VISITOR SEES
EUROPE WAR
BY SPRING

NEW YORK, Nov. IS Q.N.S0
Descendent of two English Kings
Capt. r. F. r. McNeill of the Irish
Guards, arrived here today with a
prediction that a war in Europe
is a certainty.
He saw Germany and Russia as
probable antagonists, but ex.
pressed complete confid en- C
neither the United States mol
Great Britain would become in
volved. He said:
"There is not the slightest
doubt there is gOing to be a
war. It won't come before spring,
but it is coming. Germany is
prepared to go to war tomorrow.
She needs wheat and there is
no more fertile field than in
the Ukraine. And so she looks
to the East"
ENGLAND IS SAFE
Capt. McNeill, who saw front
line service from 1914 until he
was invalided back in 1917, was
equally positive Great Britain
wouldn't be drawn into any Con-
tinental struggle He asserted:
"NO government is strong
enough to put England in a war.
The man in the street is against
it. He would go to war only to
prevent a direct invasion.
Neither can I picture Ameri-
ca being drawn into a war. The
only possibility would be If Eng
land were involved. You may
say you would not jump in on
our side, but You would"
During the past four months,
Capt. McNeill toured Europe, visit
ing Germany, France, Rumania,
Austria and Portugal among other
countries.
Sees No Revenge
He could not picture war aris-
ing from the Spanish revolt.
Neither did be believe Germany
seeks revenge against France.
81 think people will go to war
only for something which af-
fects them directly. They will
fight only for something they
really need badly, like Germany
needs wheat fields"
His visit to Germany convinced
him Hitler has revitalized the ma
ton, he said, but is now ready to
sit back and allow General Her
mann Goering, Prussian premier
and minister of aviation, to bear
the brunt of affairs.

Winter; ';CIaim Denied

Mr.. Official Weather Man, on
his prediction for a mild and dry
winter in the Far West, today
found himself at odds with the
weather-wise Navajo Indians who,
through the National Park Ser
vice, warn that the most severe
winter in years is on its way.
The United States Weather Blu
reau foretold that the weather
would be warm with sub-normal
rainfall. The contrary prediction
was that of Navajo tribe dwell

Scientists Seeking Data
on Early Mesopotamian.

In the sixth millennium before Christ.
a migrating horde swept from the east
over India, Persia and Mesopotamia.
Many more waves of invasion were to
break over the hills and valleys of
these lands; 1t is not even likely that
this was the first. But we still know
so little about the early movements of
man in Mesopotamia that we cannot
say whether any race was there to re
ceive this horde. for wherever their
remains have been found they lie at
the bottom of all other identifiable hu-
man remains, writes lothian johnson
of the University museum, Philadel-
phia, in the Scientific American.
Their most typical product was their
earthenware vessels, for cooking and
other household purposes, painted with
distinctive geometric designs. This
pottery has been found In test pits and
trial trenches at such sites at Tell
Kukuteni in Baluchistan, at Susa and
Tepe Hissar in Persia, at Tell Halaf

They waited.
Young Daniels was restored to con,
sciousness and his wounds treated.
He said he had been attacked by
some one with knife.
Eventually the guests were sent to
bed.
Left alone, Tom went outside to look
around, and Longman sat down to

While he was sitting there, the

at the face.
The face disappeared and Longman
rushed to the door and ran after a
dim figure he saw vanishing in the
darkness.
While he was gone, Ranger Darcy,
attracted by the shots, returned to the
lodge, found it empty, and began an
investigation.
He examined the window through
which Mr.. Crichton had been thrown.
and discovered blood on the jagged
glass. An idea occurred to him, and
he raced upstairs, just in time to meet
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniels, the newlyweds,
dressed and packed. about to beat a
stealthy retreat.
Tom jabbed gun into Mr.. Daniels
ribs and accused him Of being one of
the Donahues.
"You threw Crichton through the
window, because he saw you stuffing
the box into Austin's pocket. That's
how you cut your arm-on the win

"Yeah," said Daniels, prove It'll"

Crichton didn't go over the rim. He

1EWS of the theft of the famous
SOLO emerald from jewelry

Flagstaff authorities, were believed to
be members of the famous Donahue
gang. They were also believed to be

lists that had that morning left by train
for two-day visit at the canyon.
Ranger Longman jotted all this down
on a pad of paper, donned his slicker
and stepped out into the binding rain

after sunset.
Lightning illuminated his path as
he crossed to the lodge where the party
of tourists was being accommodated.

The tourists were awed and startled.
Gradually their awe changed to In
dignation and anger.
Ranger L0ngman wasn't like Darcy,
the type of man to excite their conf

they resented his domineering manner.
Some of them refused bluntly to be-

Whereupon Ranger Longman became
