CORINTH Crew
FROM QUAKES
Moved to New Ground in
1858; Now LeveIIed Again.

BIZ Science Service
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
city of Corinth, completely shaken
to pieces by earthquakes in April,
had its beginning as the result of
an earthquake.
Ruins of the modern Corinth lie
three miles away from the ruins of
the famous old Corinth of classic
Greek fame. Old Corinth suffered
from earthquakes at intervals in its
history, and in 1858 it was so COM
pletely leyeled by the rocking Of the
earth that the people moved to
new ground and built new city.
Now, the new city is so badly
wrecked that hope of salvaging any
Of its houses is practically given up.
Reports from the ancient city
indicate that the shocks there have
not been serious, so that the task
of archaeologists who are excavat-
ing there will not be made more
difficult than it is now. Ancient
Corinth already is buried under
forty feet of soil and debris.
The city was sacked and RACED by
the Romans and then century
later was rebuilt by Julius Caesar,
and from time to time in its history
the city was a storm center familiar
with warfare and invaSions and new
buildings set over the ruins of the
old.
Archaeologists have removed
thousands of tons of earth to reach
a theater or villa buried forty feet
deep, and some of the most remark
able wall paintings Of Greece has
been discovered lately by the
digging.

SETTLERS LOSE
FEDERAL LANDS
/ FROM FAILURES
Lack of Production Causes
Tracts to Revert to
Government.
BY MAX. STERN

SAN FRANCISCO, May Ii
Uncle Sans great farm" of 1885,
100000 acres in the West is getting
bigger and less valuable at the same
time.
The ''public domain" is land held
by the Government and open for
settlement. Due to failure of
settlers, this great area lying mostly
in the eleven western States is in
creaSing. In 1925 it included 1885,
743,949 acres. In 1925 it embraced
195,043, 294 acres.
Because OF sheep grazing and I'M
regulated trampling by cattle herds
the range is becoming less produc-
tive of grass each year. -Four sug-
gestions have been made to meet
the problem of the deterioration of
the public domain. They are:
Offer Solutions
I. That the Government should
turn these lands over to the States;
Q. That the Government should
sell them. in large tracts to private
individuals;
8. That the Government should
lease them in large tracts;
4. That the Government should
set them aside as it does the
national forests, improve them and
regulate their use.
The last plan is considered the
most feasible.
Near State of Ruin
''The public lands must be con-
trolled, and that at once, if they
are to be saved from absolute ruin"

president of the National Tax AsSo-
citation. 1.-The best method to con-
troll them is still a problem, how
ever"

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Senator William E. Borah of Idaho
has gone straight to the crux of the
burning question of Anglo American
| naval rivalry with his proposal to re
state and re-codify" maritime law In
time OF war. The plan OF the Senate
foreign relations committee chairman
directly involves the whole question of
naval armament and Is destined to
have far-reaching effects upon 1t.
With both the United States and
Great Britain contending they must
maintain big fleets TO safeguard their
overseas commercial interests whenever
nations are at war. the problem Of
| rights at sea" Is fundamental TO their
| respective naval needs. II the problem
| can be solved by joint agreement. the
way Is opened to moderate naval arma-
mcnts. AS long as 1t Is unsolved. the
possibility OF a clash will continue.
With it will remain the necessity for
| excessive naval ornaments.
*
That is the situation In a nutshell.
Borah, with his intuitive grasp of es-
| sentials. recognizes this to be the case
| There Is reason to believe the Idahoan
will not content himself with merely
| placing the Senate on record in favor
OF re-cOdification Of the law. Borah
wants an international conference on
the subject. It has not been forgotten
| that 1t was his initiative that even
| tually brought about the Washington
Conference on Limitation Of Naval
J Armament. Toward the end of 1920, at
| his instigation, the naval appropriation
bill carried recommendation that the
United States should call a limitation
| conference. The Harding administra-
! ton was barely four months old when
1t moved in that direction. Senator
| Borah is expected to push his latest
! plan TO similar conclusion.
/ Since the Idahoan's proposal was
launched. on February 81, two impor-
tant developments have come to light
The principle one is that Borah s
scheme will directly and Immediately
| involve the League of Nations. The
Covenant OF the League provides that
the full power OF member nations shall
be used against an "aggressor state
The blockade power of the British feet
would be the Leagues chief dependence
in bringing such an offender to terms.
The Leagues theory Is that it would
| never have to make var on an lag
gressor state" IL the blockade were
"hermetical"
Would the United States respect a
League blockade? II the League were
out to punish and suppress Mussolini
and Italy, for example, would the
United States. as a neutral and nom
member Of the League. respect the
blockade? Would the Washington Gov
eminent place an embargo on sales of
American food and munitions to italy,
or would the United States Navy be
employed to see that our ships, carrying
food and munitions. were not interfered
with en- route to Italian ports?
DR.. William Martin. foreign editor Of
the Journal de Geneve. published at
the seat Of the League of Nations. has
just been writing on that subject. 1T

enthusiasm were instrumental in re-
moving the heavy debts resting upon

As first president Of the Washington

and steadily and tremendously extended
the weighty influence Of that body.
In so far as his own church was con-
cerned. his passionate witnessed a de-
cided growth in membership. while
the number Of persons who were other
wise the gamers through its beneficent
influence. especially during the trying
period of the World War, must be a
great one. So far as is known the
third minister Of the Church Of the
Covenant has not yet been chosen.
That he may be such man as were
the first two. and enjoy a term Of
service of commensurate length, is
sincerely to be hoped

Chicago's Latest.

Chicago's latest contribution to the
crime record Is on scale that shows
that the gangs in that city are not en-
tirely engrossed In picayune affairs or
In internecine warfare. A band Of
men held up train on the outskirts
of the city yesterday. terrorized seventy
five passengers and train employees,
blasted mail car and escaped with at
least $4,000. This robbery occurred
in the identical spot where train was
held up year ago with a theft Of
$l35.o00. The same gang. 1t is believed.
worked both robberies. The method
employed yesterday was such as to
suggest that there is something wrong
with the system of train control on
this particular line. The train was
stopped at regular nag point and a
passenger. who is believed to have been
one of the gang, alighted. A quarter
of mile down the track five men
wearing black masks and khaki overalls
tagged the train, which had resumed
Roadway. and the engineer stopped 1t.
whereupon the gang invaded the
coaches.
Just why an engineer should stop
his train at the display of a flag signal
by band of masked men passes UNDER
standing. There is no mention in the
news accounts of the outrage of the
use of any barrier on the track or the
throwing Of switch. The gang simply
stepped forward, waved the flag and
the train was halted 1t would seem
that there is need of intensive educa-
tional work on this railroad to cause
the engineers to know the difference
between ordinary track gangs and
masked bandits.
It is believed, as stated, that the
gang that held up the train yesterday
IS the same as that which operated a
year ago. These men are doubtless
denizeAs Of the Chicago underworld
They probably took their loot right
back into the city from the hold-up
spot. which was twelve. miles from the
downtown station. They presumably
know their ground thoroughly and can
exactly reckon their chances Of con-
cealment and escape from arrest. The
loot was in the form Of currency on
the way to meet pay rolls. In that
form it is easily disposed OF without
leaving any trace. unless the serial
numbers OF notes in the consignment
had been noted. But even In that case
1t would be extremely difficult to pursue
the trail of this particular money in
view Of the enormous circulation of
cash in Chicago.
The ease with which this train was
held up and robbed puts premium on
crimes Of this character. and brings the
frontiers OF our civilization practically
TO the city limits, within which indeed
atrocities and crimes unknown in the
old times Of the country's settlement
are being constantly perpetrated.
