WHAT'S GOING ON 1 NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS President Goes to Cuba and American Marines Bomb Nicaraguans. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT COOLIDGE left Wash ington Friday by train for Key West, Fla., where he boarded the bat tleship Texas and steamed across to Havana, Cuba, thus leaving the United States for the first time In his incum bency of the Presidential office. With him were Mrs. Coolldge and the dis tinguished gentlemen comprising the American delegation to the Pan American congress. It was to partici pate In the opening of that assem blage that Mr. Coolidge made the journey, and his stay on the Island was to be brief. There were unmistakable signs that the leadership of the United States In the affairs of the continent was to be contested by the delegations of some *f the Latin American, nations, this being precipitated by resentment against American Intervention in Nic aragua. In order that the President and his delegation might not be em barrassed by criticism at home, the senate committee on foreign relations decided to postpone Its investigation of the Nlcaraguan situation until af ter his return. Such an inquiry was called for by a resolution Introduced by Senator Wheeler of Montana and a majority of the committee seemed to favor It but deferred action for the reason stated. Protests against our course In Nicaragua have been rather frequent, the latest being In the form of a cablegram to President Coolldge from the editors of papers In Bogota, Colombia. > Meanwhile American marines num bering 1,000 were being hurried down to Nicaragua from both the Atlantic and the Pacific stations and General Lejeune, commander of the corps, also went down there to look over the sit uation. The announced Intention to break up the rebel band led by Gen eral Sandlno and give the country complete peace has not been altered. The bandits, who are said to be trained by a former German officer named Muller, are active and enter prising and have made several at tempts to ambush detachments of ma rines. In one Instance, at Somotillo, a number of native troops deserted their allies and helped the rebels In an attack on a patrol commanded by Capt Paul W. Payne of the marines. Outnumbered, Payne ' retreated to Tllla Nueva, obtained reinforcements and returned to Somotllla, but was again driven off. A larger body of 'troops was rushed there from Chlnan flega, but the bandits and deserters had fled to the mountains. Lieut F. 0. Schllt, marine aviator, discovered about 200 bandits lying In ambush awaiting a column of marines which was marching from Qullall to Jlcaro. With bombs and machine gun the lieutenant "put tbe band to rout killing fourteen and wounding others. Bombs dropped from another marine plane north ' of Qullali killed nine rebels, breaking up a concentration. C ENATOB DAVID A. REED'S com ^ mittee that has been Investigating the alleged Mexican documents that were publish^ In the Hearst papers made a partial report In which were these findings: 1. There la not a scintilla of evi dence thnt any United States senator has accepted, or wns promised, or was offered, directly or Indirectly, any money or other valuable thing, by any officer or representative of the gov ernment of Mexico. 2. The pretended flocument show ing that $1,215,000 was withdrawn from the Mexican treasury and sent to the Mexican consul general In New York to be paid to United States sen ators, Is not genuine, but Is spurious and fraudulent, and. In so far as It Purports to be signed by the Presi dent of Mexico or the secretary of the treasury of Mexico, It Is forged. The committee said It bad not yet been able to determine the Identity of the manufacturer of the spurious doc uments. Senator Heed told the sen Herald Arboretum at Greet 44Living Library* In paaataf the $200,000,000 defi ciency appropriation bill, congress ha? ?P??ed the way definitely tor estab lishment" of a national arboretnm on outskirts of Washington, for 30 years the ambition of scientists and patrons of plant and tree life. *onr hundred aerea of the proposed ?Its already la owned by the govern ?Mt, and with the aid of $300,000 ??da andaMo by the bill, an addt ate he believed Miguel Avlla. who ob tained the papers for Hearst, and John Page, who acted for the publish er, had testified falsely, and he criti cized Hearst severely. pOLONEI. LINDBERGH'S success ful flights nre becoming almost monotonous, and some one has said that If he did not land safely some where, that would be news. However, his tour still makes interesting read ing and the Latin-Americans do not weary of receiving him tumultuously and heaping honors upon him. Monday of last week the lone eagle dropped down on the flying field at Panama that was built und named for him, af ter a four hours' fight from Costa Rica. The huge