NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Graf Zeppelin Arrives at Lakehurst, Completing Trip Around World. By EDWARD W. PICKARD TI 7TTH its arrival at Lakehurst. N. ’ V j. t the Graf Zeppelin completed its epochal trip around the world, in the course of which only three stops were made for refueling—at Friedrichshafen. Tokyo and Los Angeles. The Zeppelin made a smooth landing at 8:07 o’clock Thursday morning, having circled the giobe in 21 days and 7 hours, breaking all previous records. It had flown approximately 20.000 miles and was in the air about eleven and one-half days. While the huge dirigible displayed most excellent qualities in the way of safety, speed and cruising ability, the lion’s share of the credit for the feat must be given to Dr. Hugo Eckener. the airship's indomitable commander and chief pilot. His passengers and crew are giving him unstinted praise for the skill he showed throughout the globe-encircling trip. Every southern Californian who could get there greeted the Zeppelin at Los Angeles, which was reached on Monday after a flight across the Pacific enlivened only by an electric Storm encountered soon after the departure from Tokyo. As it passed down the California coast the airship on Sunday had circled over San Fran cisco. The getaway from Los Angeles was not easy and quantities of ballast and extra equipment had to be dumper to give it enough lifting power. As it was, the dirigible barely avoided -running into a network of high power ■,-electric wires near Mines field. An interesting story conies from Japan to the effect that the Zeppelin’s safe crossing of the Pacific prevented the “seppuku” or suieidal atonement of the five officers and twelve enlisted men of the Japanese navy who held themselves blameable for the slight accident that the airship suffered in being taken from the hangar at Kasumigaura airport. Such action by the Japanese would have been in accord with their ancient custom, and the wives of the men might have followed them in death. CLEVELAND was “up in the air” all week, enjoying the airplane cares and exhibitions of flying and the big aircraft exposition. Among the star attractions was Mrs. Louise McPhetridge Thaden of Pittsburgh, who won the women’s derby that started at Santa Monica. Fifteen of the nineteen ladybirds who started finished the race. Marvel Crosson was killed, as related last week, and three others. were forced out by mishaps. Gladys Q’Donneil of Long Beach, Calif., won second place and Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer, was third. Colonel Lindbergh and his wife, who is now a student flyer, were interested and interesting visitors. The United States will have no representative in the Schneider cup races in England, for Lieut. Alford Williams was unable to complete the tests of his plane in time and withdrew. Italy’s best racing flyer, Captain Motta, was killed while testing one of his planes, and the British were asked on that account to postpone the races, but refused because the financial sacrifices would be too great. *<E'ROM Dan to Beersheba,” and a * great deal farther in all directions, Palestine and the neighboring countries were aflame with revolt. Arabs were massacreing Jews in a score of cities, towns and villages, the native police and military forces were impotent, and Great Britain was rushing warships, troops, marines and airplanes to the Holy Land to restore peace if possible. The trouble, which has been simmering for months, broke out with clashes between Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem, especially at the Wailing Wall where Jews have prayed for centuries, and which is the last remaining fragment of Solomon's temple. The rioting spread rapidly, to the Siaboka rabbinical college and a Jewish school at Hebron, where the Jews killed included a number of Americans, and

Railroads in Yugo-Slayia Financed by Americans Although all railroads In ¥ugo-Slavia are state-owned and state-built, a departure has been made by the Poxharevatz district government, which has. with permission of the minister ©f finance', concluded a loan with an American group for the construction of railways in its area. The loan amounts to $5,000,000 par value. Interest will be at 7 per cent which is considered moderate to view

