Identical notes were handed to the Cantonese government at Hankow by the consular officers of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, demanding apologies and reparations for the Nanking outrages. Each note demanded punishment for the commanders and the National- ist troops responsible for the Nanking murders, injuries, and property dam- age; an apology by the Nationalist chlef commander for the outrages, In- cluding a definite statement covering guarantees against similar occur- rences In the future, and complete reparations for personal injuries to foreigners and for the property dam- aged. Seven foreigners met death and “nameless outrages” were committed against foreign women during the Nanking rioting. to investigate the Nanking “incident,” not admitting the responsibility of the Nationalist troops for the outrages.

NAYAL disarmament, if and when i obtained, is weemingly up to the conference proposed by President Coolidge and scheduled for next June in Geneva. The league of Nations struggling in the Swiss city to ready an agenda, has falled to resch any agreement, the viewpoint of the French and the British being admit- tedly irreconcilable, The commission will merely report the points on which the delegates were able to agree, and these are not enough to he of avail. The French sought limitation on a basis of total tonnage, while dritain, with the support of the United States, sought limitation by classes of ships, which was the basis for limitation agreed upon at the Washington arms conference. The French proposal was that limitation should be by tonnage, but that one year's notice would have to be given before any nation shifted tonnage from one class to another. Italy had fa plan that was similar to that of the French but even less strict, Before the commission adjourned Hugh Gibson, American delegate, served notice that the Uniteq States refused to accept any treaty’ for In- ternational or league control, not only because the United States is not a member of the League of Nations, but because it believes the efficacy and vajue of treaties depends entirely up- on the sincerity of the signatories, He stated, however, that “if the other states, members of the league, fre able to reach an agreement among themselves on mensures for the utili. zation of the league's machinery, and believe they will be efficacious, Amer. fea would not stand in the way of thelr adopting measures deemed de get any seemed to the United States” ~ TORMS, floods and heavy snows af- S flicted the West and Middle West The most serious of the tornado that utterly destroyed the town of Rocksprings, Texas, Tuesday evening.

Woodstock, England.—In spite of housing shortages and rising rents can live without fear of waking up some morning to find that thelr rents have been doubled. They are the duke of Marlborough and duke of Welling- ton and their landlord is the king of England, Both npoblemen hold thelr great estates as grants of royal favor from the crown, jut the gift is not out- right, Some return must be made and £0 It 1s that each of these noble lords must go once each year on a solemn pligrimage to the king of England at Buckingham palace to make some gift which will insure his tenure for the following year. The selection of the gift is by no means left to the personal fancy of the giver, It is carefully set down in Blackstone's “commentaries” that the two tenants must render to the king annually “some small implement of war as a bow, a sword, nn lance, an arrow, or the like.” The duke of Mariborough's estate, Blenhelm palace, at Woodstock, was given to the first duke of Marlborough as a reward for his victory at the battle of Blenheim in the War of the Spanish Succession In 1704. It was begun in 1704 and completed in 1722 The total cost of the palace was £300, 000, of which £250,000 was defrayed by parliament. Similarly, Stratford Saye house, near Reading, was presented to the first duke of Wellington by the nation, in 1818, following his victory over Na- poleon at the battle of Waterloo, Soviet to Preserve Chapel of Virgin Moscow.

The borough claimed it impeded traffic. “This precious Sixteenth structure,” sald the commissariat, “has every claim to be preserved with the rest of Russia's monuments, be cause It represents a definite his torical, artistic period in the life of the country.” Standing at the entrance Square, the diminutive edifice made famous by its {kon of the Iberian Virgin, reputed to have miraculous powers, and by the fact that all czars during the last 300 years invariably went there for inspiration and bless ing before ascending the throne. Red Was to ‘Get Thee Gone,’ Divorce Decree in Turkestan Tashkent, U. 8. 8 R—Turkestan Is one of the few remaining Moslem countries where the system of tem. porary marriages prevalls. Ag in the new Turkey, a man may divorce his wife by saying In sub- stance: “Get thee gone!” He Is then free to try matrimony with another. But the woman, under Islamic law, cannot remarry until 100 days have elapsed after her divorce. If she does so, she is cast out from Moham- medan society as a sinner. Among the natives of Turkestan the penalty for infidelity in a wife is both severe and humiliating. To show her guilt, her face is biackened and she is placed on a donkey, with her face to- ward its tail, and led through the bazars of the town. Judge Insists White Plains, N. Y.—Would a wife refuse alimony? Asked by Justice Morschauser how much she wanted, Mrs. Wilhelmina Lechmann said: “I don't want any.” “Oh, yes, you do,” sald the justice. “I will make your husband pay $100 a month and you must take it.” Shoshones ‘Bury’ Beds of Dead Warriors Fort Washakie, Wyo. ~Mod- ern customs and ancient beliefs have clashed with weird re- sults in the Wind River burial ground near here. The old Idea that the Rho shone Indian should have his personal effects buried with him was workable in the days when he slept on a buffalo robe, but these modern beds present a problem which is generally solved by leaving the bed above ground. The burial place was estab- lished 43 years ago by Rev, John Roberts adjoining his log mis. sion, which still stands, At that time the funeral ceremony con- sisted of placing the body of the deceased on the back of a pony which was led, followed by a cortege, up long trails to a mountain top.
