Today England's Latest. Look Out, Politicians. Mr. Stone's Enemies. F. B. Kellogg, an Ameru ' can. f. By ARTHUR BRIBANE. N-___ 1 ou remember the recent de *Jruct.ion of the big battleship 'Washington, not quite finished. Jhis country, having spent about 130,000,000 on that battleship. *ook it out to sea and sank it to oblige our dear friends in Europe. They didn’t want us to have too wany ships, especially as they couldn't compete with us. Our kin dergarten statesmen destroyed and junked $100,000,000 worth of new fighting ship material. Europe and Asia junked a few old craft out of'date. ^ — .. Now read of two battleships about to be launched by England. A British expert says of them that the will “put all existing bat tleships back in the Victorian era.” These ships, built without fun nels. and gigantic guns built for ward, are useful in a double way. The broad, long decks, clear of turrets and superstructure, supply a launching and landing place for flying ships. Carried on the deck they can leave the “mother” battle ship and destroy enemy ships hun dreds of miles out of gunfire and torpedo range. This great battleship will ride 0 out to sea, carrying her deadly bat tle planes with her, as the old no bleman rode out with his hawks on his wrist, ready to be released at the sight of the prey. England is building 50 squadrons of flying battleships and is about to launch two of the most power ful fighting ships in the world, to act as battleship carriers. And our miserably incompetent politicians destroy the few good ships we have, provide no fighting air ships and talk their provincial platitudes about peace. It would be laugh able if it were not so very serious. Pity those responsible, if the thousands of flying ships that Japan is turning out, at the rate of 500 a month, ever come this way and find us unprepared. There would he trouble then for some politicians, and serious trouble. Further information would be welcome concerning the motives of individuals that oppose the presi dent’s appointment of Attorney General Stone to the supreme court. What disturbs those that oppose j the nomination? How much of the opposition is due to the fact that as soon as he was appointed Stone proceeded to select competent lawyers, such as /crome Michael of Konta and Hvirehway, in New York City, to dig B into the war frauds, instead of let B ting the grafters rest in peace? And how much of the opposition is due to Attorney General Stone’s tifude toward the combination of l srvester manufacturers and other ■ opcerns that do not like to be dis turbed? Stone has shown himself ener getic, earnest and highly capable as ■ ii attorney general, faithfully rep resenting his client, the public. The citizens will regret that Stone leaves the attorney general’s office,1 and will welcome his appointment to the supreme bench. Concerning the appointment of Frank B. Kellogg, chosen by the president to take Hughes’ place, there will be only approval. When the president sent Kellogg to the Court of St. James, he sent a gen uine American, whose mind is in this country, and whose ideas are those of the United States. He will be an American secretary of state, pot as we have occasionally had during the past administration, an imitation British secretary of state. If some old-fashioned American of the type of Jackson or Lincoln re turned and saw Kellogg sitting at his desk, he would say, “I see they are still employing Americans on American jobs.” The resignation of Secretary Hughes illustrates once more the fact that the people do not suf ficiently pay for the service of able men. It is utterly impossible for such a man as Hughes td live as he must live, and provide for his family, on the salary that the people pay a cabinet officer. He has been con > tent to remain in office, using his , accumulated earnings. But justice to his family com pels him to return now to law prac tice, in which, entirely by his legal ability and entirely apart from any * official influence—which is not al ways the rase—Hughes is able with ease to earn 30 times what the people pay him. < Hughes, working for the public for 20 years, has sacrificed not less than $6,000,000, plus interest, by doing so. Earthquake tremors disturb the Japanese. An earthquake predicted last summer for early in January, was felt last Friday, two severe shocks. Mount Aso is in eruption. The Japanese have many troubles that the hrave, enterprising nation doesn’t deserve._ Part of the trouble Is in those frightfully deep “holes” in the Pacific ocean discovered by scientists of the Japanese navy. The deepest of all known ocean depths, just off the coast of Japan, is so deep that the top of the high ost mountain on earth would be several miles below the water, if put in that hole. Submarine landslide*, running down into such deep holes, might explain some earthquakes, (CopyrlKhf. 1>26 > AUVKRTIHKMKNT.

