Gorges as Deep as the Grand Canyon
Discovered Below the Oceans Floor

canyons give evidence of having
been cut by rivers that once flowed
across the continental shelf and
down its steep slopes. In this case,
the continental shelf must have ris-
en- 5000 to 10000 feet higher than it
does now, or the sea level must
have been 5000 to 10000 feet lower.
Science cannot account for such
great changes of land or sea level.
Much water was withdrawn from
the oceans during the Ice age, but
scientists have found no evidence
the sea level was lowered more than
300 feet as a consequence.

nightmare through which I drove,
with Winter asleep beside me
against his will.
I know that at ten the next morn
ing we came to Basic, and, because
could go no further, I drove to the
old hotel at which had lain for two
nights three weeks before.
From there I wrote to my darling
"a hating, pitiful note, in which l
tried to make out how rich we must
always be, because we had picked
our flower when it was in full flush,
so that now it could never wither or
run to seed.
That evening we left for Stras-
bourg, and, after driving all night,
embarked at Calais for Dover the
following afternoon.
It was as I walked the deck and
saw the cliffs of England taking
their ancient form that it first oc-

of my plans. My one idea had been
to retrace my steps and to put the
sea between me and my hearts de-

time, l should have achieved this
purpose, and since life had to be
lived, should have to take thought
for the morrow and, plainly, decide
what to do. For a moment I knit

cause I was tired or because, to be
honest, l did not care what I did,
the effort seemed not worth max

to slim figure standing alone :.
in an echoing picture-gallery, full of
the lenient splendor of afternoon

The steamer had berthed, and
was standing amidships, watching
my fellow passengers hasten
ashore, when I found a man stand
ing beside me, with hand to his
hat.

He was a commissionaire, and he
had note in his hand.
That's right" said I.
He gave me the note at once.
Within was a typewriter sheet.

LEGION, 20 YEARS OLD, TO CELEBRATE

''No, you don't, SIR" said Winter,
stoutly. ''I don't care what's in the
wind. I promised her ladyship I'd
make you look after yourself. 1

So it came about that nearly four
days went by before, after sleeping
at Innsbruck, I saw the chimneys
of Tracery rising against the blue.
Heavy rain must have fallen the
night before, for woods and pas
lures were green as 1 had never
seen them, and the countryside was
glancing before the smile of the sun.
All the fragrance of earth and her
fruits was lading the lively air, and
the mountain-tops were making

lovely detail for all the world to see.
AS twice before, l entered the
wasting courtyard and berthed the
Rolls: but before I was out of the
car, the doors of the mansion were
opened and Parish was descending

Five minutes later I stood before
the Duchess of Whelp.
She was dressed in gray, as usual,
and was sitting at ease in a salon,
the open windows of which gave on
to the moldering splendor of ter
race and park.
AS usual, by painting her face, she
had done her best to disfigure her
splendid countenance, and, as usual,
its noble features and her majestic
air were turning their motley into
robe of state: on table, beside her,
lay papers-among them my letter
and the statement which had been
indorsed.

After the War, Whittier Spain?
General Franco Won't Answer
Continued Fascist Rule,
Probably with King
Seen Likely
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

The scene: Spain. A final
bullet ricochets from the sum
baked, blood-drenched wall.
Peace returns to a land which
has lost more than 1000, 900
of its best men since July IL,
1886. The civil war becomes
ugly history-and then what?
The man who can answer is
Francisco Franco, a business
like generalissimo known to
his Loyalist enemies as eel
Carnicero," the butcher, and
to his Insurgent followers as eel
Caudillo," the chief. General Franco
is victor, thanks to superior mill
tary strategy, plus a whip hand over
Spain's natural resources, plus help
from Berlin and Rome.
Spain's war needs repetition here
only because things said and done
since 1890 must be answered for to-
day. Will General Franco pour aw-
full vengeance on the Loyalist enc
mics who banished him to Canary
islands outpost in 1886? Will France
and England pay the price of their
indecision these past two years by
losing all prestige in Spain? Will
relationships rise, or fall, when
Spain's final die is cast?
Man of the Hour.
Too many answers rest with Fran

turn on Fascism now that the war
is won?
He barely might, for one good
reason. More than anything else
Spain now needs money for recon-
struction, obtainable only from
Great Britain, the United States and,
to lesser degree, France. Great
Britain is especially anxious to make
these loans because Spain was once
an excellent customer. Now British
coal exports to Spain have dropped
81 per cent; motor cars, 95 per cent,
and machinery, 80 per cent.
Greater Spain Predicted.
This is the very logical reasoning
behind current British-French over
lures to lure Franco from the die
tators. 1t is emphasized still more
by the growing belief that Spain will
some day assume new Importance
among European nations, holding a
whip hand over any potential Medi-
terranean conflict.
Hints have already been dropped
concerning FRANCOIS governmental
plans. Last year an order was is
sued restoring citizenship and prop
critics to King Alfonso, the alleged
inside story of that restoration be-
ing this: A monarchist delegation
met Alfonso in Switzerland last sum-
mer, suggesting that his privileges
and possessions might be restored
if Alfonso would abdicate in favor
of his third son, Prince Juan. AL
fonso repeatedly replied he might.
Healthiest Bourbon.
Don Juan, not a great lover like
the cabellero of ancient Seville, is
a healthy young man of Is who was
brought up under English influence.
He even served as a lieutenant in
the British navy. Unlike his two
elder brothers, the count of Cova-
donga (who died in Florida last
year, and Prince Jaime, he shows
no trace of the tragic maladies
which have afflicted the rest of the
family. He was married in 1885 to
Marie, Princess of Bourbon-Siciles.
They have one daughter.
Don Juan's appointment would be
an important pacifier, since he would
return to Spain as an outsider capa-
bic of arbitrating the differences be-
tween Insurgents and Loyalists.
