NAVAJO LANGUAGE KEY
is PUT INTO BOOK FORM
Father Bernard Haile's Work Val.
liable to Students Seeking Racial
Tie With China.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTA FEE, N. Mex, May s.--A
manual of the Navajo Indian gram
mar has been prepared by Father
Bernard Halle, o. F. M, of the Gin
cinnati province Of st. John the Bap-
tist, and which has just been pub
lished.
The work contains 320 pages. and is
the first comprehensive study that
has been made of the language of the
Navajo Indians, nOmads of the desert
of northern Arizona and New Mexico.
They closely resemble in many ways
the Mongolians of Asia, but whose
language, the manual shows Is far
more difficult than even the Chinese.
The value of the work also is of
interest to students of ethnology and
languages. It's sponsors believe. that
1t may some day furnish the key to
the suspected racial bond between
the peoples of Asia and the aborigines
of America.
To the layman the Navajo LANGUAGE
presents little but an avalanche OF
consonants, digraphs, glottal and as.
pirated stops. nasalized vowels, and
other difficulties.

TROOPS SEIZE LONDON PARKS
in SECRET MOVE DURING NIGHT
Roads Filled With Armored Cars, but Strikers and
Sympathizers Give no Evidence of Being
Impressed by Armed Display.

By Cable to The Star and New York World.
LONDON, May Londoners
awoke this morning to find their city
divided into a number of armed
camps. In the dead of night troops
with all their para phernalia OF war
were drafted from the outskirts and
quartered at strategic points. One
military force had been driven like Il
wedge into the very heart of the pop
ulouS labor quarter In the East End.
1t turks in Victoria Park, the public =
green pleasure grounds and breath
ing space-the only bright oasis in
desert of set, seething. dingy slums.
Where workers or strikers alike
were playing tennis or idling yester-
day on the grassy slopes, there are
now huddled lorries full of machine
guns. Every gate is guarded. The
whole park is closed to the public. In
case of a disturbance or riot tee-
phone or radio message would re-
lease the weapon that is ready to
strike.
Regents Park, on the fringe of the
aristocratic and wealthy West End,
was militariZed during the night, to
the amazement of residents of man
sions and bourgeois dwelling houses
that line it. Its dozen iron gates
are shut and for an extra precaution
wood barricades are drawn across
the road giving entrance to the park.
Uniformed policemen with two or
more special constables guard each
gate. 1t is useless to ask them about
the armored cars. which public rumor
insists are parked inside along with
troops, munitions and military sup
plies. They are sworn to secrecy
such secrecy as one became acCuS-
toned to during the World War.
Roads Filled With Troops
HYDE Park, monopoliZed already by
the civil organization for the distribu-
ton of milk, completes the govern
ment's line of defense of the northern
half of the city against labor's indus
trial offensive--a defense which could
be transformed in a tWinkling into a
base of attack If the strikers attitude
should become sufficiently aggressive
to constitute an immediate peril to
the community. On the southern
side of the river preparations appear
to be less advanced, or at least less
apparent. Yet business men arriving
from suburban homes to town this
morning relate how they became en-
tangled in long files of armored cars
that chOked many OF tne country
roads in Surrey.
Another source of astonishment TO
Londoners is the sight of guards

standing sentry at the Horse Guards

years. In different parts of the city
little contingents of soldiers wearing
their metal helmets were seen march

soldier in Whitehall was someth

WOMEN WATCH SNAKES
WITH GREAT INTEREST
Fascination Reptiles Exercise
Noted by Keeper-Indorsed
as Household Pets.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-That
the serpent has lost nothing of its
primeval fascination, is the convic-
ton of Robert Hess, for q years
keeper of the reptile house of the
Fairmount Park Geological Gardens.
Mr.. Hess believes that the lure
which snakes appear to exercise over
women is something deep-rooted and
long inbred.
Women are fascinated by our
snakes" Mr.. Hess said. "They come
again and again and stay for hours;
some of them standing perfectly alb
sorbed without moving, just watching
the movements of the big reptiles"
The huge boa constructors and ana
condas seem especially attractive to
the woman visitors to the zoo. the
keeper said. He attributes the strange
lure of reptiles for women partly to
the slight element of danger and to
the stealtniness of their movements.
Snakes have his Endorsement as
household pets, but he stipulates that
the owner must Danish all fear or
hatred for them before attempting to
keep one.

meath the arches of Whitehall. So
the presence of thousands of troops
in the East End and around the docks
this morning failed to provoke as
much amusement or curiosity as this
apparently trivial innovation.
Strikers Seem Unimpressed.
But there is another side to the
situation--the strikers. The latter
and their hooligan partisans may
have been impressed by the obviously
deliberately organized war-like dis
play throughout the capital 1t
might have been an ordinary Satur-
day afternoon in Poplar. Cannington,
Bar King. and down by the rough
quarters of the docks. judging from
the peaceful aspect when the Wash
ington Star correspondent drove
through.
Little knots of loiters at "A few
street corners were the only sign of
the strike apart from an occasional
pair of policemen sauntering to and
fro. but taking as little interest in the
strikers as the latter did in them.
Now and then a small car would rush
by with a sergeant and two or three
cops without raising the slightest
curiosity People down there had
seen Grimmer spectacles than that OF
this morning.
What were they thinking Of? A Sun
day jaunt for the family? Nothing
more. They were just doing their
Sunday shopping as usual with their
wives, seemingly unperturbed by the
military show intended to impress
them with futility of measuring them
selves with the forces of the crown
AS a matter Cf fact. several of them
when questioned said they were not
bothering about the strike activities
over the week end but preferred to
make the best of their weekly holiday
a group of men were asked. What
will you do if money gives out or
cannot he distributed?"
well there are shops. Well take
what we want" was their reply.
Many See Serious Future.

London is in no danger Of starva'

I have seen no drunkenness nor spirit
Of anarchy in any district. No cry

No sinister spirit has emerged from

We are all still rather starved for
news from other parts or the country,
although the government is issuing
the British Gazette and labor is pub
fishing a daily paper called the
British Worker, while the Times and
other papers are issuing news sheets
containing summaries of the latest
events. But these editions are linn
tied and hard to get, especially in the
country districts, where most of the
people are still dependent on wireless
broa dca sting.
Little Drama Found.
In thousa nds of households there
is a rush for loud speakers and head
phones which tell. us how England is
passing through this astounding or
deal. One sits listening with eApec-
fancy to this stupendous drama, but
so far it is absence of drama that he's
been the most surprising.
In some provincial cities temper
seems to be rising. There has been
more rioting In Glasgow, Edinburgh,
Hull. Leeds and other cities. Some
heads have been broken and many
arrests made. But there has been
no conflict of any dreadful kind and
our worst apprehensions nave not
been fulfilled. Here and there strik-
ers are returning to their work,
though in other trades men are still
coming out.
On a balance. at the end OF this

non-union men who may be ready to
take the place of strikers is bold
challenge which may lead to the
gravest consequences in mining dis
tracts and other industrial centers.
Leaders of the general strike have re.
pudiated all revolutionary ideas and
are appealing to all their men to
maintain peace and order to avoid
any clash with the police anc to keep
