SOLO BOMBERS NOT EFFECTIVE IN SEA ATTACKS Aerial Squadron Only Can Keep Surface Craft From Outmaneuvering. WASHINGTON. An g. 12.—Naval air attacks to be effective must be in*force. There will be no successful air attacks fleets of airplanes. This la the consensus of opinion among military and naval experts, both American and foreign, who hare been closely studying the results of the recent aerial bombing ws;s which the Navy has been bolding off the •Virginia Capes. For the first time in history the reresentatives of foreign governments have .‘been invited to witness tests conducted by the United Stales Navy. Ferhaps it Is the first time in history that one nation has invited another to help it devise new means of warfare. FOREIGN ATTACHES ABE OBSERVANT. The foreign attaches who have been present at the bombing tests have been most observant. They are unwilling, to enter the controversy as to the relative, merits of the airplane and the battleship, but tbey all agree that air attacks upon the Navy must be In force. The writer has talked with British, French, Japanese and Italian observers of the bombing testa, and in all of these conversations there has been a very frankly ■ expressed belief that the airplane is no menace to the Navy except in force. ► Salvo bombing from airplane offers the greatest menace to surface craft, it is admitted. The airplane that comes singly to drop 4ts load of one, two, three ■ or four bombs has small chance of hitting the mark. The airplanes that come In > squadrons of ten and twenty and drop : their bombs in salvos have an excellent i opportunity of hitting their mark, and not that, but they have an even chance 'of out-maneuvering the surface craft. : War maneuvers can not be executed by a ‘Single airplane against naval vessels. bat a squadron of airplanes may outmaneuver a surface fleet. ;r. 8. s. iowa OCT-MANEUVERED. * The recent tests in which th” alt forces attacked the radio-controlled battleship lowa demonstrated that a slng'.t aircraft has but little chance in operating against a surface craft, which is able to dodge nearly as fast as the airplane. *But one attack was made upon the lowa in force, and thr.t by a squadron ot flyers who came in formation and 1 out-maneuvered the surface craft. The sent their planes In such a formation that when the lowa dodged she 'could not escape the range of at least ;two of, the overhead enemy, and when [the squadron let go Us bombs they • dropped in a salvo, wo hits being scored [and the remainder of the bombs dropping la close proximity to the battleship. As the naval commanders learn new maneuvers against the aircraft so will ; the commanders of the air .learn new .tricks to be employed against surface craft, and it appears that anew avenue of war strategy is being opened up, and the talk of the future battles between fleets of airplanes and fleets of surface craft is not idle chatter. But the air attacks must be in force to be effective.
EGYPT AND NILE AGAIN BECKON TO WORLD TOURISTS Enchanted Valley to Come Into Its Own as Mecca for the Traveler. LONDON, Aug. 12.—Once more the tourist tide is turning toward Egypt, the volley of enchantment and charm, where mysticism still bangs about the mar- | welous relics of the glorious past, amid th • beautiful witchery of the fascinating “Arabian Nights.” Egypt, the mother ft civilization, was great before Greece or Rome were born Th* Valley of the NHe furnished the stage for the greatest drama of the past. Here Egypt reared her stupendous pyramids, temples and mountains In the highest 1 form of architecture while the rest of t mankind was living in rude huts. The history of this land goes back so far that It is lost in the unknown sges The life artery of the country has been the NUe, that mysterious river whose source perplexed explorers for S,CSX) years 1 It la but natural that the tide of pleas- j nr# travel should again lead to Egypt. Before the war it was the Mecca for traveler* from the United States and England In particular, and the whole vorld In general, for if east and west ! do not meet in Egypt they ot least com- j mingle there. With the world settling back Into its old contented grooves, Egypt comes to the fore again as the place above all others that the sight- j seer wishes to visit. The war has made but .’lgbt changes in the land of the Ffcart es. Egypt! does not change. It Is nrye*.- the same as it was thousands of years before the coming of Christ. Except in airo and Alexandria, modern innovations are Jew. Water la still transported the way It was in the time of Moses. The grain is winnowed under the same methods employed when Joseph was governor. Everything is ancient and different. That Is what makes the country so charming to the visitor. STEAMSHIP COMPANIES PREPARE FOR THE RUSH, f Already the big steamship companies are preparing itineraries for the rush !of tourists expected to voyage to Egypt, .the Mediterranean and the Holy Land next season. The Cunard line will place . several of its large 6hips In this service, among those tentatively listed to make oruises being the beautiful n**w Cain•ronia, whose maiden trip to New York ' was made in May. Last season the Ca-on!a carried the first large group of American tourists that had visited Nile since the beginning of the war in 