crowd almost mobbed him, and President Chlarl received him warmly. For two days there were fetes, banquets, reviews and other functions, and Lindbergh took President Chlarl and Vice President Duque up In an army observation plune. Then the flyer had several days, busy but more restful. In the Canal Zone. He announced that he would fly to Venezuela next, alight ing at the army air field near Mara cay, where . President Gomez lives. Then he plnnned to proceed to St. Thomas, one of the Virgin islands, next to San Juan, Porto Rico, where there Is an excellent army field; thence to Santo Domingo, where there also Is a good marlne-coni|tructed field; then to Port au Prince, Haiti,. which has the best field In the Carib bean, and then to Havana. pROBABLY Pope Plus XI will be * known In history as the author of the encyclical rejecting movements favoring the unity of the Christian churches regardless of form or creed. It was declared in Borne to be the most important Vatican document Is sued since the World war, and there can be no doubt that Its efTect will be great and widespread. It was con sidered specifically as a rejection of the efforts of the Anglo-Catholics of the Church of England to bring about an entente with the Catholic church, but its terms are general. The pope declares the sole religion was revealed to the Catholic church, which has maintained Itself one and Identical throughout the centuries. Of religious conferences and con gresses for unity to which all are In vited the encyclical says: "Such at tempts cannot obtain the approval of Catholics. These movements are founded on the false theory presup posing that all religions are good and meritorious; therefore all, although In a different way, manifest and sig nify equally that sentiment, inborn In us, to be carried to God for reverent recognition of His dominion. "Followers of such a theory not alone deceive and err, but repudiate true religion, distorting concepts, tending little by little to naturalism and atheism, whence clearly those ad hering to such theories detach them selves from the religion revealed by God. Under the appearance of good they more easily hide deception when 'they try to promote the unity of all Christians." SECRETARY Of THE NAVY WIL BUR and Admiral Hughes, chief of naval operations, appearing before the house naval affairs committee In behalf of the new *725,000,000 con struction , program, told the congress men flatly that the American fleet la now Inadequate to the defense of the country. They asserted that the building of 72 vessels. Including crulo ers, submarines, destroyer leaders and aircraft carriers, would fulfill the sea defense needs of the United States. While denying that the program can be considered as placing the United States In competition with oth er nations, Secretary Wilbur admitted that In working out American needs the size of other navies was taken Into consideration. He said the pro gram wonld put the United 8tates well within the 5-5-3 ratio as far as Britain is concerned and slightly above the ratio with Japan. Admlra)l,Hg?hes said the comple tion of the program would give the ckontry "reasonable security," bat would Dot give the United States com mand of the sea. __ , SURPRISINGLY, the Democratic national committee In session In Washington selected Houston. Texas, ttonal and contiguous 400 acres Is ex pected to be added. The 800-acre .tract, which It Is hoped mag be Increased to more than 2.000 acres In time, would constitute an outdoor laboratory for pottle edu cation in botanical science, horticul ture, agriculture and landscape gar dening. Dr. Frederick V. Ooellle, senior bot anist In the federal bureau of plant Industry, characterises the arboretum as "a Using library of the meet tmper taat trees end plants of the wortd." ??? I ? for the national convention and set the opening date for June 28. The conteit waa between Houston and San Francisco and the fifth and de ciding ballot was 54 to 48 In favor of the Texas city. Houston offered $200, 000 for the convention and promised to build a new ball if the city audi torium, which seata 5,000, were con sidered too small. The place has hotel accommodations for 10,000 to 12,000 persons. The Jackson day -banquet was at tended by most of the party leaders and harmony prevailed, at least on the surface. Gov. A1 Smith of New York was not present, but a letter from him was read and evoked long and loud applause. To observers in Washington it begins to look as If Smith might get the Democratic nom ination almost without a contest. On the Republican side it was an nounced that Frank O. Lowden would enter the North Dakota Presidential primaries to be held March 20, tha first to be held in the Middle West. In the East the Hoover boom was growing steadily and his cause was helped by the fact that Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford