LAWRENCE IS VICTOR IN FIGHT TO HELP ARABS Battles Until Promises to Desert Tribes in War Time Are Fulfilled. (Continued from Page One) work off a special presentation copy for the king. He asked, therefore, that the king should be willing to accept one in the circumstances. The king agreed. The book subsequently was placed in his valuable library. On one visit to the palace when Lawrence was describing his war in the desert in answer to questions, the king asked him if he did not have something which could be added to his ithe king’s) unique collection of war souvenirs. Lawrence suggested several objects, including one which had been intimately connected with the kaiser. The king smilingly declined the latter. Finally, he accepted a rifle. Legal Status in Doubt Speaking of the decorations which he refused, Lawrence pointed out that he actually was in doubt to this day as to the legal status of his case: “I am in the unusual position of having refused decorations which have been gazetted. To the best of my knowledge the announcements in the gazette have not been canceled. “So I presume that, legally, I might be entitled to them, although I refused to take them from the king. But the matter is indifferent to me.” Referring then to the circumstances which led to his refusal to be decorated, Lawrence recalled that his object was to obtain from the government the fulfillment of promises he made to the Arabs on behalf of Britain in exchange for Arab participation in the war on the allied side. Rewards Are Refused “I could not get satisfaction at the time,” he said, “so when they tried to reward me and at the same time let down the Arabs, naturally I refused. “This, of course, gave me a free hand. They failed to shut me up. I told them all what I thought of them. "After a long fight, in which I was fortunate in obtaining the support of Winston Churchill, I secured for the Arabs all that was humanly practical and possible to secure.” There could not, he added, have existed proper political unity between tribes who had no telephones, telegraphs or railways connecting their respective territories; camels being the sole mode of transport in the desert. His struggles to obtain what he wanted for the Arabs during the Paris peace conference, he said, were complicated by Franco-British bargaining. Among the French, he said, Clemenceau behaved splendidly toward him and the Arabs. Gets What He Wanted But in the end, Britain induced France to part with Mosul in exchange for a mandate over Syria which they received; at the expense of the Syrians. At one time matters had reached a serious stage. Lawrence was asked to accept an important post in connection with Arabian affairs. He refused. He said he would not work under certain members of the cabinet. He had warm words with one of them in particular at a meeting in Downing street. Finally he was induced to accept a temporary post as “adviser” to Winston Churchill. It was through this, he said, that he got what he wanted for “my Arabs.”

UNREST IN BALKANS France Is Worried Over Perils to Peace. By United Prttt PARIS, April 23.—Spread of political unrest through the Balkan states caused considerable concern in Paris chancellories today as the tension in regard to Spains's new republic decreased. Political developments in Rumania, where King Carol has met a cabinet crisis after considerable difficulty, and in Bulgaria, where the cabinet of Premier Andrei Liapchev tendered its resignation, were watched with particular anxiety. The Bulgarian crisis was regarded as the most vital influence in Balkan peace. The Liapchev cabinet has lasted for eight years, and during that time the country was stabilized. France was disappointed to see A. D. Bouroff, foreign minister, fall into disfavor simultaneously with the cabinet crisis. Bouroff had been friendly to France.

INCREASED LIFE SPAN PREDICTED BY PHYSICIAN Medical Discoveries Mean More Leisure Time, Philosophers Told. By United Prrts PHILADELPHIA, April 23.—The span of life may be increased immeasurably as a result of medical discoveries, according to Dr. Lee K. Frankel, vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, in an address today during the American Philosophical Society's 204th annual meeting. The probi lem of the future will be the adequate use of leisure, he said. He pictured a future when men will live longer, work more con- | tentedly in the field of endeavor that they enjoy, when orphan asy- ! lums and welfare organizations w r ill ; be a thing of the past, i William Morton Wheeler, dean of : the Bussey institute of research of , applied biology of Harvard uniI versify, expressed the opinion that j theology is succumbing rapidly to scientific inroads, not only in the biological and physical sciences, but in history, anthropology and psychology. Wheeler predicted that within the | coming generation it will have no i more cultural value than astrology. New knowledge of the atom has only gone into its outer shell of electrons, its “atmosphere,” and has not penetrated its central mystery, the nucleus, at all. Professor Arthur H. Compton of the University of Chicago told the society. The nucleus, or core of the atom, is where most of the atom’s mass, or substance, is concentrated.