1614. The Egyptians are very partial to American visitors because they generally have plenty of money to spend and consequently go to great extremes to please them. The hotels at Cairo, Luxor and Assouan generally meet the standard required by tourists from the United States. Carlo. Egypt's capital and the largest city In Africa, Is one of the most curious cities in the world. The minarets are the most beautiful in the Levant. Thera are 000 mosquea in the city. In the building of one Garni Sultan Uassan expended $3,090 daily for three years and when It was completed, cut off the architect's hands so that be could not construct another like It. Tbe citadel, built about 1166, contains a mosque of oriental alabaster. The mosque of Tulin, built in the ninth century, stands on the hill whereon tradition asserts the ark rested after the flood. Out in the river lies Rhoda Island, where tradition says Pharaoh's daughter found the infant Moses in the bull-rushes. Tbe enterprising Arabs will take you to the spot. BAZAAR DISTRICT FLACf; OF INTEREST. An Interesting place is the street called Mouskie. the center of the bazaar district. The shops here are like those in no other part of the world. Here may be found beautiful silks from Damascus, wonderful rugs from Bokhara and many Ivory articles from tbe Soudan. Asa winter resort Cairo has long been popular. The suburbs are replete with interest, and excursions to the pyramids, the Sphinx, the museum of Egyp-

To the west of Cairo rises the long ridge of the Ylokattain mountains, out of which fur ages tbe Pharaohs got their building material, the limestone being used for the pyramids. From the summit may be obtained a remarkable view of the Nile valley and the myriads of monuments and tombs that stretch along as far as tbe eye can see. On the way to Heliopolis, which Is but five miles from Cairo, stands the noble sycamore tree, known as the "Virgin's tree,” under which the Hoiy Family is said to have rested oa the dight to Egypt. No wonder Egypt charms the tourist.
RUSSO-ITALIAN TRADE TREATY UP Transportation Outlet Prominent in Plans. ROME. Aug. 12.—Italian and Russian economists are at present preparing a commercial treaty between the two countries on similar lines to that signed by England and Russia. Tbe head of the Russian economic mission in Italy Is M. Vorovgky. The Italian government is represented on the Italian mission, and Count Sfona. Itallnn foreign minister, has had many Interviews with the Russian envoy. Commercial relations between the two countries were established long ago, and goods have already been exchanged. Tbe dim of the Russian mission is to get Italian capital interested in Russia. Italy would also be asked to supply technical personnel, foremen and engineers, who would direct the work of Russian workmen. In exchange for this Italy would receive concessions on certain factories and land in Russa, as well as naphtha, benzol and coal from tbe Donetz mining district. Forests along the Black Sea would also be open to exploitation by Italy. Russia’s greatest need Is transportation, and here Italy, according to M. VoroTsky, could boos little use to Russia. She has no locomotives or railroad materials to export Hflwever, arrangements would be made whereby Italy could supply automobiles and auto trucks aa well as barges and ships. The latter could be used oa Rossis'* canals and rivers, which, the Bolshevists claim, could l.e transformed so as to ease communications between the Baltic and the Black Sea. Italy would also be offered fbe exploitation of certain mines, although some of those have been idle for more than three years. The Russian envoy states that Italy it anxious that the treaty be signed as soon as possible and that be feels sure Italy will rapidly officially recognize the Soviet government of Russia.
WATCH RUSSIA,’ SAYS DEAN HUNT Comeback Agriculturally Will , Affect World. CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—" Watch Russia! I do not mean politically, hut economically.” was the message of Desn Thomas F. Hunt of the College of Agriculture of the University of California to the executive committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Dean Hunt, who has Just returned from Europe, where he represented the United States at the International Institute of Agriculture, spent considerable time studying European agriculture, especially Its relation to the future of farming In America. He says: "The world, the Inman race, is more dependont upon economic rehabilitation and direction of Russian agriculture than upon any other single material factor in the world. One hundred and fifty million peep l © aro involved. It Is the moat Important thing. I do not mean that the American farmer Is going necessarily to suffer when Russia comes back, but the direction which oar agriculture will take will be affected by the time and the way In which Rpssla cornea back. The farmer who does not adjust himself to this new order is the one who Is going to lose. Watch Russia and study her. “After most great wars there has been an upset of agricultural ownership in the countries affected. Landlordism In England arose after previous great wars, .primarily because the little farmer did not have sufficient credit to carry on hls work economically.”

