RAIL WAY LOSS
IN FLOOD HUGE
Report Shows Toll About
Ten Millions.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Nov. l. - The
railroads sustained property damage
in the recent Mississippi River floods
of about $1OOOO,OO0, according to a
report by the American Railway En-
cheering Association made public
today.
The report, prepared by special
committee consisting of the chief
engineers of the various railroads
operating in the flood zones, de-
scribes the part played by the lines
in handling the flood situation and
providing relief for sufferers.
The actual cost of the flood is not
available on some railways, but the
list gives the figures on those rail-
ways which were able to report at
the time the material for this report
was gathered.
These figures, however, constitute
only the cost of protecting the tracks
and restoring them to normal oper-
alton and do not include losses and
expenses due to rescue work, loss of
traffic, detour charges and in
creased maintenance expenses,
which will continue for some time
on the flooded tracks. The Figures:
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi.

GENEVA, Sept. 7.-Rebellion oil

today. The small nations rebelled
in behalf of peace guarantees.
Former Premier Erich of Finland
announced that he'was in complete
accord with the Dutch proposal for
revival of the leagues protocol for
arbitration, security and disarma-
rnent.
Erich insisted that the entire work
of the present assembly should CEN
ter on arbitration, security and dis
armament. The attitude Of the
smaller nations obviously was
founded on the failure this year Of
the leagues preliminary disarnia-
ment conference and later Of the
Coolidge naval limitations confer
ence.
Support was demanded by Erich
for the Finnish proposal that inter-
national financial assistance be au-
tomatically provided any nation
which was the victim of aggression.
Poland submitted to the caucus a
draft of project to outlaw war, de-
claring war an international crime,
and rendering it impossible for
members Of the league to have re-
course to war Article Is of the
league covenant permits members
to engage In war under certain cir
cunstances.
At the close of the meeting it was
announced that thirty-five small
nations were pledged to support the
project.