both decinred for him. Senator Jim Watson of In diana said he had not yet decided whether to be a contender, but that if he entered the race it would be hs earnest and not as a stalking horse. Reorganization of the Chicago, Milwaukee A St Paul railroad having been approved by the Inter state commerce commission, Federal Judge Wllkerson In Chicago Issued erdera for the receiver to transfer the company to the new organization, and at midnight Sunday the old com pany passed out of existence. Its place being taken by the Chicago, Milwau kee, St. Panl A Pacific railroad. Henry a. Scandrett of Omaha Is pres ident and H. e. Byram, former presi dent, becomes chairman of the board of directors. The reorganization was carried through by Kuhn, Loeb A Co. ' During the receivership of near ly three years the property has stead ily Improved, according to Mr. Byram. REPLYING to Secretary Kellogg's suggestion of a multilateral treaty renouncing war, the French government proposes that the ban shall be restricted to "aggressive war." This is not agreeable to our government and in a second note Mr. Kellogg shows It clings to Its. original stand that the treaty's declaration be against war without any qualifying or modifying definition attached, and also that other world powers be asked to unite In signing It The new turn In the discussion is not considered by the State department to bar the way tp ultimate negotiation of a treaty between France and America, and ul timately with all powers, declaring against war as a weapon In Interna tional relations. THOMAS HARDT, dean of English literature and the last of the great Victorian writers, died Wednes day at his home near Dorchester at the age of eighty-seven, after a month's Illness. Of late years the fa mous novelist of Wessez had devoted himself to writing poetry, but wheth er any of these poems will be put into print is doubtful. Among other deaths of the week were those of Louis F. Post of Wash ington, author, editor and adherent of George's single tax theories;'Mar vin Hughltt of Chicago, pioneer rail road builder and executive; 8arn A. Con boy of New York, labor leader, and Dr. Julius Orlnker of Chicago, eminent neurologist. Albert d. lasker, former chairman of the United States shipping board, and Mrs. Lasker hare given 11.000,000 to the University of Chicago for medical research direct ed toward establishing the nature^ causes, prevention and cure of degen erative diseases. In other words, tbs aim Is to Increase the life expectancy of men and women who have reached middle'age. DEATH In the electric chair hi Sing Sing brought to a close the tragedy of Ruth Snyder and Henry Jndd Gray, murderers of the woman's hashand. Resourceful lawyers tried op to the last minute to prevent or 'dglay the execution, bat all their ef forts were futile. , "Economically," be explains, "the arboretum would develop tester grow ing Umber trees.

Jhephjrdj wfokstine A Shtphord of tho Holy Land. | (Prepared by the National Geo* rap hie Society. Waahlnatoa. D. t) PALESTINE, the background (or most of the Bible story and his tory, haa beeu called "the on changing East." bnt steam and motor ars supplanting the camel, the nsa and the "two women at the mill"; tractors are taking the place of the ox and aas yoked to the crooked, oaken, one-handled plow; mechanical reapers ate supplanting the sickle, and the airplane now flies with the eagle. But the shepherd life of the Holy Land baa remained unchanged alnce the daya of Abraham and the first Christmas. The natives of Palestine are com posed of three distinct classes. Their homes, food, clothing and customs are dissimilar, but they are united by lan guage and tradition. The Bedouin tent-dweller Is a nom ad and warrior; to him flocks and herds are a main source of livelihood. The fellah, or peasant. Is a farmer, living in a stone bouse, huddled with others In a village. To blm flock raising Is an Integral part of his oc cupation, varying In Importance with the location of his village. The madany cluss. living In walled cities and open towns. Is made up of the artisans and merchants. Few city folk keep flecks; those that do are the local dairymen. It Is the peasant shepherd with whom this narrative Is concerned. -- The peasant shepherd boy Is usual ly the youngest male laborer of the family. As the oldest soo grows up to help the father with the sowing, plowing, reaping, threshing, and olive picking, a younger takes bis place with the flock; and so on down the line until the lot of being the family shep herd finally falls to the youngest. The shepherd boy wears a simple robe of cotton; this Is strapped around hla body by "a leathern girdle about his loins f and still, like John the Baptist In the - Wilderness, be baa his raiment or coat of camel's hair or of coarse bandspun wooL HI* Aba I* ?