then to many other places in Palestine. Latest reports, made indefinite by strict press censorship, said the Arabs of Transjordinia and Syria were rising in revolt, demanding their "complete rights’’ and the abrogation of European control in those lands. Upon Great Britain fell the burden of meeting the situation, and she responded swiftly. Her troop carrying planes carried hundreds of soldiers from the Palestine ports inland, and her bombing planes went into operation against the Arabs at Jerusalem and elsewhere. At Haifa, where Arabs were attacking the Jewish quarter, the British marines were said to have fired on both Arfibs and Jews, killing and wounding many. Leaders of American Jewish organizations called on President Hoover and Secretary Stimson and asked that they take every necessary step to protect the lives and property of American nationals. They were assured of the deep sympathy of both Mr. Hoover and/ Mr. Stimson for the Palestine sufferers and were told that Great Britain was doing everything possible to restore tranquil conditions. Then they called on Sir Esme Howard. British ambassador, and were given the same assurance by him. GERMANY’S five creditor nations reached a tentative agreement by. which Great Britain would get something like 80 per cent of the demaiidsset forth by Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden, and it looked as if the conference at The Hague would be successful. Then Gustav Stresemann. German foreign minister, •spoiled it all by announcing that Germany could not make the sacrifices called for by the arrangement and would not surrender its share in the surplus of the Dawes plan payments between April and September of this year over the payments called for by the Young plan. He said the Germans, in the Paris conference, bad gone to the limit of their country’s possibilities when they accepted the schedule of annuities under the Young plan. They were now asked to make another sacrifice in order to facilitate an accord among the creditors as to the distribution of reparations money which after all does not concern the German government. Broadly the agreement reached by the creditor nations and Great Britain gave the London government 40.000,000 marks out of 48.000.000 asked (about $9,600,000, against $11,640,000). Os the 40.(XM).000 marks. 36.000.000 were said to represent unconditional coimmifcializable German annuities, nearly all of which had been allotted to France;in the Paris draft of the Young plan. The third phase of the agreement was concessions to Britain in payment in kind. Among these was the agreement by Italy to buy an additional 1,090.000 tons of British coal annually for three years for the state railroads on the reparations account. «T INCOLN the Debater,” a bronze statue of heroic size, was unveiled at Freeport, 111., the scene of the most famous of the Lincoln-Doug-las debates in August, 1858. Ten thousand persons attended the ceremonies and listened to Senator George W. Norris, who delivered the chief address. The Nebraskan took the opportunity to make a hot attack on the electric power trust, the system of Presidential elections, the abuse of power by federal judges and the building of big a'rmies and navies. During the 1928 Presidential campaign, Senator Norris was mentioned as a possible third party candidate. Referring to the present system of electing Presidents, he charged that election of an independent candidate for President is possible in theory but absolutely impossible in practice. He argued that the electoral college should be abolished. Lawrence d. tyson, united States senator from Tennessee, died in a sanitarium near Philadelphia where te had been under treatment for several weeks. He was just completing his first term in the senate. Tyson was born in Greenville, S. C.. sixty-seven tears ago and was gradu ated from West Point in 1883. While commander of cadets at the University of Tennessee he studied law and later practiced in Knoxville. He served as a colonel of volunteers in the Span-ish-American war and then went- into the Tennessee legislature. During the World war he distinguished himself

of financial conditions. The money will be used for a normal-gauge line from Pozharevatz to the Danube, which will later be joined by a bridge with the Rumanian railway system and will provide a new link between westurn Europe, Belgrade and Rumania. A narrow gauge line will also be built to join Pozharevatz with the narrow gauge system of western Serbia and Bosnia, and this will give the Danube basin a new outlet to the Adriatic through the ports of Dubrovnik and the Kotor estuary.

as a brigadier general commanding a brigade of Tennessee and Carolina troops attached to the “Old Hickory” division, which saw service in France. One of the outstanding German figures in the World war. Field Marshal Limon von Sanders, passed away in Munich. He was the cavalry officer to whom Mohammed Reshid V, sultan of Turkey, by arrangement with Kaiser William 11, intrusted in 1913 the reorganization of the Turkish army. He remained in the Turkish defenses at Gallipoli in 1915 and after the British retirement organized the Turkish fighting forces in Asia Minor and conducted operations in 1918 in Palestine. The Turkish debacle, however, nullified his efforts. CHINA and Russia seemed to be marking time last week in their Manchurian quarrel, though the propaganda agencies of both nations were active. The Soviet radio station broadcasting from Khabarovsk, Siberia, kept telling the Chinese that America and France were plotting to set up an international commission to control the Chinese Eastern railway, and considerable anti-American feeling was created in Harbin until the newspapers there printed a true statement concerning President Hoover’s efforts under the Kellogg pact to prevent a Sino-Russlan war. There was another bloody outbreak of the Mongolian Nomads in western Manchuria, scores of Chinese being slain, and naturally the Chinese authorities blamed the Russians for instigating, it. Extreme heat of defective shells caused an explosion that destroyed the Chinese government’s largest arsenals in Nanking and the conflagration spread to other buildings. The property damage was estimated at $1,500,000. Governors of the public lands states held a conference in Salt Lake City and received a message from President Hoover in which he suggested that the surface rights of remaining unappropriated public lands should be transferred to the states. Western senators in Washington heard this proposition with surprise and disfavor, looking on it as somewhat of a gold brick, inasmuch as the mineral rights which the President would retain in the hands of the federal government furnish the revenues which the public land states long have wished to get hold of. They contended that the revenues from the surface rights would be insignificant. As Senator Borah said, those lands are “chiefly desert and mountain territory and a jack rabbit could hardly live on them.” SOVIET peoples commissars have adopted a three shift day and seven-day week for Russian industry, according to the Moscow Isvestia. According to the plan each worker gets every fifth day free. bu. various shifts' in the factories will keep producing day and night. The factories will only be closed five times a year for the observance of the greatest revolutionary holidays. Besides abolishing Sunday completely and destroying the influence of the religious sects on the working class, the Isvestia finds the new plan will also assist communism and destroy the old forms of life. Even the family will be abolished and the workers will live in socialized houses with perhaps a segregation of the sexes. IF THE prohibition law is to be enforced in New York city, the federal authorities must do all the enforcing, according to Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen. After a conference with county prosecutors, magistrates and police officers, the commissioner notified Federal Prohibition Administrator Campbell of that distrist that he flatly refused to take the responsibility for local dry enforcement. He also refused to order the police to proceed against speakeasies under the state nuisance law. “If you are unwilling to discharge your sworn obligations to the federal government,” Mr. Whalen said, “or wish to make a confession of your inability to effectively direct the activities of your department, for which a large proportion of a $36,000,000 appropriation is alloted, the admission should be primarily to your superiors in Washington instead of ‘passing the buck’ to the state law enforcing officers.”

