Uncover Ancient City

The French government and Yale
university are uniting in the work Of
uncovering the ancient city of Doura
on the Euphrates river. The scien-
fists have been eXcavating for about
a year and the objects unearthed are
said to have thrown new light on the
little-known area of 300 A. D., as
we'll as the obscure Parthian civil
ization.
Up to the present time the finds
consist mainly of parchment records,
of no Importance in themselves, be-
ing mostly minor legal documents,
but of great value in supplying
names of officials and other data Of
the city.

Ant Sets an Example

People who are too busy to take

WOMAN Is KIDNAPPED
AND TAPPED IN AUTO
Tells Filling Station Employees She
Escaped When Abductor's
Car Stalled.

BY the Associated Press.
BAD AXE, Mich, March 27.-Bound
with adhesive tape, dog collar and
rope TO the drivers position in her
automobile, Mrs. Elsie Mills, Is, of De-
troit, drove into filling station three
miles south of here last night and told
of having been kidnapped. She and her
husband, she said, had received notes
threatening them if they appeared in
a civil suit filed against them by a
former landlord.
Two of the three men in another
car, she said, jumped into her machine.
They fastened her left hand to the
steering wheel, tapped her right hand
to the gear shift lever and tied her left
leg to the steering rod post in such
manner as to be over the clutch pedal.
Two of the men remained in her car
and forced her to drive from 4:45 pm
until nearly midnight. The third man
followed in another car. When the
latter became stalled on a snow-cov-
cred road 10 miles south of here, Mrs.
Mills said the two men with her got
out and went back, warning her not
to move.
&, "I took a chance and drove away as
Yast as could" she added.

DEFEAT OF STEEL
MERGER PREDICTED
Cyrus Eaton Says Proxies
viii Prevent Sale of
Youngstown Firm.
By the Associated Press.

GS tIe ASSOClaIeu EIeSS.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March as
The proposed sale of Youngstown Sheet
81 Tube Co. 10 the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation is defeated on the present
standing Of Stockholders' proxies, Cyrus
s. Eaton of Cleveland, chief of the OPP
position to the merger proposal, told d.
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
here today.
Mr.. Eaton said that 510,756 shares
are pledged in favor Of the merger,
4l2,571 shares against 1t, or definitely
agreed not to vote for 1t, and 262, 2TS
shares still undecided. A total Of $685.
201 shares opposed or not voting is
ed out.
Stockholders controlling more than
20 per cent Of Sheet g. Tube stock will
refuse to accept Bethlehem stock In ex-
change, even II the proponents Of the
merger should be able to accomplish
the seemingly impossible task of winning
over enough votes to consummate the
plan" Eaton said. "These interests are
so definitely Of the opinion that the
terms were unfavorable that they will
demand the full cash value for their
stock, which would be arrived at
through arbitration or In the courts"
Mr.. Eaton attacked the merger on
three counts: That the terms are unfair
to Sheet & Tube stockholders; that q
merger with Bethlehem would not bene-
1T the position Of Sheet & Tube prop
critics, and that removal Of the control
OF the company from Youngstown would
amount to q calamity in the develop
ment Of the Ohio industrial district.

LONDON, March 27.-The chief dele
gates to the Naval Conference, meeting
at st. James Palace, this afternoon
decided to hold plenary session week
from tomorrow.
It was expected that the question Of
some sort Of a security pact for the
benefit Of the French would come UP at
that time.
In the meantime important negotia-
tons are understood to be proceeding
among the British and French and
British and Italians regarding a Sc
curity pact.
The plenary session will be to dis
cuss the progress made thus far, the
idea being that all angles be brought
out into the open. AS one authorita-
tive conference source put it, Some
body viii have to do some talking"
French Ready to Bargain.
Aristide BRAND, French foreign min
lister, was reported unonicially today TO
have told Arthur Henderson, British
foreign minister, that France would be
able to cut her naval tonnage program
If the conference would produce pact
Of mutual guarantees for the Mediter-
ranean.
M. BRAND indicated that he thought
such pact should be on the lines Of
the League Of Nations model treaties
for mutual guaranty, which, to his
mind, would not mean that Great
Britain would undertake obligations
other than those which she already has
accepted under article XIV Of the cove
nant of the League Of Nations.
The Daily Telegraph, discussing the
possibility of Britain;s becoming guar
antor Of French security In the Medi-
terranean, declared: mo such pledge
can be given by our government"
Even the Daily Herald. the lone
Labor voice among London daily news
papers, declared: There are limits
beyond which the British government
cannot go in accepting responsibilities
abroad"
StimsOn Sees Macdonald.
Secretary Stimson and Prime Minis
ter Macdonald in meeting yesterday
we're said to have treasured each other
that the government OF neither would
or could involve itself In political
pact implying any new military obliga-
lions.
Whatever these two leaders and their
colleagues have in mind. there was no
denying that possibilities Of five-
power limitation treaty have been re-
awakened. The principal offer, 1t
seemed. almost certainly would have
to come from Great Britain.
It was doubted generally that M.
BRAND and his chief, Premier Tardieu,
would consider q mere pact obligat1ng
the signatories to consultation only.