Not tbe women, bat more especial ly tbe men In their leisure boors, and the shepherd boys, as they lead the flocks on tlie mountains, spin tbe long, coarse wool Into yarn for tbeir own coats. That tbe spinner spins as be walks along preclode* tbe use of s wheel; sren tbe simple spinning wheel of oar forefathers Is beyond the In genuity and needs of a fellah. A small contrivance of oak wood. Into wblcb be can wind tbe yarn Uk* a bell, suffices. Be glres tbe ball a dexterous whirl, and U spins about twisting tbe separate wool strand* Into a coarse yarn. Tbe yarn Is taken to 'tb* village weaver, lfost of It la a natural white; a smaller portion la of undyed black to produce tbe customary wide stripe In making tbe better ard liner gsr merits tbe doth Is woven wide enoogi for tb* required length of tbe aba. Villages are tbe homes of tb* agrl culturista. Unlike American farmer* those of Palestine Uvs la huddled hamlets and till their many small stripe of land scattered round about Tb* homes of tbe village shepherd* are mostly located 00 the mountains and therefore their bosses era built 01 stone. In the Fellah's Dwelling. Inside tbe large ?as roomed home, with its high, thick walla tb* feu ah builds half across (lie back a rowyeh, a sort of mezzanine Jloor, over a series of small domes supported on short pillars.. Thla elevation, reached bj steep, narrow stcpe, Is the abode of the family. Beside the small win dows, with their Iron bars, opening out from this higher level, there Is an open hearth and chimney. Here we And a row of hand made, sun-dried clay bins containing wheat, harley, lentils, Ogs and raisins for the winter food supply; also large Jars of oil. Behind this row of bins Is stored fodder for the animals. In a recess In the wall Is a pile of bedding, fold ed up during the day and at night spread out on the mat-covered door. Of special Interest Is the lower level of the house?the stable portion of the home. Along the walls are ranged stone mangers, to whlcb are tied the plow oxen, milch cows, nnd the in evitable camel. Beneath the rowyeb are the qunrteri for the docks, par titioned off from the rest of the cattle by piles of thorn bushes collected for the winter fuel. After a rainless summer, when all 1* parched and dry, the winter sets In with Its showers, its occasional ter rific storm of rain and wind, now and then a lashing hailstorm, and with snow dairies sometimes years apart. During this season the shepherd dnds scant pickings for his dock on the rocky mountainsides, and how ever warm and pleasant the day may be. the nights are always cold and raw; so the sheep are stobled In the house below the rowyeh. As spring approacnes. the rain storms change to showers; the grass shoots forth, the dowers bloom. The sheep are sheared, and. since their quarters In the house have become too warm, they are kept during the night In the sheepfold. Spring, with Its abundance of green pastures, passes; the lambs are bom; the harvest time approaches; then the grain Is reaped. Following the reapers are the gleaners, the destitute of the village, who. like Ruth, the Moabltesa. are still, according to the Biblical Injunction, never debarred from the harvest held. snepntrd't uauy Lilt. After the gleaners comes the shep herd with his flock. Amid the freshly cat stabble. succulent growths are found; also dried, but tender, blades of the wneat or hurley; hut. best of ?II. the sheep And. deep down In the stubble, many an ear of groin dropped by the reapers and pussed over by the gleaners. These nourishing pickings are soon gone, and In the desert places the good shepherd now seeks summer pas ture. During the spring and hart est the shepherd stays around his home Til lage. In the morning we And him lead ing forth his flocks to the harvest Aelds; at noon we see him leading on to water. At ntght. wrapped In a sheepskin coat and his unchanging aha. the youth sleeps on the flat roof, from which polnf'of vantage he can see the sheep In the fold, peacefully chewing tbefr cuds, at any tfme of the nlglit; fbr, although they are surrounded by high atone walls and the single door Is securely locked and barred, be knows thai thieves are always to be (eared, and therefore Is constantly on the alert At the dose of day. at the flock near* the sheepfold. the shepherd runs ahead of bla bleating charges, eager to enter their home. He plants himself la the doorway, counts tbe ?beep ooo by ooe at they "pass un der the rod." which la used In driv ing away any animal not of the flock. f MOTTOKJLY 1 ) HEART OF GOLD IW 9J W. i. ???!??.? MKS. FORESTMARTIN set ubout getting her breakfast. The frylog-pan woa made ready with a bacon rind taken from a costly porcelain cup on the aldeboard. A pan of biscuit was slipped Into the oven and the coffee pot set on the back of the stove. And as she worked slie bummed a quaint little air. "Hullo, yes," came the friendly voice of a red-faced washerwoman, who was passing with a basket of clothes on her shoulders. "Tin a fnlne breakfast ye do he havln' this mom. I can fairly smell the coffee In the steam coroln' from the spout An' slngln' while ye work, too. Is them true silver an' porcellne on that hand worked stand clothr "Why, yes, thank you, Mrs. Mullins. I've had them a good many years. Won't you come lu and have break fast with me?" "Tliank ye, an' I wish 'twas ao I could. But I'm busy this morn. Tla twice ye've asked me, an' tbe third's the charm. So I warn ye. The neat askln' will likely find me ready to eat with the silver an' porcellne an' then he hurryln' off to brag ta me neigh bores. Bettina told me tbey were them, so I asked ye." The hesitation In the Invitation was so slight us to be lost on Mrs. Mul ling. Her face had a broad smile as she waddled on with her load, but the white-haired old woman behind gave a regretful sigh of relief as the wash erwoman passed from view. With tbe coffee pot steaming and the biscuit In the oven. Mrs. Forcst Murtln slipped Into the second of her two rooms, which was a mere closet two-thirds filled by a cot-bed. From a shelf the old woman took part of a loaf of bread, which she munched eagerly until she hod eaten about half. The rest was carefully plectd back on the shelf. Bark In her cozy main room, with Its two windows opening on the side walk of a squalid street, Mrs. Forest Martin again busied herself about the breakfast. I Iii 1 f o dozen esc* were taken from a silver Jar with a curious unicorn cover, the shells opened over the fry ing pan and then the contents poured Into a third silver dish. This dish Imd a cover, and the cover was re placed to keep the eggs from losing any of their flavor, thought two ob servers who were watching through the corners of their eyes. It was too early yet for trade to he good on the street, and Bettina of the concertina and dance, and Sudle of the apple stand, both permanent, looked covet ously toward the homelike room and the preparations for breakfast. The flne old lady had asked both of them to eat with her. and both, with a con scious feeling of Inferiority, had re fusal). Now, encouraged by one Invi tation. they wished she would ask them ngnln. They would be bolder this time. Also the whole street passed that window and they could watch for trade almost as well Inside as nut. Their covert looks became more direct and their thought now was to catch her eye. If they could do that they would he Invited to breakfast. The lady was like that. She was just a great lady with a motherly heart of gold. . All needed was Just to have her see them. And It would he such a sweet breakfast, like every morning?yes. there was the frulf now. In a fourth sliver dish ?ornnges and grapes- and peaches and pears, some of them from costly hothouses, as were the flowers In tbe rut-glass vnse. But somehow Mrs. I'orestVIartln did not see them, though they stood exjiectnntly quite near the window, now. She was still singing softly, eer gaze steady and dear, hnt lived upon her work about the stove and dainty breakfast stand, her head ns high as her bent bark would allow. They could not see her face, but they heard bcr voice. Though white-haired and very old. the voire was sweet and clear and of wonderfully flexible range. Suddenly I hey fell bark to their ac customed positions on the sldew.dk. nig Jim Reck, the grocerymon. was stalking stralgh't to lira. Forest-Mar tin's door, his face grim, a 'paper to his hand. From his store entrance he. too. conld see her windows and the preparations for breakfast "Von will pay me my money, now." he demanded ns he*entered the room unceremoniously and without knock ing. and shook the .paper In from of her face. She shook her head smlttnely, but with a straight look from ber eyes. "I cannot" she answered. "See" She took an old-time purae from her pocket and shook Its contents Into her band.
