were held up on the Austro-Hun-
garian frontier, have been destroyed
under supervision of an international
committee, including representative
of the League of Nations, according
20 a dispatch received today from
Graz quoting Graz newspaper.
The discovery of the arms caused
temporary friction between Austria
and Hungary.
The mystery shipment" Of SOL
cases of italian machine guns to Hun
gary came to light four weeks ago,
causing sensation throughout Cen
trail Europe.
The Little Entente-Jugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Poland
sent a formal note to the League
of Nations asking that the council
make an official investigation when
it meets next month. Owing to the
possibility of exposures which might
'cause international friction" the
bigger powers were said to oppose a
league inquiry.

Soviet Union Again PROPOSES Complete and Immediate World Disarmament
BRITISH TROOPS
BOMB REBELL.IOUS
TRIBES IN SUDAN
Murder Hundreds in
New Imperialist Attack

CA1PO Egypt, Feb. 20.---With the
avowed object of avenging the death
of Captain Ferguson, a British Off
GER killed in revolt in the Sudan on
December 16 by tribesmen of the
Nuer region, British and Sudanese
military forces with airplanes are OPP
Grating on two fronts in the Sudan in
a new little war for England
Although official versions insist
that the punitive expeditionary forces
of British planes and a number of
units of the Sudan defense force are
"of a police nature rather than of a
military character" details coming in
from Khartoum and other sources
plainly indicate that the process of
restoring confidence" has led to a
series of operations which have driven
diffident elements among the Nuer
tribe to retreat into the islands with
their cattle and effects.
Murder Natives.
While the British airplanes are
hunting down the fugitive native
leaders. another series of operations
is proceeding in the Lau area, on the
Sobat River, where trouble has arisen
according to British sources, from a
conspiracy among the witch doctors
against "the progressive methods Of
the administration"
Three columns of troops are at
work in three separate directions hav-
ing drawn a Gordon around the is
lands surrounded by big swamps into
which the terrorized natives have
withdrawn following the surrender of
the Nuer chieftain. -
An official report states that the
forces engaged are a fleet of the
Royal Air Force, a company of
mounted rifles, one Sudanese ma
chine gun battery, five companies of
the Equatorial Corps, two companies
of camel corps and detachment of
engineer troops.
Bomb Natives.
Laconin messages say that the
troops are advancing "precededgby
air operation which is inflicting easu-
alties, dispensing concentrations of
men and cattle, and bombing the
pyramid of Dangkur, the center and
symbol of the influence of the chiefs
as witch doctors"
The British troops are evidently
having some trouble with the Sudan
csc levies over the question of who
Is to advance first into the difficult
country. 1t was reported that Brit
ish officer ordered a Sudanese de-
tachment to advance. The Sudanese
officer having refused to obey, the
British senior fired at him. drawing
the native officers fire in return,
and causing a battle between the
British and Sudanese troops supposed
to be pursuing the enemy jointly.
Several casualties were inflicted on
both sides. The quarrel was patched
up by both advancing at the same
time.
