boats and supplies were refur-
bished.
In the party were DR.. Elzada

guide.
They left Green Hat, Utah, June
20 and had planned to reach Lees
Ferry, 300 miles distant, not later
than July 4. But they no sooner
set out than their troubles began.
BOAT CAPSIZED
Just after they turned into the
turbulent Colorado, the boat occu-
pied by Atkinson and Gibson over
turned in a swift whirlpool. Atkin-
son clung to the boat and was
swept downstream, while Gibson

Atkinson and rescue him and re-

Miss Jotter, on shore during the
rescue, was forced to spend
chilly night alone, wondering what
had happened to her companions.
The next day, one of the boats
worked back up stream and took
her aboard.
FOOD OBTAINED
On July S, the party beached
and went ashore. They hiked to
Rainbow Natural Bridge, where
they replenished their food sup
plies from a cache left regularly
for the convenience of horseback
travellers.
On the morning of the sixth,
they set out again and had little
trouble until they reached Lees

On the trip, they saw three
Japanese gold miners operating
along the river before they got
into the steep-walled canyon. At
one portage they reported they
found an inscription made by the
Powell expedition in 1869.

new GREAT WAR.
ON BOLSHEV|SM.
SEEN BY IL DUCE.
Says Europe's Only
Hope Lies in FasCism

ROME, July 9 QN.S)-Event-
ual war between Fascist and
Communist nations "to decide the
fate of Europe" was foreseen by
Premier Mussolini today.
In the preface to book review
ing the work Of FasciSm and the
Fascist grand council during the
last Is years, II Duce described
the war in Spain as "the first
clash between Fascism and Com
munism and its democratic al
lies"
SEES GREATER STRUGGLE
Discussing the possibility of a
greater struggle between the same
forces on q European or even a
world scale, Mussolini wrote:
"Fascism does not fear the
fight that must decide the fate
of the continent"
The preface will be reprinted
and issued to Fascist party mem
bers as the "order of the day."
Despite French and Russian
help" II Duce said, Frances
armies are about to grasp vic
tory in Spain.
The event is one Of enor-
nous historical Importance. 1t
is the first time in which black
shirts have faced on an inter
national battlefield the forces
of BolsheviSm and those OF i'm
moral principles"
JIBE AT DEMOCRACIES
This was interpreted as a gen.
eral jibe at all democratic nations.
Musolini took occasion to re-
mind the United States, Great
Britain and France that Italy'S
foreign policy. although inclined
toward collaboration, nevertheless
rests firmly on the Rome-Berlin
axis and the Rome e-Berlin-T Tokyo
triangle.
Foreigners" he said. would
love to see the eaSygoing, dis
ordered, amusing mandolin-play-
ing Italy of the old days and
not the one of today which is
solid, regimented, silent and
powerful under the fascistera.
Foreigners who used to pity
us now hate us. This hatred
which in any case is fully ex-
changed by us-is something
that makes us proud"
