Costes and Lebrix Reach
San Francisco Through
Snow and Rain

SAN FRANCISCO, March z Up
Captain Dieudonne Costes and Lieu
tenant Joseph Lebrix, French globe
touring aviators, ended their trans
continental and American flight here
tonight when they arrived at Mills
field at 4:56 p. m, from Rock
Springs, Wyo., in their plane, the
NungeSser-
The fliers made q good landing
and appeared in excellent spirits.
Despite a drizzle there was a good
crowd at the field to receive them.
The air1nen reported bad conditions
for flying ever since they left Rock
Springs, Wyo., at 9:06 a. m, with
rain and wind storms encountered
every few miles. They ran into some
snow. Visibility was poor, and the
fliers suffered somewhat from cold at
high attitudes. At times, they said,
low flying was necessary in order
to keep on their course.
In the crowd at the field to well
come the airmen were several San
Francisco supervisors. who extended
the city's greetings officially, and
Maurice Heilman. French consul
general. Major G.. c. Brandt from
CrisSy field, took charge of the visit
ors as representative of the U. S.
army. The local French colony was
out i'll force.
The fliers were escorted to the
Hotel Whitcomb, where they changed
clothes and swallowed some hot cof-
fee. After the refreshment, they
announced themselves ready for what
ever entertainment San Francisco mad
outlined for them.
The program tonight called only
for an informal dinner as guests OF

Britain's Stand Drops Like

To Prosecute His Holy
War in East
IMP SEEN

LONDON, March 8P-The stern
note which Great Britain presented
to Egypt, stating in effect that the
British will not grant full independ-
ence to that country at present has
been coupled with the "holy war"
in Arabia to create situation which
may affect British relations through
out the near east to the borders of
India. III
Dispatches tonight from Egypt
assert that the political situation
there is fraught with confusion, un-
certainty and excitement. Egypt is
without a cabinet, but the nationalist
leader, NahaS PaSha, after an hour'G
audience with King F'uad, declared
that constitutional governments would
be formed as long as the constitution
exists.
The British note, which apparently
dropped like a bombshell in Cairo
political circles after the breakdown
of negotiations for an Anglo Egyptian
alliance, makes it clear to the Nile
country that Great Britain will not
tolerate any legislation that is likely
to hinder English power in protecting
foreign life and property in Egypt.
The note reveals that the British
government for some time has feared
such legislation would be adopted by
the Egyptian parliament. So long as
there was prospect OF a treaty OF
alliance, however, Britain refrained
from expressing these fears.
Well-informed British observers be-
lieye that the home government now
has said its final word and that the
burden of the next move in the
imbroglic rests on Egypt. Shorn of
diplomatic verbiage, the position is
about as follows:
Egypt declines to sign any treaty
of alliance which does not accord
absolute independence to her. She
rejects the right of England to
maintain troops in Egypt or to have
any control over the Egyptian police.
Britain, on the other hand, firmly
intends to keep her troops there,
believing the soldiers are necessary
for protection of the Suez Canal She
also insists on maintaining a measure
of control over the Egyptian police
and observers explain that this is to
prevent any situation arising which
might result in some other power
taking hand in Egyptian affairs.
Whether Egypt signs such treaty
or not, Great Britain viii stick to
these demands, in the opinion OF
British observers.

Moving Picture Album
BY ROBERT e. SHERWOOD.

When the Paramount officials first
planned this production, 1t was in
tended that the scene of the story
should be Yale. AS Mr.. Tuttle, the di-
rector. was a Yale. alumnus himself,
It was considered that he could be

doubtlessly valuable publicity which
this film would give 1t. They guessed
that a bevy of greaSe-painted actors,
loud-mouthed directors and obStrusive
cameramen would be somewhat of
nuisance on the campus, and might
even try to invade the sacred tomb OF
skull and bones.
So Yale passed up this attractive
opportunity and the Paramount COM
pany went to Princeton. They found
Old Nassau to be more amenable to
reason than Old Eli, and they were
allowed to make use of the dormitorieS,
lecture halls, clubs and stadium for To-
cations, with bevieS of authentic Prince
ton students. for background and at
mosphere.
They were those at Princeton who re-
gretted this concession, the most vocif-
erous objector being the Princeton
Tiger, the college comic paper. The
Tigers editors felt that Princeton would
become an object of derision among
other colleges, because it had yielded
to the advances of the very same movie
magnateS who had been haught1ly
turned down by Yale.
However, I don't think that Prince
ton will be utterly ruined by the en-

Films Prevent Crime.

MOTION pictures Of the underworld,

many youths from following career
of crime. According to Edward

Mr.. Laemmle. Instead of instigating
them to commit crime, as claimed by

instilled into the minds of the youthful
spectators wholesome regard for the

for vice. The effect of fear upon
