BARRED FROM GOBI DESERT .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) day published their correspondence refusing to permit Andrews to proceed. It said, in part: “Cooperation is impossible with mutual respect and appreciation, your arrogant attitude alone is responsible. if cooperation is made so difficult." Andrews, in an interview with the United Pres, commented: “I returned to China in April hoping to arrange for the completion of our expedition, which is desirable to science. The Chinese commis-: sioners declined even to grant an | interview, a discourtesy which re j mair.s unexplained.” Andrews has conducted several expeditions into the Gobi desert j under the auspices of the American I Museum of Natural History. He dis-' covery of the famous “Dinosaur] Eggs ” some years ago gained him international fame, and more recently his expedition discovered the “'Peking Man” in the ancient rock formations of the Gobi, which he believe^science will prove the cradle of civilization. — ■■ — ■ -ti School Crossing Record Good Seattle.—(U.R) - Seattle's 1930-31 school year closed with a record of no fatalities and only one injury at school street crossings supervised by Junior patrol officers.

Old Forts, Like Custer, Must Face ‘Last Stand" * * * * * * Former Bulwarks of Strength for Pioneers of Far West Are Trampled Underfoot by March of Progress • Mbs- Geokge a Custer- Chief - Sitting Bull, Trampled underfoot by the inevitable march of progress, the old fort! and military base* of the United States Army in the West are to be abandoned in the interest of economy—their days of usefulness over. Rich in historical lore, these old forts once stood as bulwarks of strength for bewildered pioneers, harassed and slaughtered by marauding Indians as they strove to carve a new empire in the West. One of the most tragic incidents connected with the old forts whose doom has been sounded was the massacre, one blistering day, in 1876, of a detachment of troops under General George A. Custer, noted Civil War fighter, in the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Custer and all his men were slain, after a gallant “Last Stand,” by Sioux and Santee Indians led by Chief Sitting Bull. Mrs. Custer, widow of the general, ; now residing in New York, has voiced a protest that the old forts, so I close!) linked with the progress of the nation, are to fall before the very element which they helped preserve.

I Washington, — ('UP)—As in time! immemoral, the inevitable march of civilization has trampled to death : the very agencies which were bore in another era to protect the pro-1 gress so painstakingly made in pioneering the great Western plains and mountains of America. Kstablishetl to safeguard the white marts civilization of another day, now long past, old forts and military bases of the United States! Army, grown ramshackle and turn ) •tiedown from years of practical disuse, are to be abandoned in the interest of economy. Xo longer will once stout walls hear the snap and crackle of mili-, lary orders, gone will he the soldiery uniformed in several generations of American Army styles and j colors, the grass on the sweeping j parade grounds will be free to 1 grow high and unkempt without sub-1 | jilgation under the measured tread of marching legions, in short. 1 naught but the ghosts of departed' J h roes of the Indian war s and trag- J I edies of America’s frontier ever [pushed westward, will stalk where | j once the old fortresses formed a I bulwark of strength to early sett-j lers bewildered by a new land beset with bloodthirsty warriors, j Among those most upoignantly hurt by the order to abandon the western outposts, milestones in the history of America, is ti pleasant old lady. Mrs. George A. Custer, widow of the dashing general who was massacred with his men one ter- , ri,)lc ut Little Big Horn, Montana. Custer s Last Stand” forms a i t io oi words known by every Am- . erican. General Custer, Union offic- , ** " url "S 'he Civil Wark, was sent into the Most following Lee’s surrender to supply military protection to Pioneers trekking toward new and fertile lands. Indian war parties! tweie continually harassing and at-1 | tacking trains of covered wagons i isolating small groups ot settlers | and slaughtering them and gencr- " I a!ly P roy ing a menace to the pro-

• gross of civilization. While General Custer was but one of officers dis- 1 patched-to the trouble area, the! flattie of the Little Big Horn gavel him undying fame. Attacked by an overpowering tone rtf Sioux and SanteP Indians,: led by Chief Sitting Bull, Custer j and his men fought a losing sight 1 until the Genetal and ail hut a mere) handful of his troopers were massa- ' l l evl. lit it bloody tragedy, occurring | j mio fateL l, blistering day in 1876.! set the nation aflame and resulted in extended campaigns against the ’lndians ami the building of more - forts to withstand their attacks. 1 1 is many of these old rich-in : historical-lore fortresses that are to! j !«> abandoned by the War Depart-j ment now that the demands of economy are mm h nlore pressing , than'attacks. It is these self-k&me i forts which bring tears to the eyes !ot Mrs. Custer as she sits in her Bark Ave, apartment In New York, ’ surrounded by hurrying maddening i crowds instead of war-shrieking reds;, ns, and dreams of the davs | that are gone. Or docs seem as if some of the -old ioits ought to he saved," Mrs, Custer said when interviewed recently on the fifty-fifth anniversary of her brave husband's lsat engagement. “We ought not to allow every restive of that period to die. After all, this country hu s very little history, considering how big it is, and we should preserve what we have.” Beautiful sentiments, but apparontly impractical ones in the eyes of official Washington. Still, progress and all it brings must be served. Leaving the forts stand and rot would correspond in a Souse with "liat might have been charged, with what might We been charged, a •mil century and more ago, against | a met lean*, smug and secure in the | Last, had they not been determined ! v0 lea P the barriers set up tv a sav- ; age frontier and establish a new I land of promise. The old order changeth and with j‘t the old forts must go.