By LOWELL THOMAS. "Just as we were get'tng ready to leave Bagdad," Yeniarked Eric Nel son, "the battery on the- Chicago went dead, and it was not until 11 o'clock that we finally started west toward the Euphrates. It was a gorgeous day with perfect visibility. The golden domes and minarets of Kaze main, and the white and gold minarets of Bag dad's 66 other mosques spark led in the sun light as we flew over the ruined canals and Irrigation channels of ancient Babylon. "A half hour after leaving the city of the Arabian Nights we came to the region which the Mohammedans all believe was the original home of Ad am and Eve. The British are now engaged in restoring this garden of Eden. If they succeed, then Meso potamia may once more become one of the richest and most populous countries In the world, just as it was thousands of years ago In the days when the ancient kings of Babylonia built canals that were as wide as rivers and that were hundreds of miles long. "Although we did not see It, the British airmen told us they often flew up the Tigris to the right of the route we were taking, and looked down upon a huge canal ,30ft miles long and nearly 406 feet wide, from which countless smaller canals ran In all directions. Over Countless Buried Cities. "For the archeologist and students of ancient history this region over which we flew both on our way up to Bagdad from Persia, and between Bagdad and Turkey, Is the most fas cinating on earth. There are more burled cities here than anywhere. Although we didn't see It, the British airmen told us we were to fly directly above the Tower of Babel, which, by the way, was used as a wireless sta tion during the late war. The people of the east also believe it was here that Noah lived, built his ark, and eruised around during the great flood. The tombs of Jonah, Ezeklal, Daniel, Noah, and many other Biblical patriarchs qre pointed out In this i*e glon and are visited by both Jewish and Mohammedan pilgrims. "As flew up the valley of the Euphrates and looked down on ancient Assyria, and the land of the Hltti^es, we were constantly passing over mounds beneath which arc bur ied cities whose names have even been forgotten. Most of them are from 3,000 to 6,000 years old, but some may even date back for 10,000 or 15,000 years. Archeologists have already discovered tablets giving the names of more than 100 kings who ruled here before the time of Abra ham. Surely this must be the most fascinating spot in all the world for the explorer. American, British and French scientist* have found evi dence which clearly indicates that life was as well organized in Babylon 5,000 years ago as It Is In New York or London today. The laws and ad ministrative system of Hammurabi 1 were not so much different from o'Ur own. "On this flight from Rncdad «ern*s Growth In order to grow, any business must give service of merit and enjoy public confidence. Our business has grown in a few years from a very modest establish ment to one of the most completely equipped cleaning plants in this part of the country. We are known throughout a large part of the United States for the posi tion we have at tained in the clean ing industry. We offer the latest and best in equip ment and the per sonnel of our organ ization is the high est. •MAX I WALKER Phone KE nwood 0202 2410 Amu Avenue the North Arabian desert to Aleppo, we followed the Euphrates most of the way. The monotony of the trip was broken by watching the tortuous course of the river, by looking for modnds that might Indicate burled cities, and by dodging small sand storms. We saw scores of 'sand devils' whirling about the desert. They seemed to travel at great speed and reminded us somewhat of the pictures of waterspouts that vve used to see in our school geographies. We wondered what would happen if one of them hit us. Sometimes it re quired quick maneuvering, but we [managed to keep out of their track, although eeveral went whistling by within a few yards of us and made the air awfully humpy. "Sixty miles south of Aleppo we encountered a big one that looked like a mountain coming right, across the desert toward us. Climbing to (1,000 feet we got wSpll above It. The top of that storm was at about 4.000 feet, and the sun shining down on the whirling white particles made it look like a spinning column of vapor. "At 5:10 in the afternoon we ar rived over a city of flat roofed houses (hat looked even larger front the air than Bagdad, whence we had come. In the center of It on a high hill was a mammoth citadel with enormous crumbling walls and the tall miniature of an ancient mosque. This city was Aleppo, the capital of Saladin, the mighty Saracen conquer or who defeated Richard the Lion Hearted before the gates of Jerusa lem. "Here also was where Field Mar shal Viscount Allenby, the modern crusader, got full revenge for the de feats of Coeur de Lion, for it was here that the Turkish armies finally threw down their arms before the [advance of Allenby’s cavalry, armor ed cars and airplanes; and before Jhe onrushing Bedouins mounted on cam els and horses who were led by Endr Felsal and ‘Lawrence the mystery man.’ Frenrh Fliers in Control. ."Today Aleppo is ruled by the French in connection with their man date over Syria. N+ine miles north of the city we came down on the French airdrome. Here, just as In Mesopotamia, we found a country that is controlled almost entirely by squadrons of airplanes. "The French officers were all nut to welcome us and the first thing they insisted upon doing was to drink our health in wine of special vintage which they had saved for the occasion. Then we worked until dark, spent the night in the principal hotel in Aleppo, and were up at dawn, ready to start for Constanti nople. With the Bosphorus only a day's flight away, we felt as though we could see victory and the end of our journey round the world in sight. The mere thought that we were so near Europe filled u* with new life and enthusiasm." r-v Custfr County Farmer Takes First Railroad Ride in Recent Storm --' Broken Bow, .lati. 1!.—Dave Wil liams, resident of Custer county for 39 years, took his first ride on a rail road train recently. Mr. Williams re sides in the new Helena vicinity, and it has been his habit to make trips by anto or with a team, but during the last storm he came to the count) seat by train. Ringer Is Mute When Arraigned Court Enter* Plea of Not Guilty to Charge of Mur dering Carl Morse. Hastings, Jan. 12.—Donald Ringei will be tried on the charge of mur dering Carl Moore. His rase will probably he heard during the next term of district court, which opens January 19. He was arraigned in dis trict court this morning and stood mute when asked If he would plead. Ringer pleaded guilty t'o the charge when arraigned In county court last Wednesday. His counsel. J. E. Wll !ets, later Jiied a motion asking that the plea be expunged from the rec ords of the proceedings. This was overruled by County Judge Turbyflll and the defense appealed in district court this morning. Judge Dilworth sustained the lower court in accepting the plea, ruling that fh» proceedings had been regu lar. He also overruled the defense plea of abatement, in which the lat ter set forth that Ringer's words and actions had been dominated since his capture at Gulfport. Miss., on Decem ber 1 by officers who took him. When he failed to plead In district court this morning Judge Dlivvorth entered the plea of "not guilty," which automatically causes his case to come up for trial. TRAIN SERVICE CUT MEETS OPPOSITION Orofton, Jan. 12.—Much opposition has been manifested In northeast Ne braska. to the proposition of the C. & O. railway company to take off one passenger train from the Crofton! branch and one from the Bloom' ’ branch.
