Every youth had done time in the war

Germany saw her opportunity and
seized It. The moment she was obliged
to shelve her war business she turned
all her formidable strength and en-

Colorado's Grand Canyon to Disappear

through thousands of millions of years,

now see is largely the work of erosion.
The action of the elements on those
sturdy walls is gradually flattening them
out. The river cannot cut much deeper,
for 1t will approach sea level, but the

att is an enormous task thus far ac-
complished over period Of many mil
lions of years. But really 1t is only a
beginning.
Il refer to this vast period of time
required to build and destroy the canyon
as a cycle of eroism. There is EVIL
dence to support the theory that five
such cycles have passed during the life
OF the world. Judging by the past, we
can allow our imagination much lati-
tude in guessing the future duration Of
the world"
The throwing up of the high plateau
is the mystery unsolved by biologists,
stated DR.. Davis. After the plateau Is
once thrown up, the river cuts the can

erosion, 1t eats away the entire plateau,
Five such plateaus have been builded,

billions and the carrier of German COM
merce; Krupp's was the matnStay OF
German wealth and its invincible
weapon of protection.
When the grand crash came in 1913
and Germany went down to defeat, 1t
carried its mighty steel engine and
brilliant steel god with it. To all ap-
pearanceS 1t was the spectacular end OF
a brilliant play.
But now, more than 10 years later
we must add a denouement, fourth
act, even though 1t may seem like an
aiIticlimax For at no period during
its dramatic history is the career of the
Krupp Works more spectacular than
it has been since the capitulation Of
Germany.
And so I shall proceed to answer the
oft-asked question, What has become
Of the Krupp Works, where they used tc
make Germany's mighty ordnance?"
According to the terms of the Yer
sailles treaty, all plants and machinery
and tools that had been-or possibly
might be in the future-used in the
production Of war materials must be
destroyed.
Thus in the Krupp Works the allied
with q peace task that seemed as great

Five square miles of steel lay in front
Of them. Huge cannon and smaller
guns, rifles and gun carriages, howitzers
and mortars, grenades and shells, ar.
NOR plate and equipment. Acres upor

nearly four years the le-drivers usec

forms and masses of steel could b.

the steel dreams of German militartsm

the matchless Krupp Steel Munitions

The plant did not remain empty anc

remarkable example and testimony o.
the ingenuity and energy Of the Ger

to sllrpaSs.

Third.CIass Tourist
Unpopular in London

London shopkeepers are not enthu-
siastic about the popularity Of the third

Contrary to popular belief, only small
proportion of American visitors to Eng
land spend much money. To-Day with
the most inclusive travel schemes ar

tourist population from the states ar.

agency guides and couriers. All their
expenses in most cases are paid before
they start-food, hotels, fares. prices OF
admission, and even tips. Europe, that
is. London, Paris and Stratford
Avon, can be done for $500 or there
abouts, and the visitor who takes ad-
vantage of the cheap travel agencies
has no personal expenses apart from
tobacco and post cards. According to
the manager of a we'll known American
bank in London, hundreds of Americans
arrive with no more than IS or $40 to
spend. Many shopkeepers say that
Americans are the worst OF all foreign
customers, insisting on seeing every.
thing in stock, but buying little. II
that is so 1t must only balance the &C
count. for all the most expensive hotels
now are crowded by Americans who

Source of Money
Disputed in Alsace

1t has often been rumored in France
that the funds used by the Alsatian au-
Economists for anti-French propagans-a
were provided by German nationalist
organizations, but the autonomists in
dignantly denied the charge. Now an
autonomist named Dumser, former d.
rector of the Alsatian newspaper Die
Volkstimme, admits in a recently pub
lished pamphlet that the autonomists'
money came from Germany. Dumser
says that he himself journeyed several
times to Switzerland and Germany, and
brought bark to Strassbourg large sums
from German nationalistS. He reveals
curious and amusing tricks used by au-
economist leaders to cross the frontier
without showing their passports and
how they smuggled the German bank
notes into France under the appellation
images of saints" Dumser's diSclos-
ures have aroused passionate comments
throughout Alsace. The autononist
leaders deny his statements.

Ban on Car Parking
Vexes LOndoners

London theatergoers who have been
in the habit of leaving their cars IN
Golden Square and other nearby
parking places are Tuning over the
new regulation forbidding cars removed
from a parking place to be returned
within an hour. AS two hours is the
maximum time that cars may stay In
any parking place, theater folk have
been in the habit of returning between
the acts, and, after driving away for a
short distance, bringing the cars back
to park again. 1t usually happened,
however, that another car was waiting
to slip into the vacated space, and the
displaced auto had, therefore, to lie
driven about the square or street until
another vacancy could be found. Under
the new regulation this practice ends,
for an hour must elapse before car
can park again in the same place. The
only thing the motorist can now do is
to make an arrangement with friend
to change over parking places at given
time, but there will still be no guaranty
that either Of them will find the va
cancy untenanted when they arrive. \

LOS ANGELES.-People who have
never viewed the wonders of the Grand
Canyon of Colorado are urged to do so
without delay. For DR.. william Morris
Davis, emeritus professor OF geology of
Harvard University, in a Summer ses-
sion lecture at the University of Cali
fornia, at Los Angeles, declares that the
Grand Canyon is disappearing so rap
idly that it will be only a few more
million years until the deep chaSm will
have entirely vanished, together with
the high plateau for a hundred or SO
miles on either side of it.
The Boulder Dam will not be to
blame for this vast effacement of one
of the true wonders of the world. DR.
Davis did not even mention the Boulder
Dam in his lecture. Biologists say
however, that the Boulder Dam might
delay for a year or two the destruction
of this wonderful specimen of natures
handiwork. But this cannot be foretold
with any degree of accuracy for another
several thousand years.
Fifth Of Great Canyons.
Moreover, DR.. Davis stated that the
present Grand Canyon is the fifth Won
der Of the kind constructed by the forces
of nature in that general neighborhood
The other four have all been destroyed
by the same forces of nature, and the
fifth, now at about the zenith of Its
glory, is doomed to 60 the way of It's
four predecessors.
In his illustrated lecture upon the
subject. 1.-THE Lessons of the Colorado,
Or Glimpse Through the Corridors OF
Time" DR.. Davis said that geology was
sometimes referred to as 1.-The science OF
imagination" but he declared it re-
quired little imagination for a geologist
to read the history of the Grand Can
yon and to form the opinion that 1t was
the fifth instead of the first Grand
Canyon.
The method Of destruction Of this
canyon. as well as that of its predeces-
sors, is quite easy to determine. he
stated, but some features of the forma-
ton remain a mystery. In his explana-
ton he said, in part:
"Crack" Theory Wrong.
1.-THE Grand Canyon of the Colorado
is one of the true great wonders of the
world. Few people who 20 there have
any idea of what they will see. A Wis
itor Immediately wonders upon his first
view OF the canyon what enormous
world disturbance could have happened
to open this great crack But study
will reveal that 1t was not crack. II
