ASSEMBLY OF BIG LEAGUE PLANS TRUCE Would Stop Armament Construction Until After February GENEVA, Sept. 29.—The twelfth assembly of the League of Nations has adjourned after setting in mo- tion a plan for an armament’s truce to last at least until after the Disarmament Conference here next February and maybe for one year.

One house was destroyed, a the- atre and church-school were shak- en causing a general panic. Thousands of persons remained on the streets until daylight afraid to return to their homes. Six bomb explosions are report- ed, three doing no damage. The police ascribed the first ex- plosion to pranks of small boys but abandoned this theory when a terrific blast rocked the Holy Fam- ing. Panic in Theatre The blast stopped a motion pic- ture machine in a theatre across the street from the Holy Family Church. Patrons of the theatre rushed to the exits. A woman told the police she saw a man “leave an automobile, walk up the alley behind the school and then run out and a few moments later the explosion took place.” Another blast wrecked and set fire L . 0. & h&u nwne‘db.vcuswr y Rand could not be found in his house.

Hit by Economy of Americans ROME, Sept. 20.—Hotel keepers, tourist agents and others who de- pend on an annual influx of for- eigners for their living, are singing deep indigo blues this year. Busi- ness, they say, is terrible. Americans, who with Germans are the stock in trade of Italians, are fairly numerous, but théy are not spending any money. : The cashier of one travel agency ‘wmch caters almost exclusively to | Americans, tells this one: i “An American woman asked me | how to go from the Piazza di Spag- | na to the Piazza del Popolo.

BONE When Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh have completed their venturesome flight, doubtless, their most vivid recollections, their fond- est memories, will be of days and nights passed in the wilds, where they fraternized with strange, sim- ple-minded and honest peoples, and observed life in its primitive and unspoiled aspects. There they were off the beaten track and saw the last frontiers on the American con- tinent. Lionized and feted in citles for years, the intrepid aviator and his heroic help-mate enjoyed unique experiences and probably proceeded on their way reluctantly. Eskimos and Indians paid them sincere trib- ute, Missionaries gave them cordial handclasps and loggers and fisher- men busied themselves solicitously in providing for them humble com- forts. Echoes of barking malamuts on lonely rivers will be with them forever, and feasts awaiting them will not be as appetizing at Sour- dcugh hot cakes, coffee seasoned with condensed milk, and juicy caribou and reindeer steaks, ap- pealingly broiled. Hotel menus, largely standardized the world over, will be commonplace by contrast. Point Barrow and Nome will loom brightly in retrospect, stimulating | | their courage beyond, along the | forbidding coast of Siberia.