This loan is regarded as another indication of the great interest which foreign money is beginning to take in Yugo-Slavia which has vast potential wealth awaiting capital. The French are draining marshes and exploiting water power ; the British have offered loans for the construction of electric generating stations, for the paving and drainage of Belgrade and for railway construction; Germans are building the Panchevo bridge, which, when completed, will be the longest span over the Danube. - -

DADDY'S Vgl EVENING O FAIRYTAIIIIO Graham Bonner corntn/fr err wejrnn unw THE KIND FARMER “In the very first place of all people do not like snakes," said Mr. Bull Snake. “There is no special reason for this. To be sure, there are many dangerous, ; bad snakes, but lots of people don’t j like any snakes at all.” “Even when we are nice, gentle. ‘ helpful, kindly sn ikes?” asked Mrs. ■ Bull Snake.* hissing in surprise. ' “Even then.” said Mr. Bull Snake. ; "That’s the unfairness of L all. If they didn’t like dangerous snakes I wouldn’t mind, but when they say they don’t like nice, friendly snakes, j they hurt my poor feelings.” “They hurt mine, too.” said Mrs. , Bull Snake. “Well, don’t become down-hearted.” i said Mr. Bull Snake, “for I have pleasant news and cheerful tidings for you.” "Dear me, dear me,” hissed Mrs. Bull Snake, as she wriggled a fittle in the long jttfuss. "You are very clever and is far beyond me.” “Didn’t I make you hear?” asked Mr. Bull Snake, in a louder hissing tone. “Oh, yes. I heard all right,” said | Mrs. Bull Snake, “only you talked so i wisely.” “When you said my talk was far beyond you I thought you meant you hadn’t heard it and that it had gone off in the distance somewhere” “No. I meant it was far l eyond my intelligence, not far beyond my hearing.” said Mrs. Bull Snake. “What would you have explained?” usked Mr. Bull Snake. “I don’t know what it is to be down-hearted.” Mrs. Bull Snake an“They Hurt Mine, Too.” swered, t‘l don’t just know what it means. I would like to have it explained.” “When you are down-hearted you are &»d, and 'f’ was afraid you were becoming sad hearing so much about people who didn't like us.” “Oh, now, I see.” said Mrs. Bull 'fejiake. “Well, I won’t become downhearted then because you said you had pleasant news for me. “Rut what are cheerful tidings? I know what cheerful means, but how about tidings? • “Do you mean something to eat?” “No,” laughed Mr. Bull Snake, “cheerful tidings are about the same as good news, and I will tell you the pleasant story I have to tell you, right away.” Mrs. Bull Snake wrigglet in a comfortable position and said: “I am ready to hear.” So Mr. Bull Snake continued: “I have been feeling sad for sow time over the way people did not like snakes. It seemed to me rather hard on the snakes, as I've said before. “There are so many harmless ones and we shouldn’t suffer for the bad ones. "Well, I was becoming sorrowful and sad when I heard of a farmer near here- who wrote a letter to be published in the papers around these parts. “Papers, my dear Mrs. Bull Snake, are things people read where they learn what is going on in the world — i they read the news, in short. “Now. this farmer wrote and said | that we did a great deal of good in; destroying creatures who hurt his clo- i ver and alfalfa, and I feel so happy that there is such a kind farmer who I appreciates us and who tells about his ; appreciation to the world.” “Ah. that is splendid, indeed,” said i Mrs. Bull Snake, hissing very happily.
