Since there were few people about

superintendent, was In q Morris two

Bill declared that he had not seen
the empty Morris which Green had
reported stopped on the golf course.

Jimmie smiled. "If there was no

SUNKEN CITY FOUND
UNDER BLACK SEA
Soviet Scientists Discover
Ruins Dating Back to
200 and 400 Be.
~ the Associated Press.

A6oOCAAtCQ
MOSCOW, U. s. S. r., August 25.--
On the southwestern extremity of the
Crimean Peninsula, near Sebastopol, the
floor Of the. Black Sea has revealed to
Soviet Psychologists an ancient buried
city, which Is believed to have thrived
between the fourth and second centuries
B. G.
Location Is Verified.
An expedition which was sent there
three months ago by the State Academy
Of Arts reported yesterday that its opera
tons had uncovered the remains Of old
KhersoneSs, the existence of which had
long been suspected, but never verified.
About 40 feet under the sea, the expe-
dition divers and motion picture photog-
raphers found the ruins Of city in the
shape OF q gigantic horseshoe. with
walls, towers, houses and underground
tunnels honeycornbing the whole.
Archeologists here believe the city
was destroyed by the gradual sinking of
the shores Of the sea and by an earth
quake. The theory Is supported by the
fact that the southern extremity of the
peninsula has been receding slowly into
the water for many years.
Surrounded by Wall.
The city was said to be surrounded by
- WCA-HHCcCAfCu wall, WIFI tlCdA ~
a score of towers which. with the re-
mains Of the houses, are now choked by
marine vegetation. It's streets, monu-
rnents, cisterns and domestic utensils, 1t
was said, give evidence of what scientists
said must have been an ancient seat of
culture.
They established the approximate
dates Of the existence of the city by the
red clay earthenware and stone crockery
lying about
The limits of the city have been
marked by buoys on the surface Of the
sea and it Is planned to continue the ex-,
plorations and to make q detailed chart
Of the ruins.

DRY AGENT USING STOOL
 .' T0 A|D IN LIQUOR RAIDs

Through the aid of an informer who signs himself as Vim. Hogan, it has been possible for Prohibi- tion Agent Spalding to apprehend a number of violators of the dry law in Anchorage lately and there is seen in this new method of procedure, the possibility of dry ing up that community as it was never dried before.
 Tn fact, the opinion is expressed there is scarcely a limit to which the operations of the infOrmer may be carried, even private homes being exposed to invasion should the agent desire to use his ally in launching a drive against home brewing and private stocks of hard liquor for home consump- tion, reports the Anchorage Times.
 All that is needed to obtain warrant to search a home is an affidavit of sale and should a raid based on such an affidavit be pro- ductive of results, the possessor of the liquor thus found might have a hard time getting out of court without a fine.
 The argument is advanced that anyone who will hire out as an informer might not have any scruples against making a false affidavit.
 The infor.ner who styles himself Wm Hogan has been used on five warrants and four of the search es resulted in the finding of liq- uor.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Bernard
Baruch, financier and prominent
Democrat opposes cancellation Of
war debts, believes the United
States is emerging from the depres-
sion, and thinks the finger of fate

Dental possibility.
Baruch, former chairman of the
war industries board, gave his views
to $50 reassembled members Of the
war organization at an Armistice
day reunion. The gathering includ-
ed many prominent industrialists,
flnanciers and business executives.
If we forgive the money that
is owed u.s." Baruch said of war
debts, "the American taxpayer,
manufacturer, laborer and farmer
must pay them because the receipts
from war debts have become part
Of our budget"
He said he believed the spirit of

depression had been broken and
that this country would continue
on to a new era of growth and
prosperity. At the same time he
called on France and other CONT
mental countries to strengthen the
foundations of European peace as
condition of any additional aid.
Peace in Europe, he said, "lies in
the hollow of the hand of France.
1t is for her to say If peace and
happiness shall reign over Europe.
1t would be unwise for us to sub
NIT to any change in debts or repa-
rations until that is done"
At the conclusion of his address
he paid tribute to Governor Richie
as the man ito whom the finger OF
fate seems to point as being perhaps
destined to move to the White
