
ance grows out of the transfer of the
Hellenic populations of Asia Minor
to Europe, detail in the settlement of
the recent Greco-Turkish conflict.
Hitherto the whole of Macedonia has
been dotted with villages belonging to
different races. Now the Greeks, in ad-
dttion to expelling the Turks, are driv-
ing out the Bulgarians and establish
ing solidly Greek population
throughout their territory. This is an
inevitable consequence of the Asiatic
migration, for on their own narrow
territories the Greeks are compelled
of Asiatic Greeks.

Thus the Bulgarians see many thou.
sands Of their own race uprooted from
Macedonia and driven back into Bull
garia, while the Serbs are carrying on
the same operation in their part of
Macedonia. These Bulgarian popula.
tions have been the basis Of Bulgarian
claims for Macedonia and Thrace and
If they are finally replaced by Serbs
and Greeks then Bulgarian hopes dis
appear. Moreover, there Is the imme-
diate domestic problem for Bulgaria
incident to the influx of these destitute
Bulgars.
Finally both Greece and Bulgaria
are in a very chaotic political condi-
ton, Greece has recently had a revolu-
ton and Bulgaria has been the scene
Of very great disturbances and one
bloody tragedy. All in all. there is
nothing very surprising that the guns
should go off on frontiers, which have
been changing rapidly for the past
decade and a half or that hatred a
thousand years old should find new
expression.
Nevertheless the main fact is that
Balkan disturbance now has no
menace for general European peace.
No great power backs either country,
no contending groups face each other
behind the two small powers, as in
1914. Moreover, the League of Ma
tions, which was paralyzed in the
presence of the Italian attack upon
Greece at Corfu, because it had neither
the authority nor the resources to deal
with a great power, has today an ad-
mirable opportunity to perform use
full service-it can act as the agent of
a united Europe, of a concert of Eu-
rope. Balkan imbroglios are only
dangerous when great powers take
sides, but all the great powers are to-
day on the side of peace and neither
Greece nor Bulgaria after recent dis
astrouS defeats in war and long
periods Of disturbance is in any condi.
ton either to make a war or resist the
Inevitable pressure Of the great pow
ers. Despite all alarming rumors,
therefore, the new trouble in the Bal
kans Is not likely to reach consider
able proportions and can hardly in
terrupt the rapid progress of Europe
toward organized peace.

snow, Squirrels, Corn and Horses.

To those who hold to the mathcmati-
al formula about the weather Of Win.
Ter yesterdays snowfall was of sinister
import. II occurred on the 3Oth Of the
month. Therefore, according To an
old and, by some. firmly believed tradi.
ton, there will be no less than thirty
snowStormS here before Spring comes.
But the mathematical formula Is not
grounded in experience or in reason.
1t is altogether too arbitrary. and at
the same time too casual for accent
ance. Suppose the snowfall had oc.
CURED tomorrow instead of Yesterday ?
Then. according to the formula, there
would be a prospect of only one
visitation Of snow during the Winter,
that one. indeed.
Belief in the forecast of the Able
Gabriel of Paris, who has predicted the
seEerest Winter in several centuries.
was undoubtedly strengthened by yes
terday'S snow. When real snow suf-
hclent to cover the ground and to form
soupy slush comes before Hal.
ioween there is Il decided suggestion
that tn" theory Of the cycles upon
which the French astronomer and
meteorolosist bases his pessimistic
prediction is well founded.
Yet here comes a farmer OF this re-
sion who. interviewed in yesterdays
Star. gives the confident opinion that
the Winter is going to be mild. He
says the squirrels are not busy put
ting anything by this Fall. and when
the squirrels are negligent Of their
storage they are forecasting a gentle
season. Again. the husk on the corn
this year is very thin, which is Il sign,
according TO the natural weather
prophets. OF a mild Winter. Still
again, the horses have not yet begun
TO grow their Winter coats. and that,
too. is a token Of midness
Whether the Able Gabriel of Paris
or the squirrels, corn and horses of
Virginia are correct remains TO he

forecaster, especially as it happened on

Tempers will be badly strained, al

by approval of this regulation; its
benefits to a few will be more than
counteracted by the sitting effect on

mobiles should be allowed to stand
for a brief time abreast of other
parked cars. But this second line
should be mobile and should be cour-
teously and instantly put into action
TO make way for either street ira ffic
or inside cars attempting to emerge.
This condition cannot prevail with
the proposed new rule. Driverless
passenger cars and trucks will clutter

posed to remain within cali or

needles in a haystack.
No one possibly can believe that if

thirty minutes, according to the ratio

Some of these violators may be
caught, but the number will be pitt
fully small compared to the general
Inconvenience that will be caused
It is a significant fact that most mo-
torists will take just a little more
than is allowed them and there is
no reason to believe that they will
obey this rule any more than they
obey the scores of others.
Some way must be found so that
deliveries of goods in the downtown
section may be accomplished with the
least friction TO the general public.
But this is not the way. There is no
keener student of traffic problems
than Director Eldridge. If a solution
can be found, he is very likely to
ind one. The question, however. is
one for study, and not snap action
which will create havoc on the CITY

King Tut's Tomb.

When Howard Carter, working in
conjunction with the late Lord Car
narvon, found the tomb of King Tut
ankh-Amen in the Valley of the Kings
west of ancient Thebes, now modern
Luxor, he added an asset of great
value to the Egyptian treasury. This
asset was not merely the worth of
the treasures unearthed, rich as they
were. It was mainly the tourist at
traction that was made available for
the profit Of the Egyptian people and
government. No reckoning has been
announced Of the number Of travellers
who have visited the tomb. They
have, 1t is known, gone there in thou
sands. Few Of them have obtained q
peep at the actual relics Of the long
late king, the unhappy youth who
passed untimely into the bliss Of per.
petual entombment surrounded by
his earthly trappings. Some have
been favored by entrance into the
burial chamber. Most Of them have
had to be content with the view Of
the outside, a bleak stretch Of rock
and sand, tiny opening in the face
Of a hill, guard.
Now it is announced that the tomb,
after some months Of weather un-
propitious for work in the Valley Of
the Kings. has been reopened, the lid
of the sarcophagus has been safely
lifted. revealing within another sar-
cophagus upon which rest linen pail

of the American commission to bring
about an adjustment of the debt. He
is admirably posted, therefore, on the
debt question and all its angles. He
is entirely aware Of the American
French. with regard to the debt fund
ing.
Apparently the French government
has decided to continue with the debt
negotiations, although it was reported
earlier that the disposition was to
allow the American debt question to
rest for the present. There is reason
to believe that the feeling is growing
in France, as well as out of it, that
the settlement of these huge war
debts is a prime essential in seeking
stability OF the international financial
structure, and that the internal finan-
cial stability of France must in a con-
siderable degree depend upon a salts
factory arrangement of her foreign
debts.
1t Is well recognized in official cir
cles that the debt will continue to
figure prominently in Franco -Ameri-
can affairs until the problem Of its set

electric transmitting unit which sends
sound vibrations through the water.
As they rebound from the oceans floor
they are registered on Il receiver in
the ship. The depth Of the water is
determined by noting the lapse of time
between the sending and receiving of