ATTORNEYS FOR SMALL PREPARE FOR LEGAL WAR Governor to Contest Arrest and Make Effort to Get Change of Venue. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 12.—Tbe campaign to tost the legality of Governor Small's arrest and to obtain a trial in some county other than Saugamon was actively under way today. Attorneys for the Governor have demanded and will receive certified copies of all court proceedings pertaining to the indictment returned by the grand jury July °O. and of the bond signed by the Governor and throe of his friends after his arrest The demand for the copy of tbe grand jury del berations was made by John Miller, Decatur, representing Attorney C. C. Laforge of the Small ring. The fact these papers were wanted by Laforge indicates it is he who will direct the fight for a change of venue as it probably will be in that connection the papers will be used. By a like sign the test against the legality of the Governor's arrest will be conducted by Attorneys Graham ft Gillespie, tbey having demanded the copy of the bond. FRENCH OBJECT TO INCOME TAX Nation Forced to Take Drastic Action.
PARIS, Aug. 12.—New methods of col leettng income tax returns are now being discussed in Parliament, the majority of French taxpayers having failed under the present system to show any returns or pay any tax. For the last financial year returns show that 53 per cent of the taxable population of France failed to produce any statement of lta Income. Leon Bailby, editor of I'lntranstgeant, suggests that some sort of lottery be organized for the benefit of thoea taxpayers who have been honest enough to declare tbe'.r revenues and pay and to the disadvantage of those who continually evade paying a tax on their income. He proposes that the population of France he split up into sections of from 8.000 to 5,0t)0 people and that from ten to fifty names in that number be chosen at random. If tbese have declared their revenues and offered to pay their Income tax tbey shall be exempted. Any of that number who shall not bare shown any returns shall have their taxes doubled or even tripled and in addition be sentenced to several months’ imprisonment. The same would apply to any taxpayers In the 5.000 who had not made any returns. M. Bailby remarks that It would cost little to institute this control and be thinks it would have the advantage of frightening would be evaders of the law CLIFF DWELLERS WILL BE STUDIED Expects to Find Old Modes of Living. DURANGO, Coio., Aug. 12.—New discoveries of the modes of living of the “cliff dwellers” are expected to be made this summer in Mp3 Verde National Park, in southwestern Colorado, by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes. ethnological investigator for tbe Smithsonian Institute. Dr. Fewk has already arrived in the vicinity of the ancient ruins, where he has spent several summers investigat'ng tbe cliff dwellers habitations. It is expected that Dr. Fewkes will devote a large part of the coming seaeon to new territory, and It ia reported that he is confident that ho will bring to light structures of the unknown race as startling as was tbe "sun temple” be uncovered some years ago. Dr. Fewkes la America's greatest authority on the cliff dweliors nd their manner of living, and ha hopes in some of hia excavations to shed more light upon the mystery of these ancient people. Pome of the most interesting relics of the extinct cliff dwellers In tha United States have been unearthed in the Mesa Verde region. These rains are supposed to have been inbabifated a thousand or more years ago by people reaerablicg the present day Pueblo Indians of Arizona and Now Mexico. Great community houses, which are believed to have been occupied by families, have been disclosed during extensive excavations. The houses are located In caves high up on the aides of precipltious canons and can only he reached by long ladders. Among the more famous ruins are Spruce Tre* House. Cliff Palace. Balcony House and the wonderful Snn Temple.

YACHT FOR FUNERAL USE
' 4 * ’■ ■. ' Cc V*-; - ' : > - ' > 4-. t §
A funeral yacht fleet, to carry the dead and mourners to burial grounds adjacent to water landings along the Atlantic coast, will soon be a possibility, according to Frank E. Campbell of New Y'ork, who shortly will dedicate the Hourglass, the first vessel chartered exclusively for funeral use. The yacht, in command of Cupt. I. Adams, la sixty-five feet long and has an engine capable of developing 400 horsepower. The means of conveying the dead and bereaved by water lessens the transportation cost, says Mr. Campbell. “Railway rates necessitates double fares for body shipments,” he de- , dared. “A party of relatives can accompany, with comfort, the remains to a 1 port near the burial grounds. Fresh air and a moving panorama of scenery Is a stimulus aad Is better than tbe evo lined railway coach." Mr. Campbell says a simple service can be conducted on board tbe vessel. A small organ ia being provided for that purpose. When the institution first used motor vehicles, Mr. Campbell asserted, folks demanded: "Why rush the dead to their graves?" Progress changes funeral modes, he an-
