GENERAL NEWS ITEMS


Out in Ohio it rained twenty out
of twenty-six days last month. A
great deal of corn, potatoes and
hay was ruined. Here it was not
quite so "wet'.
Sixteen miners were killed and
several badly injured by an explo-
sion in the Kettle Creek Coal Mining
Company's mines, three miles west
of Westport, Lycoming, county, Pa.
The Canadian Pacific Railway
corporation seems to be a power
greater than the Dominion Govern
ment 1t refuses to allow the con-
struction of the Red River Valley
Railway across its lines, notwith-
standing such construction has
been specifically authorized by the
General Railway Act of the Do
minion.
The steel cruiser Boston has been
ordered to proceed at once from
Kingston to Port Au Prince and
protect the interests of American
residents now threatened in Hayti.
The internal dissentions Of the
Haytians should not be permitted
to interfere with our trade or with
the personal safety of our citizens.
That was a fortunate escape of
the thirteen American whalers
which were caught in an isce pack
last September in the Arctic Sea.
But for the accidental and unex-
pected breaking up Of the pack five
hundred men would have been
hopelessly imprisoned through the
rigorous Arctic winter season, with
small prospects of relief or rescue.
The intelligence brought by
Arabs of Explorer Stanley's pro-
gress in Africa appears on its face
to be credible enough, but since the
period of time to which it refers
nearly a twelve-month period has
elapsed without track or trace of
the venturesome discoVerer. The
news, if true, is Of Importance as
a guide to search parties which
may be organized in the future.
Another Anti Semitic crusade
has been started in Russia. For
eign Jewish farmers have been or
dered to quit Poland, and foreign
Jews in southern Russia also ex-
pect to be expelled. While such
intolerance seems strange in the
ears of a nation of freemen, yet a
government which sends its intel
lect, its brave manhood and, its
tender womanhood to exile and
death in Siberia is not likely to
trouble itself much over protecting
people of an alien blood and faith.

Tribal Apartment House
Is Excavated In Texas

CANYON, TEXAS. - The first
apartment houses on record in the
Panhandle of Texas have been ex-
cavated on Antelope creek, north
east of Amarillo, officials Of the
West Texas State Teachers college
have announced. Indian dwelling
ruins, inhabited apparently about
1900 A. D., have been found. Their
excavation has proved definite rela-
tionships between the Pueblo tribes
culture of the Southwest and the
plains tribes culture farther east
according to the college.
One ruin now being excavated
through cooperation of the WoIks
Progress administration, contains
about 40 rooms. The walls are about
18 inches thick, plastered neatly
inside. They are covered with cet-
tonwood logs and a thatch Of brush
and mud. Doors Of each room are
about three feet high, and there are
no windows. Most Of the units con
tain fire pit. The rooms are abb Il
20 feet square and are paved " IA
packed clay.
Refuse heaps show that the in-
habitants were hunters and agrl-
culturists. Numerous bones IF bllf-
falo. deer, bison and antelope have
been excavated, indicating that TIL
Panhandle Indians ate an a5ln-
dance of meat in addition to tleir
principal vegetables-corn, beans,
squashes and tomatoes.

because he thought British policy too
vacillating and humiliating, may once
more head the foreign department;
he left it as protest against Cham
berlain compromises and against the
plan calling for friendly converse
tons with Germany and Italy-and
the events which subsequently took
place in Europe seem to have fur
nished proof that he was right, and
that you cannot negotiate with fascist
clictators: You must give them orders
and make certain that they are
obeyed.
Dictators do not believe in COM
promise; they prefer giving orders
exactly as did Hitler when he within
a period of three days obliterated
the Austrian nation and made it an
organic part of Greater Germany
Whether the Austrians like him or
not, he was given in Vienna most
tremendous and enthusiastic recep-
ton, and when day or so later he
returned to Berlin after having ac-
complished the merger of the two
states, the acclaim with which he was
greeted was SO colossal as to over
shadow all former occasions of SIM
liar nature.
Down in Rome Benito MusSolini,
dictator of Italy, delivered before his
so-called chamber of deputies a
speech in which he lauded Hitler's
annexation of Austria but at the same
time very deity limited that Italian
frontiers must not be disturbed; Hit
Ter Immediately notified his Italian
colleague that he certainly has no de-
signs on Italian territory, so the two
gentlemen appear to be in full accord
and when Hitler about six weeks
hence arrives in Rome for visit,
Mussolini will give him a reception
as impressive as if the German dicta-
tor had been nothing less than an
emperor.
China War.
While Europe has been busy dis
posing of some of its important prob
lens, Japan's war of aggression
against China has been going on,
with varying results. 1t seems
as though the Japanese have en-
countered more serious resistance
than they had expected, but, on the
other hand, they are making progress

gically important city of Soochow.
