Jl man river ROLLING ALONG MOREJRDERLY Army Engineers Assert Mississippi Flood Peril Greatly Lessened. By United Preen WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 —Ol’ Man River isn't, “rolling along” with anything like his former freedom, according to army engineers, who renewed today the progress made thus ar in Mississippi river flood control. While Secretary of War Hurley continued his inspection trip down he Mississippi aboard the river boat General Allen, members of his staff here outlined results obtained since congress in 1928 authorized the sum of $325,000,000 to bring the river under control. Already $89,000,000 of that sum has been expended by the Mississippi river commission under supervision of the army corps of engineers. Although the project has eight years more to go, the flood danger even now is in large measure overcome, army engineers say. In the spring of last year one of 'he highest waters ever recorded passed safely down the river to the iulf. In another year ample promotion will have been provided i gainst any flood “reasonably probable,” the engineers said. Some ideL, of the tremendous scope of the project may be gained, they pointed out, by comparing it with he Panama canal, also carried to completion under army engineer supervision. The cost of the canal construction has been estimated at $386,000,000. Including the $71,000,000 spent by the federal government on the river prior to the flood control act, the Mississippi project will have cost on completion nearly $4,000,000 more. The estimate does not include about 3166,000,000 spent by the states. FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE BRANDED AS ILLEGAL Opinion of Counsel for Seif-Serve Gasoline Station Operator. Pit Urited Preen RICHMOND. Ind.. Sept. s.—That the act creating the state fire marshal’s office was unconstitutional because it fixes polls, legislative and judicial powers, is alleged in an additional brief filed in Wayne circuit court by attorneys for the NuGas Corporation.

The case •vill be heard during the October term of court.

STRONG FRENCH DEFENSE SHOWN BY MANEUVERS ‘German, Italian Troops’ Theoretically ‘Repulsed’ on Two Fronts. By United Pre* PARIS. Sept. s.—France waged “war” against Germany and Italy today on two battle fronts, repulsing the invaders in both sectors. Against a theoretical invasion of Germans into the territory of Alsace and Lorraine, the French war office Thursday threw 50,000 trained soldiers in a heroic counter-offensive in the region of Nancy. On the southern border 50,000 Alpine troops sucessfully fought off an “invasion” from Italy. For the first time in history, French tanks were able to scale the mountainous ridges of Mauriennais, demonstrating that tanks will play a great part in any future engagements in the rough territory dividing France and Italy. Despite proteste of nationalists, today’s maneuvers demonstrated that France’s covering troops practically are sufficient to withstand a shock attack on two fronts.

LEAGUE TO GET GERMAN PLEA Treaty Revision Is Aim of Berlin Government. BY RALPH HEINZEN, United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Sept. s—Foreign Minister Aristide Briand conferred with British and German officials today preliminary to proceeding to Geneva where the League of Nations is scheduled to convene next Monday in one of the most significant sessions since the end of the World war. The British foreign minister, Arthur Henderson, conferred briefly with Briand and proceeded to Geneva. Briand will leave in # day or so. The German ambassador, Dr. Leopold von Hoesch, just back from Berlin, talked with Briand for some time. France will be concerned particularly with the German demands for treaty revision which, although far frum official, have been taken to indicate the trend of feeling across the Rhine. Briand was believed further to have told Von Hoesch that although France had relinquished her grip on the Rhineland, she still possessed a lever in the Saar valley, which can be held until 1935.
