A lotter recelved from Washing- ton sald that President Coolidge planned to reach = Swampscott in June and to remain until the middle of August when he would leave for Plymouth, Vermont, to spend two weeks with his father, Colonel John (.

The president is already familiar with the surroundings of his new summer home from his frequent visits in the past ten years to the [from_a possibie hame of his friend and sponsor ¥Frank W, Stearns, whose estate ‘Red Gables” adjoins White Court.

Dr. Murphy recently returned after spending four months in scien- tiflc investigation of the region, in company with Van Campen Hellner, scientist and writer. The unexpeated downfall, he said, had demoralized the guana indus- try, one of the principal enterprises in Peru. In 1924 the Peruvian go- verniment exported 119,000 tons of the fertilizer valued at $9,000,000, but the present deposits, Dr. Murphy said, are a total loss. “Not a house roof nor the deck of a boat in the whole region had been made to withstand water,” Dr. Mur- phy said, “so that the most amazing conditions followed the rain. Cattle were lost and farins everywhere were washed into the sea. The streets of Talara were found filled with fish. The water had so enlarged the small mountain streams that they over- flowed. Rain-water minows had sprung up in no time, and these had been washed into the thoroughfares of the village. “At Elena we found burros, cattle and _goats feedink on paper cable tapé discarded by the telegraph authorities, Three days after the rain began, the region was bursting with green, and in t weeks the stone his way from gone Home after Get in touch with one of the dealers llsted here.

The application sald the object will be to furnish *“a direct low-grade line from New York harbor to the west via Pittshurgh,” There have been proposals by the New York Central to link up a line through Northern Pennsylvania by using existing rail- roads to shorten the distance from New York to Chicago. The proposals for railroad consolidation in the east have raised considerable contro- versy in the rallroad world as to which of the greater trunk lines might be enabled to connect the West with New York by the short- est distance.

So understood, it is added. | American international law which it is now proposed to codify does not | tend- toward ‘“separation of the re- | publics of this hemisphere from the world concert.” | The draft conventions which fol- Jow sweep the whole gamut of in- ternational relations between the re- | public.
