HUGE DEATH TOLL
 IN RHINE FLOODS
Worlds Smallest Principaity
 Nearly Oblite7ated

Bregonz, Austria, Sept. 27 Pl- Nearly the whole of the principality Of Iiechktenstein, flooded through the breaking of the Rhine dam, is reported as presenting the appear ance of a huge bog. with only the bolder housetops and church spires protruding from the mud.
 The entire adult population of about 9,000 is laboring feverishly to cut passageways through the mud sloughs 10 their homes, wherever the recession of the flood waters permit The children are being kept on high ground as are the re- maining cattle, which would other wise sink in the soft ooze.
 II is believed at least three weeks will be required to dig most Of the villages from their blankets of mud.
 London, Sept, 27 RHStores of lives are believed to have been lost in Alpine floods which inundated the principality Of Liechtenstein, the eastern section of Switzerland and the upper Trentino, Italy, after tre- mendous rains over the week end.
 Especially affected are those val leys whose waters join the Rhine above Lake Constance. while the upper Rhine itself is amazingly swollen and the lake is fifteen feet above normal.
 The actual total fatalities are un- known and cannot be reliably com puf"d until the communications broken by the flood are restored.
 Latest reports say tn. situation is improving somewhat, and sudden drop in temperature in the noun tain regions has checked the melt ing of the snow which largely con- iributcd to the floods.
 Leichtenstoin. which with an area of GS square miles is the smallest principality in the world. was almost overwhelmed by the inundation. The worst feature of the flood in that region was the collapse of 5000 foot concrete dam on the Leichten steinSwiss border allowing the Wa tcrs Of the Rhine 10 sweep over the tiny principalty.
 Many villages are under several feet of water and some of the in habitanis. caught by the rushing torrent before they could escape to the mountain sides, are believed 10 have pcriShed. The Leichtenstein has appealed 10 it's nolChbors for quick aid. The prop erty damage there will run into tht. millions and tens Of thousands of cattle were drowned
 There has been much damage at st. Moritz, Pontrcsina and Imms- bruck. where the gas and electric systems are paralyznd and bridges washed away. Train serv- ice on some railroads was stopped and on others is being diverted around the flood region.
 The authorities everywhere are taking energetic relief measures mohilzing troops and boatmen 10 carry help to the distressed popula. lions.

AIRPORT PROPOSED
AT BENN|NG TRACT
Gasque Measure Suggests
Purchase of Land of Old
Jockey Club.

Establishment of a municipal air
port for Washington on the 1S9-acre
tract of the old Washington jockey
Club at Benning is proposed in a bill
which Representative Gasque, Demo
crat, of South Carolina is prepared to
Introduce in the House.
Acquisition of this site, easily ac-
cessible from the business district,
would be the first step to guarantee
ways system laid out by the newly
created Aeronautics Bureau of the
Department of Commerce.
An appropriation Of $500, 900 for the
proposed airport is provided in the bill,
which has the backing of civic and
business associations in the District.
OF this amount not more than $37S,000
would be available for the purchase
of the site. This acreage, it was said,
would give the city fourways air
port with ample space for a large num-
Der of planes.
Mr. Gasque has been assured of sup
port for the measure from members
of the District committee, to which 1t
will be referred for action. Hearings
probably will be held on it in the near
future.
The value of a municipal airport
here as a link in a Nationwide chain
is stressed by Commerce Department
officials who are anxious to see Wash
ington follow the course of other
progressive cities in establishing facili-
ties for commercial aviation.

ROME READY TO TALK.
Preliminary Exchange on Presidents
Proposal May Be Sought.

ROME, February II R.-It is I'M
derstood in political circles that an ex-
change of views on President Cool
idges naval armament proposals will
be sought by Italy with England and
France and probably Japan.
Premier Mussolini is said to have
discussed the Presidents memorandum
at length with Marshal Badoglio, chief
of staff of Italy's entire armed forces,
naval, military and aerial.
The general opinion continues to
prevail that It2ly will agree to join in
a discussion of further naval limita-
items, with some reservations. among
them an insistence upon confirmation
of the principle, sanctioned at the
Washington conference, of an equal
ratio of strength between the Italian
and French navies.
Most of the newspapers published
Mr.. Coolidge's memorandum text
ually, but thus far there has been no
editorial comment.
The Pope expressed great pleasure
at learning of a further step intended
to lead to the maintenance of world
peace.

construction of the stone facade along
the south side of Maryland avenue
and extending back for considerable
distance toward B street. $465, 900;
for the rear portion, which would be of
glass and steel constru N, $3.50, 600:
for the glass dome in TIE central por-
tion of the Maryland avenue square,
designed to shelter the tall tropical
plants, $245 900; for the directors
quarters, which would be at the Canal
street end of the gardens, $35 900.
Mr.. Parsons explained to the com
mittee that the conservatory would
be al under one roof, but divided into
sections to provide for the various
types of plant life. The object of hav-
ing a stone front is to make the struc.
ture conform in appearance to other
buildings TO be placed along the Mall.
The interior and rear portions will be
of glass. The front part will have
numerous arches to admit light and
air to the flowers and shrubs dis
played in it.
Approved by Unanimous Vote.
The committee appeared enthusiast
tic over the project, and the vote in
favor of beginning it at once was
unanimous.
The committee also discussed the
bill providing for the renovation Of
the old Ford Theater on Tenth street
in which to house the Lincoln relics,
but took no action. Lieut.. Col. Grant,
director of public buildings and parks,
said the total cost would be 100000,
but that a considerable part of that
will be needed anyhow by the War
Department, which now controls the
building, in order to put new roof
on it within a few years.

pairing a fresh naval limitation con-
ference at Geneva President Coolidge
has laid his finger on the matter of
widest disagreement in the arma :
ment problem. Denys p. Myers of

parison of the Presidents message

report of sub-commission of the

armament conference, continued:
1.-THE sub-commission. made up of
military. naval and air technicians,
answered with fair unanimity a long
series of questions, but developed
wide differences respecting the
method to be adopted for limiting
naval armament. On this problem
FIVE methods were proposed and no
agreement could be reached, though
the cleavage was between the big
and small naval powers.
Report on March 81.
THE report of the sub-commission
will he submitted to the preparatory
commission when it convenes at
Geneva on March 81. President
Coolidge invites the principal naval
states 10 tackle the problem immedi-
ately in a conference instead of In
the commission at that time.
IF the Presidents proposal IS ar''
cepted by France. Great Britain, Italy
and Japan it will eliminate from the
the following four methods
of limitations, as follows:
